The subjects of survey research consisted of 228 preschool chilrens(147 boys and 136 girls aged from 3- to 7-year-old) drawn from five Child Care Centers in Chung-Ju. Data were analyzed by the frequency, percentages, Cronbach a coefficient, F-test, Tukey post-hoc test, and Pearson correlation using SAS program. The results were as followings: ADHD was highly correlated with externalized problem behaviors such as oppositional, immatural, and aggressive behaviors. It also was significantly associated with internalized problem behavior such as emotional instability. Correlations between ADHD and other problem behaviors were from .14 through .63. There were significant differences in problem behaviors across situation. Among groups, ADHD-School group was more likely to link to problem behaviors than other groups. Children of pervasive ADHD groups were more likely to have externalized behaviors than other groups.
