The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effects maternal employment history, achievement motivation and gender egalitarianism in job on university students' negative beliefs about the consequences of maternal employment. A total of 338 university students in Seoul, Kyungki, and Kyungnam area, provided information for the study. Analyses results showed that male students had higher level of negative beliefs about the consequences of maternal employment and achievement motivation and lower level of gender egalitarianism in job than female students did. Mothers' history of employment during the student's middle and high school period and higher job egalitarianism predicted lower negative beliefs about maternal employment. As male and female students were compared, male students with history of mothers' employment, lower level of achievement motivation and higher level of gender egalitarianism showed low level of negative beliefs about maternal employment. For female students, mothers' employment significantly predicted their beliefs about negative consequences of maternal employment.

This study was conducted to develop a scale to evaluate maternal beliefs regarding employment and to demonstrate its validity. The subjects in the study included 225 mothers in Suncheon who had children under the age of 5. Initially, the definitions of beliefs associated with employment presented in previous studies were examined, after which the existing scale, Beliefs about the Consequence Maternal Employment for Young Children (BACMEC), was modified based the advice of three experts in child study. Next, 35 mothers who had preschool children were interviewed to assess their views on the positive and negative aspects of maternal employment. After excluding overlapping contents, a scale composed of 50 questions (24questions adapted from questions on the BACMEC and 26 created based on the results of the interview) was generated. Based on the result of factor and regression analysis, 27 (15questions regarding positive aspects of employment and 12 regarding negative aspects of employment) of the 50 questions were selected for use as the new scale. Reliability analysis showed satisfactory results (Cronbach's $\alpha$ = .89-.92). In conclusion, it is hoped that the scale for maternal beliefs in employment developed in this study will be used as a useful measurement tool in future studies conducted to evaluate maternal employment.

This study examines the factors related to university students' positive beliefs about the consequences of maternal employment. A total of 338 university students in Seoul, Gyeong-gi, and Kyungnam area provided information about their socio-economic background, parents' employment history, achievement motivation, and gender egalitarian attitude. A two-way analysis of variance showed significant interaction effects of gender and grade on positive beliefs about the consequences of maternal employment. Multiple regression analyses by gender indicated that factors related with university students' positive beliefs about the consequences of maternal employment may differ by gender. For male students, grade, and socio-cultural gender egalitarian attitude were significantly related to positive beliefs about the consequences of maternal employment. For female students, grade, family monthly income, mother's employment during elementary school, and achievement motivation were related with positive beliefs about the consequences of maternal employment.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of playfulness, play support beliefs and parenting stress on intimate parenting in the mothers of young children by maternal employment. In order to achieve this, 405 mothers of young children, aged 3-5 years old, participated in a self-reported survey. The data was analyzed by descriptive statistics using SPSS 19.0 and structural equation modeling and multigroup analysis using AMOS 21.0. The results of this study showed that the mothers' support beliefs and parenting stress mediated both playfulness and intimate parenting irrespective of maternal employment. Interestingly, the unemployed mothers' playfulness had direct effects on intimate parenting whereas the playfulness of the employed mothers did not. Lastly, the effects of the mothers' play support beliefs, playfulness, and parenting stress on intimate parenting did not differ between employed and unemployed mothers.

The relations of mothers' attitudes regarding maternal employment to mothers' psychological well-being, mothers' parenting sensitivity and children's social competence were examined for mothers who worked full-time (extensively) from age 6 months of their children on, mothers who were not employed, and mothers who worked part-time or inconsistently during their children's early years. Longitudinal observations of 1,034 mothers and children in the NICHD Study of Early Child Care from age one month to first grade were analyzed using structural equation models. As predicted, mothers and children benefited when maternal attitudes were consistent with mother's actual employment status. Among extensively employed mothers, those with positive attitudes about employment had better psychological well-being; among mothers who were not employed, those who believed that maternal employment would have negative consequences for children's development reported better psychological well-being. The findings suggested that whether the mother's status of employment is congruent with their beliefs, not whether the mother is working or not, predicted the mother's well-being and their child's social development.

