摘要：Social skills and behavior problems of 90 4- and 5-year-old children were analyzed by children's negative emotionalty(sadness,anger,and fear). The instrument for measurement of social skills (cooperation,self-control,assertion,and responsibility) was the Preschool Level of the Korean Version of the Social Skills Rating System(Suh,Mee _Ock,2004). Measures of behavior problems included intemalizing(anxety,immaturity,withdrawal,physical symptoms) and externalizing(hyperactivity,agression) problems. Results showed that girls were higher in negative emotionality(sadness) than boys,and 5 year olds were higher in social skills than 4-year-olds. Children with lower levels of negative emotionality were higher in social skills and lower in behavior problems than children with higher levels of negative emotionality..
