공감활동이 유아 정서조절능력과 배려행동에 미치는 영향에 대한 연구

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of sympathetic activity using picture books on children's emotional regulation ability and considerate behavior. The experiment was conducted by placing 17 people each in an experimental group and a control group. The experiment was conducted 14 times over 7 weeks, and it was verified by conducting pre- and post-tests on whether the use of picture books had an effect on infant emotional regulation and considerate behavior.
 As a result of the study, first, the effect of sympathetic activity using picture books to improve overall emotion regulation ability could be verified, but the effects of adaptive emotion regulation and negative emotion regulation, which are sub-factors, could not be verified statistically.
 Second, the effect of using the picture books on improving not only the overall considerate behavior but also the sub-factors of the considerate behaviors were statistically verified. Through this, it was verified that children's sympathetic activities using picture books have a positive effect on children's behaviors to recognize the thoughts and emotions of the other person, adjust and maintain them appropriately, and be considerate of the other person. In future research, measurement tools that can connect and measure the sub-factors of emotional regulation ability and considerate behavior more specifically are developed and need to be utilized in research.
