The purpose of this study was to develop a social skills training program for rejected young children and to investigate the effects of the program. The developed program used several kinds of interaction methods such as instruction, modeling, rehearsal, feedback, and positive reinforcement. The contents of the program are consisted of role-play, art, language activities, and games. The experimental group with a sample of 9 four-year-old children was those children rejected by peers. There were the other 9 children assigned to the control group. The experimental group received the social skills training program for 50-60 minutes per day twice a week during 12 sessions, and the control group received no treatment. And 9 popular children also joined the program from ninth to eleventh sessions. As compared to the control group, children in the experimental group showed a significant increase in peer acceptance and social skills after they participated in the program.

Children who have problems in interacting appropriately with others typically have significant social skills deficits. Social skills training has become a primary intervention to improve the appropriate peer relationship or peer acceptance. Many social skills training programs have been designed and implemented on socially isolated children, however the findings from many studies investigating the effect of social skills interventions are various. The first purpose of this study was to verify the effectiveness of interventions by using quantitative method of meta-analysis. Second, it was to review a various research in detail. Third, it was to provide the basis of planning a social skills training program. For these purposes, findings from 26 studies investigating the effects of social skills interventions for 624 socially isolated children (5-12 years) were analyzed. The result of this study were the following : The pooled overall mean effect size(ES) was 1.11. On average, the pooled mean effect size(ES) according to the different research variables was large, meaning that the social skills intervention had a great effect and was socially important and necessary for socially isolated children. It would be recommended that social skills programs include appropriate target behaviors through multidisciplinary assessment process. This program should mainly focus on the improvement of prosocial behavior skills as well as reducing problem behaviors. For preschool children, over 50 minutes per session, two to three sessions per week, for a total of total over 20 sessions would be ideal. Posttest and follow-up need to perform for generalization and maintenance. Content of the program should be tailored to the developmental level as well as the interest level of the children.

This study examined the effects of social skills training combined with social stories and movement activities designed to change the social behaviors of children with ADHD. Six first-grade children with ADHD participated in the training program, which was composed of 15 sessions over 2 months. Our results indicated that：(1) Children's problematic behaviors were reduced after the training. Anxiety was reduced by a statistically significant level. Depression, delinquency, and hyperactivity were also reduced, but these did not reach a statistically significant level. (2) Children's social skills were improved after the training. Self-assertion and self-control were increased by a statistically significant level. Cooperation was also improved, but it did not reach a statistically significant level. (3) Children's social behaviors became more prosocial after participation in the training program.

Based on characteristics of victims, the parent education program focused on building a new concept of personal respect toward their children and on changing overprotective and coercive parenting styles into democratic parenting. The social skills training program focused on building self-acceptance, self-esteem and interpersonal capabilities in victimized children. Three groups, each composed of 6 victims and their mothers, were compared to examine the effectiveness of the programs. Children in experimental group I showed marked increase in self-esteem. They also reported that their mothers' overprotective parenting decreased after participation in the parent education program, indicating the effectiveness of the intervention program.

Objectives: The purposes of this study are to evaluate the effect of a school-based social skills training program on the emotional regulation of children and adolescents and to assess the plan for effective school-based mental health services. Methods: The Child and Adolescent Mental health promotion team of Bugok National Hospital conducted school-based social skills training (N=90, 7 sessions) for elementary and middle school students. Evaluations were conducted before and after the application of the program using a prosocial behavior questionnaire, a cohesiveness questionnaire, the Korean version of the 20-item Toronto Alexithymia Scale, a self-esteem scale, and the Novaco anger scale, in order to identify any changes. Results: The social skills training program increased the prosocial behavior and cohesiveness of the children and adolescents and decreased their alexithymic tendency and degree of anger, but did not significantly change their self-esteem. Conclusion: The social skills training program positively influences the emotional and behavioral levels of children and adolescents. The emotional regulation program based on a social skills training program is expected to have positive results in school-based mental health services. Future investigations are needed to validate the long term effects of this program.

Objectives: Children with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder(ADHD) often have difficulties in social behavior. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a short-term training program for improving social skills, self-perception and attention deficits. Methods: The subjects were nine children diagnosed with ADHD with(or without) other mental disorders using the Diagnostic Interview Schedule for Children(DISC-ADHD) module. Children were given eight sessions of a social skills training program. Parents of children simultaneously participated in their own training which was designed to support their children's generalization of skills. Assessments included child, parent and teacher ratings of social skills, self-perception and attention deficit at baseline and post-treatment. Results: Social skills training led to significant improvements in child-reported measures of self-esteem, in teacher reported measures of social skills, and in parent-reported measures of attention deficit. Conclusion: This study suggests that short-term social skills training programs for children with ADHD may improve their social skills, self-perception and attention deficits.

주의력결핍 과잉운동장애(ADHD)아동에서 약물치료가 주의력결핍이나 과잉운동성, 충동성과 비순응적이고 공격적인 행동을 감소시키는데 효과적이나 여러 가지 습관화된 충동적인 행동패턴이나 문제해결 방식을 변화시키고 바람직한 행동과 자기조절능력을 학습시키는데 효과적이지 못하다는 제한점이 있어 왔다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 주의력결핍 과잉운동장애 아동을 위해 고안된 사회기술훈련 프로그램을 실시한후 사회기술 및 증상의 변화를 알아보고자 한다. 본원 외래 및 입원환자중 주 진단을 ADHD로 받은 $6{\sim}13$세 연령의 아동 16명을 대상으로, 순수한 ADHD 아동군, 품행장애가 동반된 ADHD 아동군, 지능저하 등 다른 질환군이 동반된 ADHD 아동군으로 동반증상에 따라 3집단으로 나누어 10주간의 사회기술훈련 프로그램을 실시하였다. 증상의 변화 및 사회기술의 변화를 보기위해 아동행동조사표(Child Behavior Checklist, CBCL), 주의력결핍 과잉운동장애 포괄적 교사평정척도(The ADD-H Comprehensive Teacher's Rating Scale：ACTeRS), 사회기술 평가척도(Social Skills Rating Scale：SSRS), Matson의 아동 사회기술 평가척도(Matson Evaluation of Social Skills for Youth：MESSY)를 치료전후에 실시하였다. 각 집단에서 치료전후의 효과에 대한 비교는 비모수검증인 Wilcoxon Signed Ranks test로 검증하였고, 치료전후의 변화의 정도에 대한 각 집단사이의 비교는 Kruskal-Wallis test로 검증하였다. 각 집단에서 치료전후의 효과에 대해 비교했을 때 품행장애가 공존된 집단에서 치료전에 비해서 아동행동조사표의 문제행동목록 중 공격성 요인에서 유의한 감소(p<.05)가 보였으며, 사회적 능력 항목중 활동성과 사회성에서 유의한 차이(p<.0001)를 보였다. 지능저하등 다른질환군이 동반된 군에서는 사회기술 평가 척도의 사회기술 항목에서 유의한 증가(p<.05)를 보였다. 그러나 각 집단간의 치료효과에 대해서는 세 집단사이에서 유의한 차이는 보이지 않았다. 위 결과로 보아 주의력결핍 과잉운동장애 아동에서 사회기술훈련 치료프로그램은 통계적으로 유의미할 만한 사회기술 향상은 보이지 않았다. 반면 품행장애가 동반된 군에서 공격적 행동의 감소를 가져오고 인지능력이 떨어진 군에서 사회기술 호전을 보이는 등 아동의 특성 및 동반증상에 따라 사회기술의 호전 및 증상의 변화에 도움이 됨을 확인할 수 있었다.
