The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships among mother's psychological characteristics(self-esteem, self-efficacy, and depression), parenting related factors(maternal parenting stress and mother's knowledge on infant development), maternal parenting style, and two-year-old infants' development. The participants consisted of 1735 mothers and their two-year old infants selected from a sample of the 3rd Panel Study of Korean Children(PSKC) by the Korea Institute of Child Care and Education(KICCE), conducted in 2010. Data were analyzed by means of a Structural Equation Model(SEM) to identify the structure and relationships among the various factors. The significance of direct and indirect effects to test the mediating effect of maternal parenting style were identified via bootstrapping. The results indicated that maternal parenting style most definitely mediated the relationship among the mother's psychological characteristics(self-esteem and self-efficacy), parenting related factors(maternal parenting stress and mother's knowledge on Infant development) and the development of their two-year-old infants.

본 연구에서는 자녀가 초등학생에서 중학생으로 성장하는 과정(초4-중3)에서 다문화 가정 어머니의 양육효능감이 어떠한 형태로 변화하는지 확인하고, 확인된 잠재계층에 따라 고등학교 1학년 시기의 자녀가 지각한 어머니의 진로관련 행동, 자녀의 심리사회적, 학업적 특성에 차이가 있는지 확인하였다. 이를 위해 다문화청소년패널연구 7개년도 자료(초4-고1, 2011년-2017년)를 활용하였으며, 잠재계층성장분석, BCH 분석 방법을 사용하였다. 분석 결과, 첫째, 자녀가 초등학생에서 중학생으로 성장하는 과정(초4-중3)에서 다문화 가정 어머니의 양육효능감 변화 양상은 4개 잠재계층(상수준 증가-감소형, 중상수준 증가-감소형, 중수준 무변화, 중하수준 무변화)으로 구분될 수 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 확인된 잠재계층의 특징은 양육효능감 수준이 높은 집단의 경우 자녀가 초등학교 시기에는 양육효능감이 증가하지만, 중학교 시기에는 감소하는 반면, 양육효능감 수준이 낮은 집단의 경우 자녀가 성장하는 과정에서 양육효능감의 변화가 거의 없다는 것이다. 그리고 다문화 가정 어머니의 양육효능감 변화 양상에 따라 고등학교 1학년 시기의 진로관련 행동 및 자녀의 심리사회적, 학업적 특성에 차이가 있었으며, 대체로 상수준 증가-감소형 집단의 자녀가 지각한 진로관련 행동 수준이 높으며, 심리사회적(자아존중감, 우울, 진로장벽인식), 학업적(성취동기, 학업성취) 특성 또한 긍정적인 것으로 확인되었다. 본 연구는 자녀가 초등학생에서 중학생으로 성장하는 과정(초4-중3)에서 다문화 가정 어머니의 양육효능감을 높여주는 것이 고등학교 1학년 시기의 진로관련 양육행동 및 자녀의 심리사회적, 학업적 특성에 긍정적인 영향을 미칠 수 있음을 시사한다.

The main purpose of this study was to examine the mediating roles of mothers' psychological well-being and support/control in the relationship between maternal child-related stress and adolescents' school adjustment. Participants were 389 3rd grade middle school students and their mothers. Mothers completed questionnaires about child-related stress and psychological well-being. Adolescents completed scales of maternal controlling/supportive parenting and school adjustment. Results indicated that a direct effect of mothers' child-related stress on adolescents' school adjustment was not significant. However, mothers' psychological well-being and support/control mediated the relations between child-related stress and adolescents' school adjustment. A higher level of child-related stress in mothers was associated with a lower level of psychological well-being, followed by a lower level of adolescents' school adjustment. Mothers who reported a higher level of child-related stress tended to be less supportive and more controlling, which led to a lower level of school adjustment. These findings suggest the need for considering both maternal characteristics and parenting in explaining adolescents' school adjustment.

Most toddlers(3 to 5) showed normal development in the most domain such as gross motor skill, fine motor skill, language, letter, number, self-help behavior. 3. In socio-emotional development domain, the ratio of risk or delay group were highest at both infant and toddler. 4. The 6-8 years old children that belong to risk group by the result of SDQ(emotion and behavior assessment) were also relatively high. 5. The relation of the children's socio-emotional developmental level and the mother's psychological variables were reciprocal.

This was to examine the relationship between psychological and environmental factors, and the value of children to mothers with young children. The participants of this study were 237 mothers, who had young children. Descriptive statistics, t-test, F-test, and Pearson's correlation analysis were used for data analysis. The results were as follows: First, the value of children was different according to the child's factors (gender and number of children in the family, etc.), the mother's factors (age and education, etc), and the family's factors (household income and cost of bringing up the child). Second, familism is related to emotional value and instrumental value, parenting efficacy is related to emotional value and social value, children's temperament is related to emotional value, and the value of children from mother's reference group is related to emotional value and instrumental value, social value, and burdensome value. As for the implication of these findings, value of children from mother's reference groups is important for changing the value of children of the mothers with young children.

Two hundred and two(90 boys and 112 girls) 6th graders rated themselves on a questionnaire. Correlation analysis, and multiple regression were conducted using SPSS Window vers. 12. Alienation to mother, and overt and relational victimization by peers were positively related, and communication with mother was negatively related to children's proactive aggression. Alienation to mother, and overt victimization by peers were positively related, and communication with mother, support by teacher were negatively related to children's reactive aggression. Alienation to mother, and overt and relational victimization by peers were positively related, and communication with mother and support by teacher were negatively related to children's relational aggression.

Twenty-one adoptive parents participated in this study on adoption-related conflicts perceived by adoptive parents in open adoption. Q-methodology, which provides understanding of individual attitudes and experiences, identified three types of conflict. Type 1 experienced a great deal of conflict and concern prior to the adoption decision; they also faced difficulties stemming from lack of information about parenting an adopted child and institutional inertia. For type 2, the major factors of conflict were discord among siblings, negative bias against adoption in the community, and insufficient national assistance. Type 3 reported that they feel concerned for their adopted-child's developmental and psychological wellbeing they worried that adoption status might lead to behavioral and attitudinal problems in their adopted-child during youth and young adulthood.
