목적 본 연구는 학령전기 동안의 모아상호작용과 아동의 사회적 발달, 건강 및 건강관련 삶의 질 간의 관련성을 살펴보고 향후 모아상호작용 중재 프로그램 개발 시에 기초자료를 제공하기 위하여 시도되었다. 방법 본 연구는 서술적 조사연구이며, 전북 지역에 거주하는 학령전기 아동과 어머니 230명을 편의 표출하여 자료 수집을 하였으며, 응답이 불충분한 설문지를 제외하고 최종 분석에 이용된 설문지는 총 209부였다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS 18.0 프로그램을 이용하여 분석하였다. 결과 학령전기 아동과 어머니의 상호작용은 5점 만점에 $3.96{\pm}0.55$점으로 나타났고, 하부 영역 중 아동 영역 점수가 가장 낮고 양자적 영역 점수가 높게 나타났다. 아동의 건강 상태는 5점 만점에 $3.75{\pm}0.62$점으로 나타났으며, 아동의 건강관련 삶의 질은 100점 만점에 $83.89{\pm}10.20$점으로 나타났다. 하부 영역 중 운동 기능, 긍정적 기분, 활력 영역에서 높게 나타났고, 문제 행동, 식욕 문제, 수면 문제 영역에서 낮게 나타났다. 아동의 사회적 발달은 24점 만점에 $19.66{\pm}3.57$점으로 나타났다. 모아상호작용, 아동 건강상태, 건강관련 삶의 질과 사회적 발달 간에는 모두 긍정적 상관관계가 나타났다. 결론 학령전기 아동의 건강한 성장과 발달을 위해서, 아동의 주양육자인 어머니와 아동 간의 관계의 질이 무엇보다 중요함을 인식하였고, 이에 대한 적극적 관심과 중재 프로그램 개발이 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

Emotion is a central feature of social interactions. In this study, we examined age-related changes in emotion expressiveness and emotion knowledge and how young children's emotion expressiveness and knowledge were related. A total of 300 children attending a daycare center contributed data for the study. Observation and interview data relevant to measures of emotion expressiveness and knowledge were collected and analyzed. Both emotion knowledge and expressed positive affect increased with age. Older preschool children expressed positive affect more frequently than did younger preschoolers. Older preschool children also labeled, recognized, and provided plausible causes mores accurately than did younger preschool children. In addition, we tested whether children's errors on the free labeling component conform to the structural model previously suggested by Bullock and Russell (1986) and found that preschool children were using systematic strategies for labeling emotion states. Relations between emotion expressiveness and emotion knowledge generally were not significant, suggesting that emotional competence is only gradually constructed by the child over the preschool years.

Objective: This study examined the relationships among sleep problems, executive function and social behavior during the preschool period. In addition, the mediating role of executive function between sleep problems and social behavior was investigated. Methods: A total of 304 preschool children participated in this study. The data were collected through maternal reports. Results: First, preschoolers' sleep problems were found to be significantly related to overt aggression and prosocial behavior. Second, preschoolers with sleep problems displayed lower levels of executive function. Third, preschoolers' executive function was significantly associated with social behavior. Lastly, preschoolers' executive function fully mediated the relationship between sleep problems and overt aggression, and between sleep problems and prosocial behavior. That is, preschoolers' sleep problems had effects on overt aggression and prosocial behavior, only through the effects on executive function. Conclusion: This study contributes to the sleep literature by examining the role of executive function and emphasizes the importance of forming a healthy sleep habit during the preschool period.

Purpose: This study aimed to identify the factors influencing the interaction between mothers and preschool-age children and construct a structural equation model based on the factors identified. Methods: The data were collected from the mothers of children aged three to six years enrolled in kindergartens in Seoul, Gyeonggi, Chungbuk, and Jeonbuk. A total of 328 questionnaires were used for the analysis. Analysis was performed using SPSS 26.0 and AMOS 26.0 programs. Results: The child's self-regulation (β = .42, p < .001) had the most significant influence on the interaction between mothers and preschool children, followed by the mother's parenting stress (β = - .23, p = .008), social support (β = .17, p < .001), and the child's active temperament (β = .15, p < .001). The child's gender, emotional temperament, social temperament, and mother's education level had indirect influences. Conclusion: These results suggest that interventions considering the child's temperament, mother's parenting stress, and social support are required to promote the interaction between preschool-age children and mothers.

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between parenting stress, social support and the social development of preschool children in rural areas. The subject included 114 preschool children, along with their mothers, selected from kindergartens and day care centers in rural areas. The instruments included the parenting stress index, social support inventory and the social maturity scale. The statistics used from this data were t-test, one-way ANOYA(Scheffe test), correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis. This study showed that maternal parenting stress was influenced significantly by the related variables; gender of child, birth order of child, age of mother, educational attainment of mother, family income, religion, family type. And also, social support was influenced significantly by the above variables. The child's social development was influenced significantly by the variables that related child and the family. Correlation analysis indicated that parenting stress and social development of the child were relatively negative high correlation coefficients. And social support and social development of the child were relatively positive high correlation coefficients. The important factors on predicting social development of the child were found to be birth order of child, age of mother, educational attainment of mother, family income, religion, family type, daily stress, stress of difficult child, stress of parent-child dysfunctional interaction, educational distress, husband support, and other support. Especially stress of difficult child and husband support were important variables that predicted the social development of the preschool children.

The attachment representation of 40 36- to 52-month-old upper-middle class children was analyzed in relation to their attachment security and mother-child interaction behaviors. Instruments were the Attachment Story Completion Task(Bretherton, Ridgeway, & Cassidy, 1990), the Attachment Q-set, and the Vocabulary test of the K-WIPPSI. Mother-child interaction behaviors were observed at home during semi-structured problem-solving situations. The Attachment Story Completion Task classified Korean preshoolers from these upper-middle class families as securely attached to their mothers. Girls' representation of their attachment relationship was more secure than boys. Preschoolers' attachment representation was significantly related to vocabulary ability. Attachment security correlated positively with preschool children's attachment representation. Mother-child interaction behaviors related significantly to preschool children's attachment representation.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to explore the application of the multidisciplinary model, which is customized evidence-based counseling for abused preschool children done by a day care center teacher. Methods: The participants were 16 preschool children which were abused by a day care center teacher and their parents. The data were analyzed by using the Wilcoxon Signed-rank test. Results: The multidisciplinary cooperative service model based on customized evidence-based counseling for abused preschool children, their parents, and day care center teachers was developed. Based on this model, customized evidence-based Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) emergency intervention was provided to preschool children abused by a day care teacher in Incheon. The multidisciplinary cooperative emergency intervention service proved to be effective in reducing emotional and behavioral problems of abused preschool children and enhancing the mental health of parents. Conclusion/Implications: The results of this study indicated that the customized evidence-based counseling for abused preschool children done by a day care center teacher using the multidisciplinary cooperative linkage system would be effective, and that child abuse prevention by day care center teachers and intervention services should be provided systematically at the national level.