본 연구는 영아기 자녀를 둔 어머니의 양육신념과 지지적 상호작용이 양육스트레스에 미치는 영향에 대하여 가구소득과 어머니의 취업여부에 따라서 차이가 나타나는지 살펴보는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 연구대상은 2010년 한국아동패널3차에 참가한 23-31개월 자녀를 둔 어머니들 중 가구소득과 취업여부로 분류한 4개 집단(낮은소득-비취업, 낮은소득-취업, 높은소득-비취업, 높은소득-취업)에 해당하는 770명이었다. 연구결과 어머니의 양육신념과 지지적 상호작용은 양육스트레스에 영향을 미치는 것으로 밝혀졌으며, 집단에 따라서 영향을 미치는 변인과 정도는 차이가 있었다. 4개의 모든 집단에서 공통적으로 어머니의 지지적 상호작용은 양육스트레스에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 변인이었으며, 높은소득-비취업 집단에서는 유일한 변인이었다. 낮은소득-비취업 집단에서는 정서적, 도구적 가치와 성취기대, 인성에 대한 강조가, 낮은소득-취업 집단에서는 도구적 가치가, 높은소득-취업 집단에서는 정서적 가치와 성취기대가 양육스트레스에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같은 연구결과는 취업여부와 가구소득과 관련된 어머니의 양육스트레스를 이해하기 위해서는 두 변인을 함께 고려할 필요가 있음을 시사해주고 있다.

This study examine the employment and childcare choices of mothers of infants. Study participants were 543 mothers, with infants younger than 40 months, in Suncheon. The results were as follows. First, mothers' employment beliefs, regardless of whether they worked outside the home, showed more positive scores regarding employment when they had jobs and/or higher educational levels. Second, mothers' use of child-care was more likely to begin when their children were at younger ages when the mothers worked outside the home, had higher educational levels and/or perceived their employment circumstances as including the ideas "Always have internal conflicts over whether to quit the job or not" and/or "Have never thought of quitting the job". Third, we examined how the features of the childcare environment and childcare type affected the mothers.

본 연구는 모친의 사회 경제적 요인과 구강건강신념이 유치우식증에 미치는 원인을 분석, 유아의 구강건강을 효과적으로 증진시키고자 전라북도 군산시에 거주하는 어린이집의 5, 6세 아동과 그 모친 174명을 대상으로 연구를 시행하였다. 조사 방법은 아동의 구강검진과 그 모친의 사회 경제적인 요인과 구강건강신념모형이었으며, 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 유치우식증 실태는 우식경험유치지수의 경우 5세 남아가 3.39개, 여아는 2.76개였으며, 6세 남자는 3.86개, 여아는 3.27개 였다. 또한 유치우식경험율은 5세 남아에서 가장 높게 나타났으며(81.8%), 우식유치율이 처치유치율보다 높게 나타났다. 그러나 6세 여아에서는 치료된 치아가 우식보다 높게 나타났다. 5세 유아의 처치유치율은 남아가 여아보다 높게 나타나 통계학적으로 유의하게 나타났다(p<0.05). 2. 사회경제적인 요인에 따른 유치우식증 실태는 모친의 취업 여부와 세대주의 연령에서 통계학적으로 유의하게 나타났다. 모친이 취업한 경우(84.7%)가 미취업(66.7%)보다 유치우식경험율에서 높게 나타나 유의한 차이를 나타냈으며(p<0.05), 또한 세대주의 연령이 40세 이상일 때 우식경험유치지수가 가장 높게 나타났으며(4.07개), 그 다음은 35~39세에서 3.83개, 25~29세에서 3.33개, 30~34세에서 2.15개로 유의한 차이를 보였다(p<0.05). 3. 모친의 사회 경제적 요인에 따른 모친의 구강건강신념과의 통계학적으로 유의하게 나타난 것은 세대주의 학력, 시부모나 부모와의 동거 여부였다. 세대주의 학력은 구강질환에 때한 감수성과 심각성이 보통 정도 수준으로 고졸 하보다 대졸 이상에서 높게 나타났다(p<0.01)(p<0.05). 또한 시부모 또는 부모와의 동거 여부는 중요성이 낮았고 동거가 비동거보다 높게 나타났다(p<0.05). 4. 유아의 우식경험유치지수가 모친의 구강건강신념과 연관성이 있었으며, 모친의 구강건강신념에 대한 유익성이 높을수록 아동의 우식경험유치지수가 낮게 나타났다.
