The purpose of this study was to research into the effects of parents' rearing attitude and teachers' guidance attitude on children. There was the limitation to research into children complexly affected by parents and teachers, since the relation only between parents and children or between teachers and children was investigated in preceding studies, even it was known that parents and teachers had a considerable effect on children. Therefore, in order to overcome the limitation, both parents and teachers were suggested as factors that had an effect on children. In this study, self-concept and sociality were used as a standard to investigate how they specifically affected children.
246 students from an elementary school in Yong-in were randomly selected for sampling. Parents' rearing attitude and teachers' guidance attitude recognized by students, self-concept, and sociality were investigated through a questionnaire. Parenting rearing attitude and teachers' guidance attitude were divided into affection-avoidance, autonomy-control, achievement-non achievement, and rationality-irrationality to study the effects on children's self-concept and sociality. Correlation of variables and multiple regression analysis to examine the qualitative differences between parenting attitudes and teachers' guidance attitude were conducted.
The results could be summarized as below.
First, as the effects of parents' rearing attitude on students, it was found that children's self-concept was getting higher in simple correlation, as they highly recognized parents' affection, autonomy, achievement and rationality. It was researched that parents' achievement-centered rearing attitude had a serious effect on children's self-concept, as only significance of parents' achievement were statistically appeared after multiple regression analysis. Parents' rearing attitude was more effective in children's self-concept than teachers' guidance attitude.
Second, as the effects of parents' rearing attitude on children's sociality, when parents were affectionate, autonomous, achievement-centered and rational, children got high sociality in simple correlation. Also, when the grade of children was getting higher, their sociality was getting lower. After multiple regression analysis, it was understood that parents' achievement-centered rearing attitude was a prior factor to draw children's self-concept, as being significant only in parents' achievement.
Third, for the effects of teachers' guidance attitude on children's self-concept, since they considerably recognized teachers' affection, achievement, rationality, their self-concept was getting higher in simple correlation. As they were going to higher grade, self-concept was getting lower. As statistical significance was only appeared in teachers' affection from the result of multiple regression analysis, teachers' guidance attitude was an important factor to form children's self-concept.
Fourth, for the effects of teachers' guidance attitude on children's sociality, when highly recognizing teachers' affection, achievement, rationality, children got deep sociality in simple correlation. After multiple regression analysis, as statistical significance was appeared only in teachers' affection, it was considered that teachers' guidance attitude was an essential factor to draw children's sociality. Teachers' guidance attitude was more effective in children's sociality than parents' rearing attitude.
Through the results, the effects of parents and teachers on children were studied. Also, it was understood that children were able to have high self-concept and sociality, when parents were achievement-centered and teachers were affectionate at once. Self-concept and sociality was reduced, when children were in higher grade. Self-concept was more affected by parents, and sociality was more affected by teachers. It is necessary to find the plans to raise children's self-concept and sociality using proper parents' rearing attitude and teachers' guidance attitude.
