ABSTRACT

The purpose of the study was to review the current research synthesis on a total of 155 studies of problem behavior of young children with/at risk (34 studies) and without disabilities (121 studies) from 2010 to May, 2017. These studies were analyzed with trends of academic journals, participants, research method, districts/settings, research topics, and independent/dependent variables. The outcomes of research synthesis were presented as follows. First, both studies of young children with/without disabilities have been consistently published since 2010. However, studies of young children without disabilities have been published in quite different types of academic journals while studies of young children at risk/with disabilities were published in limited types of academic journals. Second, participants of the studies of young children without disabilities were mainly teachers and parents while those of young children at risk/with disabilities were mainly themselves and their teachers. Participating children were mostly preschool age in both areas of studies. Studies of young children without disabilities mainly used survey research while studies of young children at risk/with disabilities mainly used single subject design research. Districts of both studies were mostly Seoul and Kyeonggi-do. Third, topics of research studies of young children were mainly young children or their parents' variables related while these of young children at risk/with disabilities were positive behavior supports. Finally, positive behavior support was mainly used as an independent variable and problems behavior were mainly used as a dependent variable in both studies.
