다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study aimed to investigate whether the parenting stress of mothers exerts a mediating effect on the relationship between the adult attachment of mothers and emotional regulation of infants. In this study, the adult attachment of mothers was measured using ECRR-K, which is a measure translated and modified by Kim Sung-hyun (2004) , whereas the parenting stress of mothers was determined using a measure modified by Kong Tae-ri (2017). Moreover, the emotional regulation of infants was evaluated using the modified by Park Ye-rang (2017). Data analysis was conducted in accordance with the characteristics and objective of the study. Further, correlation, multiple regression, and hierarchical multiple regression analyses were performed. First, the study found that the relationship among the adult attachment of mothers, parenting stress of mothers, and the emotional regulation of infants was significant. Second, the relationship between the adult attachment of mothers, parenting stress of mothers, and the emotional regulation of infants exerted a significant impact on one another. Lastly, the parenting stress of mothers partially mediated the relationship between the adult attachment of mothers and the emotional regulation of infants. These findings are valuable because they can be used as meaningful data for improving emotional regulation among infants and as a basis for acquiring appropriate parenting skills by identifying the importance of the adult attachment and parenting stress of mothers.

본 연구는 어머니의 성인애착과 유아의 정서조절능력 간의 관계에서 어머니의 양육스트레스가 매개효과를 갖는지 살펴보기 위한 것이다. 본 연구에서 어머니의 성인애착은 김성현이 번안한 척도인 ECRR-K를 사용하였고, 공태리(2017)에 의해 수정된 어머니의 양육스트레스 척도가 사용되었고, 유아의 정서조절능력은 박예랑(2017)이 번안한 척도를 사용하였다. 자료분석은 연구의 특성과 목적에 맞추어 상관분석과 다중회귀분석, 위계적 중다회귀분석을 실시하였다. 첫째, 어머니의 성인애착과 어머니의 양육스트레스, 유아의 정서조절능력의 관계는 유의한 상관이 나타났다. 둘째, 어머니의 성인애착과 양육스트레스, 유아의 정서조절능력 각각의 하위요인들간의 관계는 서로 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 어머니의 성인애착과 유아의 정서조절능력 간의 관계에서 어머니의 양육스트레스가 부분 매개하였다. 이러한 연구결과는 유아기 자녀의 정서조절능력 발달에 대해 어머니의 성인애착의 중요성과 양육스트레스의 매개적 역할을 확인함으로써 유아기 자녀의 정서조절능력 증진을 위한 의미 있는 자료와 어머니의 적절한 양육 기술을 습득하기 위한 기초 자료로 활용될 수 있다는 점에서 본 연구의 가치가 있다.
