Abstract
This investigation studied both the direct and indirect effects of children's emotional intelligence,mother-child interactions and mother-teacher partnerships on peer victimization. The subjects were agedfrom 4 to 5 years old and their mother and teachers were attending private and public child day carecenters in the Seoul or Kyeongki-do areas. The data was collected by questionnaire and analyzed. Theresults indicated there were significant impacts in terms of the direct effects of children's emotionalintelligence on peer victimization. However, children's emotional intelligence did not have an indirect effecton peer victimization through mother-teacher partnerships. Significant direct impacts of mother-childinteractions on peer victimization were found. Additionally, mother-child interactions were observed to havean indirect effect on peer victimization through mother-teacher partnerships. The damage inflicted uponinfants by peer victimization may be mitigated by early screening and intervention programs and it ishoped these results may guide the development of such preventive materials.
