Abstract

This study examines the effects of single mother's economic stress in social competence of children perceived by parents and whether mother-child relationship satisfaction mediate in the process. The results of analysis of the path through the structural equation modeling are as follows: First, single mother's economic stress has negative effects on mother-child relationship satisfaction. Second, mother-child relationship satisfaction has positive effects on social competence of children. It was proved that mother-child relationship satisfaction exerted as mediating variables. Therefore, existent mother-child relationship satisfaction have full mediated effects on the relationship between economic stress and social competence of children. Based on the findings, practice implications to improve social competence of single mothers' children were discussed.

본 연구는 여성 한부모의 경제적 스트레스가 자녀의 사회적 유능감에 미치는 영향을 알아보고, 그 과정에서 모-자녀 관계 만족도가 어떠한 역할을 하는지를 파악하는데 그 목적을 두고 있다. 즉, 여성 한부모의 경제적 스트레스가 자녀의 사회적 유능감에 직접적인 영향을 미치는지, 모-자녀 관계 만족도를 매개로 간접적인 영향을 주는지에 대해 검증하였다. 구조방정식 모형을 통해 경로를 분석한 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 여성 한부모의 경제적 스트레스는 모-자녀 관계 만족도에 부적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 여성 한부모의 경제적 스트레스는 모-자녀 관계 만족도를 매개로 해서 자녀의 사회적 유능감에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 여성 한부모의 경제적 스트레스는 직접적으로는 자녀의 사회적 유능감에 미치지 않고 모-자녀 관계 만족도를 통해서 간접적으로 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서, 여성 한부의 경제적 스트레스가 자녀의 사회적 유능감에 미치는 영향에 있어서 모-자녀 관계 만족도가 완전 매개역할을 하는 것으로 입증되었다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 여성 한부모 자녀의 사회적 유능감을 증진시키기 위한 실천적 함의들이 논의 되었다.
