다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of children's language ability on children's peer status. The study subjects established according to the above aim were as follows.
1. Are there any differences in young children's peer competence according to their empathic ability?
2. Are there any differences in young children's peer competence according to their language expression?
3. Are there the interaction effect of language expression and empathic ability to children's peer competence?
The subjects of this study were 136 children in five-age class in the kindergarten.
To measure children’s empathic ability, the test of empathic ability for teachers used by Yeon Jin Yong(1987) which was revised from Bryant(1982) was used to estimate the children’s empathic ability. Preschool Receptive-Express Language Scale(PRES, Kim Young-Tae Seoung Tae-Je·Lee Yoon-Kyoung, 2003) was selected to measure young children's language ablility. Also, to measure children's peer competence used Park Ji Hee, Park Eon Hae(2001)‘s peer competence scale. The data was analyzed with M, SD, t-test, two-way-ANOVA.
The findings of this study were as follows.
First, there are significant differences of peer competence between lower ability of empathic and higher ability of empathic. Children classified as lower ability of empathic were lower peer competence than children classified as higher ability of empathic.
Second, there are significant differences of peer competence between lower ability of language expression and higher ability of language expression and Children classified as higher ability of language expression were higher peer competence. Than children classified as higher ability of language expression.
