취학전 일반아동과 말소리장애 아동의 내면적 특성과 정서행동 비교

Comparison of Internal Characteristics and Emotional Behavior of Children with Speech Sound Disorder with General Preschoolers

본 연구는 일반 아동과 말소리장애 아동의 내면적 특성과 정서행동을 비교하여 살펴보고자 하였다. 연구 대상은 취학전 일반아동 20명, 말소리장애 아동 20명을 대상으로 하였으며, 아동의 내면적 특성을 살펴보기 위해 자아존중감과 자아효능감, 의사소통태도를 아동에게 직접 실시하였고, 정서행동을 살펴보기 위해 내재화․외현화된 문제행동을 부모에게 실시하였다. 연구 결과 첫째, 일반아동이 말소리장애 아동보다 자아존중감과 자기효능감이 높았으며, 의사소통태도는 유의미하게 낮았다. 둘째, 내재화․외현화 문제행동은 일반아동이 말소리장애 아동보다 유의미하게 낮았다. 셋째, 내재화 문제행동의 하위 영역을 살펴보면 일반아동이 말소리장애 아동보다 정서적 반응성과 위축이 낮았다. 외현화 문제행동은 말소리장애 아동이 공격행동이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과로 발달과정에 있는 아동에게 올바른 사회적 관계를 형성할 수 있도록 적절한 교육과 환경을 제공할 필요가 있을 것이다.

The purpose of this study is to compare and examine the internal characteristics and emotional behaviors of children with speech sound disorder and general children. The subjects of this study were 20 preschool children and 20 children with speech sound disorder. In order to examine the internal characteristics of the child, self-esteem, self-efficacy, and communication attitude were directly performed on the child, and internalized problem behavior and externalized problem behavior were performed on the parents to examine emotional behavior. As a result of the study, first, the self-esteem and self-efficacy of the general children were higher than the children with speech sound disorder, and the communication attitude was significantly lower. Second, internalization/externalization problem behaviors were significantly lower in general children than in children with speech sound disorder. Third, looking at the subdomains of internalization problem behavior, the emotional reactivity and atrophy of general children were lower than those of children with speech sound disorder. For externalizing problem behaviors, it was found that children with speech sound disorder had higher aggressive behaviors. As a result of these studies, it will be necessary to provide appropriate education and environment so that children in the developmental process can form proper social relationships.
