This study investigated relationships among infant development, teacher's sensitivity, home literacy environment, and infant-teacher interaction in the child care setting. Verbal and behavioral interactions between 30 2-year-old infant-teacher pairs were video-recorded during free play activities; teachers' sensitivity was observed by trained observers; infant development was assessed by teachers; data on the early home literacy environment were gathered through maternal self-reported questionnaires. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-tests, and correlation analyses. Results indicated that boys showed more naming; girls showed more physical contact with teachers. Infants high in overall developmental level showed more behavioral interaction with teachers. Teacher's sensitivity correlated positively with behavioral imitating and negatively with questioning and nodding. Verbal interaction in the home correlated positively with nodding.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the teacher-child relationship as it is self-conceived by teachers in regards to children's peer-competence and self-regulation and to also examine how the teacher-child relationship affects peer-competence and self-regulation. 17 teachers were surveyed using the Student-Teacher Relationship Scale, Peer-Competence Scale and Self-Regulation Scale in regard to approximately 270 children (aged 4-5 years old). Our results indicated that the pro-sociality, sociality, and leadership qualities of child peer-competence correlated positively with the friendliness of teacher-child relationships but correlated negatively in cases of conflicts within the teacher-child relationship. The factors of self-appraisal, self-determination and behavior inhibition of child self-regulation were found to be positively related with the friendliness of teacher-child relation but related negatively with presence of the conflict within the teacher-child relationship. It was also found that sociable and self-determinative children tended to be on more friendly terms with teachers.

The main purpose of the study was to investigate relationships between subjective evaluation of comfort/discomfort and tactile sensation. It was also attempted to analyse physical properties of fabric, hence to find physical factors which have effects on wearing- comfort. The results were as follows; 1. Polyester fabric B Type ranked the highest on subjective comfort scale of T-shirts. 2. Scratchiness and flexural rigidity among subjective factors were important on overall comfort sensations of the subjects. 3, In winter, subjective factors, suchas Soratchiness, Heaviness & Flexural Rigidity, were significantly correlated with objective factors of Scratchiness, Thickness & Weight, Stiffness, respectively. 4. In summer, subjective factors such as warmth, Heaviness, Clammy & Cling Tension, Flexural Rigidity, were significantly correlated with objective factors of Thermal Insulation, Thickness & Weight, Cling Tension and stiffness, respertively. 5. Scratchiness, Weight, Stiffness & Thermal Insulation among objective factors were important on overall comfort sensation of the subjects.

This study investigated the relationship between mother's parenting attitudes and the adjustment to kindergarten of young children by gender and only-child/ sibling status. Subjects consisted of 210 3- to 6-year-old children and their mothers sampled from 3 kindergartens in Seoul City and Gyeongbuk Province, Korea. Instruments were the Maternal Parenting Attitude Scale (Ahn, 2000) and Kindergarten Adjustment Scale(Oh, 2006). Statistical methods were correlation and t-test. Results showed that mothers' hostile parenting attitude correlated with children's problematic adjustment to kindergarten and controlling parenting attitudes correlated with children's negative adjustment to kindergarten. Children's kindergarten adjustment varied by gender : boys' problem behavior was higher than girls'. Finally, being an only child or having siblings was not significantly related to kindergarten adjustment.

The subjects, 114 mothers with infants from 6- to 24- months of age, were administered the Infant Behavior Questionnaire-Revised(Gartstein & Rothbart, 2003), Adult Temperament Questionnaire(Derryberry & Rothbart, 1988) and Parenting Efficacy(Park & Rha, 2003; Lederman, Weigarten & Lederman, 1981) Boys were more distressed than girls in limitation and in falling reactivity/rate of recovery. Parenting efficacy was greater for mothers with daughters than mothers with sons. Infants' fear and distress to limitation correlated positively with mothers' sadness. Infants' attention span correlated positively with mothers' attentional control, inhibition control and positive control. Parenting efficacy was higher in mothers whose children fall asleep easily and have longer attention spans. Mothers' positive affect and activation control increased and frustration decreased parenting efficacy.

The purpose of this study is to investigate work/family conflicts and its relationships with antecedent and outcome variables. 421 employed homemakers living in Seoul. Kyunggi-do , Chungju, and Daegu provided data using questionnaires. The results of path analysis showed that the level of work/family conflict was weakly correlated with demographic and managerial antecedents( age of respondent and standards for household task performance) but strongly correlated with work wetting characteristics, physical/psychological symptoms, and life satisfaction. A research model received considerable empirical support. this presumed that work/family conflict leads to negative outcomes, and was caused by the stress resulting form work setting and non-work conditions.
