정서발달의 관점에서 본 우리나라의 전통태교: 태교신기를 중심으로

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to analyse the principles and methods of Taegyo-Singi with regard to emotionand to review basic informations on Taegyo programs for promoting prenatal development. Taegyo-Singi wasanalyzed as follows. First, the contents of Taegyo-Singi were classified into principles and methods of Taegyo . Second, the domains of emotion were categorized into emotional perception, emotional expression, emotionalunderstanding, and emotional regulation based on the classification of Mayer and Salovey, and Moon. Third,the contents of Taegyo-Singi were classified into the four domains of emotion. Finally, the reliability andvalidity of the classification were obtained through inter-rater agreement and analysis of content validity. Theresults indicated that first, the principles of Taegyo presuppose parental influence on temperament formation,and that the emotional states of the mother in the prenatal and prepregnancy period is the most influentialvariable in a child’s temperament formation. Second, the methods of Taegyo presuppose that the human mindinteracts with their behavior. Therefore, through emotional support of family members, ‘jon-sim (the serenemind)’ and ‘chung-sim (the mind from rectitude)’ are the key methods of Taegyo . This means that the Koreantradition of Taegyo focused on the emotional domain of development, especially emotional regulation. Thiscoincides with the emotion-focused temperament theory that individual differences in temperament reflectindividual differences in emotion.
