부모의 정서표현 수용태도와 유아기 자녀의 정서지능과의 관계

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The relationship between parent`s attitude toward children`s emotional expressiveness and children`s emotional intelligence(EI) was investigated with the Parent Attitude toward Children`s Expressiveness Scale(Saarni, 1990), and children`s EI was assessed by a teacher rating scale developed by Kim(1999). The subjects were 121 triads of 3- to 6-year-old children and their mothers and fathers. Data were analyzed by frequencies, percentiles, means, standard deviations, Cronbach`s α, two-way ANOVAs, Pearson`s correlations, and multiple regression. Results indicated differences in level of EI as a function of gender and age; differences in both mother`s and father`s attitudes toward children`s expressiveness as a function of children`s gender and age; and positive correlation between mother`s and father`s attitudes toward emotional expressiveness and children`s EI. Children`s age and parental attitude toward children`s emotional expressiveness explained 46.7% of children`s EI.
