Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this research was to examine the moderating effects of relationships on the association between temperament and peer play interaction. Methods: The participants were 606 four year olds who were recruited from day care centers and preschools located in Incheon and Gyeonggi province. Teacher-child relationship was measured with Student-Teacher Relationship Scale. Peer interactions were measured with Penn Interactive Peer Play Scale. Temperament was measured with Child Behavior Questionnaire (CBQ). The data was analysed using Pearson correlation and hierarchial regression. Results: Teacher-child intimacy moderated the associations between inhibitory control and play disruption as well as between emotionality and play disconnection. Moreover, Teacher-child conflict moderated the association between emotionality and play disconnection. Conclusion/Implications: The findings suggest that teacher-child relationships buffer risks conferred by temperament.

본 연구는 유아의 기질과 또래놀이상호작용의 관련성에서 교사-유아관계의 친밀감과 갈등의 조절효과를 검증하고자 하였다. 연구대상은 경기도 및 인천시 어린이집과 유치원 11곳에 재원 중인 만 4세 유아 606명이다. 교사 보고법을 사용하여 유아의 기질과 또래놀이상호작용 및 교사-유아관계가 측정되었다. 수집된 자료는 상관관계와 위계적 회귀분석을 사용하여 분석되었다. 연구결과를 보면, 의도적 통제와 놀이방해의 관련성에서 교사-유아관계의 친밀감의 유의미한 조절효과가 나타났으며, 교사-유아관계의 친밀감이 높은 경우에는 의도적 통제가 놀이방해에 미치는 영향이 감소되었다. 정서성과 놀이단절의 관련성에서 교사-유아관계 친밀감의 유의미한 조절효과가 나타났으며, 교사유아관계의 친밀감이 낮은 경우에는 정서성이 놀이단절에 미치는 영향이 증가되었다. 또한 정서성과 놀이단절의 관련성에서 교사-유아관계의 갈등은 유의미한 조절효과가 나타났으며, 교사-유아관계의 갈등이 높은 경우에 정서성이 놀이단절에 미치는 영향이 증가되었다. 따라서 또래관계에 어려움이 있는 유아의 경우 기질 뿐만 아니라 교사관계와 같은 환경요인을 함께 고려할 필요가 있음을 알 수 있다.
