Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of affective and cognitive empathy, and peer competence on behavioral problems among young children. Methods: The participants were 224 4- to 5-year-olds attending daycare centers in Gyeonggi-do. Children's empathy, peer competence, and behavioral problems were reported by their teachers. The collected data were analyzed using simple regression and three-step hierarchical multiple regression analyses. Results: The results showed that children who exhibited low affective empathy scored higher on peer acceptance and behavioral problems than children who had high affective empathy. This pattern of results was similarly found with cognitive empathy. Additionally, the effect of children's affective empathy on behavioral problems was fully mediated by peer competence, whereas the effect of children's cognitive empathy on behavioral problems was partially mediated by peer competence. Conclusion: These results suggest the need for peer-competence training based on affective empathy and training for both peer competence and cognitive empathy in reducing behavioral problems among young children.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of family economic distress, paternal depression, marital relationship, and controlling parenting style on behavioral problems in young children and to present a program for their reduction. The participants of this study were 344 fathers, whose young children were attending kindergartens located in Cheongju city. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, frequency, factor analysis, reliability analysis, and Pearson's productive correlation, t and F-tests via the SPSS 12.0 program, with the path model analyzed using the AMOS 7.0 program. There were six paths where family economic distress, mediated by paternal depression, marital relationship, controlling parenting style, had effects on the behavioral problems in young children. However, the path where family economic distress had an indirect effect on the behavioral problems in young children via paternal depression and marital relationship appeared to be the most influential. Also, paternal depression appeared to have the most impact on young children's behavioral problems.

유아가 환경이나 또래와의 놀이 속에서 상호작용을 통해 획득하게 되는 놀이성과 놀이과정 속에서 나타날 수 있는 창의적 성격특성이 유아문제행동에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 알아보고자 부산광역시에 소재한 공 사립 유치원 7개원에 재원중인 만 3세, 만 4세, 만 5세 유아 남녀 429명을 대상으로 조사연구를 실시하였다. 놀이성 측정도구는 CPS, 창의적 성격특성 측정도구는 이경화(2013)에 의해 개발된 '유아용 통합 창의성 검사' 중 창의적 성격특성 측정도구만을 사용하였고, 유아문제행동 측정도구는 PKBS를 사용하였다. 자료분석을 위하여 빈도분석, 신뢰도 검증, t-검증, Scheffe의 사후검증, Durbin-Watson 값과 VIF 값을 확인하였고, 중다회귀분석을 실시하였다. 연구 결과 유아의 놀이성, 창의적 성격특성, 문제행동의 간의 상관관계를 살펴본 결과는 놀이성과 창의적 성격특성은 정적인 상관관계가 나타났고, 놀이성과 문제행동은 부적인 상관관계가 나타났으며, 창의적인 성격특성과 문제행동은 정적인 상관관계가 나타났고, 놀이성과 창의적 성격특성은 유아의 문제행동에 영향을 미친다는 결과가 나타났다. 이와 같은 결과는 유아들의 창의적 성격특성 때문에 나타나는 행동들에 대해서는 문제행동이라고 단정 짓지 않고, 창의적 성격특성을 인정하고 창의성을 증진 시킬 수 있는 교사의 태도 관점에서 유아들을 존중하고 허용하며 수용할 필요가 있음을 시사하고 있다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the factors of child behavioral problems and construct a descriptive model that explains child behavioral problems for school age children. Method: The participants in the study were 586 4th, 5th, 6th graders and their mothers. The children attended 8 elementary schools located in Taejon city and their mothers. The tools used in this study was the Mother's Child Raising Behavior Scale by Park, Seong-Yeon and Yi, Sook(1990). To measure child's self esteem, the Self Esteem Scale by Kim(1987) was used; child perceived social support was measured with the Social Support Evaluation Scale by Dubow and Ullman(1989), and childhood behavioral problems were measured with the Korean standardized of version of the Korean-Child Behavior Checklist(K-CBCL)(1997). Descriptive statistics and linear structural relationship(LISREL) modeling were used to analyze the data. SAS and LISREL 8.12a programs were used. Results: The overall fit of the hypothetical model to the data was good $>X^2=103.07(p=0.00)$, GFI=0.96, AGFI=0.94, RMSR=0.04, RMSEA=0.07, NFI=0.94, NNFI=0.95< Maternal child raising behaviors(T=2.21) and child perceived social support(T=10.29) had a significant, direct effect on a child's self esteem. Maternal child raising behaviors(T=-3.87), and child self esteem(T=-2.04) and had a significant total effect on child behavioral problems. These variables accounted for 63% of the variance of the child behavioral problems in the school age children. Conclusion: These finding have provided support for maternal child raising behaviors, child perceived social support, and child self esteem as predictive variables of behavioral problems in school age children.

