어머니의 사회적 양육행동이 유아의 사회성 기질을 매개로 유아의 사회적 기술에 미치는 영향에 대한 종단 연구

초록

This study was conducted to identify the longitudinal effect of mothers’ social parenting behavior and children’s sociability on children’s social skills which is an important aspect of life and to analyze the structural relation among them. This study used the data of 2,150 families from the Panel Study on Korean Children and explored the longitudinal changes of mothers’ social parenting behavior and children’s sociability and the effect of these changes on children’s social skills including the mediating effect of children’s sociability. The results of this study are as Follows. First, mothers’ social parenting behavior diminished slightly from children aged 0 to 3 years. And the higher its initial value was, the lower its change rate was. Second, children’s sociability was stable from 2 to 4 years. Third, the high initial value of mothers’ social parenting behavior had a positive influence on both children’s sociability in two year olds and children’s social skill in six year olds. Further, children’s sociability in two year olds had a positive influence on children’s social skill in six year olds. However, the change rate of mothers’ social parenting behavior had no influence on children’s social skills. Fourth, children’s sociability mediates partially the effects of mothers’ social parenting behavior on children’s social skills. These results indicated the longitudinal influence and the importance of mothers’ social parenting behavior in early life.
