Objectives : The aim of this study was to examine the effects of maternal sociodemographic characteristics, especially education and employment, and parenting stress on the child's self-concept. Attention was also paid to the mediating impact of parenting style on the relationship between the maternal variables and a child's self-concept. Methods : A questionnaire and three scales were completed by fifth graders and their mothers, and 270 sets of paired data were analyzed. Results : The results showed that mothers with higher education experienced less child-related parenting stress, were perceived to be more achievement-oriented and rational by their children, and also had children with more positive self-concept. The relationship between maternal education and child's self-concept was mediated by the rationality dimension of parenting style. Maternal employment was not related to parenting stress, parenting style and most aspects of the child's self-concept. Lastly, child-related parenting stress had a negative effect on the child's self-concept, and this effect was mediated by the warmth and rationality dimensions of parenting style. Conclusion : Parenting style had a mediating effect on the relationships between the child's self-concept and maternal education and child-related parenting stress.

The present study investigated maternal parenting stress trajectories, using data gathered from the Korean Children Panel Survey. Four factors-monthly income, maternal depression levels, infants' negative emotionality, marital conflict-which were taken from reports made by the mothers' used in this study, were examined as predictors of maternal parenting stress trajectories. The effects of maternal parenting stress trajectories, parenting styles and toddlers' peer interruptive behaviors were also examined. The findings were as follows: First, maternal parenting stress trajectories somewhat increased from the 1st year period to the 4th year period. Second, infants' negative emotionality and marital conflict within the first year were observed to have a connection to the initial level and slope of maternal parenting stress trajectories. Third, maternal parenting stress trajectories predicted positive parenting styles, and parenting styles had a longitudinal impact on toddlers' peer interruptive behaviors at the 5th year period.

The purpose of this study was to examine effects of father involvement, marital happiness and conflicts, and meanings of parenthood on maternal parenting stress and compare the relative importance of those variables in three (low, middle, and upper) income groups. The subjects of this study were 654 nuclear families which consisted of 3 family members, couple and their infant children aged between 4 months and 10 months. Data was taken from the 2008 Panel Data of Korean Children. The results of this study were as follows : First, maternal parenting stress, father involvement, mother's marital satisfaction and conflicts were statistically significant according to income levels. Second, mother's marital satisfaction was the most significant variable in predicting father involvement, and mother's marital conflict was the most significant one in predicting maternal parenting stress. Third, the significance and numbers of variables which were impacted upon maternal parenting stress and father involvement varied according to income groups. Fourth, in all three income groups, the effects of father involvement on maternal parenting stress was not significant when marital relationship and meanings of parenthood underwent in regression analysis. However, father involvement was impacted upon maternal parenting stress by itself.

본 연구의 주된 목적은 한국인의 가족관련 가치의식을 탐색하는데 있다. 이를 위해, 세대별 어머니 집단의 자녀가치와 양육태도 및 부모부양을 중심으로 분석하였다. 최종 분석대상은 유아 어머니 집단 314명과 청소년 어머니 집단 395명이었으며, 평균 연령은 각각 31세, 41세였다. 측정도구는 본 연구자들과 함께 독일의 Bad Homburg 워크샾에 참여한 여러 국가의 연구자들이, Schwarz, Chakkarath, Trommsdorff, Schwenk와 Nauck(2001)이 제작한 질문지를 참고로 하여, 공동으로 토론하여 제작하였다. 질문지는 자녀가내, 가치관, 자녀 양육태도, 인간관계, 사회적 지원, 스트레스와 생활만족도를 측정하는 내용으로 구성되었다. 첫째, 자녀가치와 관련된 분석 결과, 세대별로 의미있는 차이가 있었다. 자녀를 원하는 이유로서, 청소년 어머니 집단은 가문을 이어가기 위해서와 같은 사회적 가치와, 부모가 되어야 집안에서 위치가 분명해지고 인정 받는다와 같은 관계적 가치를 더욱 중요하게 인식하였다. 반면에 유아 어머니 집단은 아이가 자라는 것을 보면 즐겁다와 같은 심리적 가치를 더욱 중요하게 생각하였다. 자녀를 원하지 않는 이유로서, 유아 어머니 집단은 자유롭지 못하다와 같은 개인적 제약을 훨씬 강하게 지각하였다. 둘째, 자녀 양육태도와 관련된 결과도 세대별로 의미있는 차이가 있었다. 청소년 어머니 집단이 유아 어머니집단보다, 부모로서 자녀에 대한 책임을 더 강하게 인식하였으며, 현재의 자녀뿐만 아니라 자녀가 성인이 되었을 때까지도 자녀를 사회적으로 지원해 주고자 하는 각오가 훨씬 강하였다. 또한 청소년 어머니 집단이 자녀의 연령별 발달에 대한 기대와 관련하여 자녀에게 훨씬 관대하였다. 청소년 어머니 집단은 아들이나 딸로부터 도움받기를 기대하는 정도도 훨씬 높았다. 유아 어머니 집단은 청소년 어머니 집단보다 애정적 양육태도를 나타내었으나, 자녀양육 스트레스가 더 높았다. 셋째, 부모 부양과 관련된 결과에서도, 세대별 차이가 확인되었다. 즉 유아 어머니 집단이 부모로부터 실제적이고 정서적인 지원은 더 많이 받고 있으면서도, 부모에 대한 실제적인 지원은 청소년 어머니 집단이 더 많이 하였다. 종합적으로 볼 때, 나이 든 어머니들일수록 보다 전통적이고 보수적인 자녀가치와 양육태도 및 부모부양 태도를 지니고 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 이러한 결과는 한국의 세대별 어머니 집단간 가족관련 가치의식에 차이가 있음을 시사한다.

