Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of children’s self-perception and the emotion control strategies on a child"s peer acceptance. The participants for this study were 120 preschool children (57 boys, 63 girls) that were attending classes for four year olds at 4 daycare centers and 1 kindergarten in Seoul and Gyeong-gi province, respectively. A peer rating scale was used to assess peer acceptance (Asher et al., 1979). A Puppet Interview was employed to assess global self-esteem (Cassidy, 1988). A children"s coping strategy checklist was further used to assess emotion regulation strategies (Eisenberg et al., 1993). The data collected was analyzed by t-tests and multiple regression. The child"s self-perception and emotion regulation strategies explained significantly a child"s peer acceptance. Boys who had more positive perception of self-worth were well accepted by peers. Girls who displayed more positive coping and venting strategies were well accepted by peers.
