This study was conducted to develop a Parenting Stress Scale that measures the day-to-day difficulties entailed in parenting for school-aged children. First, sixty seven items were collected as a baseline. Some of these items were pooled from existing parenting stress scales(Abidin, 1990; Kim & Kang, 1997), and the rest were generated based on interviews with parents of school-aged children. Secondly, Chi-Square tests were conducted and framer's V coefficients were calculated to determine the goodness-of-fit of the items. Twenty four items were selected from this step. The results of a factor analysis on these 24 items revealed two dimensions of this new Parenting Stress Scale, namely, 'school-related parenting stress' and 'general everyday life stress'. A test of construct validity also showed that this scale has adequate internal consistency.

This study examined the current interior conditions of children's rooms, and investigated the children's satisfaction of the rooms and their needs for improvement. Survey questionnaires were given to 205 elementary school children in the third or lower year grades and to their parents. Frequency analysis, t-tests, analysis of variance, and Duncan tests were mainly employed for data analysis. The findings indicated that the respondents' satisfaction of the children's rooms differed in their grade, room size, and the main color of the rooms. In general, those in the third grade, those in the rooms under 16.5$m^2$, or mainly painted in cold colors, tended to respond more negatively. Meanwhile, they expected to exchange their furniture for study, such as desks and bookshelves, and to individually possess electric appliances in their rooms. Most children's rooms were designed on the basis of the parents' preferences: The more the rooms reflected the children's opinions, the higher satisfaction with the furniture they showed.

The characteristics of each type were the following: Type 1. "Serious consideration of prevention care type" took a positive attitude to their children's oral care, were knowledgable, and maintained high concern about oral care. They regularly visited dentists for prevention and believed in caries prevention through brushing teeth. They also put high trust in dentists. Type 2. "Disposition by the existing state type" believed that caries could develop even with brushing teeth and could be inherited from parents, Practically, they had a passive attitude to their children's oral care depending on stages and were more concerned with the appearance of dentition than with their children's oral health. Type 3. "Home care-centered type" had less knowledge about children's oral care than the other two types and was careless for teeth prevention.

In this comparison of the relative effects of children's separation from their parents, socio-emotional adjustment was assessed by emotional and behavioral problems and emotional intelligence. Subjects were 502 elementary school children separated from their parents(162 in Yanbian and 340 in Korea) and their caregivers. Data analysis was by frequency, t-test, and multiple regression controlled by gender and grade in school. Caregivers living with children and their parenting efficacy were significant variables for the development of socio-emotional adjustment in Korean-Chinese children in Yanbian, but reasons for parent-child separation, caregivers' psychological and behavioral characteristics, and SES were significant variables for children in Korea. Implications are that regional differences should be considered in understanding and supporting the development of children's socio-emotional adjustment.

본 연구는 단기종단연구로 초등학생을 대상으로 부모의 방임/학대에 대한 아동의 지각에 있어서 성별과 학년 시기별로 차이가 있는지 살펴보고 아동이 지각한 부모의 방임/학대와 아동의 학교생활적응 간 어떠한 관계가 있는지 종단적으로 탐색하여 아동이 지각한 부모의 방임/학대와 아동의 학교생활적응 간 관계에 대해 알아보았다. 한국청소년정책연구원의 한국아동 청소년패널조사 2차년도 자료 중 초등학교 5학년 2,264명과 3차년도 자료 중 초등학교 6학년 2,219명을 대상으로 하였으며 본 연구결과는 부모의 방임/학대에 대한 지각이 아동의 성별과 학년 시기별에 따라 다르고 종단적으로 남아와 여아 모두 부모의 방임/학대에 대한 지각이 아동의 학교생활적응을 좌우할 수 있음을 보여주었다. 본 연구결과는 부모의 방임과 학대에 대한 아동의 지각이 5, 6학년 시기에 안정적임을 보여주는 것으로 부모의 학대와 방임에 대한 적절한 중재를 지원하는 것이 요구됨을 시사한다.
