This study examined the effect of preschooler's emotional intelligence, child-teacher relationships (intimacy, conflict and dependency) on children's social competence. A sample of 269 children (142 boys and 127 girls) aged 3 to 6 in Seoul or Gyeonggi-do participated in the Emotional Intelligence Scale, the Child-Teacher Relationships Scale and Social Competence Scale by teachers. Descriptive statistics, t -test, Pearson's correlation analysis and regression analysis analyzed data via SPSS ver. 20.0. This study followed a mediated effect model. The results showed that: (1) The emotional intelligence of girls was significantly higher than boys. However, the child-teacher relationship and children's social competence had no significant difference relationship to gender. (2) There was a mediating effect of child-teacher relationships between preschooler's emotional intelligence and social competence. The effect of emotional intelligence on social competence was partially mediated by intimate relationship, conflict relationship and dependency relationship. The degree of mediating effect was investigated in regards to conflict relationship, dependency relationship and intimate relationship. This study demonstrated that child-teacher relationships mediate the relationship between emotional intelligence and social competence of preschoolers.

본 연구는 어머니의 완벽주의적 성향과 양육신념이 유아의 사회적 능력에 미치는 영향을 알아보는 것을 목적으로 한다. 연구대상은 대전시에 거주하는 유아기 자녀를 둔 어머니 277명이다. 본 연구의 결과는 다음과 같이 요약된다. 첫째, 어머니의 완벽주의는 보통 수준으로 나왔고, 양육신념은 비교적 높게 나왔다. 어머니의 완벽주의와 양육신념은 학력에 따른 차이가 유의하지 않았으나, 완벽주의 하위요인 중 높은 기준설정은 학력에 따라 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 유아의 사회적 능력은 보통 수준으로 나왔다. 유아의 사회적 능력은 전체적으로는 성별과 연령에 따른 차이가 유의하지 않았으나, 사회적 능력 하위요인 중 애정표현은 남아보다 여아가 더 많은 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 어머니의 완벽주의와 양육신념은 유아의 사회적 능력에 상당히 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났는데, 완벽주의 중 높은 기준설정은 긍정적으로, 실패의 두려움은 부정적으로, 양육신념 중 창의능력에 대한 신념은 긍정적으로 유아의 사회적 능력에 영향을 주었고, 어머니 변인들은 유아 사회적 능력 전체 변량의 22.8%를 설명하였다. 이는 어머니가 높은 기준설정을 통한 완벽추구 성향이 높고, 실패의 두려움과 관련된 완벽주의가 적고, 유아의 창의능력 촉진에 대한 신념이 강할수록 유아의 사회적 능력이 높아짐을 의미한다. 본 연구결과는 유아의 사회적 능력 함양을 위한 부모교육 프로그램 개발에 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the sequential mediating effects of self-esteem and positive peer play interaction between warmth parenting and the social competence of preschoolers. Methods: The 7th wave of the Panel Study on Korean Children(2014) was used to analyze 1,113 preschoolers. Sequential mediation effects were analyzed using SPSS Process Macro(Hayes, 2013). Results: Warmth parenting indirectly affected preschooler's social competence (cooperation, assertion, self-control) by yielding sequential mediation effects on self-esteem and peer play interaction. Namely, warmth parenting does not directly affect social competence but does have a significant effect on preschooler self-esteem, which positively affected peer play interaction. This path increases the social competence(cooperation, assertion, self-control) of preschool children. Conclusion/Implications: In order to increase the social competence (cooperation, assertion, self-control) of preschool children, it is important for the preschooler to consider themselves a worthy person and to learn positive interaction techniques through warmth parenting.

The present study aimed at investigating the relations between the amount of child care experienced in the first three years of life and socioemotional development of children at age 4 indicated by problem behaviors and peer competence. Using the longitudinal data of the Panel Study of Korean Children(PSKC), the information of 1,699 children were analyzed. The results indicated that any child care experience, hours in child care, full-time child care and early entry to child care were significantly related to children's externalizing behavior problem and play disruption at age 4. Some significant relations were detected between child care experience and better peer competence as well. Interestingly, the patterns of relations were different for boys and girls. Being in child care, a greater amount of child care and early entry to child care tended to be related to externalizing problem behaviors of boys and whereas they were more related to peer competence of girls indicated by play interaction, play disruption and play disconnection. Child care hours at age 3 were relative stronger predictors of children's development compared to those at age 1 or at age 2. The findings imply that the amount of child care during the first 3 years of life does not have strong harmful effects on preschoolers' socioemotional development and that there are differences in the effects of child care on boys and girls.
