This study examined the relationships among children's attachment to the mother, trait anger, anger expression style, and emotional-behavioral problems in children. The subjects were 384 5th and 6th graders at elementary schools in J and G cities of Jeonbuk-Do. The instruments were Revised Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment (IPPA-R), Stat-Trait Anger Expression Inventory - Korean version (STAXI-K), and Strength and Difficulty Questionnaire (SDQ). The major results are as follows; The level of children's attachment to the mother was negatively related to anger and emotional-behavioral problems, and the level of trait anger was positively related to emotional-behavioral problems. Children who have high anger expression and anger suppression tended to show more externalized behavior problems. Finally, the regression analysis showed that children's attachment to the mother and anger are revealed as significant factors in emotional-behavioral problems.

It is known that as many as 1 in 91 children are diagnosed with an autistic spectrum disorder, and the incidence rate of the autistic spectrum disorder is much higher than that of cancer in Korea. It is necessary to develop a novel technology to sense their emotional status and give proper psychological diagnosis and therapy, since the children with autistic spectrum disorder usually do not express their own emotional status. This article presents the state-of-the-arts on the affective computing technologies that include recognition of emotional status through bio-sensing and virtual affective agent modeling, and then proposes a novel system architecture for diagnosis and therapy of autistic spectrum disorder. The diagnosis and therapy system of autistic spectrum disorder is composed of bio-sensing module, virtual environment module with affective agents, and haptic interface module. The architecture proposed in this paper will enhance the objectivity to diagnose autism spectrum disorders, and enable continuous treatment in daily life.

The purpose of this study was to verify the clinical utility of th Korea Child Behavior Checklist 16-18(K-CBCL 6-18) in diagnosing ADHD among children with psychological disorders in child welfare institutions. The participants were 509 elementary school children(309 boys and 200 girls) who lived in child welfare institutions. They were assessed using the Korean ADHD Rating Scale(K-ARS) and K-CBCL 6-18. Only five scales of the K-CBCL 6-18 related with attention were used for analysis: syndrom total, externalizing total, aggressive behavior, attention problems and DSM-oriented ADHD scales. The results were as follows. First, K-ARS and K-CBCL 6-18 had significantly positive correlations with all five scales. Second, as a result of a t-test on the ADHD and the non-ADHD groups, which were divided using K-ARS, the mean scores of ADHD group were significantly higher than the non-ADHD group for all five scales of the K-CBCL 6-18. The hit rate of all five scales of the K-CBCL 6-18 was 60 to 70 percent. The syndrom total and externalizing total scales had high sensitivity, whereas the aggressive behavior, attention problems, and the DSM-oriented ADHD scales had high specificity. In addition, all scales had high positive predictive values. Third, as the result of a t-test on the ADHD group and the emotional disorder group, there were significant difference in the mean scores of the attention problems and the DSM-oriented ADHD scales. The attention problems and the DSM-oriented ADHD scales had a similar percentage of hit rate, high specificity and low sensitivity. Especially, the DSM-oriented ADHD scale revealed higher specificity than the attention problems scale. The results of this study suggested that the five scales related to attention of the K-CBCL 6-18 are useful in diagnosing ADHD in child welfare institutions.

The online platform is designed to conduct observations for the purpose of primary screening using a smartphone, and then proceed to the offline secondary care linkage process based on the results. Then according to the results of the analysis, children and parents who need deep examination are figured out and professional institutions are linked to them for help. Parental stress had been analyzed to improve the accuracy of the test and to figure out the cause of the problem.

Sixty children, 4, 5, and 6 years of age were selected as subjects from 2 kindergartens. Their problem solving abilities were assessed with the Sink and Float activity and their emotional stability was measured with the House-Tree-Person test. General abilities for problem solving developed with increase in children's age. That is, age differences were found in all 3 problem solving processes of generating, testing, and applying hypotheses. No differences between sexes or kindergarten program were found. Children's emotional stability was significantly related to problem solving ability. While the relationship between emotional stability and processes of generating and applying hypotheses was not significant, emotionally stable children performed better in free play.

This study examined the relationship between family socioeconomic status, emotional behavioral problems, parental composition, and parents' life satisfaction, all of which are factors that affect the life satisfaction of Korean middle school students. To this end, multi-group analysis was conducted on KCYPS panel data. The results showed four major patterns. First, family socioeconomic status has a significant direct effect on the students' life satisfaction only when the student has two parents and when the student's parents have high life satisfaction. Second, family socioeconomic status only significantly influenced students' emotional behavioral problems when parents had low life satisfaction, regardless of parental composition. Third, the mediating effect of emotional behavioral problems (aggression) in the relationship between family socioeconomic status and student life satisfaction was only significant when the student had two-parents and when the student's parents' had low life satisfaction. Fourth, depression was the variable most stronly correlated with student life satisfaction. This paper discusses the limitations of this study and the impliations of its results about how to improve students' life satisfaction.