In infants and young children, bedtime problems and night waking are common and the main presentations of insomnia. Poor sleep may critically impact the daytime functioning and mood of the child and their caregivers. A comprehensive sleep history, a sleep diary/log, and the BEARS (Bedtime problems, Excessive daytime sleepiness, Awakenings during the night, Regularity and duration of sleep, and Sleep-disordered breathing) sleep screen are useful for diagnosing sleep problems in young children. Behavioral therapies for this type of insomnia include extinction, bedtime fading with positive routines, and scheduled awakening. Previous studies of behavioral interventions for young children showed significant improvements in sleep-onset latency, night waking frequency, and night waking duration. Parent education about their child's sleep, bedtime routines, and sleep hygiene is essential for treatment.

The current study examined the effects of socio-demographic characteristics and peer relations on the emotional, behavioral, and comorbid disorder symptoms among low-low-SES children, using the Young Lives Survey: an International Study of Childhood Poverty: Round 1, 2002. Participants were 1,000 8-year-old children (502 boys and 498 girls) from low-low-SES families. Data were analyzed using ANOVA, t-tests, post hoc test (Scheffe's method), correlations, and multiple logistic regression analyses according to the analysis strategy. There was a moderate correlation between selected socio-demographic variables and emotional/behavioral disorder symptoms, and the caregiver's marital status, child's health compared to others, child's work status corresponded to significant differences in their emotional/behavior levels. Regarding the logistic regression analysis, in addition to the effects of socio-demographic variables reflecting the characteristics of less-developed countries, marital status, child's working status, and conflicts with peers proved to be detrimental to emotional, behavioral, or comorbid disorder symptoms in low-SES children, who have been lack quality parenting, social resources, and child human rights. Results indicated the need to develop health care services that would address those problems and appropriate intervention and prevention programs targeting children in low-income families. Moreover, careful assessment and intervention for child's health status, child's working status and peer relationship problems are suggested as possible strategies for helping children at risk of exhibiting further problematic behaviors.

The subjects in this study of parenting attitudes, children's behavior problems and attention ability were 111 5-year-old children and their parents. Data was analyzed by mean, frequency, percent, three-way ANOVA, and Pearson's correlation. Results showed that behavior problems and attention ability of children varied by the parenting attitude of mothers and fathers. Behavior problems of boys were higher than girls, and boys' attention abilities were lower than girls.' Interaction effects were found between parenting attitudes and gender in children's behavior problems and attention ability : fathers' autonomy correlated negatively with boys' behavior problems (r=-.47), task processing speed (r=-.37), and attention inconsistency (r=-.36). Children's behavioral problems correlated positively with attention inconsistency (r=.28).

본 연구는 유아교사의 사회 인구학적 요인과 내적 요인인 자아탄력성 수준에 따라 유아의 문제행동을 인식하고 지도하는데 차이가 있는지를 알아보기 위해 수행되었다. 연구 결과에 따르면, 유아교사의 문제 행동에 대한 인식 정도는 2년제 대학 졸업 이상의 교사 집단이 기타 집단보다, 유치원 교사 집단이 어린이집 교사 집단 보다, 그리고 자아탄력성 상위 집단이 하위 집단 교사보다 높게 나타났다. 한편, 유아의 문제 행동 지도 전략과 관련하여 하위 영역에서의 차이가 확인되었다. 구체적으로, 교사의 연령과 경력이 많을수록 또한 학력이 높은 경우 긍정적 예방전략 I를 많이 행하였으며 반면 부정적 반응전략은 유치원 교사가 어린이집 교사보다 더 많이 행하는 것으로 나타났다. 끝으로, 교사의 자아탄력성 수준에 따른 유아 문제 행동 지도 전략 사용은 모든 하위 영역에서 집단 간 차이를 보여준다. 설명하건대, 자아탄력성이 높은 교사 집단이 낮은 집단에 비해 유아의 문제 행동에 대해 더 많이 긍정적 예방전략과 긍정적 반응전략을 행하고 있는 반면 부정적 반응전략은 자아탄력성 하위 집단의 교사가 상위집단의 교사보다 더 많이 행하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과는 교사의 유아 문제 행동 지도와 관련하여 교사의 연령과 학력 그리고 자아탄력성 수준에 따른 차이를 보여줌으로 이러한 변인을 고려한 교사 재교육 프로그램과 교사 양성 프로그램 개발 및 실시의 필요성을 시사한다.
