초록

This study examined the effects of parenting behaviors and children's playfulness on emotional intelligence and the additional independent influence of playfulness on emotional intelligence, except for the effects of parenting behaviors. The subjects were 517 students in the 5th and 6th grades of 3 elementary schools in Seoul and Gyunggi-do. The data were analyzed by means of Pearson's correlation, simple and multiple regression, and hierarchical regression. Our findings indicated that parenting behaviors affected children`s emotional intelligence and in turn, children's playfulness affected their emotional intelligence. Moreover, the independent influence of playfulness on emotional intelligence was found to be an important factor for children in elementary school.
