Abstract

The present study examined variables relevant to problem solving in childhood to determine predictive contributions of such variables as parenting style, child's temperament, self-esteem, depression, and self-efficacy. Subjects were 545 2nd, 4th, 6th grade elementary school children and their parents. Data were analyzed with bivariate correlation, multiple regression, and step-wise multiple regression. Results indicated that child's temperament and self-efficacy were significantly correlated with problem-solving, and self-efficacy was the most critical predictor of problem solving.
