조유나 ( Cho You-na ),김상미 ( Kim Sang-mi ) 한국영유아교육보육학회 2011 영유아교육.보육연구 Vol.4 No.-

이 연구는 만 4~5세 자녀를 둔 어머니의 행동특성을 DISC행동유형으로 유형화하고 어머니의 행동유형에 따른 양육효능감 및 양육스트레스는 어떠한 차이가 있는지 알아보는 기초자료를 제공하는데 그 목적을 두었다. 이 연구는 서울과 경기 지역에 위치한 만 4, 5세가 되는 유아를 둔 어머니 269명을 대상으로 하였으며, 수집된 자료는 각 변인에 대한 기술적 통계 분석을 실시한 후 일원변량분석방법(ANOVA)을 실시하였다. 이 연구의 결과는 첫째, 어머니의 행동유형에 따른 의사소통과 교육, 전반적 양육효능감에서 유의미한 결과를 보였다. 즉, C형이 S형보다 의사소통이 높은 것으로 나타났으며, D형과 I형, C형이 S형보다 교육요인 양육효능감을 높게 보이는 것으로 나타났다. D형과 C형은 S형보다 전반적 양육효능감에서 유의미한 차이를 보이며 높게 나타났다. 둘째, 어머니의 행동유형에 따른 양육스트레스의 관계를 살펴본 결과, 어머니의 DISC행동유형에 따른 양육스트레스를 분석한 결과 S형(안정형)이 가장 높은 것으로 나타났고, 사후검증을 실시한 결과 DISC행동유형에 따라 유의미한 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 결론적으로 어머니의 행동유형에 따라 양육효능감에 차이가 있었다. 그러므로 양육과 관련된 변인들의 관계에서 어머니 각자의 특성을 고려한 개별화 된 연구가 요구되며 특히 어머니의 긍정적 양육을 위해 낮은 효능감과 높은 양육스트레스를 보인 S유형을 위한 부모교육이 필요하다고 볼 수 있다. The purposes of this study were to categorize mother's behaviour style, whose 4-5 year-old kindergartners according to DISC behaviour patten and determine whether parenting efficacy and parenting stress related to mother's behaviour styles was associated with parenting behaviors. Therefore the following questions were set up for the study: (a) mother's DISC behaviour styles affect parenting efficacy (b) mother's DISC behaviour styles affect parenting stress related to mother's DISC behaviour styles affect parenting behaviors. The subjects of study were 269 mothers of 4-5 year-old kindergarteners in Seoul and Gyung-gi province. The data was analyzed by ANOVA after using technical statistical analysis on variables. The results of the study were as follows: Firstly, the result indicated that mother's behavior style was related to factors of parenting efficacy, analyzing the relationship between variables of parenting efficacy according to mother's behaviour style. The parenting efficacy related to mother's behaviour style indicated differences in communication, teaching, general parenting efficacy from mother's behaviour style. In other words, Type C indicated higher communication parenting efficacy than type S. Also type D, type I and type C indicated higher teaching parenting efficacy than type S. Type D and type C indicated higher general parenting efficacy than type S. Otherwise, type S indicated lowest factors of parenting efficacy except parenting efficacy of control factors and significantly lower than other types of mothers. Secondly, mother's stress were not related to variables of parenting behaviour, particularly affectionate parenting behaviors and rational guiding parenting stress. But Type S indicated higher level in general than other behavior styles. In conclusion, the result indicated mother's behaviour style related to parenting efficacy and parenting stress. also relationship. Therefore research and parenting education should be considered based on each mother's characters in terms of parenting-related variables. Especially for the mother's positive parenting showed lower efficacy and higher parenting stress, parent training is required for type S can be considered.

