Abstract

This study examined the effects of mothers' rejective parenting, emotional expressivity, children's emotional regulation strategy on their social withdrawal. Participants were 223 children(121 boys, 102 girls; recruited from classes with 4-5 year olds), their mothers and 20 child care teachers. The teachers completed rating scales to measure the children's social withdrawal and emotional regulation strategies. Mothers reported their rejective parenting along with emotional expressivity. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson's productive correlation coefficient, and hierarchical multiple regressions. Results showed that mothers' rejective parenting, children's venting/support seeking strategy and avoidance/non-responsive strategy had positive relation to, whereas mother's positive expressivity were negatively related to their social withdrawal. Hierarchical regression analysis indicated that the interaction of mother's rejective parenting and positive expressivity predicted children's social withdrawal. Mother's rejective parenting was associated with children's social withdrawal, especially for children with the lowest level of mother's positive expressivity. In addition, the association between mother's rejective parenting and children's social withdrawal were partially mediated by their venting/support seeking strategy.

본 연구는 유아의 사회적 위축에 관심을 가지고, 어머니의 거부적 양육행동과 정서표현성 및 유아의 정서조절전략이 사회적 위축에 어떠한 방식으로 영향을 미치는지 알아보고자 하였다. 구체적으로 어머니의 거부적 양육행동이 사회적 위축에 미치는 영향을 어머니의 정서표현성이 중재하는지, 유아의 정서조절전략이 매개하는지를 살펴보았다. 이를 위하여 어린이집의 만 4, 5세 학급 유아 223명(남아 121명, 여아 102명)과 그들의 어머니, 그리고 담임교사 20명을 대상으로 하였다. 연구 결과, 유아의 사회적 위축에 대하여 어머니의 거부적 양육행동은 정적 상관을, 긍정적 정서표현성은 부적 상관을, 유아의 정서조절전략 중 감정발산 교사지원전략, 회피 무반응 전략은 정적 상관관계를 보였다. 다음으로 사회적 위축에 대한 어머니의 거부적 양육행동의 영향을 긍정적 정서표현성이 중재하였다. 즉, 어머니의 거부적 양육행동과 유아의 사회적 위축의 관계는 어머니의 긍정적 정서표현성 수준이 낮은 경우에만 유의하였다. 마지막으로 어머니의 거부적 양육행동이 유아의 사회적 위축에 미치는 영향은 정서조절전략 중 감정발산 교사지원전략이 부분 매개하였다.
