This study investigated children's friendship factors such as number of friends, friendship quality, and friends' characteristics as a function of children's sociometric status. The concordance between children's and their friends'perceptions of friendship quality was examined. Subjects were fifth grade students recruited from two public schools. The peer nomination index assessed peer rejection and acceptance. Positive and negative nominations as well as social preference identified children into rejected and popular groups. Children who nominated each other on their list of friends were considered mutual friends. Children reported the quality of their friendships using the friendship quality scale. The results showed that rejected children had fewer mutual friends compared to popular children. Rejected children as well as their friends perceived their friendships less positively. Moreover, rejected children's perception showed lower correlations with their friends'perceptions than popular children's perceptions. Furthermore, rejected children were similar with friends in respect to peer rejection level. It was concluded that rejected children's problems in their peer group and dyadic friendships may mutually influence each other. The findings from this study highlight the need for future research on friendship quality and psychosocial adjustment for rejected children.

This study examined the developmental characteristics of friends and disliked peers in 169 children and adolescents, including 44 preschool children, 43 primary school, 42 middle school, and 40 university students. Their descriptions of 2 same gender friends and 2 disliked same gender peers were categorized with an 81 category coding system. Comparisons across age and sex were made by a cross-tabulation test. Results showed that the reported characteristics of friends and disliked peers varied by age, but there was no sex difference. That is, younger children liked their friends because they played together, their friends were generous and attractive, but older children liked friends because they had some similarity, were reliable allies, caring and concerned. Younger children's disliked peers were aversive, aggressive and hyperactive while older children's disliked peers were dissimilar and snobbish.

The Purpose of this study was to examine the direct or indirect effects of psychological family environment self-control, and friends characteristics of middle school students on their problem behaviors. Data were corrected from 520 senior students of middle school (266 boys and 254 girls) who reside in Inchon. The level of problem behaviors was directly influenced positively by closeness with friends and negatively by self-control and open communication with mothers. And the level of problem behaviors was indirectly influenced positively by intrafamily conflicts and negatively by self-control, parental monitoring and open communication with parents. Self-control was the most powerful predicator of problem behaviors of middle school students. Self-control was directly influenced positively by open communication with fathers and negatively by intrafamily conflicts. Closeness with friends was directly influenced positively by parental monitoring and negatively by self-control and open communication with mothers.

본 연구는 청소년이 바람직한 사회구성원으로서 성장하기 위해 필요한 요소로서 타인에 대한 배려와 돌봄의 행위인 친사회적 행동에 주목하였다. 또래집단의 영향이 청소년의 친사회적 행동에 어떻게 작용하고 있는지 알아보기 위해 또래영향모델과 개인특성모델을 중심으로 분석하였다. 보건복지부의 '아동청소년종합실태조사' 자료를 위계적 다중회귀분석으로 검증한 결과, 청소년의 친사회적 행동은 친구의 친사회적 행동으로부터 긍정적인 영향을, 친구의 반사회적 행동으로부터 부정적으로 영향을 받았다. 개인특성 요인인 자아존중감, 공감능력 변수를 포함한 모형에서는 공감능력, 자아 존중감, 친구의 친사회적 행동, 그리고 친구의 반사회적 행동 순으로 청소년의 친사회적 행동에 통계적으로 유의미한 결과를 보였다. 따라서 또래영향모델과 개인특성모델이 모두 유효하나 개인특성의 영향이 더 큰 것으로 검증되었다. 또한 개인특성과 또래특성 간의 상호작용효과를 살펴본 결과, 자아존중감이 높은 경우 친구의 친사회적 행동이 본인의 친사회적 행동에 미치는 긍정적인 영향이 더 크고, 공감능력이 높은 경우 친구의 반사회적 행동이 본인의 친사회적 행동에 미치는 부정적인 영향이 더 적은 것으로 나타났다. 청소년의 친사회적 행동에 대한 또래집단의 영향력은 개인특성에 의해 영향을 받는 것으로 나타나, 또래영향모델과 개인특성모델은 청소년의 친사회적 행동에 상호보완적으로 작용하고 있는 것으로 검증되었다. 마지막으로 청소년의 긍정발달을 위한 사회복지적 함의를 논하였다.

Purpose: The aim of this study was threefold, to longitudinally examine the risk of habitual smoking onset in adolescents, to delineate the effects of neighborhood characteristics and friends' smoking status on the habitual smoking onset, and to investigate whether the association between friends' smoking status and habitual smoking onset was moderated by neighborhood characteristics. Methods: This study conducted multilevel discrete-time survival analysis, using cohort data from the 3rd to 6th waves of the Korean Child and Youth Panel Survey, which excluded habitual smokers, matched with 2010 census data on respondents' residence. Results: Habitual smoking onset risk increased from the 8th to the 11th grade, and then slightly decreased from the 11th to the 12th grade. Friends' smoking status (B = 0.60, p < .001), smoking rate (B = 0.06, p = .038), and the number of tobacco outlets in the respondents' neighborhood (B = 0.51, p = .003) were positively associated with habitual smoking onset risk. Furthermore, the association between friends' smoking status and habitual smoking onset risk was moderated by the number of tobacco outlets in the neighborhood. Specifically, the association was stronger in neighborhoods with more tobacco outlets (B = 0.58, p = .048). Conclusion: Friends' smoking status and living in neighborhoods that are more susceptible to smoking increase the risk of habitual smoking. The number of tobacco outlets in the neighborhood enhances the peer effect of adolescent's smoking behavior. Therefore, policies or interventions designed to reduce youth's tobacco use should focus on not only on reducing peer smoking, but also restricting smoking by adults and the number of neighborhood tobacco outlets.
