SPSS 18.0 and AMOS 18.0 were used to analysis procedure. The results were as follows: first, the mother's child-based self-worth, dysfunctional parent-child interaction, and depression were positively correlated to one another. Second, dysfunctional parent-child interaction fully mediated the relationship between the mother's child-based self-worth and depression. Lastly, this study discussed significance and limitations of this study, as well as proposals for future research.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of the actor and partner effects of the parental sex-role attitude on the parent-child relationship by using the Actor-Partner Interdependence Model (APIM). Specifically, this study focused on the examination of the actor and partner effects of the parental sex-role attitude in married couples with immigrant women who have children under 5 years old. For the analyses, a total of 5,531 couples who participated in the National Survey on Multi-cultural Families were included and the major findings are as follows. First, the couple's sex-role attitude had a statistically significant actor effect on the parent-child relationship. Parents who were more conscious of gender equality displayed a better parent-child relationship and this effect was greater in the case of the father's attitude than the mother's. Second, the father's sex-role attitude had a statistically significant partner effect on the mother-child relationship, whereas the mother's attitude did not. Third, the couple's actor effects were greater than their partner effects and this means that the personal sex-role attitude has a greater impact on the parent-child relationship than the partners' attitude. The implication and limitations derived from these empirical-scientific database results and related studies in educational program of gender equality attitude for multi-cultural families.

본 연구의 일차적 목적은 어머니의 특성과 관련된 요인들이 양육효능감에 미치는 영향을 살펴보고, 양육효능감이 어머니의 특성과 관련된 요인들과 자녀양육 행동과의 관계에서 매개역할을 하는 것인가를 분석하였다. 그리고 양육효능감, 자녀 양육행동, 아동 발달과의 상관관계를 살펴보았다 미국 내 거주하는 Early Head Start 프로그램 의 수혜 자인 저 소득층의 어머니와 영 아들을 (출생∼36개월) 대상으로 한 본 연구결과에 의하면 어머니의 특성과 관련된 요인들로 어머니의 연령, 소득수준, 양육에서 오는 스트레스가 양육효능감에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 양육효능감은 어머니의 특성과 관련된 요인, 특히 어머니의 연령과 양육행동과의 관계에서 매개역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다 양육효능감, 양육행동, 아동발달과의 상관관계 분석에서는 양육효능감과 양육행동에서만 유의한 정적인 강관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 지금까지의 선행연구들과는 맥을 같이하는 연구결과이지만, 저소득층(high-risk families)의 어머니와 영아를 대상으로 양육효능감을 포괄적이고 체계적으로 이해하고자 하였다는데서 의의를 찾을 수 있다. 나아가, 이 연구의 결과는 저소득층을 위한 아동 및 가족의 통합적 복지사업을 실천하는데 있어 의미가 있는 것으로 시사된다. 사회 경제적 자립을 위한 기회 제공과 자녀양육을 하는데 있어서 전문가의 직접적인 모델링을 통한 부모교육을 통해서 양육효능감을 향상시켜나갈 때, 아동 및 가족 복지 실현의 궁국적 목적을 이룰 수 있을 것이다.

The purpose of this study was to provide better understanding of longitudinal effects of early maternal employment on mother-child relationship using 1364 families participating the NICHD Study of Early Child Care in the U.S. Based on the information on maternal employment from 6 months after the child's birth, three employment groups were created: mothers who had always worked more than 30 hours per week, mother who had worked part-time or had been inconsistently employed, and mothers who had never worked. At 36 months, mothers who had extensively employed for the first 36 months showed significantly lower level of supportive presence compared to mothers who had never worked. Mothers who had partly employed for the first year of child's life displayed higher level of supportive presence at 36 months compared to mothers in the other two 12 month employment groups. No other significant employment group differences were found in the mothers' respect for child's autonomy and hostility at 36 months. At first grade, mothers in three employment groups were not different in their relationship with their child. The findings suggested that maternal employment, specifically early extensive maternal employment, does not consistently predict lower quality of mother-child interaction in two or three years later.

