아동기 우정 발달과 또래동조에 관한 소고

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This article attempts to examine and discuss the development of friendship in childhood. Peer conformity and acceptance will also be discussed, with a focus on the factors which influence these phenomena.
Friendship in childhood is established during the process of self-identity formation. As children begin to build strong bonds with male and female friends, they lay the foundations for establishing and maintaining interpersonal relationships. The development of these friendships is important as it has a profound effect not only on children's life and sociality, but also on their values in general.
Peer conformity, in childhood, refers to a psychological phenomenon whereby children conform to peer group norms and values in order to obtain membership in their group and gain acceptance. A positive and amicable relationship among peers and a strong peer group membership leads to a better social life and self-image. Failure to become part of a peer group may result in a child being more likely to form a negative self-image and have trouble adjusting to society, a problem which may continue into adulthood.
There are several factors which may critically influence the development of a childhood friendship: family structures, relations with parents, socioeconomic status, number of siblings and the child's relationship with them, and birth order. The strongest determining factor in the development of close relationships with peers is the interaction between the child and his/her parents.
Peer acceptance is inextricably linked to positive interactions such as prosocial behavior, lending aids and support, providing positive reinforcement and observance of rules. On the other hand, peer rejection is closely related to negative interactions such as abusive language, physical attacks, destructive behavior and/or withdrawn behavior and negative reinforcement.
