This study used 2 coordination tasks to examine the strategy and quality of interactions between mothers and their children. Results were: (1) Most frequently employed strategies of mothers were feedback, orders, explanations followed by questions and opinions. Most frequently employed strategies of children were offering opinions followed by recognition and explanation. (2) In mother-initiated interactions, the mother's-question/child's-opinion sequence was most frequent, and child's acceptance of mother's order, explanation, suggestion, or opinion; child's question to mother's order, and child's explanation were also frequent. In child-initiated interactions, child's-opinion/mother's-feedback occurred most frequently. Mothers' feedback to child's explanation, acceptance, and question was also observed. (3) When mothers and children used strategies of low quality, such as rejection or reprimand, the interactions tended to be negative.

This study examined a causal relation between employment and depression among low-income young mothers who participated in New Chance Demonstration Study(NC). Using baseline and first follow-up interview data from NC study, this study selected 756 young mothers who were at risk of depression and unemployed at baseline. About 18% of them were employed and 45% of them were no longer at risk of depression at the first follow-up interview. The young mothers grade level and their race/ethnicity were significantly related to the number of weeks employed between the two time points and employment at the 1st follow-up interview. It was also found that employment was negatively associated with depression at the 1st follow-up interview. These findings imply that employment can ameliorate depressive symptoms of low-income young mothers.

본 연구는 유아의 일상적 스트레스와 취업모의 양육태도가 유아의 문제행동에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 알아보고, 유아의 일상적 스트레스와 유아의 문제행동에 취업모의 양육태도는 매개역할을 하는지 알아보고자 한다. 연구를 위하여 "D"시에 소재한 어린이집에 다니는 만 3~6세 유아와 그들을 자녀로 둔 160명의 취업모였다. 연구를 위하여 수집된 자료는 SPSS 18.0 프로그램을 이용하여 상관관계를 분석하였고, 유아의 성별에 따라 일상적 스트레스와 취업모의 양육태도, 문제행동(공격성, 주의집중, 불안/우울)에 미치는 영향력을 알아보기 위하여 회귀분석을 하였다. 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 남아의 문제행동 중 공격성과 주의집중은 취업모의 강압적 양육태도와, 불안/우울은 논리적 양육태도, 불안/좌절감 경험 자존감 상함 스트레스에 영향을 미쳤다. 둘째 여아의 문제행동 중 공격성은 취업모의 강압적 양육태도와, 주의집중은 불안/좌절감 경험 스트레스, 강압적 논리적 양육태도와, 불안/우울은 비난/공격적 상황 스트레스, 강압적 양육태도에 영향을 미쳤다. 셋째, 유아의 성별에 따른 일상적 스트레스와 문제행동 간의 취업모 양육태도의 매개효과는 남아의 경우 매개역할을 하지 않았고, 여아는 매개역할을 하였다. 그러므로 어머니는 강압적이거나 방임적인 양육태도보다는 상호보완적인 논리적 양육태도를 증진시켜 자녀가 일상생활에서 보이는 스트레스를 낮추고 문제행동을 감소시키는 것이 필요하다고 여겨진다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether employed mothers' extended working hours have effects on childcare style and work-family conflicts. The data came from the 2007 Korean Longitudinal Survey of Women and Family(KLoWF) of the Korean Women's Development Institute. 475 females with preschoolers or elementary-school children were used in this study. The major findings can be summarized as follows: (1) Weekly average working hours varied by education, salary, and the presence of preschoolers. (2) The time of childcare was significantly shorter in mothers who work more than 50 hours/week (3) Mothers who worked more than 50 hours/week felt significantly high work-family conflict. These analyses pointed to the importance of obeying the law related to working hours as the most important thing to sustain work-family balance. Institutional foundations should be enabled to keep legal working hours.

