The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of family support and social support on the hopelessness of rural elderly people in an effort to provide some information on the improvement of elderly people's quality of life. The rural elderly people investigated didn't think that they were given lots of support from their families and society, and they didn't feel hopeless a lot, either. The hopelessness of the elderly people was under the negative influence of emotional support and instrumental support among the subfactors of family support, and that was affected in a negative way by affective support among the subfactors of social support. Therefore it could be said that the rural elderly people felt hopeless less when they were provided with more emotional support, more instrumental support and more affective support. Overall, social support had a negative impact on the hopelessness of the rural elderly people. The findings of the study suggest that in order to step up the improvement of rural elderly people's quality of life, a well-functioning model should be developed and applied in collaboration with local community, and the construction of a social support network is required as well.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the overall developmental characteristics of Korean children ages 0 to 8, and then explore specifically how children's social and emotional developmental levels are related to mothers' psychological states. This study was part of newly launched Boryung Baby Panel Study using web-based survey in 2011. The subjects were all mothers of 940 infants(0-2 years), 654 toddlers(3-5 years), and 484 school-age children(6-8 years) The mothers were asked to administer the web-based standardized developmental checklist for their child and fill out the questionnaires of psychological variables(life satisfaction, depression, parenting attitude, parenting efficacy, and parenting stress). The data was analyzed using descriptive analysis, t-test, and logistic regression for SPSS 20.0 windows. Major findings were as follows: 1. Infants(0 to 2) showed higher developmental level in cognition and fine motor skill domain compared to other domains. 2. Most toddlers(3 to 5) showed normal development in the most domain such as gross motor skill, fine motor skill, language, letter, number, self-help behavior. 3. In socio-emotional development domain, the ratio of risk or delay group were highest at both infant and toddler. 4. The 6-8 years old children that belong to risk group by the result of SDQ(emotion and behavior assessment) were also relatively high. 5. The relation of the children's socio-emotional developmental level and the mother's psychological variables were reciprocal. Based on these findings, the implications and the limitations of current study were discussed.

The purpose of this study was to develop a behavior rating scale for the evaluation of children's development for utilization by preschool teachers. The procedures for the study included content validation, pilot test, and main study. A total of 97 items were retained after the content validation and pilot test. The items of the scale were grouped into five areas (physical, language, cognitive, emotional, and social development) and 11 sub-areas. The resulting "Behavior Rating Scale for Preschool Children" was administered to 479 boys and girls, 3-6 through 6-5 years of age, selected from 10 different kindergartens and early education centers in Seoul, Pusan, and Chonju. The analysis of data was done with SPSS computer programs, including item analysis, Cronbach's ${\alpha}$ for reliability, factor analysis to test construct validity, two-way ANOVA to test age and sex differences, and percentile norms. The 97 items of the scale were found to be satisfactory in terms of item discrimination with indices ranging from .31 to .73. Cronbach's ${\alpha}$ was .98 for the total scale and ranged from .87 to .93 in specific domains, which was considered satisfactory. The factors extracted from each area were consistent with the educational objectives of the Yonsei Open Education Program except for emotional development. The intercorrelations among the domains were relatively high, ranging from .56 to .81. Age differences were significant in cognitive, physical, and language development, but not significant in social and emotional development. Sex differences were significant in all areas with girls higher on the average than the boys. Percentile ranks were drived from the total score for each age group and quartiles were calculated for sub-scores in each domain.

본 연구에서는 보육교사가 일과 중에 학급 유아를 대상으로 실행하는 정서적 지원 수준이 유아의 인성에 미치는 영향을 살펴보고자, 위계적 선형모형을 사용하여 교사의 정서적 지원 및 유아 개인의 성과 월령, 교사의 학력과 경력, 그리고 학급의 교사 대 유아 비율 및 기관설립유형이 유아의 인성 특성인 자기통제, 주장성, 협력성 및 책임성에 미치는 영향력을 분석하였다. 연구대상은 만5세 유아 646명과 이들의 담임교사 32명, 주양육자 555명으로, HLM 7.0을 이용하여 수집된 자료를 분석하였다. 연구 결과 교사가 보고한 유아의 자기통제, 주장성 및 협력성은 학급 간 차이가 있었으나, 부모가 보고한 자기통제, 주장성, 협력성 및 책임성은 학급 간 차이가 없었다. 또한 남아보다 여아가, 월령이 높을수록 유아의 인성 특성의 수준이 높은 것으로 나타났으나, 교사의 정서적 지원뿐만 아니라 학력, 경력 및 교사 대 유아 비율과 기관설립유형은 학급 간 차이를 예측하지 못하였다. 그러나 학급 수준의 예측변인 투입 이후에도 교사가 지각한 유아의 인성 특성에서 여전히 학급 간 차이가 존재하는 것으로 밝혀져, 추후 연구에서는 인성 특성의 학급 간 차이에 영향을 미치는 예측변인을 추가적으로 탐색하는 것이 요구됨을 시사하였다.
