Abstract

This study explored mediating effects of the preschooler's emotional intelligence between maternal parenting behaviors and exclusion by peers. Subjects were 138 4- to 5-year-old preschoolers(92 boys, 46 girls) and their mothers. Exclusion by peers was measured by the Child Behavior Scale(Ladd & Profilet, 1996), maternal parenting behaviors were measured by the Parenting Questionnaire(Park, 1999), and preschooler's emotional intelligence was measured by the Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire(Lee, 1998). Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis. Results showed that preschooler's emotional self-awareness mediated the effects of both maternal sensitive behaviors and maternal hostile/refusal behaviors on preschooler's exclusion by peers.
