In the study, it was attempted to understand mothers'subjective nurturing attitude depending on their circumstances or situation, who have developmental disability children, by categorizing their nurturing attitude and analyzing the characteristics. Among mothers with developmental disability children in Seoul, 33 mothers were selected at random from August 25th to 29th, 2001, using 43 Q-sample, and then the data from P-sample were analyzed.
As the results, mothers are categorized into 3 types.
First, mothers of optimistic devotion type, were characterized as nurturing their children with confidence from optimistic mind toward the future. They preferred such education as suitable to make their children independent, and though coersive way of nurturing may be necessary to let the children acquire the right behavior. Also, compared with mothers of other type, they had strong remorse, devotion to their children, and even overprotective tendency. Besides, they respected children's character value, accepted unconditionally them as their children, and rebuilt and changed their life through their children.
Second. pessimistic negative mothers were characterized as who felt burdened in nurturing their children from pessimistic thought toward the future. So, they asked eagerly for governmental support and desired to go abroad where nurturing circumstances are more better. They paid too much attention to other people's thought and socially biased views so that they denied their children and eagerly wanted to have rest out of them. Also, the hard nurturing procedure made mothers have negative value system. But in education, because they respect their children's value as an humanbeing, they emphasized strongly the necessity of early-education and lifelong education, and required their children to respond actively to the peers.
Third, positively accepting mothers were characterized as who accept that their children is disabled, and nurture their children doing their best at present not in the nebulous future by facing their children as they are. So, they made specific efforts in realities such as explaining in detail to their children, visiting regularly a doctor, and trying to help their family accept the children. Also, they thought governmental supports are necessary. That is, they intended to see their children and think what is needed now objectively at a 3rd party's position. Also, they were few in remorse and thought they could do nurturing and their jobs at the same time. For education, they considered the integrated education desirable but wanted to educate their children naturally in the life without giving them stress. They enjoyed the time with their children and thought their life got abundant and ripen through the nurturing.
