본 연구에서는 걸음마기 영아의 기질과 어머니 양육행동이 영아의 어휘력 발달에 미치는 영향력을 살펴보고자 하였다. 연구대상은 전라북도 I시에 위치한 47개 어린이집의 18~24개월 영아 299명과 어머니이다. 연구결과 첫째, 영아의 기질과 어휘력의 관계를 기질의 구성차원별로 살펴보면, 접근-회피와 적응성, 기분은 이해 및 표현어휘와 부적 상관관계를 보였고, 반응강도는 이해어휘와 정적 상관관계를 보였다. 둘째, 어머니의 양육행동과 어휘력의 관계를 어머니 양육행동의 하위요인별로 살펴보면, 교수적 양육행동과 긍정한계선 설정 양육행동은 이해 및 표현어휘와 정적 상관관계를 보였다. 셋째, 영아의 어휘력 발달에 대한 영아의 기질과 어머니 양육행동을 영향력을 알아본 결과, 이해어휘에 대해서는 접근-회피의 설명력이 가장 높았고, 다음은 교수적 양육행동, 반응강도, 기분의 순으로 설명력이 나타났다. 표현어휘에 대해서는 교수적 양육행동의 설명력이 가장 높았고, 기분, 반응강도, 활동성 순으로 설명력이 나타났다. 영아 어휘력 발달에 있어서 이해어휘는 영아의 기질인 접근-회피가, 표현어휘는 어머니 양육행동인 교수적 양육행동의 영향력이 가장 큰 변임임이 밝혀져, 어머니는 영아의 이해어휘 발달을 위해 기질에 적합한 상호작용과 표현어휘 발달을 위해 사물과 사건의 특성에 대해 말로 표현해 주는 양육행동을 하여야겠다.

This study was conducted in order to identify the relationship between home literacy environment and mother's interactive teaching behaviors, and infant's vocabulary ability. The subjects of this study were 53 infants between the ages of 18 to 24 months and their mothers. In order to measure the home literacy environment, the questionnaire used by Han Chan-Hee (2006), which was partly modified from Shapiro (1979), was selected, and to analyze mothers' teaching behaviors, Barnard's NCAST Teaching Scale(1978) was used. The infant's vocabulary ability was measured by the questionnaire first used by Lim Yong-Soon(2002), which was partly modified from the MCDI used by Fenson et al(1991). In conclusion, this study, most importantly, suggests that the teaching behaviors of the mothers themselves as well as the home literacy environment can both be very important factors affecting infant vocabulary development.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship of toddlers' vocabulary ability with reading activities and teachers' verbal and nonverbal behaviors during book reading. The subjects were 52 teachers and 104 toddlers at age 2. Lee and Kim (2004)'s categories of the Teachers' Verbal Behaviors, the categories of the Nonverbal Behavioral Analysis(Kim. 2005), and the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test-Revised (Kim, et al.1995) were used. The data was analyzed by t-test, ANOVA, and Correlations. The results indicated that there were significant correlations in the subcategories of reading activities in classrooms, teachers' picture book reading behaviors, and toddler's vocabulary ability. The toddler's vocabulary ability increased as the 'interacting time both before and after book reading' became longer. The toddler's vocabulary ability increased as 'connecting with previous experience', 'asking questions for confirmation', 'acknowledging,' and 'expanding' of verbal behavior, as well as the nonverbal behavior, such as 'requesting behavior', 'emotional contact,' and 'empathetic behavior.' In conclusion, teachers' reading behaviors and activities were related to toddlers' vocabulary ability.

