Objective : This study is designed to investigate the children' preference in play and leisure activities in accordance with age, gender, demographic, school interest and scholastic performance. Method : A total of 204 children and youths aged in 8-17 years living in urban and rural area were recruited. The preference of activities was asked by using the questionnaire and the PAC Korean version. Results : There are differences in activity preferences according to age, gender, school interest. Girls showed higher preference in most PAC scales except for physical activities than boys. As the younger children are, the greater preference in recreation activities is shown. There were no significant differences of activity preference in demographic variable and scholar performance. The higher interest of school the children had, the greater preference in formal and social activities was shown. Conclusions : This study showed that there is play and leisure activity preference in children and youths according to age, gender, and school interest. The result of this study would be helpful for occupational therapists working with school-aged children and youths.

The purpose of this study is to assess the play and leisure status of children in Korea. The subjects of the study were 564 children in elementary, middle, and high school classes in four districts of Seoul and one rural district in Gyeonggi Province. We surveyed and analyzed the objects, time, place and cost of both play and leisure and investigated the differences according to age, region and sex. The results of this study can be summarized as follows. First, the children's play and leisure subjects were more likely to be friends than family members, and the proportion of fathers among the parents decreased with increasing age. Second, the children spent most of their play and leisure time on media related activities. Third, unlike in the past, the children's places of play and leisure were very diverse and included many adult or commercial places, such as cafes and karaoke studios. Fourth, there were no differences in the cost of play and leisure, depending on the age or sex of the children, but there were regional differences.

This study investigated the characteristics and factors affecting inpatient infants, children, and adolescents who experienced falling, using NHDIS data from 2008 through 2017, The study analyzed data of 116 patients who were under 18 and who experienced injuries (KSCD, S00-S99) by falling (KSCD, W00-W19). Frequency analysis, cross-tabulations, and multiple regression analysis were conducted, using SPSS 23. There were more boys than girls, and most of the falls occurred at the ages of over one to under six years old. Most of the children had respiratory diseases, and most had open wounds or bruises due to falling. Also, most of the falls were related to the bed. In the factor analysis, age (β=.318), the main diagnosis (β=.231), and injury (β=.169) except gender affected falling. This suggests that it is necessary to conduct fall prevention education for children, considering the developmental stage characteristics and age group. It is necessary to screen the risk group such as children with a disease with relatively less restriction of activities or with a hyperactive disorder, and to develop a related manual. Hopefully, the results will be used as the basic data for fall prevention education and creating a fall prevention manual according to the characteristics of children's developmental stage for patients who need hospitalization, their caregivers, and the relevant medical team.

Background : Theory of Sensory Integration (SI) was initially developed with an effort to understand children's behavior by Jean Ayres and has been evolved with extensive research by occupational therapist practitioners and researchers since in the latter of the 20 century. With extension of recognition to SI, various professions begin to refer their clients who are children with sensory integration dysfunction. Upon those referrals, occupational therapists normally use Short Sensory Profile (SSP) to screen and decide whether SI therapeutic intervention is needed or not. Objective : Purpose of this study is (1) to examine any difference between different age groups and genders for children who are seven to nine years old; (2) to compare the score results of those Korean children with the original Standard which is established for American children: and (3) to compare tendency of response for each item between children with- and without SI dysfunction. This study was intended to validate test items of the SSP and determine whether the original standard of SSP is applicable for Korean children. Method : 155 students (81 for male, 74 for female) underwent SI evaluation using the Korean-translated SSP. 52 student (22 for male, 30 for female) were 7 years old, 54 students (32 for male, 22 for female) were 8 years old, 49 students (27for male, 22 for female) were 9 years old. Results : There is no significant difference of SSP score by neither age nor gender. In comparison the average score and sensory integrative disorder with the American Standard, there is significant difference on score of sub-item and total score. For six items, there is no significant difference on the tendency of response between children with- and without SI dysfunction. Conclusions : It is concluded that the original standard is suitable for Korean children aged seven to nine. The six test items that children without SI dysfunction shown similar tendency to respond are questionable to be appropriate as screening test item. It is suggested to proceed to do further item analysis study and extend the study to broad age groups, so develop the most appropriate Standard of SSP for Korean children.

In order to explore the impact of gender in the effects of age, temperament, and parenting on preschoolers' psychosocial problems, 339 preschoolers, 3-5 year old, were assessed using parent report measures of externalizing and internalizing behavior problems, temperament, and parenting. The results of ANOVA and hierarchical regression analyses are as follows. First, the main effects of age and gender for externalizing problems and the interaction effect of age and gender for internalizing problems were significant. Second, the important predictors of preschoolers' internalizing and externalizing problems were different by gender. In boys, Novelty Seeking(NS), Harm Avoidance(HA), and hostile parenting significantly predicted both problems. In girls, NS, HA, and warm parenting significantly predicted both problems. In addition, girls were more strongly influenced by parenting whereas boys were more influenced by their temperaments. The results of this study highlight some important suggestions for prevention strategies for preschoolers' behavioral problems. The implications and limitations of this study were further discussed.

