The subjects of the study comprised 2078 newborn children (and their mothers) taken from the $1^{st}$ year of the Korea Children's Panel. The results of the research are as follows. The mother's feeling of pregnancy, her income activity, religion, and educational level impacted significantly upon self-awareness, whereas employment status did not.

The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of parenting stress on children's problematic behavior in multicultural families. The subjects were 143 mothers who are caring for their 3-6 year old children in multicultural families. Data was collected using a parenting stress index and a child behavior check list. The data were statistically analyzed using a t-test, a one-way ANOVA(Scheff'e test), a correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis. The study showed that there were no significant differences in parenting stress according to the socio-demographic variables. However, there were some significant differences in children's problematic behavior according to the mother's education. Correlation analysis indicated that the mother's parenting stress and children's problematic behavior in multicultural families had significant positive correlations in all sub-variables. It was also found that the mother's education, the mother's stress caused by a difficult child, the mother's stress caused by dysfuntional interactions between parents and children and educational distress, were all significant predictors of the preschool children's problematic behavior in multicultural families.

본 연구에서는 어머니의 직무만족도, 심리적 특성, 양육스트레스, 부부갈등 간의 관계를 살펴보고, 구조방정식 분석을 활용하여 어머니의 직무만족도가 양육스트레스와 부부갈등에 영향을 미치는 과정에서 심리적 특성(자기효능감, 자아존중감, 우울)이 매개 역할을 하는지 검증하였다. 이를 위해 한국아동패널 3차년도 자료 중, 취업 중인 어머니 444명을 분석대상으로 하였다. 분석 결과, 첫째, 어머니의 직무만족도는 심리적 특성인 자기효능감, 자아존중감과는 정적 상관관계, 우울과 부적 상관관계, 결혼생활 관련 변인인 양육스트레스, 부부갈등과 부적 상관관계가 나타났다. 둘째, 어머니의 직무만족도는 양육스트레스에는 직접적인 영향을 미치지 않지만, 어머니의 직무만족도는 부부갈등에 직접적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 직무만족도가 양육스트레스와 부부갈등에 미치는 영향을 대체로 심리적 특성이 매개하는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 양육스트레스와 부부 갈등 분야에서의 본 연구의 의의와 가족 상담 과정에서의 시사점에 대해 논의하였다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether there is any difference between the dual residence couples and the single residence couples in terms of the situation of child care, development of their child and mother's parenting guilty or parenting stress. Also, this study aimed to explore the variables which influence parenting guilty and parenting stress of dual residence mothers. The 178 mothers of three to eight tear-old participated the survey. Half of them were dual residence mothers and another half were those of single residence. These two groups were matched in terms of the occupation of the mother and the age of the child. Major finding were as follows. 1) Compared with single residence couples, dual residence couples used multiple methods of child care. And they depended maternal families more than paternal ones as a care-giver. They also payed much more for the child care than single residence couples. 2) Children of the dual residence couples did not differ with those of the single residence couples in terms of cognitive and social development. 3) Dual residence mothers had more parenting guilty than those of single residence while these two groups did not differ in terms of parenting stress. 4) While dual residence mother's parenting guilty was significantly related with the amount of information provided by the paternal families, their parenting stress was significantly related with the frequencies of communicating with the husband, the mother's age, the flexibility of time in the mother's work place, the mother's orientation to the career, and the supports of the husband. In conclusion, dual residence families in Korea were not so negative as expected. Furthermore, this study suggests that the parenting difficulties of the dual residence mothers could be decreased by the change of social and economic situations and the psycho-social support of the husband.

Ahern, C. S. Ward and J. C. Allaire(2006). The data were analyzed through mean, standard deviation, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation, and hierarchical multiple regression. The results of this study were as follows: First, the mean score of husband's emotional support was higher than average and the mean score of mother-teacher partnership was an average level. Parenting stress was lower than average. Second, there were statistically differences in maternal parental stress according to number of children and mother's educational level.
