어머니의 과보호 및 양육스트레스와 유아의 정서지능간의 관계 = Effects of maternal overprotection and parenting stress on infants’ emotional intelligence

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

As there is no prior studies about a relationship between maternal overprotection and parenting stress, a purpose of this research is finding effects of maternal overprotection and parenting stress on infants’ emotional intelligence and a relationship of those.

1. what’s a general trend of maternal overprotection, parenting stress and infants’ emotional intelligence?
2. how are maternal overprotection, parenting stress and infants’ emotional intelligence related?
3. what’s the relative effects of maternal overprotection and parenting stress on infants’ emotional intelligence?


The subjects of study are 286 infants aged 4 and 5 in child care center located in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do and their mothers
The measurements are composed of scales of infants’ emotional intelligence, maternal parenting stress and overprotection.
Mothers rated scales of maternal parenting stress and overprotection with given questionnaire. Infants’ teachers rated the scale of infants’ emotional intelligence on be half of the infants through given questionnaire. In other words, a teacher and a mother rates the scales for one infant.
The research uses ‘Checklist of emotional intelligence for the teachers’ which is developed by Byung-rae Lee(1997) based on structural model of emotional intelligence by Mayer & Salovey (1990, 1996) and theories of Saarni(1990).

The scales are rated through observation reports of infants which consist of four sub-categories, ‘self-awareness ability’, ‘self-control capability’, ‘ability of recognising others’, ‘ability of controlling others’ and 31 questions.
To measure maternal overprotection, the research uses scales of Parental Protectiveness by Falbo(1999) and Hyunsim Do.
There are 11 questions concerning maternal overprotection and baby behavior, also 5 questions in regard to sheltering behavior.
The research refers to adaption of PSI/SF(Abidin, 1990) by Jiyoung Ahn(2001) which is revised version of PSI(Parenting Stress Index) by Abidin(1990).
PSI/SF is a questionnaire for self-report purpose which is developed to measure degree of parenting stress with inverse interaction in parents-child relation and/or major factors of parenting stress.
The research analyses data by applying spss 82 statistics program. To see general characteristics of the subject of study under socio-demography , Cronbach’s α coefficient is computed to verify reliability of the each scale.
To see general trends of maternal overprotection, parenting stress and infants’ emotional intelligence, the research calculates frequency, mean and standard deviation and with the average of emotional intelligence level, the research verifies general trends of maternal parenting stress and overprotection’s total figure and sub factor.
The research conducts Pearson correlation analysis to see the relationship between maternal overprotection, parenting stress and infants’ emotional intelligence.
Also, the research implements multiple regression analysis to study the effects of maternal overprotection and parenting stress on infants’ emotional intelligence.
Summaries of the result are followings :
Firstly, the general trend of maternal overprotection, parenting stress and infants’ emotional intelligence is shown to be below the average of maternal overprotection and baby behavior of mothers having infants children.

The mothers of infants suffer less in the troubles between parents-child relation than the average. Every mother has their own patience from the child expectation, however the mothers of infants suffer less than the average.
It has shown that self-awareness ability, ability of controlling others and ability of recognising of others are above than the average. Self-regulated ability is around the average.
Secondly, maternal overprotection, parenting stress and infants’ emotional intelligence do not have positive relationship to total score of maternal overprotection and sub factors.
In other words, maternal overprotection (baby behaviour) has no relationship with infants’ emotional intelligence.
Thirdly, from the observation of the relative effects of maternal overprotection and parenting stress on infants’ emotional intelligence, one of the sub factors in model 1 appears to have inverse relationship impact.
The biggest influential factor is having the negative relationship followed by difficult behavior of infants and baby behavior.
It has proven that when the mother is having difficult relationship, feeling that the child is difficult, and the less the baby behavior, the higher the infants’ emotional intelligence.
Therefore there’s a meaning to having this research when there’s no prior research
