The purpose of this study was to investigate the differences in preschoolers`s problem behavior, leadership, and social perspective-taking ability according to the stability of attachment. The subjects were 25 boys and 17 girls aged 5 who attended in daycare center in Busan and Kimhae. The instruments used in this study were‘Attachment Story Completion Task’,‘Caregiver-Teacher Report Form for Infant Behavior Rating Scale’,‘Teachers` Infant Leadership Scale’, and ‘Social Perspective-Taking Scale’. The type of attachment was classified as secure, insecure-avoidant, or insecure-disorganized. Problem behavior was classified based on C-TRF`s problem behavior symptom, and DSM diagnosis criterion. The results revealed that children classified as secure were 62%, as insecure-avoidant were 14%, as insecure-disorganized were 24%.. Children having secure attachment showed less behavior problems related to emotion and development. And they were more initiative, socialized, and sensitive in the aspect of the leadership. This results supported the relationship of attachment with children`s behavior problems and leadership. The limitation of subjects` number was considered.