This study examined the factors that are related to employed mothers' parenting stress. The study specifically investigated the relative effect sizes of the mother's personality, child's temperament and familial factors as the predictors. The subjects were employed mothers with school-aged children living in the Gyeonggi-do area. The findings were as follows. First, the parenting stress of working mothers was relatively high. Second, the mother's personality predicted parenting stress in a greater magnitude compared to the effect sizes of the child's temperament, family support, marriage satisfaction, or demographic factors. Among mothers' personality factors, neuroticism had the greatest effect followed by cheerfulness, flexibility, consciousness, openness, and extraversion.

The purpose of this study was to compare working mothers' sftisfaction with child day care service between those using child care centers in their workplace and those using child care centers close to their houses. their demand for better child care service was also assessed. The study findings can be used as basic information for establishing alternative solutions and developing child day care programs able to meet the different needs of mothers with preschool children. The results from this study were as follows. Firstly, there was a significant difference in satisfaction levels associated with the quality of child day care centers (programs and safety) between the two groups. There were no significant differences in satisfaction levels associated with demographic factors. Secondly, while working mothers using child care centers in their workplace were most concerned with the quality of the center, the other group of working mothers was most concerned with the distance between their houses and the child care centers. Thirdly, both groups preferred the idea that the government make child care subsidies. Thus study results suggest the need for establishing systematic efforts to increase child care services in workplaces and communities and eventually support working mothers.

This study explored time-use patterns of young children and compared the patterns according to mother's employment status. Using 6718 time diaries of 3359 children under age 5, as reported by their mothers, this study examined (1) the proportion of children who spent time on certain activities and the amount of time they spent on each activity for a weekday and a weekend day and (2) the proportion and the amount of time that children spent with certain adults. Compared to children with unemployed mothers, children with employed mothers spent more time during weekdays in child care centers and less time sleeping. These children also spent more time on education during weekends. The proportionate and actual times children spent with various adults also differed by the mother's employment status. Those with employed mothers spent less time with their mothers and more time with other relatives or teachers on weekdays. These results indicate that maternal employment corresponds with differing timeuse patterns from children's early life stages.

The purpose of this study was to survey mothers' child-rearing practices. A total of 288 middle class mothers having children aged three to four responded to the questionnaires on child-rearing practices. The results were as follows: 1. Mothers mostly gave birth to their children in th hospital, and only 13.9% of children were breast-fed within 6 months after birth. 2. Most of mothers began weaning within 6 months after birth and finished it within 24 months. 3. Toilet training generally started between 18 and 24 months, and mostly finished in 30 months. 4. The attitude of mothers on self-help training was moderately generous to their children. 5. Most of mothers took care of their children as primary caretakers except the employed mothers whose mothers and mothers-in-law mainly took the role. Implications of the study have been discussed in terms of developmental perspective.

Purpose: The objective of this study was to examine the factors associated with initiation and continuation of breastfeeding among Korean women in relation to their employment status. Methods: Data were collected using a web-based self-administered questionnaire from 1,031 Korean mothers living in Seoul with babies younger than 24 months. Demographic characteristics, education on breastfeeding, rooming in, breastfeeding during hospital stay, and breastfeeding knowledge were examined. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify factors associated with initiation and continuation at 1, 6 and 12 months according to mothers' employment status. Results: Breastfeeding initiation rates were similar regardless of mothers' employment status. Continuation rates decreased for both groups of mothers, but were significantly lower among employed mothers at all duration points. Unemployed mothers who were able to keep their babies in the same room during the hospital stay were more likely to initiate breastfeeding. The factor that was consistently associated with breastfeeding continuation for all duration points among unemployed mothers was whether the mother breastfed during the hospital stay. Higher knowledge scores and having an infant with atopic dermatitis were also associated with breastfeeding continuation at 6 months and 12 months, respectively for unemployed mothers, and receiving education on breastfeeding was associated with 12-month continuation for employed mothers. Conclusion: These results emphasize the significant roles of hospitals for breastfeeding initiation and continuation, with rooming-in, initial breastfeeding practice and education during hospital stay as important practices. In addition, for working mothers to continue their breastfeeding, significant support from the workplace is crucial.
