Abstract

This study was conducted to examine the influence of personal characteristics of infant-toddler and mother, social support and mother-child interaction on mother-child attachment. A descriptive study was implemented, and data were gathered from March 1 to September 30, 2016. The subjects were 215 mothers whose children were in infancy or toddlers. A survey was conducted with self-administered questionnaires regarding general characteristics, social support, mother-child interaction and attachment. SPSS 24.0 was used for descriptive statistics, intergroup comparisons of average scores, correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis. Statistically significant differences in average attachment scores according to gender (t=3.200, p<0.002), age (t=4.037, p<0.001) and temperament (F=4.614, p<0.011) were observed among the characteristics of infant-toddlers, as well as according to age (F=18.028, p<0.001) and academic credentials (F=4.241, p<0.016) among the characteristics of mother. Attachment was correlated with social support (r=0.507, p<0.001) and with mother-child interaction (r=0.571, p<0.001). The factors that affected attachment were mother-child interaction (${\beta}=0.361$, p<0.001), social support (${\beta}=0.309$, p<0.001), age (under the age of 30)(${\beta}=-0.370$, p<0.001) and marriage duration (less than 10 years)(${\beta}=-0.179$, p<0.033). Overall, the results indicate that interaction programs that bolster social support and mother-child interactions that exert a crucial influence on attachment should be developed.

본 연구의 목적은 영유아와 어머니의 일반적 특성, 사회적 지지 그리고 모아상호작용이 모아애착에 미치는 영향을 분석하는 것이다. 본 연구는 서술적 조사연구로 자료수집기간은 2016년 3월 1일부터 9월 30일까지였다. 영유아기의 자녀가 있는 어머니 215명을 대상으로 자가 보고형 설문지를 이용하여 일반적 특성, 사회적 지지, 모아상호작용 그리고 애착에 대한 자료를 수집하였다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS 24.0 프로그램을 이용하여 기술통계, 집단간 평균비교, 상관관계 그리고 다중회귀분석으로 분석하였다. 연구결과 영유아의 특성 중 성별(t=3.200, p<.002), 연령(t=4.037, p<.001)과 기질(F=4.614, p<.011)에 따라, 어머니의 특성 중 연령(F=18.028, p<.001)과 학력(F=4.241, p<.016)에 따라 애착의 평균값이 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었다. 애착은 사회적 지지(r=.507, p<.001) 및 모아상호작용(r=.571, p<.001)과 통계적으로 유의한 양의 상관관계가 있었다. 애착에 영향을 미치는 요인은 모아상호작용(${\beta}=0.361$, p<.001), 사회적 지지(${\beta}=0.309$, p<.001), 연령(30세미만)(${\beta}=-0.370$, p<.001) 그리고 결혼 기간(10년 미만)(${\beta}=-0.179$, p<.033)이었다. 애착에 중요한 영향을 미치는 사회적 지지와 모아상호작용을 높일 수 있는 중재 프로그램 개발이 필요할 것으로 생각된다.
