The purpose of the present study was to investigate the longitudinal relationship between main caregivers' life satisfaction and depression and self-esteem of school-aged children, and to provide plans for improving the lives of the school-aged children. For this purpose, we analyzed the three years'longitudinal panel data (2011-2013) of the Korean Children and Youth Panel Survey (KCYPS) including 2,342 first grade elementary school children employing the latent growth model using SPSS 18.0 and AMOS 22.0. Analysis results were as follows. First, main caregivers'life satisfaction and school-aged children's depression increased as time passes and linear change model was selected. Second, the initial status of main caregivers'life satisfaction had effects on the initial status of their children's depression, but initial status and rates of change of life satisfaction did not have an influence on the rates of change of the depression. However, it was found that the main caregivers' life satisfaction had effects on the school-aged children's self-esteem and it worked as a mediator on the longitudinal relationship between the main caregivers'life satisfaction and the children's depression. School-aged children's self-esteem was a partial mediator on the initial status of their depression and full mediator on these rates of change. These findings suggests that programs improving school-aged children's self-esteem should be developed.

This study investigated the effect of parental behavior and school adjustment on the depression of school aged children. The subjects were 386 6th graders (206 boys and 180 girls) from 6 elementary schools in Seoul and Kyoung-gi Province. Questionnaires were used to investigate the children's depression, school adjustment and parental behavior. Data were analyzed by SPSS-WIN program, including mean, standard deviation, correlational analysis, ANOVA, and regression. Results were as follows. (1) The children who perceived their parents' support and warmth as higher were less depressive than those who perceived them as lower. (2) The children who were good at school were less depressive than those who were not. (3) There were interaction effects of the children's school adjustment and parental behavior perceived by children on their depression. The regression analysis showed that the children's school adjustment was more influential on the depression of school aged children than the parental behavior perceived by children.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between parent's conflict, paternal/ maternal grandmother's psychological support and school-aged children's well-being. The subjects were 227 6th grade school-aged children in elementary school who were 128(56.4%) boys and 99(43.6%) girls. Instruments used in this research were CDI(Children's Depression Inventory), CPIC(The children's perception of interparental conflict scale), and psychological support scale. The data were analyzed by simple regression, standard multiple regression and hierarchical multiple regression(using SPSS 12.1). Major findings were as follows: (1) There was no difference in maternal grandmother's psychological support and paternal grandmother's psychological support. (2) Maternal grandmother's psychological support was more important variable affecting school-aged children's well-being than paternal grandmother's psychological support. (3) Paternal/maternal grandmother's psychological support operated as a main effect with school-aged children's well-being increasing as paternal/maternal grandmother's psychological support increased. There were not interaction effects of parent's conflict and paternal/maternal grandmother's psychological support on school-aged children's well-being.

This study examined the causal relationship between a mothers' depression and the emotional problems of their preschool-aged children as indicated by anxiety, depression and emotional reactivity. We analyzed data from 1,528 mothers and their children from the Panel Study of Korean Children (PSKC) collected when the children were 4 years old and 5 years old. Autoregressive cross-lagged modeling was conducted using AMOS ver. 23.0 to investigate the longitudinal reciprocal effects between mothers' depression and children's emotional problems. The results indicated that both mothers' depression and children's emotional problems were relatively stable between the ages of 4 to 5. There were significant cross-lagged effects from the mothers' depression to children's emotional problems and from children's emotional problems to mothers' depression. Mothers reported higher levels of depression when the children were 4 years old and the children showed more anxiety, depression and emotional reactivity when they were 5 years old. Emotional problems when the children were 4 predicted greater depression among mothers 1 year later. We also examined the group difference (between boys and girls) in the study model. Gender differences were not statistically supported. The results suggested that early assessment and intervention for mothers' depression and children's emotional problems are essential for a healthy mother-child relationship and later child outcomes.

