Abstract
This study examined relationships among maternal self-perception, parenting behavior, kindergartener's temperament, and social competence. The subjects were 112 kindergartners and their mothers. Instruments were the modified Self-Perception Profile for Adults, the Iowa Parent Behavior Inventory, the Parent and Teacher Temperament Questionnaire for children 3-7 years of age, and the Iowa Social Competency Scales. The data were analyzed by Pearson's correlation, connonical correlation and regression. Results showed significant correlations among maternal self-perception, parenting behaviors, kindergartener's temperament and social competence. Findings from analyses by cannonical correlation and regression revealed that maternal self-perception, parenting behaviors, and children's temperament are important variables for predicting social competence in children.
