This study compared parenting characteristics(attitude, stress, cooperation from the spouse and agreements on disciplines) between parents of gifted(n=126) and ordinary(n=153) children age 10-15. Results revealed that parents with gifted children reported more positive parenting characteristics even though they felt the similar parenting stress to ordinary parents. In both groups there were significant correlations among these parenting characteristics. There were negative correlations among parenting stress, cooperation from the spouse and agreement on disciplinary methods. Separate regression analyses indicated that agreement on disciplinary methods was a significant predictor for parenting attitude among parents with the gifted while in addition to it, parenting stress was also significant for parents with ordinary children. Implications such as parenting education and fatherhood were discussed.

본 연구는 일부지역 장애아동 양육자의 정신과적 문제를 알아보기 위해 우울증 지수를 검사하고 분석함으로서 그 심각성을 확인하고 장애아동 양육자의 정신보건의 필요성을 알리기 위한 기초자료를 제공하는 데 목적이 있다. 본 연구는 2011년 8월부터 9월까지 경주 및 인근지역에서 지적장애아동과 지체장애아동을 둔 전업주부의 정신과적 문제를 알아보기 위해 양육 스트레스로 인한 우울증 정도를 알아보았다. 연구대상자는 3개의 치료기관 및 치료 관련기관에서 지적장애 또는 지체장애 아동을 양육하고 있는 부모 각 20명씩을 대상으로 하였다. 우울증 평가도구는 한국형 우울증 검사(Korean Depression Scale; KDS)를 이용하였다. 결과는 첫째, 지적장애아동과 지체장애아동 양육자 모두 우울증이 있는 것으로 나타났고 각각의 차이 비교에는 유의성이 없었다. 둘째, 지적장애아동과 지체장애아동 양육자의 우울증 세부항목에서는 의욕상실 부분에서만 유의성이 있었다. 셋째, 지적장애아동 양육자의 우울증 세부항목간의 비교에서는 유의성이 있었다. 넷째, 지체장애아동 양육자의 우울증 세부항목간의 비교에서는 유의성이 있었다. 다섯째, 지적장애아동 양육자의 우울증과 세부항목의 상관관계에서는 의욕상실에서 유의한 상관성이 있었다. 여섯째, 지체장애아동 양육자의 우울증과 세부항목의 상관관계에서는 의욕상실에서 유의한 상관성이 있었다. 본 연구에서는 두 장애아동의 양육자간 차이는 없었으며 우울증은 장애유형에 상관없이 모두 나타났다. 그리고 세부항목과 우울증의 상관성에서는 의욕상실에서 유의한 상관성을 보였다. 이것은 장애아동의 양육에서 치료의 지연으로 인한 의욕상실에서 우울증이 많이 유발됨을 알 수 있다.

여성주의 경제학자와 사회학자들은 부모의 아동양육시간이 여성과 아동의 경제적 복지에 미치는 중요한 함의에 대해 강조해왔다. 사회가 가족이 아동을 양육하는데 더 큰 지원을 제공해야 한다는 부모의 목소리가 커지고 있지만, 정작 어느 정도의 시간 자원이 아동을 양육하는데 투입되는지에 관해 연구된 바가 거의 없다. 기존의 연구들은 전체 생산 경제에서의 무급 노동의 경제적 가치의 비중에 초점을 두었다. 본 연구는 2004년 한국생활시간조사를 사용해 아동 양육에 투입된 부모의 시간을 추정하고 그 시간의 금전적 가치를 추정하는 것이 목적이다. 부모가 아동양육을 위해 투입한 시간의 경제적 가치는 시장 노동을 통해 벌어들인 소득에 비교해 볼 때 상당한 비중을 차지하고 있다. 아동이 소비하는 재화와 서비스를 생산하는 데 있어 무급 노동의 역할은 시장 노동에 참여하지 않고 있는 사람들에게 특히 중요하다. 아동을 양육하는 모의 노력은 대개 무급 노동의 형태를 띠고 있는데, 부모의 시장노동만큼이나 아동 복지를 향상시키는데 기여하고 있다. 전체 경제 차원에서의 무급 노동의 비중과 그 경제적 가치에 대한 연구 성과들과 별개로, 부모의 아동 양육 시간의 비중과 경제적 가치의 추정은 전체 경제 가운데 인적 자본부문에 대한 무급 노동의 경제적 역할에 대해 중요한 정보를 제공한다.