The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between children’s dietary self-efficacy, general characteristics and mother’s parenting self-efficacy among elementary school students. Mother’s parenting self-efficacy was significantly higher as parents’ educational levels increased (p<0.001), as family monthly income level increased (p<0.001), and when father’s job was professional or managing work (p<0.001). Children’s dietary self-efficacy was meaningfully higher when parents’ educational levels were higher (p<0.01), and family income level was higher (p<0.01). Mother’s parenting selfefficacy showed a correlation with children’s dietary self-efficacy (p<0.001). All factors comprising parenting self-efficacy, such as ‘general parenting self-efficacy’ (p<0.001), ‘healthy parenting self-efficacy’ (p<0.001), ‘communication parenting self-efficacy’ (p<0.001), ‘educational parenting self-efficacy’ (p<0.001), and ‘control parenting self-efficacy’ (p<0.001) showed correlation with children’s dietary self-efficacy. It is suggested that in order to improve children’s dietary self-efficacy and mothers’ parenting self-efficacy, families, schools, and communities must put forth a concerted effort. By complementing existing nutritional programs focusing on nutritional knowledge, one can develop a education program and social support to enhance children’s dietary self-efficacy and mothers’ parenting self-efficacy.

Mothers of multi-cultural households become members of unfamiliar Korean society through international marriage and simultaneously experience complex difficulties under the new environment including language problems, economic difficulty, lack of information and support, cultural differences, psychological and social isolation, and conflicts in family values. Furthermore, they receive burden and stress on parenting of children. Within the Korean society taking priority on child-oriented education, they feel unskilled and stressed about difficulty in parenting children. Accordingly in this study, parenting efficacy and parenting stress in mothers of multi-cultural households according to general characteristics were examined in order to study the effect of parenting efficacy in mothers of multi-cultural households on parenting stress. 420 mothers of multi-cultural households visiting four multi-cultural family assistance centers and four social welfare institutions in Ulsan were selected as subjects of this study. Data were collected by survey. As research tools, two tools including parenting sense of competence (PSOC) and parenting stress index (PSI/SF) were used in addition to general social questions. Statistical package SPSS WIN 18.0 was used to analyze research problems based on mean and standard deviation, frequency (N), t-test, and one-way ANOVA. Correlation analysis was conducted to examine the relationship between parenting efficacy and parenting stress in mothers of multi-cultural households, and multiple regression analysis was performed to examine the effect of parenting efficacy on parenting stress. As a result, mean parenting efficacy in mothers of multi-cultural households was 2.63 for efficacy and 2.61 for anxiety. Second, mean parenting stress in mothers of multi-cultural families was 2.42 for learning anticipation, 2.36 for child's disposition, and 2.20 for relationship with child. Third, significant differences were found in educational background and marriage period among parenting efficacy, and in educational background among parenting anxiety. Among parenting stress factors in mothers of multi-cultural households, only child relationship stress and learning anticipation stress showed significant difference from educational background. Fourth, for correlation between parenting efficacy and parenting stress in mothers of multi-cultural households, child's disposition in parenting stress had negative correlation with parent's efficacy in parenting efficacy and significantly positive correlation with parent's anxiety. Child relationship showed negative correlation with parent's efficacy and significantly positive correlation with parent's anxiety. Learning anticipation had negative correlation with parent's efficacy and significantly positive correlation with parent's anxiety. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of parenting efficacy in mothers of multi-cultural households on parenting stress. The meaning of this study is to utilize as data for positive child parenting for mothers of multi-cultural households, to remove their burden on parenting, and further to provide an undertone for social services and policy improvements supporting happy life for mothers, children, and members of multi-cultural households.

