The purpose of this study was to examine the main and interaction effects of fathers' parenting and their play participation on emotional regulation of preschoolers. The participants of this study consisted of 269 preschoolers (M: 61.4 months, SD: 15.3) located in Seoul and Gyeong-gi province. The results of regression analysis revealed that; 1) Father's parenting (such as rational instruction, friendly attitude) positively predicted child's emotion regulations. 2) The interaction effects of fathers' parenting (such as parenting participation, reaction, rational instruction, friendly attitude) with their constructive play participation predicted children's emotion regulations. Namely, fathers with higher constructive play participation showed higher emotion regulations of preschoolers under father's parenting participation, reaction, rational instruction and friendly attitude. 3) The interaction effects between fathers' functional play participation and father's parenting participation predicted children's emotion regulations. Findings indicate that fathers play a role in improving children's emotion regulation by parenting. Moreover, its effects appeared more apparently when fathers participated with constructive and functional play methods. In conclusion, it is suggested that fathering and the level of play involvement may be key variables for developing young children's emotion regulation.

본 연구는 아버지의 놀이신념이 놀이참여를 매개로 유아의 놀이몰입과 또래놀이행동에 미치는 영향력이 어떠한가를 분석해보는데 목적을 두었다. 이를 위해 G시와 J도 소재 유아교육기관의 유아 242명과 그들의 아버지를 연구대상으로 선정하고, 이현지(2016)의 부모놀이신념 척도와 원희영(1998)의 부모 놀이참여 검사, 나은숙(2013)의 유아 놀이몰입 척도와 최혜영, 신혜영(2008)의 또래놀이행동 검사를 활용하여 자료를 수집하였다. 구체적으로 연구목적과 응답방법에 대한 안내지를 포함한 놀이신념과 놀이참여 질문지를 가정에 배부하여 아버지로부터 자료를 수집하였으며, 유아의 놀이몰입과 또래놀이행동은 담임교사를 통해 자료를 수집하였다. 수집된 자료를 토대로 Hayes(2013)의 PROCESS macro를 활용한 매개모형(mediation model)의 유의성 검증을 실시하였다. 분석결과, 아버지의 놀이신념이 놀이참여를 매개로 유아의 놀이몰입, 또래놀이행동 중 놀이방해, 놀이상호작용에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 연구결과는 아버지의 놀이신념과 놀이참여가 유아의 놀이에 대한 사회 정서적 측면에 직간접적으로 영향을 미치고 있음을 시사한다. 이에 유아의 놀이에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 아버지의 양육역할의 중요성을 강조하였으며, 아버지의 놀이신념이 실제적인 놀이참여에 영향을 미침으로써 유아의 놀이만족과 건강한 놀이행동을 유도할 수 있음을 고려하여 이들 변인을 긍정적으로 강화할 필요가 있음을 논의하였다.

최근 한국사회에서 출산율이 급락하면서 부모의 자녀돌봄에 대한 사회적 지지의 필요성에 대한 공감대가 높아지고 있다. 본 연구는 미취학자녀를 양육하는 맞벌이부모의 여가활동별 사용시간에 초점을 맞추어 성차와 시간효과를 살펴보고자 한다. 이를 위해 2004년과 2019년의 통계청 생활시간조사 자료를 활용하여 미취학자녀를 둔 맞벌이부부가 근무일인 평일에 작성한 시간일지를 분석하여 전반적인 생활시간 구성(필수시간, 의무시간, 여가시간)의 변화, 여가활동 유형(자원봉사, 교제, 참여, 종교, 의례, 문화·관광, 스포츠·레포츠, 게임·놀이, 미디어, 휴식, 기타 여가)에 따른 사용시간의 성차와 조사시기별 차이, 여가활동별 사용시간에 영향을 미치는 요인을 분석하였다(n=2,697). 본 연구의 주요결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 두 조사시기 모두 미취학자녀를 둔 맞벌이부부의 경우 전체성인집단에 비해 필수시간은 짧고, 의무시간은 길며, 여가시간은 짧은 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 맞벌이부모의 여가활동별 시간사용량을 비교한 결과, 성차가 유의한 활동 가운데 2004년에는 종교활동을 제외한 모든 여가활동에서, 2019년에는 모든 여가활동에서 아버지가 어머니보다 더 많은 시간을 사용하였다. 아버지와 어머니 모두 총 여가시간이 2004년에 비해 2019년에 감소하였는데, 여가활동별로는 교제, 의례, 미디어 시간은 아버지와 어머니 모두 감소하였고, 종교시간은 어머니 집단에서, 휴식시간은 아버지 집단에서만 감소하였으며, 참여와 게임·놀이 시간은 모두 증가하는 추세를 보였다. 셋째, 맞벌이부모의 여가활동 유형 중 전체성인집단과 뚜렷한 차이를 보인 3가지 여가활동(스포츠·레포츠, 게임·놀이, 미디어)을 선정하여 회귀분석을 실시한 결과, 사회인구학적 변수와 생활시간 변수가 서로 다른 효과를 보였다. 이러한 연구결과는 맞벌이부모의 초기양육기 삶의 질 향상을 위한 가족정책과 부모교육프로그램 개발을 위한 기초자료로 활용될 것으로 기대된다.

Objective: The aim of this study is to examine the current status of parent-child play and the relationship between children's perceptions of play with parents and children's happiness. Methods: One hundred twenty 5-year-old children and their parents participated in the study. Each parent reported the current status of play with their child and the researchers interviewed the children about their perceptions of play with parents and their happiness. Results: The results showed that parents played with their child for about 52 minutes on weekdays and 2-3 hours on weekends. Mothers played longer with their child than fathers on all days. Parents perceived that they played with their child at average frequency and showed above average participation. Children perceived that their parents were actively playing with them and children enjoyed and were satisfied with their play with parents. Children were happier when parents spent more time playing with them in an engaging fashion, and when they enjoyed the nature of the play. Conclusion/Implications: This study implies the influence and importance of the quality of parent-child play on children's happiness.
