메뉴The purpose of this study is to explore middle school students' perception of peer relationship competence by concept mapping and to find out the importance of each statement describing peer relationship competence and their own level of competence. For this, 18 students solicited, gathered and analyzed statements that 160 middle school students' participated and wrote and then did multidimensional scaling and hierarchical cluster analysis. In addition, 156 students rated the importance of each describing peer relationship competence and their own level of competence. Results were as follows: First, 79 statements of peer relationship competence were solicited and as a result of concept mapping peer relationship competence were categorized as ‘emotional characteristic’, ‘enterprising’, ‘group harmony’, ‘social skill’, ‘material factor’, ‘physical factor’ and ‘external strong force’. Second, except for ‘group harmony’ in all categories, importance of peer relationship competence and middle school students' level of competence showed no significant differences. To compare with the precedent study about high school students, they consider external categories as a factor of peer relationship competence, but high school students considered internal categories divided into relationship formation and promotion as a factor of peer relationship competence. As this study explored middle school students' peer relationship competence in 7 categories, it suggested that program for middle school students who are having trouble with peer relationship and measurement scale considered characteristic of middle school students' peer relationship should be developed.
This study was designed to examine the influences of changes in children's knowledge on prior knowledge. First graders recalled a series, if stories was examine as a function of personal knowledge about the main story character. Children's knowledge about the protagonist was manipulated prior to presentation of the stories, and the impressions on story were examined. A change in some of the children's impressions was then promoted, and the impact of this second knowledge manipulation on recall of previously heard stories was evaluated. This experiment was designed by two between factors(knowledge manipulation 1, 2) and one within factors(sessions). The results were analyzed using a repeated measure ANOVA. The results indicated that children's story recall was affected by second knowledge. Children revised their story reports in ways that were consistent with their newly acquired impressions.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the mediating effects of cognitive factor, which were somato-sensory amplification, somatic attribution and self-focused attention, on the relationships between female adolescent's depression and somatization. The subjects of this study were 544 students in the 1st and 2nd grade in high schools located in Gwangju.
