Abstract

The study examined the mediated-moderation effect of parental reflection levels from maternal childhood experiences by the parents to mother's reaction to negative emotions of their preschoolers by examining it through the lens of parental role satisfaction. The participants in this study were 327 mothers who and their infants aged 3-6 years. They completed questionnaires on the maternal childhood experiences scale, parental reflection scale, parental role satisfaction scale and mother's reaction to negative emotions of their preschoolers scale. The results of the structural equation model analysis are as follows. First, a mediating model revealed that the relationship between maternal childhood experiences by parents and mother's reactions to negative emotions of their preschoolers was mediated by parental role satisfaction. Second, the results revealed the moderation effect of parents reflection levels on the relationship between maternal childhood experiences by parents and parental role satisfaction. Finally, parental reflection levels were also seen to have a mediated moderation effect of parental reflection level from maternal childhood experiences to mother's reaction to negative emotions of their preschoolers through parental role satisfaction. These results indicate the importance of parental reflection and parental role satisfaction.

본 연구에서는 유아의 부정적 정서에 대한 어머니 반응에 영향을 미치는 어머니의 아동기 수용경험의 관계에서 부모역할만족도가 매개할 것이라는 가설과 부모성찰의 조절효과를 확인하는 매개된 조절 모형을 설정하였고 구조방정식 모델 분석으로 검증하였다. 본 연구는 만 3~6세 유아를 키우는 어머니 327명이 참여하였고, 아동기 수용경험 척도, 부모성찰 척도, 부모역할만족도 척도, 유아의 부정적 정서에 대한 어머니 반응 척도를 사용하였다. 연구모델의 분석 결과는 첫째, 아동기 수용 경험과 유아의 부정적 정서에 대한 어머니 반응에서 부모역할만족도의 매개효과가 유의하게 나타났다. 즉, 어머니가 원부모의 양육방식을 수용적으로 지각할수록 부모역할만족도는 높아지고 이는 유아의 부정적 정서에 대한 어머니 반응에 영향을 미치고 있음을 의미한다. 다음으로 어머니의 아동기 수용 경험과 부모역할만족도 간의 관계에서 부모성찰의 조절효과는 유의하게 나타났다. 이는 아동기 수용 경험과 부모역할만족도의 조절효과를 살펴보면 어머니가 아동기 원부모에게 받은 양육경험을 거부적으로 지각하더라도 부모성찰 수준이 높을 경우에는 부모역할만족도가 높아지는 효과가 있을 것으로 나타났다. 마지막으로 아동기 수용 경험, 부모성찰 그리고 아동기 수용 경험과 부모성찰의 상호작용 변수가 유아의 부정적 정서에 대한 어머니 반응에 미치는 영향에서 부모역할만족도가 매개변수로 투입된 매개된 조절효과가 유의한 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같은 결과는 어머니가 원부모와의 양육에서 수용 받는 경험이 적으면 자신의 자녀를 키우면서 부모역할만족도가 낮아질 수 있지만, 자녀에 대한 이해와 부모역할에 대한 이해가 높을 경우 부모역할 만족도를 높여 어머니의 지지적 반응으로 이어짐을 의미한다. 본 연구 결과를 통해 부모상담과 부모교육의 방향성 및 개입방안의 변화를 이끌기 위한 근거로 활용될 수 있을 것을 시사하는 바이다.
