Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate factors predicting social competence of school-aged children by parents’ drinking problem, emotional awareness and expression, and social support. Methods: The participants were 558 elementary school students who were in the 5th grade. Data were collected by structured questionnaires from September 17 to October 2 2013, and analyzed using descriptive statistics, χ2-test, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficients, and Stepwise multiple regression analysis with the SPSS PC+ 21.0 program. Results: Social competence showed a correlation with emotional awareness and expression, friend support, family support, and teacher support. But parents’ drinking problem level was showed a negative correlation with social competence. In school-aged children, variables that predicted social competence were friend support(β=.58, p<.001), teacher support(β=.14, p<.001), best friend(β=.14, p<.001), parents’ drinking problem(β=-.10, p<.001), academic achievement(β=.10, p<.001), and emotional awareness(β=.09, p=.002) (F=182.05, p<.001, Adj R2=66%). Conclusion: These results emphasize the importance of focusing on multiple predictors of school-aged children's social competence and the crucial role that peers and teachers' support in the development of social competence. Further, interventions aimed at improving peers and teachers-support and children’s emotional awareness in alcoholic families may be most beneficial in the school-aged period.
