摘要:Contemporaneous and longitudinal predictive relations between three blocks of predictors and measures of children's social adjustment (social competence,internalizing and externalizing behaviour) after the school entry were investigated.The first block of predictors captures expressions of child personality dimensions as perceived by pre-school teachers/assistant school teachers,the second block contains parental education and self-evaluations of parenting in mothers and fathers of the target children,and the third block refers to children's pre-school attendance prior to school entry.Using the Social Competence and Behavior Evaluation Scale,school teachers reported on firstgraders' social adjustment.The Inventory of Child Individual Differences was employed to assess personality when the target children were 3,4,5,and 6 years old,while at ages 3 and 6 their parents filled-in the Family Environment Questionnaire to provide self-reports on parenting.The blocks of predictors jointly explain a relatively large portion of variance in firstgraders' social adjustment both contemporaneously and longitudinally.Personality characteristics significantly predict all of the criteria measures,while family environment and pre-school attendance explain additional variance in internalizing behaviour (depressive,anxious,isolated,and dependent behaviour),over and above the contribution of personality.Perceptions of children's conscientiousness-openness at the beginning of the school year as well as through early childhood and of their agreeableness in preschool predict teacher ratings of the firstgraders' social competence.Externalizing behaviour (angry,aggressive,egotistical and oppositional behaviour) was consistently predicted by low conscientiousness-openness,extraversion-emotional stability,and low agreeableness.Finally,low conscientiousness-openness in school,low extraversion-emotional stability in preschool,maternal inefficient control of the firstgraders' behaviour,low education of the father and absence of children's previous pre-school experience predicted internalizing behaviour.
其他摘要:Preučevali sva sočasne in vzdolžne napovedne zveze med tremi sklopi napovednikov in merami socialnega prilagajanja (socialno kompetentnostjo,vedenjem ponotranjenja in vedenjem pozunanjenja) otrok po vstopu v šolo.Prvi sklop napovednikov zajema izraznost osebnostnih dimenzij,kot so jo pri otrocih zaznale vzgojiteljice v vrtcu in v šoli,drugi sklop sestavljajo raven izobrazbe in samoocene značilnosti starševstva,ki so jih podali mame in očeti ciljnih otrok,tretji pa otrokovo obiskovanje vrtca.O socialnem prilagajanju prvošolcev so poročale učiteljice na vprašalniku Socialno vedenje otrok.Ocene osebnostnih značilnosti so bile zbrane z Vprašalnikom individualnih razlik med otroki,ko so bili ciljni otroci stari tri,štiri,pet in šest let,njihovi starši pa so pri Vprašalniku o družinskem okolju ocenili značilnosti svojega starševstva,ko so bili otroci stari tri in šest let.Sklopi napovednikov skupno pojasnijo razmeroma visok odstotek variance v socialnem prilagajanju prvošolcev,tako sočasno kot tudi vzdolžno.Osebnostne značilnosti otrok pomembno napovedujejo vse kriterijske mere,družinsko okolje in obiskovanje vrtca pa pojasnita dodatno varianco v vedenju ponotranjenja (potrtost,anksioznost,osamljenost,odvisnost) poleg tiste,ki jo napove že osebnost otrok.Socialno kompetentnost prvošolcev napovedujeta vestnost-odprtost po vstopu v šolo in v zgodnjem otroštvu ter sprejemljivost v vrtcu.Vedenje pozunanjenja (jeza,agresivnost,egoizem in nasprotovalnost) dosledno napovedujejo nizka vestnost-odprtost,ekstravertnost-čustvena stabilnost in nizka sprejemljivost,vedenje ponotranjenja pa nizka vestnost-odprtost v šoli,nizka ekstravertnost-čustvena stabilnost v vrtcu,neučinkovit nadzor mam v odnosu do prvošolcev,nizka izobrazba očetov in nevključenost otrok v vrtec.
