청각장애 형제를 둔 건청 아동의 가정 내 음악 경험과 형제 관계 인식 = Music Experiences and Perceptions of Sibling Relationships Among Hearing Children With Deaf Siblings

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study explored the characteristics of shared music experiences at home between deaf or hard-of-hearing children and their hearing siblings and examined whether differences in hearing children’s perceptions of their sibling relationships were associated with the presence of shared music experiences. Participants were 60 children with normal hearing aged 7-12 years who had a deaf or hard-of-hearing sibling, and data were collected via an online questionnaire. Descriptive data were collected and analyzed on the types of shared music activities at home and associated communication and adjustment strategies. Independent t tests were conducted to analyze differences in perceptions of sibling communication and relationships based on the presence of shared music experience. Results demonstrated that children with shared music experiences reported more positive perceptions of sibling communication and relationships (p <.05) and more frequently used compensatory communication strategies, including visual cues, gestures, and tactile signals. In addition, hearing children with music experience tended to perceive their musical preferences as similar to those of their siblings. These findings suggest that music may function as a mediating context for compensatory communication in deaf-hearing sibling relationships and provide foundational evidence for the development of family-centered music programs for deaf-hearing siblings.
