초록

본 연구는 유아기 또래관계에서 사회적 선호도와 사회적 영향력을 측정하고 공감능력, 공격성 및 자아존중감과의 관련성을 탐색하고자 하였다. 연구대상은 서울 및 경기도 유아교육기관에 재원 중인 유아 307명이다. 사회측정법을 사용하여 유아의 사회적 선호도 및 사회적 영향력을 측정하였고 자기 보고법으로 자아존중감을 측정하였으며 교사 보고법으로 공감능력과 공격성을 측정하였다. 연구결과에 의하면 사회적 선호도가 높을수록 공감능력이 높고 공격성은 낮았으며, 사회적 영향력이 높을수록 공격성의 정도가 높았다. 또한 공감능력은 사회적 선호도에 대한 설명력이 가장 높은 변인이었고 관계적 공격성은 사회적 영향력에 대한 설명력이 가장 높은 변인이었다. 본 연구결과를 기초로 다음과 같은 개입 방안을 제안하였다. 유아의 사회적 선호를 높이기 위해 공격성의 억제뿐만 아니라 공감능력과 같은 긍정적 특성을 발달시키는 개입방안이 필요하며, 더불어 학급에서 공격적인 행동들이 엄격한 규칙으로 금지되지 않고 또래들에 의해 사회적 영향력으로 평가되는 양상을 관찰해볼 필요가 있다.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of empathy, aggression, and self-esteem on social preference and social impact in preschoolers. Methods: The participants were 307 five year olds who were recruited from day care centers and preschools located in Seoul and Gyeonggi province. Social preference and social impact was measured with peer nominations. Empathy and aggression were measured by teacher ratings. Moreover, self-esteem was asessed using self-reports. The data was analysed using Pearson correlation and hierarchial regression. Results: Findings indicate that social preference is associated with empathy, however, social impact was associated with physical as well as relational aggression. Conclusion/Implications: The findings suggest that the practice of physical and relational aggression may be related with peer status as early as preschool.
