This study sampled the survey from 430 male and female children in three elementary schools in Seoul and Kyonggi Do, and the cases of 365 children was used as a research data, apart from the cases of children who live with either one of their parents or without both.

The IPPA (Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment), which was made by Armsden and Greenberg, has been used for measurement for child attachment, and the IPPA-R has been used, which was modified with attachment of parents detached. In Korea, Ok Jung has used it changed, and Yoon So Young has used a gauge modified partly to level of 12 and 13-year-old children. To measure the child depression propensity, Childrens Depression Inventory b yKovacs has been used, which is self-report type, and Korean CDI by Jo Soo Chul and Lee Young Sik, has been used, which was developed to be suited to Korean children.
The frequency and percentage for collected data have been yielded by using SPSS/PC WIN program, and Cronbachs was calculated to verify the reliability of the measurement tools. The correlation analysis has been carried out to see the relationship between attachment with parents and child depression, and multiple regression analysis has been carried out to the impact. Moreover, it has been also carried out to examine the aspects according to sex of the impact which attachment with parents may have.

The study results are as follows.
First, we took a look at the relationship between attachment and depression of child for his or her father and mother. All the attachment with father and mother showed generally irrelevant correlation with depression of the child, and thus the child has a good communication with his or her parents, constructs the reliance, and the less alienation one feels, the lower depression propensity one has. In addition, the study revealed that the attachment for father and mother have influence on the depression of the child. In particular, this also revealed that, for a father, feeling less alienation from him and constructing the reliance with the child for a mother is of importance. By means of it, father and mother have influence on the healthy sentiment of the child to some extent with their own roles.
Second, while the attachment of father and mother have influence on their of their child according to their sex, the less alienation male child feels and the more he forms the reliance with his mother, the lower depression propensity he has, and the higher reliance the female child has with her father and mother, the more healthy sentiment she has.

This study indicates that the alienation and reliance from father and reliance with mother can have much impact on child depression. The result suggests how much the parents play a critical role in healthy sentiment of their children.

Spitz의 아동 우울에 관한 보고를 시초로 지금껏 아동기 우울에 대하여
다양한 연구가 이루어져오고 있으며, 현대 사회에 이르러 “우울”이란 단
어는 성인뿐만 아니라 아동에게서도 낯설지 않게 되었다.
사회가 다변화되고 산업화가 되면서 점점 더 아동이 얼굴을 마주보고 있
을 수 있는 시간이 줄어들고 있다. 그러다 보니 부모와 아동 사이에는 어
느 새 거리감이 생겨 편안한 의사소통이 이루어지기 어렵고 아동은 부모
에게 소외감을 느끼게 되기 쉽다. 이에 부․모와의 관계를 통해 아동의
우울을 봄으로써 아동의 발달이 보다 잘 이루어질 수 있도록 돕고자 하는
데 본 연구의 의의가 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 부와 모에 대한 아동의
애착이 우울에 미치는 영향을 알아보고, 그 영향력의 성별에 따른 양상을
살펴보고자 한다.
