다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The research is to find out how the temperament and the playfulness of a child are related to the adjustment to the educational institute for young children.

The topics are classified like followings according to the purpose of the research.
1. Do the background elements (sex, age, birth order, mother's state of employment, level of living) influence the temperament, the playfulness and the adjustment?
2. How much do the temperament and the playfulness of a child influence the adjustment?
2-1) What relationship does the temperament of a child have with the adjustment?
2-2) What relationship does the playfulness of a child have with the adjustment?
334 children from the age of three to five attending one of kindergartens, two in Cheongjusi, ChungCheongbuk-do and two other kindergartens in Jeonjusi, Jeollabuk-do were chosen as the subjects.
Three measurement devices are used in the research.
First, in order to rate the temperaments of children, the researcher referred to Jeong Youngmi's adaptation and revision of 'Colorado Childhood Temperament Inventory(CCTI)', which was developed by Plomin and Row(1977) and revised by Jewsuwan Luster and Kostelnik(1992) by combining nine kinds of temperamental characteristics developed by Thomas and Chess with three kinds of temperamental dimensions by Buss and Plomin(1975).
Second, to rate the playfulness of children, the researcher made use of 'Children's Playfulness Scale: CPS)' produced by Barnett(190, 1991) based on the playfulness of Liberman(1965), which Kim Yeonghee adapted, revised and supplemented (1995).
Finally, to rate the adjustment, the researcher used 'The Preschool Adjustment Questionnaire: PAQ) developed Jewsuwan and others(1993).
The results of the research are as followings.
First, in terms of In terms of mother's state of employment, the children whose mother works are ranked higher than the opposite case and there is a statistically significant difference, in which F-value is 7.36 and P-value is .007, with significance level being .05.
In the research in which the statistical significance was measured with the significance level being set to be .05, the result shows a significant difference, F-value being 5.22 and P-value being .006.
In the research into the adjustment according to sex, which is one of the background elements of a child, girls shows a higher figures than boys. At the result of testing statistical significance, with significance level being set .05, F-value was 5.48 and P-value was .020, which represents a significant difference. In terms of age, 5 year-old children come first followed by 4 and 3. The result of testing statistical significance shows that significance level being set .05, F-value was 7.91 and P-value was .000, which represents a significant difference. In terms of age, 5 year-old children come first followed by 4 and 3. The result of testing statistical significance shows that significance level being set .05. The children whose mother works showed higher adaptability and at the result of testing the statistical significance, with significance level being .05, F-value is 9.96 and P-value is .002, which represent a significant difference.
Second, according to the standardized coefficient representing the relative contribution of independent variables, what influences most on the adaptability to kindergartens are the social self-motivation and expression of pleasure, which are the subfactors of the playfulness, followed by emotionality, sociality and conciliable extent which are subfactors of temperament; and cognitive self-motivation, which is a subfactor of the playfulness.
Third, the total score of temperament represents statistically insignificant correlation with the adjustment.
Fourth, The physical self-motivation, a subfactor of the playfulness shows a statistically significant positive relationship with the adaptability.(r=.451, p=.000). So do the social self-motivation.(r=.714, p=.000), cognitive self-motivation(r=.603, p=.000), the expression of pleasure(r=.686, p=.000, and sense of humor(r=.545, p=.000). That is to say, the playfulness and the adjustment have a statistically significant correlations
