The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of parenting behavior and parent-child communication on internet use among school-aged children. The subjects were 215 children whose grade are 3rd and 5th selected from an elementary school in Incheon. The statistics used for this data were t-test, one-way ANOVA(Duncan's test), and stepwise regression. The findings from the present study suggested that academic achievement and birth order turned out to be significant variables on children's internet use, except for sex and grade. Results of the stepwise regression analyses that the etiologic model of this study was more proper, and parenting behavior is more effective variable than parent-child communication in predicting internet use among school-aged children. Implications based on this study are as follows; In order to decrease the degree of school-aged children's internet use, parents should do less permissive parenting behavior and problematic communication with their children.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the direct and indirect effects (through working mothers' overprotective parenting behavior) of working mothers' separation anxiety and job satisfaction on preschoolers' separation anxiety. Methods: A total of 251 working mothers with preschool-aged children participated in this study. Mothers completed a questionnaire concerning their separation anxiety, job satisfaction, overprotective parenting behavior, and preschoolers' separation anxiety. Data were analyzed using t-test, one-way ANOVAs, partial correlations and path analysis. Results: In terms of direct effects, working mothers' separation anxiety had a direct effect on preschoolers' separation anxiety. However, job satisfaction did not have a direct effect on preschoolers' separation anxiety. With respect to indirect effects, working mothers' separation anxiety indirectly influenced preschoolers' separation anxiety through their overprotective parenting behavior. However, mothers' job satisfaction did not have an indirect effect on preschoolers' separation anxiety. Conclusion/Implications: Findings from this study emphasize the importance of reducing mothers' separation anxiety in order to prevent preschoolers' separation anxiety.

This study examined the variables that influence middle school students' level of life satisfaction and tested a hypothetical structural equation model relating the variables to middle school students' level of life satisfaction. The subjects were 2,829 (1,411 boys and 1,418 girls) pupils who participated in the Korean Survey on the Familial Consciousness of Youth and Parents (KSYC-Familial Consciousness) in 2010. Data were analyzed through frequency, percentages, Pearson's correlations using SPSS 18.0 and structural equation modeling with AMOS 7.0. The findings are as follows. The proposed model, as revised, demonstrated the effectiveness of an analysis of the structural equation model and illustrated that all three variables (fathers' parenting behavior, communication with fathers, self-concept) indicated a direct or indirect influence on middle school students' level of life satisfaction. Fathers' parenting behavior had the greatest total effect on middle school students' life satisfaction. Fathers' parenting behavior, communication with fathers and self-concept explained 59% of the total variance of middle school students' life satisfaction. The implications for future studies are also discussed.

Objective: This study examined the relationships among mothers' marital satisfaction, parenting behavior, and preschoolers' sleep problems. Methods: Three hundred mothers of preschoolers completed questionnaires on three research variables. Data were analyzed by correlation analyses and regression analyses. Results: First, mothers' marital satisfaction was negatively related to preschoolers' sleep problems. Second, mothers' marital satisfaction was positively associated with warmth and reasoning, while mothers' marital satisfaction was negatively associated with intrusiveness, coercion, and neglect. Third, mothers' warmth and reasoning were negatively linked to preschoolers' sleep problems, but mothers' coercion was positively linked to preschoolers' sleep problems. Lastly, mothers' warmth partially mediated the relationship between mothers' marital satisfaction and preschoolers' sleep problems. Conclusion/Implications: This study confirmed that mothers' marital satisfaction and parenting behavior had an influence on preschoolers' sleep problems. These findings highlight the importance of the family context for preschoolers' healthy sleeping habits.
