어머니의 심리통제 및 행동통제가 유아의 공격성에 미치는 영향: 유아 자아탄력성의 매개효과를 중심으로 = The effects of mothers’ psychological and behavioral control on childhood aggression: the mediating effects of children’s ego resilience

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study investigated the effects of mothers’ psychological and behavioral control on children’s aggression, to find out whether children’s ego resilience has a mediating effect between these variables. Date were collected from 268 children aged 4-5 and their mothers. The children were enrolled in 11 daycare centers located in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS 22.0 and AMOS 21.0 programs. The results revealed that mothers’ psychological control had a positive effect on children’s aggression, while their’ behavioral control had no significant effect.
However, mothers’ psychological control had a negative effect on children’s ego resilience, while their behavioral control had a positive effect. While mothers’ behavioral control did not have a direct effect on children’s aggression, it had the indirect effect of reducing aggression through the mediation of enhancing children’s ego resilience. The study thus provides a concrete, multifaceted framework for reducing aggression in children by examining the influence of mothers’ psychological and behavioral control, which are parental variables, and ego resilience, which is an individual child’s variable, on childhood aggression.
