This study focused on the importance of the attachment/caregiving system at a dyadic level, and examined relationships between maternal representations of caregiving, maternal caregiving behavior, and child attachment. Seventy-five middle-class mothers and their preschool children(ages 3-4) participated in the study. Results indicated a strong correspondence between maternal representations of caregiving and maternal caregiving behavior at the secure/insecure and ordered/disordered level. The correspondence between maternal representations of caregiving and their preschooler's attachment, and between maternal caregiving behavior and their preschooler's attachment at the secure/insecure level were also strong. The correspondence between maternal representations of caregiving and their preschooler's attachment was mediated by maternal caregiving behavior.

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.

The present study examined preschooler's (3-5yrs) representation and evaluation skills in a puzzle completion task. The puzzle contained panels of four children dressed for each seacon and the key to success was using a body scheme to reconstruct the panels (head, torso, legs, feet and sky on top). Baseline data (Study 1) revealed a developmental pattern of increasing bydy scheme representation along with more careful attention to season consitent construction. Spontaneous verbalization also shifted from more guiding statements (where'the head?) to move evaluative statements (this isn't right). Study 2 examined different intervention techniques for increasing representation (verbal laveling) and evaluative processes (error detection practice), along with a control group that had unassisted practice. Three year olds benefited from verbal labeling, four year olds from both types of training. Verbalizations also showed appropriated shifts toward increasing evaluation, particularly for the older children. These findings are discussed in terms of a developmental hypothesis that representation precedes evaluation skills and that training techniques should take into account the relative balance between representation and evaluation skills in the individual for the task at hand.

본 연구는 유아의 내적표상 유형에 따라 가정에서의 코티솔 분비 패턴이 어떠한지를 탐색해보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 40명의 유아를 대상으로 이야기 완성과제(MacArthur Story Stem Battery, Breth erton et al. 1990)를 실시하였고, 가정에서 유아의 타액을 채취하여 수집하였다. 수집된 자료는 기술통계, 군집분석을 통해 분석하였다. 분석결과 유아의 내적표상 유형은 불안유형, 제한유형, 비조절된 공격유형, 회피유형, 친사회유형의 5개 유형으로 나타났으며, 유아의 가정에서의 코티솔 분비 패턴은 오전에 코티솔 분비가 많고 오후로 갈수록 떨어지는 패턴으로 나타났다. 또한 내적표상 유형에 따라 분비패턴이 다르게 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 통해 볼 때 유아의 내적 표상이 일상적 스트레스 상황과 부모와의 상호작용시에 유아의 반응과 스트레스 호르몬의 활성화 정도에 영향을 미칠 가능성이 있음을 조심스레 예측할 수 있다.
