The purpose of this study is to find the influencing of infant's pro-social behavior from the breeding attitude of mother.
In order to accomplish such study purpose, the following study questions were established.
[Study question 1] What is the breeding attitude type of mother for her child, depending on the age, attainments in scholarship, and the existence of her occupation?
[Study question 2] What is the extinguishing aspect according to sex and age in the pro-social behavior of infant?
[Study question 3] What is the relation between the breeding attitude type of mother for her child and the pro-social behavior of infant?
In the study method, the collecting objects were 274 infants of three, four, and five years old who are attending the kindergartens in Suwon and Osan region and 274 mothers of the infants, besides, the used investigation tool was the test with which we can investigate the breeding attitude of mother and infant's pro-social behavior.
The collected materials in this study was treated by computer with SPSSWIN 8.0, and t-verification and f-verification were used in the statistical treatment.
The conclusion from above study result and discussion were followings.
First, as a result of researching the breeding attitude type of mother in statistically, there was a meaningful difference in the age and occupation and not in the attainments in scholarship. While there were many warmhearted and receptive attitudes in the mother of 20's and 30's, and many refusal and punishing breeding attitudes in the mother of 40's. Besides, the mother of warmhearted and receptive breeding attitude held a majority and over in the mother who had not any occupation, but three types were distributed evenly in the mother who had an occupation.
Second, in the relation between the sex, age, and prosocial behavior of infant, there was no meaningful difference statistically between the sex and prosocial behavior of infant. It means there is no interrelation in the pro-social behavior of infant depending on the sex of infant, which was introduced in the study question 2.
There was a meaningful difference in the relation between the age and prosocial behavior of infant, and it showed the higher the age was, the more the prosocial behavior showed. In the forming capacity of personal relations and the adapting capacity of kindergarten, the higher the age is, the higher grade it showed, but the infants of three years old showed higher grade than that of infants of four or five years old. Such result could be considered that infant acted pro-socially to other person as they had sufficient experiences socially, and was developed to the orientation to which infant acted according to the internalized motive and personal principle in the aspect of compensation and punishment from the outside.
Accordingly, it could be considered on the basis of supporting the theory that infant's social recognition capacity was developed as the age of infant was increased, and infant's prosocial behavior was increased through the opportunity of imitative learning and directional instructions.
Third, in the breeding attitude type of mother, it indicated that warmhearted and receptive breeding attitude was majority, following the permitting and let-alone breeding attitude, and next, refusal and punishing breeding attitude. A meaningful difference showed between the breeding attitude and prosocial behavior of mother. The prosocial behavior (adapting capacity of kindergarten, forming capacity of personal relations, and control capacity of individual sense) of infant showed in the highest level when the breeding attitude of mother was warmhearted and receptive. However, no meaningful difference showed in the forming capacity of personal relations statistically.
Then, a conclusion can be considered that the warmhearted and receptive breeding attitude of mother centering round infant is just the attitude that could raise the prosocial behavior of infant.
