개인적 변인 및 환경적 변인이 아동의 유능감에 미치는 영향

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study investigated the effects of personal (gender, school grade and causal attribution for success and failure) and environmental (mother`s evaluation of their children and mother`s efficacy) variables on children`s perceived competence. The subjects were 595 fourth and sixth graders and their mothers selected from 3 elementary schools in Pusan. Children`s perceived competence was studied under 3 categories : scholastic, social, and athletic competence. Data were analyzed by SAS/PC＋ program. Internal attribution for the success had a positive influence on perceived competence while internal attribution for failure had a negative influence on perceived competence. Mother`s evaluation of their children had a stronger influence on perceived competence than mother`s efficacy. Mother`s evaluation of their children was the most influential variable in all 3 categories of competence while secondary and tertiary variables varied by internal attribution for success or failure and by gender.