Using a subsample of 3,409 unmarried smothers and their children from the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing study, the present study examined the cross-lagged effects of unmarried fathers' involvement on their children's behavior problems. Father involvement was used as a latent variable to measure the frequency of fathers' visits to the child, fathers' instrumental support, and their supportive parenting. Both variables of father involvement and child behavior problems were repeatedly measured at child ages 3, 5, and 9 to estimate their trends over time. The results indicated that fathers' more active engagement in parenting at child ages 3 to 5 reduced behavior problems in children at ages 5 to 9. Further discussions include programs and services to support unmarried fathers through education and training opportunities for effective parenting, relationship skills, and conflict resolutions as well as policy strategies to encourage their continuous involvement in the lives of their children.

The purpose of this study was to clarify the effect of the modernity of mothers and children's misbehavior on parenting stress of mothers. The subjects of this study was 210 mothers who lived in Korea. The results of this study were as follows: First, No significant statistical difference was found on the parental modernity of mothers by children's sex. Second, No significant statistical difference was found on parenting stress of mothers by the level of education of mothers but significant statistical difference was found on parenting stress by the level of parental modernity. Third, the more mothers had the level of education, the more mothers had parental modernity. Fourth, more children had misbehavior, the more mothers had parenting stress, Fifth, the more mothers had the parental modernity, the less mothers had parenting stress. These results suggest that the parenting stress was effected by both parenting modernity and children's misbehavior but also it was much relevant to children's misbehavior than parenting modernity.

The objective of this study was to compare the family environment and developmental history of three groups of children classified by their temperament. The parents of 484 Korean children aged between 3 and 7 years completed the Korean version of Parental Temperamental Questionnaire developed by Thomas and Chess and Developmental Questionnaire created by Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Samsung Medical Center. After clustering these children into 5 temperamental groups according to the method proposed by Fullard et al, 98 Easy, 36 Difficult, and 21 Slow-To-Warm-Up children were included in the analysis. Statistically meaningful differences observed among three groups were as follow：1) Marital conflict of parents was more frequent in Difficult and Slow-To-Warm-Up children than in Easy children. 2) Parentchild conflict was more frequent in Difficult children than in Easy children. 3) Conflict among siblings was more frequent in Difficult children than in Easy children. 4) Average monthly income of family was less in Difficult children than in Easy children. 5) Toilet training was achieved later in Difficult children than in Easy children. 6) Motor development was slower, between 2 and 5 years old, in Slow-To-Warm-Up children than in Easy children. 7) Fear of stranger started earlier in Slow-To-Warm-Up children than in easy children. 8) Physical health was poorer in Difficult and Slow-To-Warm-Up children than in easy children. The findings indicate that Difficult child or Slow-To-Warm-Up child group have unfavorable family environment, different developmental milestone and poorer physical health in comparison with Easy child group.

The purpose of this study was to determine whether parenting stress is related to anxiety in children with ADHD. The data were provided by 112 children between the ages of 7 and 9. Forty nine children with a diagnosis of ADHD were recruited through 3 departments of child psychiatry and 63 normal children were recruited from elementary schools from the same city. The Korean version of Parenting Stress Index-Short Form was used to assess parenting stress and the Korean version of the State Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children was used to assess the level of anxiety. The results show that children with ADHD have significantly higher levels of anxiety and parenting stress than normal children. However, no significant differences in parenting stress and anxiety were found across gender, age, and the type of ADHD. Significant correlation was found between trait anxiety and parental distress and between state anxiety and difficult child. Parenting stress didn't significantly influence on anxiety in children with ADHD. Occupational therapist need to consider that the anxiety level of children with ADHD is different from normal children. It is needed for interventions for children with anxiety symptoms and also consultation and intervention for parents with parenting stress.

The purpose of this study is to examine the degree of cooperation of the spouse perceived by the mother of a handicapped child on parenting stress and find out if there is a mediating effect of parenting efficacy between the degree of cooperation of the spouse and parenting stress. For such a purpose, this study surveyed 145 mothers of handicapped children who are using the day care center exclusive for handicapped children and analyzed their responses. The results show that, firstly, the degree of cooperation of the spouse perceived by the mother of a handicapped child has direct influence on the parenting efficacy. Secondly, the degree of cooperation of the spouse perceived by the mother of a handicapped child has direct influence on parenting stress. Thirdly, there is a mediating effect of parenting efficacy between the degree of cooperation of the spouse and parenting stress, which means that parenting efficacy increases as the mother perceives that she is receiving more cooperation of the spouse in the process of raising the child and the increased parenting efficacy has an influence on the reduction of parenting stress.
