ABSTRACT

Rejection sensitivity is a disposition that a person readily perceive and overact to social rejection with anxiety and anger. Preliminary surveys and a main study was done to select rejective situations for measuring Korean children's rejection sensitivity. Data were gathered from 5th to 6th 355 graders attending at an elementary school in Ulsan city. In preliminary survey using twelve rejective situations in Downey's(1998) Children's Rejection Sensitivity Questionnaire(CRSQ), it was found that most of Korean children would not expect rejection in several situations of CRSQ. Additional thirteen rejective situations for Korean children were constructed based on small group discussions about children's stressful life events. In main study, among 25 situations made up from CRSQ and preliminary survey, twelve rejective situations were selected that discriminated high rejection-sensitivity group from low rejection-sensitivity group based on rejection-relevant emotion and anticipated rejection. Two factors were found on selected 12 situations by factor analysis.
