The purpose of this research is to develop and evaluate an emotional intervention program for maladaptive preschoolers. The emotional intervention program focused on nurturing the ability to express emotions in healthy ways and how to empathize with others while the preschoolers perceives negative emotions. The participants in this study were nineteen preschoolers, residing in S city. Nineteen subjects were assigned to an experimental group practicing an emotional intervention program. The preschoolers participated in 8-session programs once a week over the course of eight weeks. Descriptive statistics, paired t-test and hierarchical cluster analysis were performed. The results of this study were as follows. First, there were significant differences between posttests and pretests results. The results showed a decrease in maladaptive preschooler's problematic behaviors and aggressive strategies. The maladaptive preschoolers showed more representations of anxiety, avoidance/withdrawal, and deregulated/aggression. In addition the results also showed a decrease in preschooler's representations of anxiety, avoidance/withdrawal, and deregulated/aggression.

본 연구의 목적은 비장애(non-disabled) 유아에서 선별된 감각처리문제군의 적응행동과 내재화/외현화 증상 관련 부적응행동을 대조군과 비교하고 감각처리가 적응/부적응행동에 미치는 영향력을 확인하는 것이다. 3-6세 어린이집에 재원하는 비장애 유아에게 단축감각프로파일과 바인랜드 2판을 실시하였고 최종 335명을 연구대상으로 하여 Pearson 상관, t-test, 다중회귀분석을 실시하였다. 연구 결과 감각처리는 적응행동과 유의한 정적 상관관계를, 부적응 행동과 유의한 부적 상관관계를 나타냈고, 부적응행동의 상관계수 범위가 적응행동 상관계수 범위에 비해 높았다. t-test 결과 감각처리문제군은 대조군에 비해 적응행동의 의사소통 및 사회성 관련 영역에서 유의하게 평균이 낮았고, 부적응행동의 모든 영역에서는 유의하게 평균이 높았다. 감각처리 하위요인이 적응/부적응행동에 미치는 영향에서 유의한 설명력이 확인되었다. 비장애 유아에서도 발생하는 비정형 감각처리는 적응행동에도 영향을 미치지만 내재화/외현화 증상 관련 부적응행동에 좀 더 많은 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었다.

The purpose of this study is to conceptualize the definition of school readiness specific to the context of the Republic of Korea. The school readiness test can be used as basic data to enable early childhood educational institutes to determine the general readiness of preschoolers and provide support to fit individual characteristics. For this purpose, six stages of the school readiness development process were considered, that is, draft development, primary preliminary survey, primary expert verification, secondary expert verification, secondary preliminary survey, and main survey. In the main survey, tests were conducted using the school readiness final draft targeting 344 preschoolers living in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do. The item discrimination power analysis and factor analysis for the examination area and question area were also conducted. Consequently, a test tool was developed on the basic of the results obtained, consisting of 129 items in the five areas of knowledge, function, adaptation, tendency, and attitude. The knowledge area was divided into general, linguistic, and mathematical knowledge, and the function area into fine motor function, basic living ability, expressive function, and gross motor function. The adaptation area was classified into adaptation activity, separation anxiety, maladaptive behavior, and environment adaptation; the tendency area into learning tendency; others understanding, and individual tendency, and the attitude area into rule compliance and life habits.
