Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship pattern among the children's negative and aimless behaviors, and the variables related to teachers (characteristics, stress, efficacy, and quality of teachers' behaviors). Subjects were 190, 5 year-old children and 48 teachers at 45 child care centers. The children's negative and aimless behaviors were observed with time sampling method. The quality of teachers' interaction behaviors was rated by the Assessment Scales for Day Care Programs during the free play activities. Teachers responded to the Scale for the Teachers' Job Stress and Teachers' Efficacy. The data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlations, multiple regressions, and partial correlations. The results were as follows. The teachers' experience and the quality of teachers' behaviors significantly explained the children's negative behaviors. The quality of teachers' behaviors significantly explained the children's aimless behaviors. Lastly, the quality of teachers' behaviors mediated the relationship between the teachers' job stress and the children's aimless behaviors.
