다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study examined teacher and child perceptions about teacher attitude and child behavior problems with children who were identified as being at risk for behavior problems by their homeroom teachers. By comparing the teacher and child perceptions regarding each other's attitudes and behaviors and examining the nature and extent of their relationship, the present study proposed to investigate the nature of teacher and child perceptions. It also aimed to exam ine whether perceptual gap in the teacher-child relationship may be a potential risk factor for child behavior problems. A total of 239 subjects(N=239) including 172 children (n=I72) in the 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th grade and their homeroom teachers (n=67) participated in the study. Findings indicated that teacher and child perceptions about teacher attitude and child behavior problems showed statistically significant differences, Age specific findings suggested that the interpersonal perceptions are moderated by individual characteristics. Teacher and child reports of the child behavior problems (externalized & internalized behavior problems and overall emotional symptoms) also showed statistically significant differences while the relationship between child reports of teacher attitude and the child behavior problems did not. The greater the difference in the child and teacher perception regarding teacher attitude, the more increased were the child emotional symptoms. Gender and age specific findings added to the complexity of the nature of perceived child behavior problems and its relationship with perceived teacher attitude.
