Abstract

This study examined the effects of the mothers' sense of humor, ego-resilience on the maternal behavior. 187 mothers of 24~36 month old children completed the questionnaires. To analyze the data, descriptive statistics, Pearson's co-relation and hierarchical regression analysis were used. The results were as follows. First, concerning the mothers' personal variables, the mean of the sense of humor, ego-resilience, and maternal behavior were relatively high. Second, the mothers' sense of humor and its sub-scales, except as a copying strategy, and ego-resilience had a positive co-relation with the maternal behavior and its sub-scales. Lastly, the mothers' sense of humor and its sub-scales, and ego-resilience were significant variables to influence the maternal behavior. As stated above, the ways were discussed to improve the mothers' sense of humor and ego-resilience.

본 연구는 영아기 자녀를 둔 어머니의 유머감각과 자아탄력성이 양육행동에 미치는 영향을 분석하고자 하였다. 서울시 소재 어린이집 만2세반에 재원 자녀를 둔 어머니 187명을 대상으로 자기보고식 형태의 설문조사를 하였고, 평균과 표준편차, Pearson의 상관관계, 위계적 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 어머니의 일반배경변인에 따른 유머감각, 자아탄력성과 양육행동은 각각의 하위 영역에서 비교적 높은 평균점수를 나타내었다. 둘째, 어머니의 유머감각은 대처전략을 제외한 세 하위 영역이 양육행동의 세 하위 영역과 긍정적인 상관관계를 나타내었고, 어머니의 자아탄력성도 세 변인과 모두 유의미한 긍정적 상관관계를 보였다. 마지막으로 어머니의 유머감각과 자아탄력성은 사회적 양육행동, 교수적 양육행동, 긍정한계설정 양육행동을 각 41, 39, 28% 정도 설명하였고, 정서적 표현성과 자아탄력성, 스트레스대처전략이 유의미한 영향력을 가진 변인이었다. 이상의 결과를 바탕으로 어머니의 양육행동에 영향을 미치는 유머감각과 자아탄력성의 중요성을 확인하고 이를 함양할 수 있는 방안들을 논의하였다.