오늘날 휴대폰은 20~30대의 젊은 사용자 층뿐 아니라, 고령사용자 및 아동사용자들로 확대되면서 다양한 사용자층을 포함하게 되었다. 이렇게 사용자층은 다양해지고 있으나, 휴대폰 제조사들은 다양한 사용자 계층의 인지능력과 요구사항을 반영하진 못한 채, 20~30대의 젊은 주 사용자 층을 기준으로 디자인하고 있다. 특히, 하드웨어적인 디자인 측면에서는 다각화가 이루어지고 있는 편이나, 소프트웨어 측면에서의 시도는 거의 미비하다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 다양한 사용자 계층에 따른 유동적 인지능력 및 요구사항, 감성에 맞는 맞춤형 My메뉴(Menu)를 설정할 수 있는 휴대폰 UI 디자인을 제안하고자 한다. 특히, 주 사용자 층과는 다른 사용패턴을 보이는 어린이들을 위한 개인화된 My메뉴를 설정하는 인터랙션 UI 디자인 개발하여 제안하였다. 본 논문은 먼저, 문헌과 사례분석으로 통해 기존 휴대폰 제조사와 서비스 사업자들의 메뉴 개인화를 위한 다양한 시도를 조사하였다. 또한, 어린이들의 사용 패턴과 메뉴의 사용 빈도 등을 파악하기 위하여 사용자 조사 방법을 두가지 방법으로 진행하였다. 우선 2006년 7월말부터 8월 10일까지 2주에 걸쳐, 만 9세~12세의 초등학교 아동사용자 남여 10명을 대상으로 휴대폰 사용의 전반적인 특성과 사용행태을 파악하고, 환경설정 및 주 사용메뉴를 조사하기 위한 심층인터뷰를 시행하였다. 그리고 1차 인터뷰 내용을 바탕으로 설문지를 작성하였다. 이번 설문에서는 주 사용메뉴가 무엇이며 사용빈도는 어느 정도 되는지 선호하는 메뉴형식과 용어의 어려움은 없었는지를 파악했다. 또한 사용자가 자주 사용하는 메뉴를 대기화면에 가져다 놓고 싶은지를 물어 직접적인 휴대폰 대기화면의 사용여부를 파악하였다. 2006년 12월 일주일동안, 1차 인터뷰의 아동사용자와 동일한 연령대의 아동사용자 남여 총46명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하여 더욱 정량화된 데이터를 얻을 수 있었다. 이를 바탕으로 사용자 연령과 성별에 따라 기본 디폴트 My메뉴(Menu)를 제공하는 방법, My메뉴의 항목과 우선순위, 테마를 설정하여 개인화하는 UI 디자인을 도출하였다. 본 연구는 아동사용자를 대상으로 휴대폰의 소프트웨어 UI 중 메뉴를 사용자 맞춤형으로 설정할 수 있는 방법과 인터랙션을 디자인하여 제시하였다. 이러한 소프트웨어적인 UI 개인화 시도는 다양한 사용자 계층의 요구사항을 반영하는 보다 효율적인 방법으로써 사용자 만족과 사용성을 높이는 효과를 가져올 수 있을 것이다.

The present study investigated the inhibition mechanisms of gifted children, which is one of the main executive functions in human cognitive system. The inhibition process was subdivided into cognitive and emotion aspects in order to examine the interplay between these two aspects with respect to inhibition processing. In Experiment 1, word-color Stroop task was used to study the cognitive inhibition process of 100 gifted children(Gender: 62 males, 38 females; Academic grade: 46 Elementary school students, 54 Secondary school students). In addition, emotional Stroop task was utilized in Experiment 2 to examine the effect of emotional component during cognitive inhibition process. Results revealed a significant cognitive cost (i.e., word-color Stroop effect) when participants had to withhold automatic response during cognitive inhibition task in Experiment 1. Such cognitive cost was reduced as the chronological age of the participants increased, with no difference in gender. The results in Experiment 2 showed no significant emotional inhibition cost (i.e., emotional Stroop effect) during cognitive inhibition task, and there was no effect of gender nor age. This suggests that the emotional component conveyed in words did not lead to cognitive bias effects. This study proposes that the cognitive and emotional inhibition processes are seemingly independent mechanisms that engage in complex interactions during inhibition processing of behavioral response.

This study examined the vocabulary competence of institutionalized and home-reared 6- and 7-year-old children with the use of the Revised Picture Vocabulary Test(Dunn & Dunn, 1981; Korean version, Kim et al., 1995), administered to 113 institutionalized children and 124 middle class home-reared children. Results indicated that the vocabulary competence of institutionalized children was inferior to that of home-reared children. Children who had lived in an institution for two years or more scored lower than those who had been institutionalized for a shorter time. 7-year-olds scored higher than 6-year-olds, regardless of institutionalization. Home-reared girls scored higher than home-reared boys, but there was no sex difference between institutionalized children. These findings suggest that efforts should be directed toward improving the linguistic environment of institutionalized children.
