재혼가정, 일반가정 아동의 개인·양육 특성들이 아동의 행동 및 정서적 발달에 미치는 영향연구 = The Effects of Individual & Parenting Characteristics on the Behavioral and Emotional Developments of Remarried and Intact Children

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

To better understand the rights of children in remarried families compared to those of intact families and to examine determinants of perceived emotional·behavioral risks, data were collected from 992 male and female elementary students in intact families and 159 male and female elementary students in remarried families. Subjects completed a questionnaire on perceived emotional·behavioral variables measured by CBCL sub-scales such as anxiety/depression, withdrawal, and aggressiveness as well as selected socio-demographic factors and child rights related variables.
The results showed that the socio-demographic characteristics and the child right conditions of the child in remarried families were more likely to be different from those in intact families. The problematic emotional and behavioral symptoms of the child in remarried families were common compared to those among children raised in intact families, showing that depressive, withdrawal, and aggressive behavioral symptoms were 59.57%, 23.9%, 22% respectively in children from remarried families whereas were only 16.3%, 4%, and 2.9% respectively in children from intact families. Regression analyses further indicated that child rights related variables are important determinants of perceived emotional and behavioral problems among children from remarried families.
Efforts to develop treatment and protective programs are recommended as an essential part to buffer the negative emotional·behavioral effects caused by new partnership, and to improve the rights of children in remarried families.
