This study focuses on the mediated effect of value of children with a purpose of examining the influence of maternal family-of-origin. A group of 247 mothers having young children in the age of 3 to 5 years participated in a survey which is consisted of the scale of family-of-origin experiences, parenting attitude and value of children. The study results show four aspects: First, family-of-origin experiences have positive effect on value of children. Second, maternal value of children also appears to be positive on parenting attitude. Third, family-of-origin experiences have positive effect on parenting attitude. Lastly, value of children shows mediated effect between family-of-origin experience and parenting attitude. In other words, having high level of positive awareness in family-of-origin experiences brings positive value of children, and the value of children brings positive effect on parenting attitude. Therefore, multilateral measures and methodical supports are needed to develop positive value of children, and consideration on father is required as a joint partner of rearing children.

이 연구는 방위가족과 생식가족간에 자녀양육에 대한 가치전달과 가치변화의 인식 에 대해 조사하였다 특히 방위가족에서 인식한 독립심과 순종의 가치가 생식가족에서 자녀 에게 전달되는지와 두가치의 인식에 변화가 있는지 그리고 이에 영향을 미치는 사회인구학 적 변인을 규명하는데 초점을 두었다. 방위가족에서 인식한 독립심의 가치는 생식가족에서 자녀에게 전달되고 더 강조되는 것으로 나타났다. 순종의 가치는 방위가족에서나 생식가족 에서 중요성이 감소되지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 방위가족에서 독립심의 가치인식에 유의한 차이를 보인 변인은 조사대상자의 연령과 교육수준 그들 어머니의 교육수준 그리고 맏자녀 의 연려에 의해 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 방위가족에서 순종의 가치인식에 영향을 미 친 변인은 없는 것으로 나타났고 조사대상자의 연령, 가족소득, 종교와 맏자녀 연령은 생식 가족에서 순종의 가치선택에 영향을 미치는 변인으로 나타났다.

The purpose of this study was to examine whether parental beliefs, value of children, and filial obligation were related. The subjects were 748 students(male 323, female 425) who were currently enrolled at university located in Seoul. The instruments used for this study were Filial Obligation Scale(Cho, 2002), Parenting Beliefs Questionnaire, and Value of Children by Arnold et al.(1975, 2001). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, and Pearson's correlations by SPSS PC Program. The results showed that university students generally demonstrated a higher level of individual-oriented beliefs than relation-oriented beliefs on parental beliefs. With regard to parental beliefs, family relation-oriented beliefs was relatively low in comparison with independence/autonomy-oriented beliefs, happiness-oriented beliefs, and cognition/knowledge-oriented beliefs. In addition, emotional value of children was relatively high in comparison with instrumental value of children. Also, male university students possessed a higher level of filial obligation. the level of cohabitation experience with their parents played a significant role in affecting the level of filial obligation. Unsurprisingly, a higher relation-oriented parental beliefs and emotional value of children demonstrated a higher level of filial obligation. There were also positive relationships between emotional value, instrumental value, and filial obligation. Hence, this study suggests that a practical, functional training services and resources for future parents must be ensued.

Older mothers had a more lenient expectation of their children in terms developmental timetable and to expect support from their children when compared with young mothers. Young mothers are more likely to socialize their children with greater warmth and at the same time have higher child-rearing stress when compared to older mothers. Third, when compared with older mothers, young mothers are more likely to receive practical and emotional support from their parents. On the other hand, older mothers are more likely to provide greater practical and emotional support to their parents than the young mothers.

월리스의 생산력-소득수준 결정모형에서 자녀에 대한 수요가 자녀의 수와 자녀교육의 질에 대하여 비동차함수 형태를 취할때 자녀수요에 미치는 현존가격의 변화에 따른 소득효과 및 대체효과를 대수적으로 유도하고 이 의미를 기하학적으로 확인해 보는데 본 글의 의의가 있다. 대수적으로 자녀수요(C)를 단순히 자녀의 수(N)와 자녀 교육(Q)의 곱으로 C=NQ와 같이 나타낸 월리스의 모형에서 이를 C=f(N,Q)와 같이 일반적인 함수 형태를 취할때에 소비자 이론의 기본적인 작용 극대화를 통하여 자녀수요를 도출하였다. 기하학적으로는 대수적으로 도출된 자녀수요에 대한 가치효과들을 자녀의 수와 자녀 교육의 질에 대한 상대적 현존 가치를 고려하여 자녀수요의 변화, 자녀수 및 자녀 교육의 질 사이에 관계를 도시하였다.
