This study analyzed various factors of reading motivation and motivational differences between grades and gender. An urban sample of first-, third- and fifth- grade children completed the Motivation for Reading Questionnaire (MRQ; Wigfield & Guthrie, 1997). The MRQ assesses such possible factors of reading motivation as self-efficacy, intrinsic-extrinsic reading motives, and social aspects of reading. Factor analyses and cronbach's ${\alpha}$ demonstrated that 10 factors of children's reading motivation could be identified and measured reliably. Mean scores on most of the factors differed by grade and gender, with girls and lower grades reporting stronger motivation. This study found that children's reading motivation is various and decreases as children mature. Various efforts to encourage children's motivation for reading are suggested in this study.

젠더감수성은 성 역할 발달 초기 단계인 아동기부터 고려되어야 할 개념이다. 이에 유네스코는 '포괄적 성교육 가이드라인(Comprehensive Sexuality Education)'을 발표한 바 있다. 한편, 국내에서는 여성가족부가 아동기 젠더감수성 증진을 위해 '나다움어린이책'을 선정하였다. 본 연구의 목적은 나다움어린이책 속에서 포괄적 성교육의 개념들이 얼마나 다루어지고, 어떤 방식으로 표현되는지를 유네스코 가이드라인을 기반으로 분석하는 데 있다. 분석 대상은 저학년 아동을 위해 선정된 101권의 나다움어린이책이다. 연구 방법으로는 내용분석과 중심주제분석을 선택하였다. 구체적으로, 도서에 나타난 포괄적 성교육 개념의 양적 출현비율과 도서가 내포하고 있는 젠더감수성 가치를 질적으로 분석하였다. 연구 결과에 따르면, 나다움어린이책에서 가장 빈번히 나타난 포괄적 성교육 개념은 '가족 구성원의 역할과 책임' 및 '관용, 포용, 존중의 가치'였다. 반면 '사춘기' 및 '성과 임신을 위한 건강' 등의 개념은 다뤄지지 않았다. 질적 분석 결과에서는 나다움어린이책이 젠더감수성의 가치를 추구하는 행동과 그 가치가 실현되는 과정을 주로 묘사하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구를 통해 국제적 기준에 부합되는 젠더감수성 증진 아동 도서에 관한 비판적 담론이 활성화될 것을 기대한다.

Purpose: This study aimed to identify gender differences associated with weight related teasing by parents, and development of anti-fat attitudes among Korean children aged 5 to 7 years. Methods: This study used a descriptive cross-sectional design. Questionnaire interviews were conducted by enrolling 222 healthy children having normal development and living with their parents in South Korea. Results: Results showed gender and parental weight-related teasing was significantly associated with anti-fat attitudes among children. Significance of the association between parental weight-related teasing and anti-fat attitudes among kindergarten children differed according to the child's gender. Among girls, the higher level of parental weight-related teasing was associated with greater anti-fat attitude. However, parental weight-related teasing was not associated with increased anti-fat attitude among boys. Conclusion: Considering our study results, we recommend developing programs aimed towards decreasing teasing in the family environment, such as changing the gender-specific weight norms to prevent anti-fat attitudes in Korean girls.

The participants were 214 children in 4 to 6 grades and their teachers from one elementary school in Seoul. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, Pearson's correlations, and multiple regressions. The results were as follows: There were statistically significant gender differences in the children's social competence, emotional regulation and maternal parenting behaviors. Children's negative emotion explained boys' and girls' peer social skills, frustration tolerance, and task orientation.

It is generally known that children's development of 'gender schema' and 'gender role stereotype' has a positive relationship with the notion of 'gender role preference'. This study analyzed an unusual case focusing on the role playing of two brothers'. The elder brother, Hyoung-Gyoo, always preferred to take the female role, and he had a preference for feminine names like "Cordelia" whilst engaging in role playing situations. The brothers can be said to have crossed the border into the realm of intersexual role playing. The results revealed Hyoung-Gyoo's clear discrepancy between gender-related perceptions and reality, and showed his younger sibling Je-Gyoo's high level of acceptance towards his brother's extraordinary gender role preference. The results of this study can serve as a useful reference point for detailing unusual development from early childhood regarding 'opposite-gender-role seeking' characteristics.
