우리나라 초등학교 아동을 대상으로 한 아동행동목록표(CBQ)의 사용에 관한 연구 = The Use of the Children's Behaviour Questionnaire (CBQ) with Korean Primary School Children

국문 초록 (Abstract)

본 연구에서는 아동의 정서·행동문제를 판별하기 위해서 Rutter가 개발한 아동행동목록표를 우리나라 초등학교 아동을 대상으로 사용하여 그 결과를 다른 연구들과 비교하였다. 본 연구에서 얻어진 한국 기준점수는 12점으로 Rutter의 기준점수인 9점보다 3점이 높았으며, 한국 기준점수에 의한 정서·행동문제의 유병률은 7.0%로 Rutter의 기준점수에 의한 12,9%보다 낮았다. 우리나라 아동을 대상으로한 기준점수가 Rutter의 기준점수와 다른 것은 문화적인 관점과 차이로 설명할 수 있으며, 각 문화권의 아동에게는 그 문화에 맞는 기준점수를 적용할 필요가 있다는 것을 제안하였다.

This study was devised to use the Children's Behaviour Questionnaire (CBQ), which was developed by Rutter (1967) in order to seen children's emotional and behavioural problems, in the Korean context. The CBQ teacher's form has been widely used in many countries. However, it is important to acknowledge the problem involved in transporting methods and instruments from one culture into another culture without ensuring their applicability. Therefore, in this study, the optimal cut-off score of the CBQ for the Korean children was determined instead of Rutter's.
The cut-off score of the teacher's CBQ for the Korean children was 12. This was determined by three methods; kappa statistics, ROC analysis, and McGee and colleagues' (1983) method. This three methods yielded a consistent result. This cut-off score was different from that of Rutter's. The optimal cut-off scores can be determined by preferable and alternative criteria, which stresses the idea of the cut-off being 'optimal' in relation to other factors. Therefore they may differ from sample to sample in relation to culture.
For Korean subjects, it was desirable to apply the Korean ut-off score. The prevalence rate of emotional and behavioural problems with the cut-off score of 12 was 7%, and this falls within the ranges of prevalence rates of previous studies, 5-30%.
Emotional and behavioural problems are culturally determined in part and vary in relation to the cultural context where they appear. What is normal in a culture may be problematic in another culture, and ive versa. Thus, Korean children may show different types and prevalence rates of emotional and behavioural problems because of their own culture's customs and values.
