The present study examined predictors of children's problem solving using structural equation modeling(SEM). Participants were 410 dyads of 2nd- and 6th-grade children and their mother or father. Children and their parents responded to questionnaires. Instruments were the PSI(Parent Behavior Inventory, 1998), CES-D(Center for Epidemiological Scale-Depression, for children's depression, 1977) Sherer's(1982) self-efficacy scale, and the Problem Solving Inventory(Heppner & Petersen, 1982). In both grades, warmth in parenting behavior affected children's self-efficacy, which in turn contributed to their problem solving. Rejection in parenting behavior had positive effects on problem solving through increasing self-efficacy in 2nd graders only. Results implied importance of self-efficacy and developmentally appropriate parenting to improve children's problem solving.

Purpose: The symptoms and impairments caused by cerebral palsy usually require long-term treatment, resulting in a substantial burden on the family of affected children. This study explored the experiences of fathers with prematurely-born children with cerebral palsy, with a focus on how such experiences influenced their families. Methods: A qualitative case study method was used. Nine subjects were recruited from April 2018 to June 2019 at one hospital, and each was interviewed three times by a neonatal nurse. Results: Five core experiences of fathers were identified: "regret for an insufficient initial response", "confronting my child born as a premature baby", "the position of being a dad who can't do anything", "the process of treatment like a tunnel with no exit", and "a father's getting meaning in life through children". These stories covered an individual's timeline and family interactions. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that fathers of prematurely-born children tend to suppress their emotions; therefore, a novel intervention program to encourage fathers' emotional expression and to support healthier interactions with their families is needed. Moreover, our findings could contribute basic information for the construction of a community-based support system to aid families, including prematurely-born children and other persons with impairments.

남녀 대학생을 대상으로 청소년기 부모의 외모관련 양육유형과 자신의 자기존중감이 외모만족도에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 그 결과, 아버지의 외모관련 양육유형은 무관심형(45.5%), 보수적 규제형(32.0%), 외모추구형(22.5%)으로 분류되었으며, 어머니의 경우에는 의견존중형(39.5%), 보수적 규제형(32.6%), 외모추구형(27.9%)으로 분류되었다. 또한 부모의 양육유형과 대학생 자녀의 자기존중감에 따른 외모만족도와의 관계를 살펴본 결과, 남학생에게 있어서는 부모의 외모관련 양육태도보다는 자녀의 자기존중감이 그들의 외모만족도에 영향을 미쳤다. 이에 비하여 여학생들은 부모의 양육유형에 따른 외모만족도 면에서 차이가 있었는데, 자녀의 의견을 존중하는 어머니를 가진 여학생의 경우 외만족도와 신체만족도가 높았으며, 아버지가 외모추구형인 여학생의 경우 오히려 자녀의 신체만족도가 낮았다. 또한 자녀들은 의견존중형을 가장 이상적인 양육유형으로 인식하고 있었고 전반적으로 자기존중감이 높은 학생의 경우 외모만족도도 높았다. 이것은 부모들이 자녀의 외모 관련 양육태도로서 자녀의 의견을 존중하고 그들이 자신의 개성을 찾도록 지도하는 것이 자녀의 외모만족과 자기존중감 고양에 도움이 됨을 보여준다.
