어머니의 취업이 양육태도 및 아동의 성격에 미치는 영향 = The Effect of Maternal Employment on the Perceived Attitude of Child Rearing Attitude and Children's Personality

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The aim of this study is to analyze the influences of the mother's employment on her child rearing attitude and her children's personality. And the subdivisicnal aim is to provide aids for mothers who are at work about desirable child education by investigating a) the influence of mother's employment status on her child rearing attitude and her children's personality, b) the realtionship between mother's child rearing attitude perceived by children and children's personality, c) the realtionship between mother's recognition of her employment and her children's personality.
In order to analyze above tasks I randomly selected 180 persons who are 60 sixth grade students and their mothers at work and 60 sixth grade students whose mothers are not at work respectively at elementary schools in Cheonan.
One-way analysis of variance was employed using mothers employment status as independent variable and child rearing attitude scores observed by children and children'personality as dependent variables. And I tested the relationship among mother's child rearing attitude, mother's recognition of her employment, and her children's personality by computing Pearson product moment correlation coefficient.
The results of this analysis are summed up as follows. Mother's employment influenced children's personality partly but not entirely and there was no significant difference in mother's child rearing attitude according to mother's employment status. Also irrespective of mother's employment status children who are conscious of their mother's child rearing attitude as receptive are shown to have more self-control and responsibility and children whose mother experienced difficuilties in childbirth owing to employment are conscious of much more achievement pressure.
In short, because children's personality development is much more influenced by mother's child rearing attitude than by mother's employment status, mothers at work should have desirable nurturing attitude and by qualitatively enhancing the time which mother interacts with children.