허정무 사단법인 인문사회과학기술융합학회 2018 예술인문사회융합멀티미디어논문지 Vol.8 No.12

This study examined the effect of mothers' parenting efficacy after applying parent education programs in daycare centers for mothers. 20 mothers of daycare center were selected for the study. Mothers who applied for participation in parent education program were composed of experimental group. 20 mothers who did not participate in parent education program were selected and compared group. The scale used in this study is the mother's parenting efficacy measure. After the 10th week of the program, post-test was conducted on both the experimental group and the comparative group in order to examine the effect of the parent education program on the change of mother's parenting efficacy. In order to compare the parenting efficacy in the experimental group and the comparison group, the effect of the pre-test score was removed and the covariance analysis was performed with the pre-test score as the covariance so that the pure effect according to the parent education program could be segregated. The effects of parent education programs on the parenting efficacy of mothers were found to improve parenting efficacy. There were statistically significant differences in all four sub-domains that constitute parenting efficacy as well as parenting efficacy. Thus, parent education programs have positive effects on parenting efficacy of mothers. 이 연구에서는 유아기 자녀를 둔 어머니들을 대상으로 어린이집에서 부모교육 프로그램을 적용한후 어머니들의 양육효능감 향상에 미치는 효과를 검증하였다. 어린이집에 자녀를 보내고 있는 어머니 40명을 연구대상으로 선정하였다. 부모교육 프로그램에의 참여를 신청한 어머니 20명을 실험집단으로 구성하였다. 부모교육 프로그램에 참여하지 않는 20명의 어머니들을 선정하여 비교집단을 구성하였다. 이 연구에서 사용된 척도는 어머니의 양육효능감 척도 이다. 10주차에 걸친 프로그램을 종료 후 부모교육 프로그램이 어머니들의 양육효능감 변화에 미치는 효과를 알아보기 위해서 실험집단과 비교집단 모두를 대상으로 사후검사를 실시하였다. 실험집단과 비교집단의 양육효능감을 비교하기 위해 사전검사 점수에 대한 효과를 제거하고 부모교육 프로그램에 따른 순수효과를 분리 검출할 수 있도록 사전검사 점수를 공변량으로 하는 공변량분석을 실시하 였다. 부모교육 프로그램이 어린이집 어머니들의 양육효능감 향상에 미치는 효과를 알아본 결과 양육효 능감이 향상되었으며, 전체 양육효능감 뿐만 아니라 양육효능감을 구성하는 네 가지 하위영역 모두에서 통계적으로 유의미한 차이가 있었다. 따라서 부모교육 프로그램은 어린이집 어머니들의 양육효능감 향상에 긍정적인 효과가 있다고 볼 수 있다.

This study is aimed to examine how parenting self-efficacy and parenting behaviors during parenting affect a child's creative tendency and find effective parenting methods to develop a child's creative tendency. This study was conducted on 187 parents who have 3, 4 and 5 year-old young children attending early childhood education institutions. As research methods, parenting behaviors and parenting self-efficacy were measured to assess parents' child-rearing attitudes. In addition, a child's creative tendency which has child's uniqueness, various interests, independence-patience and imagination-amusement as sub-factors was measured. To measure parenting self-efficacy, a translated and revised scale, which was considered for questions applicable to Korean culture, of 'Perceived Parenting Competence' (Floyd, Gilliom and Costigan, 1998) by Ahn, Jiyoung(2000) was used. To measure parenting behaviors, revised and supplemented data for Korean culture based on 'Iowa Parent Behavior Inventory: Mother form(IPBI: Mother form)' (Crease, Clark and Pease, 1978) by Kim, Jeong-ah(1990) and revised by Kim, Hyunmi(2004) were used. To measure young children's creative tendency, a revised and supplemented method of 'PRID(Preschool and Kindergarten Interest Descriptor)' (Rimm, 1983) by Jeong, Minja(2005) was used. The collected data were analyzed by the SPSS 18.0 program. A reliability analysis was conducted for each questions on parenting behaviors, parenting self-efficacy and creative tendency as well as an analysis of Pearson's correlation for relations between parenting behaviors and a child's creative tendency and relations between parenting self-efficacy and a child's creative tendency. A regression analysis was conducted in order to examine how both parenting self-efficacy and parenting behaviors affect a child's creative tendency. The results of this study showed that parenting behaviors and parenting self-efficacy have a positive correlation with all sub-areas of a child's creative tendency and indicated that parenting self-efficacy and parenting behaviors have an effect on young children's creative tendency. 본 연구는 부모의 자녀 양육 과정에서 갖는 양육효능감과 양육행동이 자녀의 창의적 성향에 미치는 영향을 알아보고, 자녀의 창의적 성향을 발전시키기 위해 효과적인 양육방안을 모색하는데 연구의 목적이 있다. 본 연구의 대상은 유아교육기관의 만 3, 4, 5세 유아의 부모 187명이다. 검사도구로는 부모의 자녀양육태도를 측정하기 위하여 부모의 양육행동과 양육효능감 측정을 하였으며, 자녀의 독특성, 다양한 관심, 독립성-인내, 상상-유희성을 하위요인으로 하는 자녀의 창의성 성향을 측정하였다. 양육효능감을 측정하기 위해 Floyd, Gilliom, 그리고 Costigan(1998)의 ‘Perceived Parenting Competence'를 안지영(2000)이 번안하여 우리나라 문화에 적용 가능한 문항을 고려하여 수정한 척도를 사용하였다. 부모의 양육 행동을 측정하기 위해 Crease, Clark, 그리고 Pease(1978)가 개발한 Iowa Parent Behavior Inventory: Mother form(IPBI: Mother form)을 김정아(1990)가 우리나라의 문화에 알맞게 수정 보완하고 김현미(2004)가 수정한 자료를 사용하였다. 유아의 창의적 성향 측정을 위해 Rimm(1983)의 PRID(Preschool and Kindergarten Interest Descriptor)를 정민자(2005)가 수정·보완한 도구를 사용하였다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS 18.0 프로그램을 통하여 분석하였다. 양육행동, 양육효능감, 창의적 성향에 대한 각문항의 신뢰도를 분석하고, 양육행동과 창의적 성향, 양육효능감과 창의적 성향은 Pearson의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 양육효능감이 자녀의 창의적 성향에 미치는 영향과 양육행동이 자녀의 창의적 성향에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 회귀분석을 하였다. 본 연구결과 부모의 양육행동과 양육효능감은 자녀의 창의적 성향 하위영역 모두와 정적 상관관계를 나타냈으며, 양육효능감과 양육행동은 유아의 창의적 성향에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.

