The purposes of this study were to investigate the state of elementary school pupil's attachment behaviors to entertainers and to identify the constructive factors and related variables about it. For these purposes, two investigations were designed and carried out. One is to investigate the state, the other is to identify the factors and related variables.
The subjects were 1034(4th grade 335, 5th grade 354, and 6th grade 345: male 545, and female 489) in investigation Ⅰ and 1122(4th grade 359, 5th grade 391, and 6th grade 372; male 587, and female 535) in investigation Ⅱ. They were sampled randomly from 13 elementary schools in Kyung-Nam and Pusan. The measurement instruments were the one in odor to find the state of the psychological attachment and attachment behaviors to entertainers in investigation Ⅰ, and the one of personal variables(academic achievement, home economic statues, relationships with their father, mother, and friends), psychological variavles(the scale of sensation seeking, extroversion, conformity, self-esteem, and stress), and the attachment behavior scale to entertainers in investigation Ⅱ. The data of this study were analyzed using frequency analysis, ratio, factor analysis ANOVA, and regression analysis by SPSS 11.0 for windows.
The major results of this study were as follows:
First, most of pupils in elementary school like the entertainers. And the female prefer the entertainers more than the male. But there is not difference with the grades and the localities.
Second, elementary school pupils prefer mail entertainers rather than female entertainers and prefer singers above others more specially.
Third, elementary school pupils like the entertainers to fulfill their desires of superficial charm and enjoyment.
Fourth, the best attachment behavior to entertainers of elementary school pupils is to imitate a entertainers' dance, song, and performance. And the overall tendency of the attachment behaviors to entertainers is that the behaviors reflected the simple interest are more than the behaviors reflected the deep addiction.
Fifth, the constructive factors of the attachment behaviors to entertainers in elementary school pupils are two: expression of interest and confiscation. 'Expression of interest' is constructed with behaviors such as imitating the entertainers, gathering information about entertainers, watching TV, etc. And 'confiscation' is constructed with behaviors such as habitual attachment behavior, tolerative attachment behavior, illusion, etc.
Finally, the related variables to 'expression of interest' are gender, grade sensation seeking, extroversion, conformity, and stress. The related variables to 'confiscation' are gender, academic achievement, home economic statues, the relationship with their father and mother, sensation seeking, conformity, and stress. And the related variables to the whole 'attachment behavior' are gender, academic achievement, sensation seeking conformity, and stress.
