가정환경과 아동의 자기 - 효능감간의 인과모형 탐색

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study investigated sex differences in children`s self-efficacy and causal relationships between children`s self-efficacy and home environment. The home environment factors included mother`s efficacy, marital satisfaction, child rearing attitudes, and socio-economic status. The subjects were 491 fifth and sixth grade children and their mothers. The data were analyzed by t-test using the SAS PC^+ program and covariance structural analysis using the PC-LISREL VI. The results showed that there were no sex differences in children`s global self-efficacy level, but there were sex differences in some subfactors. Furthermore, we found that the same causal model appears for both sexs in the relationship between home environment and children`s self-efficacy. That is, socio-economic status of the home and mother`s psychological factors influenced mother`s attitudes for child rearing which had a direct impact on children`s self-efficacy.