The data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, two-way ANOVAs, Pearson's correlations. The result were as follows: Girls perceived more maternal warmth than boys in divorce families, but boys perceived more maternal warmth than girls in intact families. Boys perceived more maternal supervision than girls in intact and divorced families. Mother of divorced families had more childrearing stress than mothers of intact familes.

The subjects were 208 mothers who lived with at least one preschooler in Daegu or Gyeongbuk Province. The collected data were analyzed by Pearson's correlation, and single and multiple regression, using SPSS Win 15.0. The results were as follows. (1) Mothers' marital conflict was negatively associated with affection parenting. However, the negative influence of mothers' marital conflict on affection parenting was mediated by child-rearing stress. (2) Mothers' marital conflict was positively associated with rejection parenting. However, the positive influence of mothers' marital conflict on rejection parenting was partially mediated by child-rearing stress.

This study explored differences in maternal parenting behaviors, children's emotional intelligence, and daily hassles by children's sex and types of aggression. Subjects were 200 children in 4th, 5th, and 6th grade and their mothers from four elementary schools. Instruments were the Maternal Parenting Behaviors Scale (Kim, 2006), the Emotional Intelligence Scale (Lee, 1997), the Daily Hassles Scale(Min & Yoo, 1998), and the Peer-nomination Measure (Crick, 1995; Crick & Grotpeter, 1995). Data were subjected to descriptive statistical analysis and multivariate analysis of variance. Findings revealed that the relational aggressive group had higher emotional intelligence and more daily hassles; girls had higher level of daily hassles than boys. Maternal parenting behaviors did not differ by child's sex and type of aggression.

Questionnaires completed by the mothers who had 0-36 month old children were used to measure depressive symptoms in mothers, infant cry, infant temperament, parenting stress, and family function. Maternal depression, parenting stress, infant crying and infant temperament had negative influence on family adaptability and family cohesion. Mother's depression had negative effect particularly on infant cry. Infant cry had positive effect on infant temperament. Infant temperament had high direct effect on parenting stress. As a result, it had negative influence on family function.

The purpose of this study was to focus on the effects of a mother's characteristics and self-awareness as they impact upon parenting stress, with the additional aim of creating an appropriate structural equation model. The subjects of the study comprised 2078 newborn children (and their mothers) taken from the $1^{st}$ year of the Korea Children's Panel. The results of the research are as follows. The mother's feeling of pregnancy, her income activity, religion, and educational level impacted significantly upon self-awareness, whereas employment status did not. In addition, the feeling of pregnancy and income activity had a effect on parenting stress both directly and indirectly. Educational level and religion impacted on parenting stress indirectly through self-awareness. Both employment status and self-awareness were found to have impacted on parenting stress directly. The implication of these findings are also discussed.
