본 연구는 유치원에 재원 중인 5세 유아의 또래지위와 정서지능과의 관계에 대해 알아보았다. 유아들의 또래지위를 측정하기 위하여 또래평정법(Asher, Singleton, Tinsly, & Hymel, 1979)을 사용하였고, 정서지능을 측정하기 위하여 만 5세용 정서지능 체크리스트(이병래, 1997)를 사용하였다. 연구 결과 첫째, 유아의 또래지위에 따라 정서지능은 유의한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다(p<.001). 둘째, 유아의 또래지위에 따라 정서지능의 하위 요소인 자기인식·표현능력은 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 셋째, 유아의 또래지위에 따라 정서지능의 하위 요소인 자기조절능력은 유의한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다(p<.001). 넷째, 유아의 또래지위에 따라 정서지능의 하위 요소인 타인인식능력은 유의한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다(p<.001). 다섯째, 유아의 또래지위에 따라 정서지능의 하위 요소인 타인조절/대인관계능력은 유의한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다(p<.001).
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships between peer status and emotional intelligence of five-year-old kindergarteners.Results of this study were as follows:First, significant difference of young children s emotional intelligence was found according to their status(p<.001). Emotional intelligence was the highest in popular children, followed by average and nonpopular children(popular children: M=123.91, average children: M=117.72, nonpopular children: M=106.20).Second, young children s ability of self perception and expression showed no significant difference according to their peer status. Third, young children s ability of self regulation showed significant difference according to their peer status(p<.001). Ability of self regulation was the highest in popular children, followed by average and nonpopular children(popular children: M=30.96, average children: M=28.37, nonpopular children: M=24.25).Fourth, young children s ability of other perception showed significant difference according to their peer status(p<.001). Ability of other perception was the highest in popular children, followed by average and nonpopular children(popular children: M=28.59, average children: M=26.97, nonpopular children: M=23.94).Fifth, young children s ability of other regulation and interpersonal relations showed significant difference according to their peer status(p<.001). Ability of other regulation and interpersonal relations was the highest in popular children, followed by average and nonpopular children(popular children: M=36.47, average children: M=34.59, nonpopular children: M=31.36).
