유아의 마음이론과 정서실행기능, 인지능력, 자아존중감 간의 구조적 관계 분석 = The Structural Relationships among Young Children’s Theory of Mind, Hot Executive Function, Cognitive Ability and Self-Esteem

국문 초록 (Abstract)

본 연구는 유아의 마음이론에 영향을 미치는 정서실행기능, 인지능력, 자아존중감 간의 구조적 관계를 밝히는데 그 목적이 있다. 연구대상은 S시와 K도에 거주하는 만 5세 유아 207명으로 평균 월령은 60.79개월이었다. ‘마음이론 검사도구’, ‘정서실행기능 검사도구’, ‘K-ABC’, ‘유아 자아존중감 검사도구’를 사용하여 연구자료를 수집하였으며 수집된 자료는 Pearson 적률 상관계수와 구조방정식 모형 분석을 통해 검증하였다. 연구결과 첫째, 유아의 마음이론과 정서실행기능, 인지능력, 마음이론 간에는 유의미한 정적상관이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 유아의 인지능력은 마음이론에 직접적인 영향을 주는 변인으로 나타났으며, 자아존중감과 마음이론 간에 정서실행기능이 부분매개효과가 있는 것으로 밝혀졌다.

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study investigated the structural relationships among young children’s theory of mind, hot executive function, cognitive ability and self-esteem. Subjects used in this study were 207 young children whose mean age was 60.79 months, and who attended five preschools and kindergartens. Research instruments used in collecting data were 'The Theory of Mind Tasks', ‘Hot Executive Function tasks(Less Is More Task, Sticker Search Task)’, ‘Korean version of the Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children(K-ABC)’ and the ‘Young Children's Sense of Self-Esteem Inventory’. The collected data were analyzed through SPSS 18.0 and AMOS 18.0 program. Pearson’s correlation and structural equation model analysis were used to analyze the data. Findings are as follows. First, there were positive correlations between young children’s theory of mind and hot executive function, cognitive ability and self-esteem. Second, cognitive ability directly affected disposition toward theory of mind. Hot Executive Function partially mediated the effects of self-esteem toward theory of mind.
