The purpose of this study was to verify the mediating effects of social maturity in the relationship between developmental level and behavior problems in infants with psychological disabilities. The participants, who were referred to rehabilitation centers and psychiatry clinics, comprised 354 children(270 boys, 84 girls) of 1st to 5th grade. The Korean Bayley Scales of Infant Development Second Edition(K-BSID-II), Social Maturity Scales (SMS) and Child Behavior Checklist 1.5-5(CBCL 1.5-5) were used as the measuring tools. The result were as follows: First, the lower infants, who suffered from psychological disabilities, and had lower mental and psychomotor developmental levels, were found to have more behavior problems. Second, the lower infants, who suffered from psychological disabilities, and had lower mental and psychomotor developmental levels, were also found to have lower levels of social maturity. Third, the lower infants, who suffered from psychological disabilities, but who possessed social maturity, had more behavior problems. Fourth, social maturity was shown to have complete mediating effects in the relationships between developmental levels and behavior problems in infants with mental disorders. This study verified the mediating effects of social maturity in the relationships between mental and psychomotor development levels and behavior problems in infants with mental disorders.
