본 연구는 우리나라 취업모와 보육시설에 다니는 24-48개월 자녀 67쌍을 대상으로 이들의 정서적 가용성 경향을 알아보고 어머니와 아동의 정서적 가용성을 설명하는 취업모와 아동 관련 변인은 무엇인지 조사하였다. 어머니-아동의 정서적 가용성은 Biringen, Robinson과 Emde(1998)가 개발한 정서적 가용성 척도(Emotional Availability Scales: EA, 3rd)를 사용하였고, 어머니의 일/가족 갈등, 어머니의 양육 스트레스, 어머니의 우울수준, 아동기질, 개인적 배경을 측정하였다. 본 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 취업모와 보육시설에 다니는 24-48개윌 된 자녀의 정서적 가용성은 전체적으로 중간점수 보다 약간 높은 수준으로 나타났다. 취업모 관련변인에 따른 어머니-아동 정서적 가용성의 차이에서는 취업모의 교육 수준, 가정의 경제적 수준이 유의하였으며, 어머니-아동 정서적 가용성과 자녀와의 관계로 인한 양육스트레스 간에는 유의한 부적 상관관계가 나타났다. 아동 관련변인에 따른 어머니-아동 정서적 가용성의 차이에서는 아동이 보육시설에 처음 등원한 시기 변인만 유의한 경향이 나타났다. 취업모와 아동 관련변인 중 가정의 경제적 수준, 자녀관계 양육스트레스, 아동의 보육시설 첫 등원 시기가 어머니의 민감성과 아동의 반응성차원을 20%정도 유의하게 설명하였다.

The main purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between the variables of infant temperament, maternal emotional availability, infant emotional responsiveness and involvement. A total of 60 infants and their mothers participated in this study. Mother-infant dyads were observed and mothers then completed questionnaires. Data was analyzed by means of descriptive statistics, t-tests, Pearson's correlations and hierarchical regressions. In terms of infant emotional responsiveness, maternal sensitivity and non-hostility, these were revealed to have had an effect on infant emotional responsiveness. Moreover, infants who have mothers who had the ability to read their infants' emotional signals accurately, responded in appropriate ways and interacted with affection, showed a higher level of responsiveness. In terms of infant emotional involvement, maternal structuring had an effect on infant emotional involvement. That is, infants who have mothers willing to support their infants through appropriate guidance and facilitate their interaction were more emotionally involved during the play sessions. In conclusion, maternal sensitivity, non-hostility and structuring were all related to infant emotional responsiveness and involvement, however, the degree of the effects of these variables differed.

The purpose of this study was to explore the mediating effects of preschooler's effortful control on the relationship between maternal emotional availability and preschooler's social skills and problem behaviors. One hundred-thirty six 5-year-old preschoolers and their mothers participated in this study. Instruments for this study were the Emotional Availability Scale for maternal emotional availability, the Delay task, and the Child Behavior Questionnaire for preschooler's effortful control, and the Social Skill Rating Scale, K-CBCL 1.5-5 and K-TRF for preschooler's social skills and problem behaviors. The resulting data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, partial correlation, and structural equation modeling analysis. As predicted, the preschooler's effortful control mediated the effects of maternal emotional availability on preschooler's social skills and problem behaviors. In conclusion, the preschooler's effortful control mediates the effects of emotion related socialization behavior on the preschooler's socio-emotional adjustment.

The purpose of this study was to explore and examine the relationship between mother-child emotional availability and preschoolers' story stem narrative response. Eighty two 4-year-old preschoolers and their mothers participated in this study. This study used the following translated evaluation tools: Emotional Availability Scales(EA, 3rd edition) designed by Biringen and colleagues(1998) to examine the quality of the emotional relationship between mother and her child, and the MacArthur Story Stem Battery(MSSB) developed by Bretherton and colleagues with the MacArthur Narrative Group(1990) to measure preschoolers' narrative responses. The following statistical analyses were preformed descriptive, cluster analysis, and One-way ANOVA. The findings were as follows: First, 4 clusters of the narrative responses of 4-year-old preschoolers were prosocial story tellers, avoidant/dysregulated story tellers, constrained story tellers, and anxious story tellers. Second, the preschoolers in the prosocial cluster showed a high level of mother-child emotional availability and the preschoolers in the avoidant/dysregulated cluster showed a low level of mother-child emotional availability.

The purposes of this study were to explore the effect of mother-child emotional availability on preschooler's preschool adjustment and mediating effect of preschooler's effortful control on the relationship between mother child emotional availability and preschooler's preschool adjustment. 222 preschoolers(110 boys, 112 girls, aged 5) and their mothers participated in this study. Mother child emotional availability was assessed by Emotional Availability Scale(Biringen, et al., 1998). Preschooler's effortful control was measured by the Child Behavior Questionnaire(Rothbart, et al., 1994). Preschooler's school adjustment was measured by Teacher Rating Scale of School Adjustment: TRSSA(Buhs & Ladd, 2001). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlations, and structural equation modeling analysis. The major results of this study were as follows; First, Mother-child emotional availability effected on preschooler's preschool adjustment. Second, Mother-child emotional availability effected on preschooler's effortful control. Third, Preschooler's effortful control effected on preschooler's preschool adjustment. Forth, preschooler's effortful control mediated the effect of mother-child emotional availability on preschooler's preschool adjustment. That was, the more mother-child were emotionally available to each other, the more preschooler's effortfully control their attention and behavior, which in turn contributed to preschooler's preschool adjustment. In conclusion, mother-child emotional availability affect on preschooler's preschool adjustment and preschoolers control mediates the relationship between mother-child emotional availability and preschool adjustment.

본 연구의 목적은 손자녀의 양육을 지원하는 지원 양육조모의 양육 스트레스와 그의 예언변수들을 탐색하고 이를 양육모집단과 비교 분석하는 것이다. 낮시간 동안 아동을 돌보는 할머니 152명(지원 양육조모)과 그 아동의 어머니 152명(부분 양육모), 낮시간 동안 아동을 돌보는 어머니 157명(주 양육모)의 양육스트레스, 우울, 양육행동, 스트레스 대처, 사회적 지지를 비교 분석하였다. 지원 양육조모는 주 양육모와 부분 양육모에 비해 유의하게 우울하였으나 양육 스트레스에서는 집단 간 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 지원 양육조모는 주 양육모보다 사회적 지지와 문제 중심 대처 능력이 뚜렷이 낮아 스트레스에 가용한 자원이 취약함을 시사하였다. 양육스트레스를 설명하는 예언변수로 양육행동(과잉반응성, 방임성), 스트레스 대처(문제 중심 대처 및 정서 중심 대처), 사회적 지지, 우울의 설명량을 위계적 회귀분석을 통해 탐색하였다. 지원 양육조모의 양육 스트레스를 설명하는 변수는 과잉 반응성, 우울이었다. 주 양육모도 과잉반응성과 우울이 양육 스트레스의 유의한 예언 변수였고, 정서 중심 대처도 예언 변수로 나타났다. 한편, 부분 양육모는 사회적 지지, 우울, 과잉 반응성이 양육 스트레스의 유의한 예언 변수로 나타나 낮시간 양육 집단과는 차이를 보였다. 우울이나 자원의 측면에서 조모 집단과 모집단의 차이를 논의하고, 예언 변수를 중심으로 양육 집단과 비양육 집단의 차이, 조모 집단과 모집단 간의 차이에 대해 논의하였다.