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship among infants' nonverbal communication, maternal verbal behaviors and the infants' acquisition of vocabulary. The subjects were 93 pairs of 10 to 18 months old infants and their mothers residing in the Seoul and GyeongGi-Do area. The results were as follows : (1) In terms of the infants' nonverbal communicative means, it appeared that the group of 16~18 month olds utilized more gesture and vocalization. As regards the infants' nonverbal communicative functions in terms of social behavior and joint attention, the group of 16~18 month olds was found to perform more of the behaviors from this category than the other groups. There was a significant difference in the maternal verbal behavior among the different age groups. (2) Among the infants' nonverbal communicative means, gesture and vocalization, there appeared to be a significant relationship between vocalization and the infants' acquisition of vocabulary. In addition, there was an important relationship between the high usage of infants' nonverbal communicative functions with behavior regulation and the high usage of joint attention and the successful acquisition of vocabulary among infants. (3) Social play, which is a maternal verbal behavior categorized as one of the strategies for getting infants' attention, was significantly related to the acquisition of infants' vocabulary. (4) When mothers used more imitating sounds and mimetic words, requests for information, descriptions, conventional social expressions, and imitation to enhance responsiveness, infants were found to have acquired a larger vocabulary.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between parents' behavior during picture-book reading and home literacy environment and their effects on toddlers' vocabulary. The subjects of the study were 46 toddlers and their parents. The MCDI-K(Im, 2002), Lee and Kim(2004)'s categories of Verbal Behaviors, the categories of Nonverbal Behavioral Analysis(Kim, 2005), and the Home Literacy Environment Index(Han, 2006) were used. The analysis of the collected data was guided by the research questions and involved the use of descriptive statistics, t-test and an analysis of relevant correlations. The results of this study were as follows; First, the toddlers' receptive vocabulary score was 1.2 times higher than the toddler's expressive vocabulary score. Second, the father's book reading behaviors and mother's book reading behaviors were quite similar, the most frequent types of behavior being the use of 'feedback', 'explanation', 'questioning' and 'pointing'. On the other hand, there was a significant difference between the reading behavior of the mother and father as regards the categories of 'linguistic attention ventilation', 'suggesting', 'directing(instructing)', 'expanding feedback', 'pointing' and 'gesture'. Mothers performed more of these behaviors than the fathers. Third, toddler's vocabulary scores were positively correlated with the mother's 'linguistic attention ventilation'. However, the mother's use of 'restriction' was negatively correlated with the toddler's vocabulary level. Toddler's vocabulary scores were positively correlated with the father's 'description', 'reasoning/predicting', 'questioning about function or action', 'demanding feedback' and 'pointing'. The toddler's vocabulary scores were also positively correlated with the relative abundance of home environment materials and the amount of time spent on parent-child home literacy activity.

This study was conducted to identify relationships between toddler-teacher joint attention and toddlers' vocabularies. Toddlers' vocabularies were assessed by the MacArthur Communicative Development Inventory-Korean (MCDI-K) modified by Kim (2006); joint attention episodes were observed by classification categories for engagement condition (Bakeman & Adamson, 1984). Data were analyzed by means, t-test and Pearson's correlations. Results were that : (1) receptive vocabulary of toddlers was about 1.1 times as high as their expressive vocabulary. (2) Coordinated joint attention was observed most frequently, followed by supported joint attention; coordinated joint attention was closely related to support joint attention. (3) The relationship between toddler-teacher joint attention and toddlers' vocabularies were significant in a positive direction.

A total of 31 mothers of 5-month-old infants(18 boys and 13 girls) were observed and interviewed at home via a questionnaire format. Results revealed that perceived maternal parenting style had an effect on general infant general development. As mother exhibited more didactic and limit setting behaviors, the infants showed more receptive, expressive, and language development characteristics. Furthermore, the effects of maternal sensitivity on infant general development and language skills were also ascertained. The infants who showed more positive general development had mothers who interacted sensitively with them. Maternal sensitivity was the only factor that had a major effect on infant general development. The overall findings of this study indicate that perceived maternal parenting style and observed maternal sensitivity were found to have positive effects on general infant general development and language skills.

본 연구는 영유아 시기에 경험하는 생애 초기 가족의 누적위험요인이 가정학습환경을 통해 유아의 언어 및 사회성 발달에 영향을 미치는 구조적 모델을 검증하는 데 그 목적이 있다. 만 3세 유아의 언어발달은 표현어휘력으로, 사회성 발달은 또래유능성으로 나타내었다. 한국아동패널(PSKC)의 2차년도와 4차년도 자료를 이용하여, 1,725가족을 대상으로 분석을 실시하였다. 상관관계 분석 및 구조방정식모델링 기법을 통하여 분석한 결과는 다음과 같다. 우선, 만 1세 누적위험요인과 만 3세 누적위험요인 간 상관관계는 높아, 누적위험요인의 종단적 지속성을 시사하였다. 만 1세 누적위험요인은 만 3세 가정학습환경의 질적 수준에 부정적인 영향을 미치고 가정학습환경은 유아의 언어 및 사회성 발달 모두를 유의하게 예측하였다. 하지만 만 1세 누적위험요인은 유아발달을 직접적으로 예측하지 않았다. 마지막으로 만3세 누적위험요인은 유아의 언어발달을 직접 예측하였으나 사회성 발달 및 가정학습환경에 유의한 영향을 미치지 않았다. 만 1세 누적위험요인${\rightarrow}$가정학습환경${\rightarrow}$유아발달의 구조적 관계에서 가정학습환경의 매개적 역할은 통계적으로 유의하였다. 종합하면, 영아기 가족 내 누적위험요인은 유아기 자녀의 발달을 돕는 가정학습환경 구성에 부정적인 영향을 미쳐 유아 발달에 간접적인 효과를 가지는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 영아기 자녀를 둔 위기가족을 대상으로 하는 조기 중재 및 지원에 대한 정책적 시사점이 논의되었다.
