Abstract

This study was conducted to understand the relationship between elementary students' beliefs supporting aggression, aggression and self-esteem. In addition, we aimed to provide basic data for controlling the aggression of children and developing effective coping strategies. This study population consisted of 184 elementary school students. Data were analyzed using SPSS 24.0 program. As a result, the aggression of elementary school students showed a significant positive correlation with beliefs supporting aggression(r=.39, p<.001) and a significant negative correlation with self-esteem(r=-.46, p<.001). In addition, Results of the hierarchical regression analysis revealed that self-esteem has the mediating effect on the relationship between beliefs supporting aggression and aggression(${\beta}=.26$, p<.001). In other words, the higher the beliefs supporting aggression, the higher the aggression, and self-esteem means to act as a mediating effect in the relationship between them. Therefore, when arranging an intervention plan to control the aggression of elementary school students, it is necessary to find strategies to control the beliefs spporting aggression and increase self-esteem.

본 연구는 초등학생의 공격신념, 자아존중감, 공격성을 확인하고 관련성을 분석하여 아동의 공격성을 조절하고 효과적인 대처전략을 개발하기 위한 기초자료를 제공하기 위해 수행되었다. 본 연구의 대상자는 D시와 C도에 거주하는 초등학교 5, 6학년 학생 184명이었다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS 24.0 통계 프로그램을 사용하여 분석하였다. 분석 결과 초등학생의 공격성은 공격신념(r=.39, p<.001)과 통계적으로 유의한 양의 상관관계를, 자아존중감(r=-.46, p<.001)과는 통계적으로 유의한 음의 상관관계가 있었다. 또한 초등학생의 공격신념은 자아존중감(${\beta}=.26$, p<.001)을 매개로 하여 공격성에 영향을 미쳤다. 즉 공격신념이 높게 되면 공격성이 높아지며, 자아존중감은 이들 간의 관계에서 매개변수로 작용함을 의미한다. 그러므로 초등학생의 공격성을 조절하기 위한 중재방안을 마련할 때 공격신념을 조절하고, 자아존중감을 높일 수 있는 전략도 함께 모색해야 한다.