Purpose: This descriptive correlational study was designed to examine the relationship of attachment security to social anxiety and depression. In addition, the mediating effect of self competency in relation to attachment security and the other variables was investigated. Methods: Data were collected from 194 students in grade 5 or 6, and descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation coefficient, and hierachical multiple regression were used with SPSS/PC 12.0 program to analyze the data. The instruments used were Kerns, Klepac and Cole's Security Scale, La Greca & Stones' Revised Social Anxiety Scales for children (SASC-R), Cho and Lee's Korean form of Kovacs' children's Depression Inventory (CDI) and Harter' Self-perception Profile for Children. Results: There were significantly negative effects between attachment security and the variables, social anxiety and depression. Also, self competency was negatively correlated with social anxiety and depression. Self competency had a significant mediating effect on the relation of social anxiety and depression to attachment security. Conclusion: For the effective management and prevention of social anxiety and depression in school-aged children, programs including strategies to increase self competency should be developed. These programs can increase self competency which has a mediator role between attachment security and the other variables (social anxiety and depression).

This study was performed to understand the depression of children with hearing impairment with relation to their mothers' nurturing attitude and sign language level. The subjects were 131 hearing impaired children aged from 9 to 16 years and their mothers, who had no hearing impairments. The children's depression was assessed by CDI(Kovacs 1983) adapted by Cho and Lee(1990), and the maternal attitude was measured through the instrument developed by Oh and Lee(1982) and revised by Lim(1987). The results were as follows. First, the girls' depression was higher than the boys', and children in a dormitory type of school showed higher depression than those in a general type of school. Second, children's depression did not show differences according to mother-child communication methods but differed according to mothers' sign language level. Children whose mothers had high level of sign language showed the highest depression and those whose mothers had beginning level of sign language showed the lowest depression. And mothers' affective, goal- achieving and rational attitude were negatively related with children's depression. Third, the depression of hearing impairment children was influenced mainly by the maternal affective attitude, and the next order was the type of school the children attend.

정도에서 흔히 볼 수 있는 증상으로, 정확한 원인을 발견할 수 없는 경우가 많다. 또한 반복성 복통이 학동기 아동에 있어 사회적, 정신적 발달에 장애를 초래할 수 있다. 이에 저자들은 반복성 복통과 정서적인 문제중 하나인 우울성향과의 연관성을 알아보고자 본 연구를 시행하였다. 방 법: 광주시내 2개 초등학교 4, 5, 6학년 학생 1,181명, 남아 566명, 여아 615명을 대상으로 반복성 복통의 유형을 평가하였으며, 우울의 정도는 한국판 Kovacs & Beck의 Children's Depression Inventory (CDI) 설문지를 이용하여 비교 분석하였다. 결 과: 1) 반복성 복통의 빈도는 총 265명(22.4%)이며 남아 107명(18.9%), 여아 158명(25.7%)으로 여아에서 의미 있게 높았고,연령별로 9세 19.8%, 10세 21.2%, 11세 26.1%, 12세 19.1%였다. 2) 반복성 복통군에서 평균 우울점수가 대조군에서 높았다. 3) 반복성 복통군에서 복통이 자주 있을수록, 다른 증상을 동반한 경우 우울점수가 유의하게 높았다. 4) 복통은 배꼽주위가 가장 많았고, 복통 양상이 쥐어 짜는 듯한, 화끈거리는 통증이 있는 경우에 우울점수가 의의 있게 높았다. 5) 반복성 복통군에서 아이의 성격이 혼자 놀기를 좋아하거나, 학교가기를 싫어하거나, 친구가 적은 경우의 우울점수가 성격이 활발하거나, 친구가 많거나, 꼼꼼한 경우보다 의미 있게 높았다. 6) 반복성 복통군에서 복통의 지속시간, 하루 중 복통의 발현시기 및 요일 사이에는 유의한 차이는 없었다. 결 론: 초등학교 아동에서 반복성 복통은 높은 유병율을 보이며, 우울점수가 대조군보다 높아 우울증과 연관성이 있음을 시사하였다 그러므로 학동기의 반복성 복통의 적절한 진단과 신속한 치료가 필요하며 치료시 정서적, 심리적 지지요법을 고려하는 것이 좋을 것으로 생각된다.
