유아 자기조절력 관련 변인에 대한 메타분석: 국내 학술지를 중심으로 = Meta analysis of factors related to self regulation in young children: A focus on domestic academic journals

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study aimed to analyze the effect sizes of variables related to self-regulation in young children based on domestic academic papers. The meta-analysis was conducted using the metafor package in the R programming language. Seventy two studies were examined, encompassing 168 research subjects. Publication errors were verified, and the correlation coefficients of the studies were categorized into static and dynamic variables. The overall and subgroup mean effect sizes were then analyzed. The overall effect size (ESr) for static variables related to young children’s self-regulation was found to be 0.48, indicating a moderate effect size. Within the static variables, child characteristics such as sociability and basic life habits showed moderate effect sizes. Among parental characteristics, the mother’s variables demonstrated a moderate effect size. For teacher characteristics, the teacher-child relationship exhibited a moderate effect size. In contrast, the overall effect size for dynamic variables (ESr) was -0.27, indicating a small effect size. Among dynamic variables, child characteristics showed a moderate effect size in relation to problem behavior, while among parental characteristics, the mother’s variables exhibited a small effect size. This study underscores the importance of young children’s self-regulation development within their social context, emphasizing the provision of comprehensive information on variables related to self-regulation.
