Abstract
This study involved using carefully selected fariry tales to effect children's peer competence and aggression. The subjects of this study were 41 four-year-old children from two private kindergarten in I city, South Korea. All subjects were from similar financial backgrounds and were divided into two groups: the experimental group(n=21) and a control group(n-20). The experimental group was given activities related to personality education after listening to fairy tales for 30 minutes every week, and the comparative group was given general daily routine operation. The collected data were analyzed by ANCOVA analysis using SPSSWIN 18.0. The results of the study showed that the experimental group had significantly higher peer competence than the control group and lower aggression. These results suggest that character education activities using fairy tales can have a positive effect on young children's peer competence and aggression.
