The Relationship Between Problem Behaviors And Peer Acceptance Of Children And Its Intervention Study

Problem behavior is an unadapted phenomenon in the social development of children, which could affect children's well-estabilshment and the development of peer relationships.In rencent years,more and more researches were focused on the influence of children's problem behaviors. The purpose of this study were as follows:1.To explore the trend of problem behaviors and discusssed that whether there were gender differences in children's problem behaviors;2.To explore the relationship between problem behaviors and peer acceceptance by using cross-lagged regression analyses;3.To design and implementatin of"children social skills training program"to explore whether the intervention of children could reduce the problem behaviors effctivelyd,and to discuss the effect of inventin on peer acceptance.Children fromed five kindergarens in Handan,Shijiazhuang.After stratified cluster sampling,there were 400 effective participants of 379,including 65 children on the intervention study.Through statistical analysis, the study concluded that:1.There were no grade differences in problem behaviors of children, only in the hyperactivity index of the dimension there were significant grade differences.2 There were significant gender differences in the problem behaviors of chilrdren,the total and four sub-dimensions scores of boys were significantly higher than girls.3.The problem behaviors were difference at different levels of acceptance. The children who got low levels of peer acceptance had significant higher scored in problem behaviors than the chlidren who got high levels of peer acceptance,there were no significant difference between middle and high levels of peer acceptance.4.Children's problem behaviors were negatively related to peer acceptance ,the higher the score in problem behaviors, the lower level of peer acceptance.5. The cross-regression analysis showed that hyperactivity index and inattention - passive behavior could significantly negatively predict children's peer acceptance,this showed that problem behaviors may lead to poor peer relations.6.The impact that problem behaviors had on peer acceptance had gender differences:for boys ,the hyperactivity index could significantly negatively predict children's peer acceptance;but for girls,inattention-passive behavior and hyperactivity could significantly negatively predict children's peer acceptance.7.The "children social skills training programs" were effective in reducing children's problem behavior and could effectively improve the level of children's peer acceptance.
