Three anger expression modes or methods such as anger-in, anger-out, and anger-control are treated as three dependent variables in the State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory (STAXI), which is to be comparatively measured at pretest and posttest. A total of 9 collage group art therapy were given, and behavioral changes were observed and analyzed. Study subjects are four independent-living rehabilitation teachers working at the living facilities of mental retardation in P-city. The results from the study are as follows. First, collage group art therapy has positive effects on all three anger expression modes which are anger-in, anger-out, and anger-control.

This research was set to examine the positive effects that the green music and natural music would give to the cerebral palsied children in improving self-reliant functional activities and enhancing emotional intelligence and to their mothers in reducing stress. The music therapy has been expected to improve the patients' functional activities and enhance emotional stability.

Several researches have shown that music therapy was remarkably conducive to stress management. I will support the claim in this article by using two kind of music: green music and natural music. The main results of research are as follows: The natural music listening and the green music listening were all-together contributive to enhancing cerebral palsied children' activities and emotional stability. Of the two, the natural music listening was more helpful. The natural music listening improved the nonverbal communication ability of the cerebral palsied children. their mothers stated that anxiety has been meaningfully reduced after listening natural music.

The present study purposed to examine problem behaviors of young children around Gwang-ju․Jeonnam area, classified by gender, age and place of residence. For this purpose, we used Goh Hyun (2008) Problem Behavior Scale for Children (PBRSC) and measured problem behaviors of 316 young children aged between 3～5. According to the results, among the young children in this area, boys showed a higher mean score of problem behaviors than girls but the difference was not statistically significant. Second, among the young children in the Gwang-ju․ Jeonnam area, problem behaviors showed statistically significant difference depending on age. By subarea, five‐year‐old children showed lower mean scores than threeand four‐year‐old ones in ‘roblem behaviors related to peer relation,’ ‘problem behaviors related to development,’‘roblem behaviors related to basic life habits’and ‘roblem behaviors related to morality.’® Third, children’ problem behaviors did not show statistically significant difference according to place of residence. Accordingly, it is concluded that children’ problem behaviors are not varied with gender or place of residence, but with age. The results of this study suggest the necessity for developing educational interventions in Gwangju․Jeonnam young children’ problem behaviors, and provide basic materials for identifying the patterns of problem behaviors according to gender, age and place of residence and setting directions for the development of required educational activities.
