Abstract

The primary purpose of this study was to examine the influence of mothers' emotion expressiveness and children's attributional biases on children's aggressive behavior, focusing on gender differences. The data were collected from a total of 86 children; 46 6-year-old boys and 40 6-year-old girls in kindergartens, and their mothers in Seoul. The emotion expressiveness of the mothers were measured by a self-reported Korean version of SEFQ(Self Expressivness Family Questionnaire). Attributional biases of the children were evaluated by using Dodge and Frame's Story-Based Interview Scale. Children's aggressive behavior were measured by teachers using a children's Aggressive Behavior Scale developed by Crick(1995). T-test, correlation analysis, and multiple regression were used to analyze the collected data. The results showed that the relational attributional biases of children positively influenced overt/relational aggressive behaviors. The emotion expressiveness of mothers and the aggressive behavior of children, however, were not significant. Regarding gender differences in children, the negative emotion expressiveness of mothers predicted the girl's relational aggressive behavior negatively. Implications and limitations of this study were discussed.

본 연구는 어머니의 정서 표현성과 유아의 귀인오류가 유아의 공격행동에 미치는 영향을 알아보고 이러한 관계가 유아의 성에 따라 어떻게 달라지는지 알아보자 하였다. 연구대상은 서울지역 어린이집에 재원중인 만 6세 남아 46명과 여아 40명(총 86명)의 유아와 그들의 어머니였다. 어머니의 정서 표현성은 자기 보고식 설문으로 측정되었으며, 유아의 귀인오류는 이야기를 사용한 인터뷰로 측정 되었다. 또한 유아의 공격행동은 Crick등이 개발한 유아 공격행동 체크리스트를 교사가 보고하여 측정하였다. 분석 결과, 유아의 관계적 귀인오류가 유아의 외현적 공격행동과 관계적 공격행동을 정적으로 유의하게 설명하는 변인으로 나타났으며 어머니의 정서 표현성과 유아의 공격행동은 아무런 관련성이 없는 것으로 나타났다. 유아의 성에 따라 분석한 결과, 어머니의 부적 정서 표현성이 여아의 관계적 공격행동을 부적으로 유의하게 설명하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과는 유아의 성에 따른 어머니 및 유아 변인이 유아의 공격 행동의 차이를 설명한다는 것을 의미한다.
