어머니의 일·가정 양립 갈등과 청소년의 학교적응의 관계: 가족의사소통과 청소년의 집행기능곤란의 매개효과

초록

This study examined the mediating effects of family communication and adolescents’ executive function difficulties in the relationship between working mothers’ work-family conflict and their adolescent children’s school adjustment. Using data from the 15th wave of the Panel Study on Korean Children (PSKC), structural equation modeling was conducted with 816 employed mothers and their middle school children. The analysis revealed that mothers’ work-family conflict negatively affected family communication, which in turn significantly influenced children’s school adjustment through their executive function difficulties. These findings suggest the need to pay closer attention to the work-family balance of mothers raising adolescent children and to recognize the complex pathways through which such conflicts impact child development, thereby providing appropriate support.
