외톨이 초등학생의 심리적 특성 연구 = Psychological Characteristics of Elementary School Students with Poor Peer Relationships

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Peer relationships in childhood are considered to have a great influence on the relationship development and personal adjustment in later life. In the present study, the current authors examined psychological characteristics of elementary school students with poor peer relationships. Participants were 168 elementary school students (75 boys, 93 girls). Peer relationships of students were assessed using the Isolated Peer Relationship Inventory (IPRI; Lee et al., 2000). Students with IPRI scores of upper 25% were classified as an Isolated group , whereas those with IPRI scores of lower 25% were classified as a Non-isolated group. Psychological characteristics were measured by the Beck Youth Inventory of Emotional and Social Impairment (Beck, 2001), and aggression scale-a subscale of Child Behavior Check List(CBCL; Oh et al., 1997). Results indicated that there were no differences in psychological characteristics such as anxiety, depression, anger, disruptive behavior, and aggression between the Isolated groups and Non-isolated groups. A particular notice was that the Non-isolated groups had higher self-esteem than the Isolated group.
