This study was to investigate the following research questions. (1) Are there any gender differences in the mother's socialization-patterns and child's self-concept? (2) Is there any relationship between mother's socialization-patterns and child's self-concept? (3) Is child's self-concept influenced by the mother's socialization-patterns and child's gender? The subjects of this study were 235 boys and 207 girls attending elementary schools in Busan. Lee, Kyung-Hee's questionnaires(1993) on mother's socialization patterns and Kim, Ki-Jung's questionnaires(1984) on child's academic self-concept and Kim, Hee-Kyung's questionnaires(1990) on child's physical, home, social self-concept were used.
The results were as follows:
1)The mother's imperative mode for boys differed significantly from that for girls. Boys perceived mother's socialization-patterns as more imperative. And boy's physical self-concept and academic self-concept differed significantly from girl's. Boy had higher scores than girl in physical self-concept and academic self-concept.
2)There were significantly correlations between mother's position-oriented mode and boy's self-concept, between mother's poison-oriented mode and boy's self-concept.
3)The mother's poison-oriented mode was the predictor variable influencing on child's academic self-concept. And the mother's position-oriented mode and the mother's person-oriented mode were the predictor variables influencing on child's home self-concept.
