Abstract

This study had two aims (1) to explore the trajectory of family functioning (flexibility and cohesion) in the mothers' perspective and classify it according to the development of their child, and (2) to examine the differences in children's self-esteem as well the internal and external behavioral problems based on the latent groups. A total of 1,348 mothers and their children who participated in the survey in 2013 through to 2017 were analyzed. The group was subdivided into low incremental, average incremental, average-above incremental, and high unchanged groups according to the flexibility, and into low incremental, average incremental, decremental, high incremental, and above-high unchanged groups in terms of cohesion. From 2015 to 2017, the self-esteem of elementary school-age children showed differences depending on the flexibility and cohesion of family functioning; children in the high-unchanged group of flexibility and the above-high unchanged group of cohesion showed high self-esteem. Behavior problems of early childhood and elementary school-age children varied according to the latent classes of flexibility and the cohesion of family functioning. Children in low incremental and average incremental groups of flexibility and low incremental, average incremental, and decremental groups of cohesion showed more internal and external behavioral problems. These findings suggest that family functioning has significant effects on the psychological aspects of children.

본 연구의 목적은 어머니가 지각한 가족기능(유연성, 응집성)이 자녀가 성장하는 과정에서 어떤 양상으로 변화하는지 확인하고, 변화 양상에 기초한 잠재계층에 따라 자녀의 자아존중감, 내재화 및 외현화 문제행동에 차이가 있는지 살펴보는 것이다. 잠재계층 확인을 위해 3개 시점의 자료(2013년, 2014년, 2016년), 자아존중감과 문제행동 차이 검증을 위해 5개년도 자료(2013년-2017년)를 사용하였으며, 분석 대상은 1,348명이다. 분석 결과, 첫째, 잠재계층성장분석을 적용했을 때 유연성은 저수준 증가형 집단, 중수준 증가형 집단, 중상수준 증가형 집단, 상수준 무변화형 집단, 응집성은 저수준 증가형 집단, 중수준 증가형 집단, 감소형 집단, 상수준 증가형 집단, 최상수준 무변화형 집단이 확인되었다. 둘째, 초등학령기에 해당하는 2015년(초1), 2016년(초2), 2017년(초3) 모두 유연성, 응집성의 잠재계층에 따라 자아존중감 수준에 차이가 확인되었으며, 대체로 유연성은 상수준 무변화형 집단, 응집성은 최상수준 무변화형 집단 자녀의 자아존중감이 높은 것으로 확인되었다. 셋째, 유아기에 해당하는 2013년, 2014년, 초등학령기에 해당하는 2015년(초1), 2017년(초3) 모두 유연성, 응집성의 잠재계층에 따라 내재화, 외현화 문제행동 수준에 차이가 확인되었으며, 유연성은 저수준 증가형 집단, 중수준 증가형 집단, 응집성은 저수준 증가형 집단, 중수준 증가형 집단, 감소형 집단의 내재화, 외현화 문제행동 수준이 높은 것으로 확인되었다. 본 연구는 잘 기능하는 가족 시스템이 자녀의 심리사회적 적응 과정에 중요한 역할을 하는 것을 시사한다.
