Abstract

The purpose of this study was (1) to investigate 3||| 5-year-old children’s peer problem solving ability andtheir event representation according to their age and gender||| and (2) to investigate the effects of eventrepresentation upon peer problem solving ability. The participants for this study consisted of 98 children|||aged 3- and 5-year-olds from child-care centers in Seoul||| Korea. Each child participated in the eventrepresentation test and peer problem solving test through the use of pictures. Statistical methods usedfor data analysis were frequencies||| percentiles||| means||| standard deviations||| t-tests||| ANOVAs||| Pearson’scorrelations and hierarchical regression. The major findings were as follows. First||| there was a significantdifference in children’s peer problem solving ability depending on their age. Second||| there was asignificant difference in children’s event representation according to their age. Third||| the children’s eventrepresentation was positively related to peer problem solving ability||| and the results of hierarchical multipleregression suggested that peer problem solving ability had an strong effect upon experienced eventrecognition. These findings suggest that experienced event representation is the most strongly influencingfactor||| therefore||| activities using event representation can help children’s peer problem solving abilities.
