摘要：Objective: The main purpose of this study is to investigate the differences in preschoolers’ problem behaviors according to their types of attachment. Methods: The subjects of this study were 100 children (42 boys and 58 girls) who were 4-6 years old and were attending childcare center or kindergarten in Jeonbuk J city. The attachment representation of the young children was assessed using the Attachment Story Completion Task (ASCT), which was developed by Bretherton, Ridgeway and Cassidy(1990). Preschoolers’ problem behaviors were assessed using the K-CBCL 1.5-5 (Korean Child Behavior Checklist for Ages 1-5-5). Content analysis and type classification were conducted based on various attachment coding manuals. The data were analyzed using Pearson’s correlation analysis and t/F test. Results and Conclusion: First, in the secure attachment type, nurturance/empathy, companionship, calm response to separation, and positive affection response codes were high, whereas in the avoidant attachment type, high avoidance response appeared, and in the disorganized attachment type, high bizarre negative event codes and disjointed event codes were found. Second, atypical event scores were positively correlated with aggressive behavior, the externalization of behavior problems, and oppositional defiant behavior problem. Third, it was found that the subscales (aggression and oppositional defiant behavior problem) of the problem behaviors differ according to the attachment type of the preschoolers. In partivular, the insecure-disorganized attachment type showed significantly higher problem behavior scores than did the other attachment types (secure and, avoidant attachment types). This result supports the theory of a relationship between secure attachment and the social-emotional development of preschoolers, and highlights the need for attention to and involvement with preschoolers of the insecure-disorganized attachment type.
