The goal of this study was to examine the reciprocal longitudinal relationships between executive dysfunction and happiness for Korean children. We used data from the Panel Study of Korean Children (PSKC) conducted by the Korean Institute of Child Care and Education. A total of 1240 valid responses from the first to third grade in elementary school were analyzed using autoregressive crossed-lagged modeling. As a result, executive dysfunction and happiness were found to have reciprocal influences over the three time points. We also found that the cross-lagged effects of executive dysfunction and happiness were stronger than those of happiness on executive dysfunction. Clinical implications and limitations were discussed.

From a pilot GWAS, seven MAP2K6 (MEK6) SNPs were significantly associated with resting metabolic rate (RMR) in obese children aged 8–9 years. The aim of this study was to investigate how RMR-linked MEK6 variation affected obesity in Korean children. With the follow-up students (77.9%) in the 3-year panel study, the changes of the variables associated with obesity (such as anthropometrics, blood biochemistry, and dietary intake) were collected. After the MEK6 SNPs were screened by Affymetrix Genome-Wide Human SNP array 6.0, the genotyping of the seven MEK6 SNPs was performed via SNaPshot assay. As the prevalence of obesity (≥85th percentile) increased from 19.4% to 25.5%, the rates of change of the variables RMR, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), systolic blood pressure (SBP), and dietary intake (energy and carbohydrate intakes) increased. The rate of overweight/obesity was higher in all mutant alleles of the seven MEK6 SNPs than it was in the matched children without mutant alleles. However, over the 3-year study period, RMRs were only significantly increased by the mutants of two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), rs996229 and rs756942, mainly related to male overweight/obesity as both WC and SBP levels increased. In the mutants of two of the SNPs, the odds ratio of overweight/obesity risk was six times higher in the highest tercile of fat intake and SBP than those of the lowest tercile. For personalized medicine to prevent pediatric obesity, SBP, WC, and dietary fat intake should be observed, particularly if boys have mutants of MEK6 SNPs, rs9916229, or rs756942.

Background/Objectives: This study used data mining technique to explore the potential factors affecting the peer attachment of South Korean female students.Methods/Statistical analysis: This study analyzed 2009 9th grade female students, who attended Panel Study on Korean Children in 2016. Peer attachment was defined as a dependent variable. The explanatory variables included gender, academic achievement satisfaction, subjective household economy level, parent-child dialogue frequency, subjective health status, depression symptom, self-esteem, subjective life satisfaction, and mobile phone dependence. The predictors of peer attachment were analyzed by using back propagation neural network (BPN).Findings: Analysis results showed that depression, self-esteem, dialogue level between parent and child regarding school life, subjective health condition were highly related to the peer attachment of female students.Improvements/Applications: It is required to develop a customized educational program to form a successful social relationship between adolescent female students.

The purpose of this study was to (1) classify subgroups of father-child interaction based on the type of interaction activity (routine, learning, and play interaction), (2) examine the effects of socio-demographic factors, father’s psycho-emotional factors, and maternal factors on the different types of father-child interaction groups, and (3) analyze differences in socio-emotional development of first graders in elementary school according to the type of father-child interaction. Analysis of 1,469 families (mothers, fathers, and children) was conducted using latent profile analysis (research question 1), complex sample multinomial logistic regression (RQ 2), and complex sample general linear modeling (RQ 3). Samples originated from the eighth wave (2015) of the Panel Study on Korean Children (PSKC). The main results were as follows. First, three distinct latent groups of father-child interaction based on the quantitative level of daily interaction were found: high-interaction (HI, 7.85%), medium-interaction (MI, 51.73%), and low-interaction (LI, 40.42%). Second, factors such as father’s happiness, positive evaluation of work-family balance, and mother-child interaction level were significant correlates for the classification of father-child interaction. Third, first graders in the HI group showed the highest levels of self-esteem in comparison to the other two groups and reported a higher level of subjective happiness in comparison to the LI group. These results bring to attention the importance of father-child interaction affecting the outcomes of children’s socio-emotional development.
