Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the mutual relationship between parenting stress and children's problem behaviors among those participating in dream start services. In order to verify the effect of parental and child effects on child's problem behavior and parenting stress based on repeated measures from the first grade of elementary school to the third grade of elementary school among children participating in dream start services, autoregressive cross-lagged modeling was applied. As a result, the stability coefficient showed that the two variables were significantly stable for 3 years. In other words, the measurement was maintained at a similar level with time. The causal relationship between parents 'parenting stress and child' s problem behavior was generally explained by the parental effect. In other words, parental stress is related to the child's problem behavior. These results show that the economic stress of poverty increases parents' parenting stress, which can negatively affect the adaptive development of children in the process of raising children.

본 연구의 목적은 드림스타트 사업에 참여한 저소득층 가정 양육자의 양육스트레스와 아동의 문제행동 간의 상호 인과적 관계를 확인하는 것이다. 연구 대상은 드림스타트 사업에 참여한 아동과 양육자이며, 2015년에 초등학교 1학년인 아동과 양육자를 3년 간 추적 조사하여 2017년까지 참여한 대상자의 자료를 반복 측정 하였다. 연구 방법은 양육자의 양육스트레스와 아동의 문제행동 간의 종단적 발달에 적용하는 아동 효과 및 양육자 효과를 검증하기 위해 자귀회귀교차지연효과모형을 적용하였다. 연구 결과 양육자의 양육스트레스와 아동의 문제행동의 자기회귀 계수가 모두 유의미하여 3년에 걸친 연구기간 동안 높은 수준의 안정성이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 시간의 흐름에 따라 양육스트레스는 비슷한 수준을 유지하고 있음을 의미한다. 또한 양육자의 양육스트레스와 아동의 문제행동 간 인과관계의 원인은 주로 양육자 효과로 설명 되었다. 즉 양육자의 양육스트레스로 인해 아동의 문제행동이 나타나는 것이다. 위의 결과들을 통해 저소득층 가정은 경제적 압박감으로 인해 양육자의 양육스트레스가 가중되고 누적되어 자녀와의 부정적인 상호작용으로 이어져 결국 아동의 문제행동으로 이어질 수 있음을 확인하였다. 저소득층 가정의 누적된 양육스트레스를 경감하기 위해 다양한 양육자의 심리적 지원 방안이 강화되어야 함을 제언하였다.