고정국,이정화,오영은 한국가족관계학회 2020 한국가족관계학회지 Vol.25 No.1

Objectives: Increasing female employment in modern society has brought about changes in the perceptions and values of parenting and housework among couples. Although there is a growing interest and involvement of fathers in parenting, there are not many studies examining how paternal parenting self-efficacy is affected by variables. The purpose of this study is to clarify the relationship between these variables and to contribute to the provision of social welfare policies and services related to low birthrates and child rearing. Method: This study was conducted on fathers of preschool children aged 3 to 6 years old, with a total of 401 copies used for the final analysis. Descriptive statistical analysis, ANOVA, correlation, and hierarchical regression analysis were conducted. Results: The average score of paternal parenting involvement was higher than the median score. Parenting stress was generally low and parenting self-efficacy was higher than the median score. Although paternal socio-demographic characteristics did not show a statistically significant difference in parenting self-efficacy, the father’s occupation and the number of days leaving work late affected parenting efficacy. Both the parenting involvement and parenting stress of fathers showed a significant difference in parenting self-efficacy. In the hierarchical regression analysis, father’s age, occupation, the number of days leaving work late, parenting involvement, and parenting stress had a significant effect on parenting self-efficacy. Conclusions: In order to improve paternal parenting self-efficacy, changes to the working environment are needed. Additionally, a system should be established to increase paternal involvement in parenting including measures to cope with parenting stress appropriately.

Objectives The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between Marital Bond, parents’ Parenting Efficacy and Preschool Children’s Emotional Regulation and to investigate Parenting Efficacy plays a mediating role in the relationship between Marital Bond and Preschool Children’s Emotional Regulation. Methods For this purpose, interview and surveys were conducted on 43 pairs of parents with young children aged 3-5 as children and teachers who teaching their children. The Marital Bond was interviewed using The Oral History Interview developed by Krokoff & Gottman (1984) and translated into Korean by Nahm Eun-young (2012), and Parental Parenting Efficacy was measured by parental reporting and Preschool Children’s Emotional Regulation was measured by teacher reporting. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS 21.0 program. First, the correlation between marital Bond, parental parenting efficacy, and preschool children’s emotional regulation was examined, and then the mediating effect of parental parenting efficacy was analyzed. Results As a result of the study, first, it was found that there was a significant correlation between marital bond, mother’s parenting efficacy, and preschool children’s emotional regulation. However, the marital bond was not related to father’s parenting efficacy. Second, it was found that mother’s parenting efficacy partially mediated in the relationship between marital bond and preschool children’s emotional regulation. It can be seen that marital bond not only directly affects the process of affecting preschool children’s emotional regulation, but also indirectly affects the mother’s parenting efficacy. Conclusions These results suggested that marital relationships affect children's emotions through mothers, and discussed ways to improve marital relationships and mother’s parenting efficacy to foster children's emotional regulation. In addition, A future study is needed to examine the reason for not showing a significant relationship with father’s parenting efficacy.
