Abstract

The purpose of the study is to pursue a preliminary study for standardization of four to six years old questionnaires of social emotional child monitoring system, the Korean Ages and Stages Questionnaires: Social-Emotional 2. Data were collected and analyzed from 717 parents of young children aged 42 to 78 months in Seoul and Gyeonggi province. As a result of the study, first, the mean of the K-ASQ:SE 2 by questionnaires was 30.83 for 48 months and 23.12 for 60 months. The level of item fit was appropriate, and correlation between the total and individual item was positive signification. There was significant negative relationship with the SEAM and the revised K-ASQ, as the concurrent validity. Cutoff scores based on the 1.5SD, and 2SD was determined, and discriminate validity was confirmed based on these cutoffs. Second, as a result of reliability analysis, Cronbach alpha’s coefficient was found to be .819 for 48 months and .679 for 60 months. Interrater reliability between parents and teachers was 92.2% for 48 months and 80.0% for 60 months based on the 2SD cutoffs.
