다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The object of this paper is to investigate the relation among the emotionality, emotion regulation, and peer popularity of children. For this purpose, 63 children of average age 66 month attending a kindergarten and a day-care center were selected at random. The emotionality was measured using parent-ratings on the Child Behavior Questionnaire(CBQ). The emotion regulation was measured using teacher-ratings on the Copying Behavior Questionnaire. The peer popularity was measured using Peer Popularity Measurement Instrument. The result shows that some subfactors of emotionality such as sadness scale and inhibited control scale have significant positive relation with the peer popularity. The result also shows that there is a significant relation between the emotion regulation and the peer popularity. More specifically, the constructive copying style has been found to have a significant positive relation with the peer popularity, whereas the aggressive copying behavior has been found to have a significant negative relation with the popularity among peers. This result suggests that the peer popularity which is one of the important measures on children"s social competence is highly related to the emotion regulation behavior of children as well as their emotionality.
