The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of young children`s temperament, emotional intelligence, social behavior and mother`s personality traits, and management strategy of peer relations on peer acceptance. Subjects were 412 5-years-old children and their mothers in Busan. The children responded to the Peer Nomination Inventory to assess peer acceptance and their teachers completed the EAS(Emotionality, Activity, Sociability), to assess the emotional intelligence and social behavior of the children. Mothers completed Eysenck Personality Questionnaire for personality traits and the Parental Involvement Checklist. Data was analyzed with descriptive statistics, Pearson`s correlation, and simple and multiple regression analyses. The results showed that emotional intelligence of young children had a relatively significant effect on peer acceptance, followed by personality traits of mother`s extraversion, the temperament of activity, and the management strategy of mediation-supervision. In conclusion, young children and their mother`s variables have a complex, rather than simple, effect on peer acceptance of the children. |
