This study investigated the relationship between preschoolers' smart media usage in regards to cognitive and language development, especially the mediating effect of preschoolers' smart media addiction tendency and the moderated mediating effect of maternal guidance on smart media usage. The study surveyed 273 preschoolers' mothers who lived in Daegu City and Kyungpook Province. The findings of this study were as follows. First, preschoolers' smart media addiction tendency mediated the relationship between smart media usage time in regards to cognitive and language development. Second, maternal active mediation and monitoring moderated the relationship between preschoolers' smart media usage time and smart media addiction tendency. Third, there was a maternal co-use moderated the mediating effect of preschoolers' smart media addiction tendency on language development. In conclusion, preschoolers' smart media addition tendency mediated the effect of smart media usage time on cognitive and language development. Among the mediation pathways, the influence of preschoolers' smart media addiction tendency on language development was moderated by maternal co-use. The findings of this study suggest that maternal guidance should be applied differently depending on preschoolers' smart media addiction tendency. This study examined preschoolers' and maternal smart media-related variables on preschoolers' cognitive and language development in order to provide preliminary data that can be used to explore the maternal guidance on how to use smart media for their preschool children.

Three levels(high, medium, low) of maternal language were used to examine the ways in which mothers interact with their children while reading together. Eighty pairs of mothers and their children were observed in their homes. Findings were that mothers made increased use of high level language with increase in children's age and IQ. Mothers' use of high level language was greater for 6-year-olds than for 5-year-olds and use of low level language was greater for 5-year-olds than for 6-year-olds. The more educated mothers used a higher level of language while less educated mothers used a lower level of language. Mothers' use of low level language predicted lower reading ability in children.

본 연구는 아시아계와 남미계 미국인 이민자 엄마의 언어 사용과 학령 전 아동의 학교준비도 사이의 관계를 규명하려는 목적으로 수행되었다. 미국 교육부에서 구축한 전국적 대표성을 지니는 출생 코호트 자료에서 이민자 엄마의 자녀 약 1,500명을 대상으로 중다회귀분석 방법을 활용하여 분석을 수행한 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 아시아계와 남미계 집단 모두에게서 이민자 엄마가 모국어를 사용하는 경우보다 영어만 사용하거나 영어와 모국어를 함께 사용하는 경우에 자녀의 표현적 언어 발달에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 아시아계 이민자 엄마가 모국어를 사용하는 경우보다 영어만 사용하거나 영어와 모국어를 함께 사용하는 경우 자녀의 친사회적 행동에 긍정적 영향을 미치는 것으로 분석되었다. 셋째, 영어와 모국어를 함께 사용하는 이민자 엄마의 미국 내 거주기간이 길수록 자녀의 학습 접근과 행동 발달에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과를 토대로 이민자 가정의 학령 전 아동의 발달을 도울 수 있는 개입 방안에 대해서 논의하였다.

This study examined the relations of acculturation and parenting behaviors of 279 Korean-Chinese mothers living in Yanbian Area in China to Adjustment of their eighth- and ninth-grade children. The mothers completed a questionnaire consisted of items regarding daily eating habits(food life) and language use, the acculturation scale, and the parenting scale, and their children completed the depression, self-esteem, and social competence scale. While most of mothers preferred Korean food to Chinese food, they preferred Chinese to Korean in daily language use. The mothers'ethnic identity was negatively related to depression of their children, whereas their out-group orientation was positively related to social competence of their children. In general, the relation between mothers'acculturation and adjustment of their children was not mediated by their parenting behaviors. But maternal warmth and acceptance partly mediated the relation between their out-group orientation and social competence of their children. These results imply that their acculturation tends to have direct effects on adjustment of their children.
