Abstract

The purpose of this study was to compare the difference between the adaptive and internalizing/externalizing maladaptive behaviors of the sensory processing problemtic group classified from non-disabled preschoolers and to confirms the effects of sensory processing sub-factors on adaptive and maladaptive behaviors. This study participated in 335, 3-6 years typical preschoolers, carried out Short sensory profile, Vineland-II adaptive behavior scales. The study result in the sensory processing showed a significant positive correlation with the adaptive behavior, and a significant negative correlations were found in the internalizing/externalizing maladaptive behaviors. In the t-test, the problemtic group had lower adaptive behavior scores than the typical group. This study confirmed that atypical sensory processing affected not only adaptive behavior, but also internalizing/externalizing maladaptive problems, that sensory processing difficulties were more related to emotional and behavioral issues.

본 연구의 목적은 비장애(non-disabled) 유아에서 선별된 감각처리문제군의 적응행동과 내재화/외현화 증상 관련 부적응행동을 대조군과 비교하고 감각처리가 적응/부적응행동에 미치는 영향력을 확인하는 것이다. 3-6세 어린이집에 재원하는 비장애 유아에게 단축감각프로파일과 바인랜드 2판을 실시하였고 최종 335명을 연구대상으로 하여 Pearson 상관, t-test, 다중회귀분석을 실시하였다. 연구 결과 감각처리는 적응행동과 유의한 정적 상관관계를, 부적응 행동과 유의한 부적 상관관계를 나타냈고, 부적응행동의 상관계수 범위가 적응행동 상관계수 범위에 비해 높았다. t-test 결과 감각처리문제군은 대조군에 비해 적응행동의 의사소통 및 사회성 관련 영역에서 유의하게 평균이 낮았고, 부적응행동의 모든 영역에서는 유의하게 평균이 높았다. 감각처리 하위요인이 적응/부적응행동에 미치는 영향에서 유의한 설명력이 확인되었다. 비장애 유아에서도 발생하는 비정형 감각처리는 적응행동에도 영향을 미치지만 내재화/외현화 증상 관련 부적응행동에 좀 더 많은 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었다.
