The purpose of this study was to investigate factors related to the parental role in satisfaction and parenting behaviors. The subjects were 102 employed mothers and 110 unemployed mothers of 5-year-old children living in Seoul, Korea. The measures were questionnaire, the Parental Role Satisfaction Scale and the Parenting Behaviors Scale. The data were analyzed by Cronbach's ${\alpha}$, frequency, percentile, mean, correlation, multiple regression and Chow-test. Consistent with Belsky's model of the determinants of parenting, the parental role satisfaction and parenting behaviors of both employed and unemployed mothers were influenced by child characteristics, parent characteristics, and family factors. Results showed that the parental role satisfaction of both employed and unemployed mothers was correlated to child's birth order, temperament and health of child, mothers' and fathers' age, fathers' educational level, and family income. Parenting behaviors were also correlated to sex of child, child's birth order, temperament of child, parental educational level, and family income for employed mothers and to health of child, mothers' and fathers' age, mothers' educational level, and family income for unemployed mothers. Especially, father's age for employed mothers, and child's temperament for unemployed mothers, were the most strongly related variables for parental role satisfaction. On the other hand, family income for employed mothers, and fathers' age for unemployed mothers were the most strongly related variables for parenting behaviors.

The purpose of this study is to investigate how a sense of community, community provisions, and acculturation attitudes towards Korean and American cultures are related to Korean immigrant parents' parental satisfaction. 477 surveys, consisting of 291 females and 186 males, were analyzed using structural equation modeling. Results showed that a sense of community directly influenced acculturation attitudes toward American culture and parental satisfaction. Acculturation attitudes toward American culture also directly influenced parental satisfaction. A sense of community had significant indirect effects on parental satisfaction. These results imply that a sense of community within a larger community plays an important role in Korean immigrant parents' acquisition of identities as members of a new country. Building a sense of community is also important for them to experience less acculturation stress and become more satisfied with their parenting while adjusting to a new culture. Implications for practice and research are discussed.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the mediating effect of the satisfaction of basic psychological needs on the relationship between college students' parental attachment and college life adjustment. Participants comprised 235 college students enrolled in five universities located in the Gwangju and Jeonnam areas. To assess the mediating effects, correlation analysis and hierarchical regression analysis were performed using SPSS 25.0. The results were as follows: first, significant positive correlations were observed between parental attachment, satisfaction of basic psychological needs, and college life adjustment; second, satisfaction of basic psychological needs partially mediated the relationship between parental attachment and college life adjustment. This indicates that the satisfaction of basic psychological needs - such as autonomy, competence, and relatedness - is extremely important in enabling college students to adjust to college life.

본 연구에서는 유아의 부정적 정서에 대한 어머니 반응에 영향을 미치는 어머니의 아동기 수용경험의 관계에서 부모역할만족도가 매개할 것이라는 가설과 부모성찰의 조절효과를 확인하는 매개된 조절 모형을 설정하였고 구조방정식 모델 분석으로 검증하였다. 본 연구는 만 3~6세 유아를 키우는 어머니 327명이 참여하였고, 아동기 수용경험 척도, 부모성찰 척도, 부모역할만족도 척도, 유아의 부정적 정서에 대한 어머니 반응 척도를 사용하였다. 연구모델의 분석 결과는 첫째, 아동기 수용 경험과 유아의 부정적 정서에 대한 어머니 반응에서 부모역할만족도의 매개효과가 유의하게 나타났다. 즉, 어머니가 원부모의 양육방식을 수용적으로 지각할수록 부모역할만족도는 높아지고 이는 유아의 부정적 정서에 대한 어머니 반응에 영향을 미치고 있음을 의미한다. 다음으로 어머니의 아동기 수용 경험과 부모역할만족도 간의 관계에서 부모성찰의 조절효과는 유의하게 나타났다. 이는 아동기 수용 경험과 부모역할만족도의 조절효과를 살펴보면 어머니가 아동기 원부모에게 받은 양육경험을 거부적으로 지각하더라도 부모성찰 수준이 높을 경우에는 부모역할만족도가 높아지는 효과가 있을 것으로 나타났다. 마지막으로 아동기 수용 경험, 부모성찰 그리고 아동기 수용 경험과 부모성찰의 상호작용 변수가 유아의 부정적 정서에 대한 어머니 반응에 미치는 영향에서 부모역할만족도가 매개변수로 투입된 매개된 조절효과가 유의한 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같은 결과는 어머니가 원부모와의 양육에서 수용 받는 경험이 적으면 자신의 자녀를 키우면서 부모역할만족도가 낮아질 수 있지만, 자녀에 대한 이해와 부모역할에 대한 이해가 높을 경우 부모역할 만족도를 높여 어머니의 지지적 반응으로 이어짐을 의미한다. 본 연구 결과를 통해 부모상담과 부모교육의 방향성 및 개입방안의 변화를 이끌기 위한 근거로 활용될 수 있을 것을 시사하는 바이다.

This study was designed to explore fundamental bases of parental role satisfaction and child-rearing practices by comparing Korean and Yanbian Korean-Chinese mothers who share the same cultural roots but live in societies with different ideology and values. Total of 314 mothers with children aged from three to six years participated in this study:- 160 Korean mothers from two cities in Korea and 154 Korean-Chinese mothers from two cities at YanBian in China. Parental Satisfaction Questionnaires by Hyun (1994) and Child Rearing Practice Measures developed by the researchers were used to measure mothers parental role satisfaction and child rearing practices. The results showed that Korean-Chinese mothers seemed to be more satisfied with their roles as parents than Korean mothers. Additional analyses with socio-economic variables reported that both Korean and Korean-Chinese mothers satisfaction about spousal support were higher and their role conflicts were reduced when the household income was higher. Interestingly, most Korean-Chinese mothers reported to be highly satisfied with spousal support whereas only highly educated Korean mothers seemed to be satisfied with spousal support. In addition, for child-related variables, Korean and Korean-Chinese mothers' parental satisfaction were not affected by their childrens gender or age but when they thought their childrens temperament was difficult, their role-conflict tended to increase.

The purpose of this study was to examine the factors related to mothers' attachment formation with their children. For this research, mothers' attachment formation with their children was examined based on the relationship involving three factors: personal variables, parenting stress, and parental satisfaction. A survey instrument was administered to 114 mothers who had 0~3 year-old children attending day care centers in Seoul. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and multiple regression using the SPSS+12 version. Major findings were as follows: First, the degree of mothers' parental stress rated relatively low and the degree of parental satisfaction rated relatively high. Among the three variables that were measured, parental satisfaction was the most influential factor on mothers' attachment formation. Finally, 'burden and stress of parenting', 'feelings of guilt for others taking care of their children', 'general satisfaction', and 'parent-child relationship satisfaction' were powerful factors in explaining attachment formation.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of authentic parental competence and awareness of early childhood educational community on the life satisfaction of mothers with preschoolers depending on mothers' employment status. Methods: A total of 238 mothers (98 employed, 130 unemployed) whose children were attending early childhood institutes participated in a survey measuring three variables. Results and Conclusion: The findings of the study were as follows: First, there were positive correlations between authentic parental competence, awareness of early childhood educational community, and life satisfaction, regardless of employment status. Second, comparing employed mothers with unemployed mothers, a common variable affecting life satisfaction was social competence, a sub-variable of authentic parental competence. Further, self-system competence, a sub-factor of authentic parental competence, influenced life satisfaction for employed mothers, and sharing core values, a sub-variable of awareness of the early childhood educational community, influenced life satisfaction for unemployed mothers.
