The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of spousal attachment, spousal caregiving, and parental caregiving behaviors on children's parental representations. One hundred and fifteen preschoolers (72 boys and 43 girls, aged between 4-5 years old) and their fathers and mothers participated in this study. The instruments used were the MacArthur Story-Stem Battery (Bretherton, Oppenheim, Buchsbaum, Emde, and the MacArthur Narrative Group, 1990), the Experiences in Close Relationships Scales (Brennan, Clark, & Shaver, 1998), the Caregiving Questionnaire (Kunce & Shaver, 1994), and the Parental Acceptance-Rejection Questionnaire (Rohner, 1991). The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and structural equation modeling analysis. In conclusion, parents' spousal attachment, spousal caregiving, and parental caregiving behaviors have influenced on children's parental representations.

본 연구의 목적은 손자녀의 양육을 지원하는 지원 양육조모의 양육 스트레스와 그의 예언변수들을 탐색하고 이를 양육모집단과 비교 분석하는 것이다. 낮시간 동안 아동을 돌보는 할머니 152명(지원 양육조모)과 그 아동의 어머니 152명(부분 양육모), 낮시간 동안 아동을 돌보는 어머니 157명(주 양육모)의 양육스트레스, 우울, 양육행동, 스트레스 대처, 사회적 지지를 비교 분석하였다. 지원 양육조모는 주 양육모와 부분 양육모에 비해 유의하게 우울하였으나 양육 스트레스에서는 집단 간 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 지원 양육조모는 주 양육모보다 사회적 지지와 문제 중심 대처 능력이 뚜렷이 낮아 스트레스에 가용한 자원이 취약함을 시사하였다. 양육스트레스를 설명하는 예언변수로 양육행동(과잉반응성, 방임성), 스트레스 대처(문제 중심 대처 및 정서 중심 대처), 사회적 지지, 우울의 설명량을 위계적 회귀분석을 통해 탐색하였다. 지원 양육조모의 양육 스트레스를 설명하는 변수는 과잉 반응성, 우울이었다. 주 양육모도 과잉반응성과 우울이 양육 스트레스의 유의한 예언 변수였고, 정서 중심 대처도 예언 변수로 나타났다. 한편, 부분 양육모는 사회적 지지, 우울, 과잉 반응성이 양육 스트레스의 유의한 예언 변수로 나타나 낮시간 양육 집단과는 차이를 보였다. 우울이나 자원의 측면에서 조모 집단과 모집단의 차이를 논의하고, 예언 변수를 중심으로 양육 집단과 비양육 집단의 차이, 조모 집단과 모집단 간의 차이에 대해 논의하였다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the correlation between a flexible parental visiting environment and parental stress in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). Methods: The study participants included 60 parents of premature infants in NICUs. Structured questionnaires and interviews, as well as observations by researchers using a caregiving behavior checklist, were used to measure the flexibility of the parental visiting environment and parents' stress levels. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected concurrently and were initially analyzed as separate data sets. Data collection extended from March 11, 2018 to June 30. 2018 and the data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, the independent t-test, one-way analysis of variance, and Pearson correlation coefficients. Results: There was a negative correlation (r=-.30, p=.021) between parental stress and the total number of visits in 7 days. We also found that the average duration of each visit and the number of caregiving behaviors performed by parents were positively correlated (r=.73, p<.001). Conclusion: When designing a flexible visiting environment for parents, parents should be encouraged to visit their babies. By doing so, stress can be reduced both for babies and for parents. Therefore, it is suggested that the related polices and regulations in South Korea should be changed to provide more a flexible visiting environment to promote better parent-child attachment and family adjustment.

The purpose of this review is to present the basic concepts of attachment theory and temperament traits and to discuss the integration of these concepts into parenting practices. Attachment is a basic human need for a close and intimate relationship between infants and their caregivers. Responsive and contingent parenting produces securely attached children who show more curiosity, self-reliance, and independence. Securely attached children also tend to become more resilient and competent adults. In contrast, those who do not experience a secure attachment with their caregivers may have difficulty getting along with others and be unable to develop a sense of confidence or trust in others. Children who are slow to adjust or are shy or irritable are likely to experience conflict with their parents and are likely to receive less parental acceptance or encouragement, which can make the children feel inadequate or unworthy. However, the influence of children's temperament or other attributes may be mitigated if parents adjust their caregiving behaviors to better fit the needs of the particular child. Reflecting on these arguments and our childhood relationships with our own parents can help us develop the skills needed to provide effective guidance and nurturance.
