본 연구는 유아의 또래지위 집단에 따라 어머니의 아동기 경험과 정서반응태도, 유아의 정서능력 및 또래유능성에서의 집단간 차이를 살펴보았다. 연구대상은 만 5-6세의 유아와 어머니(137명), 담임교사였다. 어머니에게 자신의 아동기 경험, 정서반응태도에 관한 자료를, 교사에게는 유아의 정서능력과 또래유능성에 관한 자료를 수집하였고, 유아와의 일대일 면접을 통해 개별 유아의 또래지위를 측정하였다. 수집된 자료는 집단간의 평균차이를 알아보고자 일원배치 분산분석(One-way ANOVA)과 사후검증을 실시하였다. 분석결과, 또래지위 집단에 따라 어머니가 아동기때 거부당한 경험과 어머니의 정서반응 태도가 유의미한 차이가 있었으며, 유아의 정서조절능력과 또래 관계에서 교사가 평가한 유아의 반응능력, 불안정성, 과민성에서 유의미한 차이가 있었다.


The peer's role is very important in development and adoption for preschoolers because they have much more time with peers in modern society. This study examined the differences of mother's attitude toward children's emotional expressiveness, mothers' childhood experience, preschoolers’ emotional ability and peer competence by peer status group. Participants were 137 preschoolers (65 boys, 72 girls, aged 5-6), their mothers and teachers. Peer competence was measured by the Iowa Social Competence Scales: Preschool Form (Pease, Clark, & Crease, 1979), emotional ability was measured by the Emotional Intelligence Scales (Lee, 1997), mothers' childhood experience was measured by Mother-Father-Peer Scale(Epstein, 1983), and mothers' attitude toward children's emotional expressiveness was measured by Parent Attitude toward Children's Expressiveness Scale(Saarni, 1989). Peer status were measured by peer nomination test. The data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA and Scheffé test. Results indicated that (1) rejected preschoolers' mothers had more compulsive attitude toward children's expressiveness and mothers had a more rejected experience in childhood, they had more compulsive attitude toward children's expressiveness; (2) rejected preschoolers had low level of emotional regulation ability; and (3) rejected preschoolers had high level of hypersensitivity and neglected preschoolers had high level of instability.