부모-자녀관계의 주된 역할자인 기혼여성과 어머니(시어머니, 친정어미니) 간에 교류되고 있는 정서적 경제적 서비스 지지의 제공과 수혜를 조사하여 봄으로써 부모-자녀관 계의 변화를 추론해보고자한다. 본 연구결과 기혼여성은 시어머니와의 관계에서는 정서적 경제적 서비스 지지의 수혜보다 제공을 많이 하였으며 친정어머니와의 관계에서는 지지의 제공보다 수혜를 많이 받는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 시어머니와 친정어머니간의 지지를 비교해 본결과 정서적 지지는 제공과 수혜 모두 시어머니보다 혈연관계인 친정어머니와의 사이에서 많이 교류되고 있으며 경제적 서비스 지지는 제공은 시어머니에게 많은 하고 수혜는 친정어머니로부터 많이 받는 것으로 나타났다. 이렇게 친정으로부터 지원받고 시가에는 봉사하는 '친정지원,시가봉사'의 이중적인 가족구조는 기혼여성에서 전통적으로 부과되어온 시부모부양의 의무를 계속 가질 뿐 아니라 친정에도 봉사하며 양가관계를 유지해야 이중부담 을 갖게 되는 문제점으로 나타날 수 있다.

The research investigates the attitudes toward children among mothers young children and maternal grandmothers, focusing specifically on the ideal number of children, gender preference, old age security and positive and negative values of children. A total of 442 respondents, consisting of 221 young mothers (average age of 35) and 221 maternal grandmothers (average age of 63) completed a questionnaire developed by Kim, Park and Kwon (2005). The reliability of the scales ranged from Cronbach α of .78 to .91. The results are as follows. First, as for the ideal number of children, young mothers reported that they would prefer two children, while grandmothers reported that they would prefer four children. As for the ideal number of male child, young mothers reported that they would prefer that they would prefer one son, while grandmothers reported two sons. Second, as for the gender of the child, young mothers did not show a gender preference, while grandmothers stated that at least one child should be a son, especially if it is the only child. Third, grandmothers had higher expectation of old age security in their male child than young mothers but two groups did not show any difference for the female child. Fourth, as for positive values of children, young mothers were more likely to emphasize personal aspects (i.e., psychological pleasure and happiness) and family cohesiveness, while grandmothers were more likely to emphasize social aspects (i.e., continuing the family line and old age security. As for negative values of children, young mothers were more likely to emphasize personal aspects (i.e., parental role and responsibility), while grandmothers were more likely to emphasize social aspects (i.e., family conflict and relationship). Fifth, as for factors that influenced the number of children that they decided to have, young mothers were more likely to report negative values of children (i.e., financial constraints), while grandmothers were more likely to emphasize positive values of children (i.e., continuing the family line).

본 연구에서는 액착이론 및 가족발달적 접근을 바탕으로 하여 성인딸과 어머니의 상대방에대한 애착, 그들의 상호작용, 주거상 거리, 딸의 결혼 및 부모기로의 변화(tran-sition)등 성인 모녀 관계에서 중요한 제 변인들 간의 관계를 알아보았다. 본 연구에서는 유목적적 편의표집 방법을 이용하여 100쌍의 성인 딸과 그들의 친 어머니를 대상으로 선정하였으며 횡단적 비교를 위하여 성인 딸의 결혼 여부 및 자녀 유무에 따라 다음과 같은 3집단으로 구분하였다 : 미혼의 딸과 그들의 어머니(미혼기) 자녀가 없는 기혼의 딸과 그들 의 어머니(신혼기), 자녀가 있는 기혼의딸과 그들의 어머니(부모기), 성인 모녀 애착 질문지를 이용하여 얻은 응답을 토대로 성인 딸과 어머니의 애착에 영향을 미치는 변인들을 중다회귀분석한 결과는 다음과 같다. 성인모녀 애착은 상호 호혜적이었다. 성인 모녀간의 상호작용, 모녀간 애착의 차이, 딸의 결혼여부는 성인 딸과 어머니의 애착에 유의한 영향을 미쳤는데, 특히 이들 변인과 관련하여 성인 모녀가 서로에 대한 애착을 지각하는 양상에는 차이가 있었다. 모녀간 주거상 거리는 성인 모녀 액착에 아무런 영향을 미치지 않았으며 이것은 서 인기의 상장적 애착을 의미한다고 할 수 있다.
