The purpose of the study was aimed to examine the relationship between parental child-rearing patterns and aggression among psychiatric inpatients hospitalized in a various psychiatric institutions in Korea, and to collect, baseline data for the establishment of effective measures to prevent unpredictable aggressive behaviors in psychiatric patients.
In order to achieve these setting goals, sampling were performed through three stage clustered random sampling method, and questionnaires were finally applied to a total 208 psychiatric inpatients including 130 men and 78 women.
The data were processed by IBM PC AT computer, using SPSS program. Statistical methods employed in this study were chi-square test, analysis of variance and stepwise multiple regression analysis.
1. It showed that the pathological parental child-rearing practices tended to increase psychiatric patient´s aggression. In the relative strength of influencing their aggression, maternal child-rearing practice showed higher predictability (RI = 14.817o) than paternal ones (4.3%). The more were mothers´ restrictive (18.67c), domineering (16.9%), mistrustful (14.6%), rigid (110.007o) child-rearing practice, the higher occured their children´s aggression. The more were fathers´ mistrusful (4.3%) child-rearing ractice, the higher occured their children´s aggression.
2.. The pathological parental child-rearing practices were more significantly correlated with psychiatric patient´s aggressive drives than aggressive behaviors. In the relative strength of influence, paternal pathological child-rearing practices had singificantly correlated with, psychiatric patient´s´aggressive drives than aggressive behaviors. While maternal pathological child-rearing practices produced significantly correlated with psychiatric patient´s aggressive behaviors than aggressive drives.
3. The pathological parental child-rearing practices tended to increase psychiatric patient´s inner-directed´ aggressive drive (R2 = 10.3 %) such as truancy drive, runaway drive or suicidal drive, and indirect-displaced aggressive drive (87o) such as compulsive stealing drive or, regressive aggressive drive. The pathological paternal child-rearing practices tended to increase psychiatric patient´s inner,directed aggressive drive (5.3%) such as runaway drive. While the pathological maternal child-rearing pactices tended to increase psychiatric patient´s outer-directed expressive aggressive behavior (11.6 % ) such as verbal aggression or calling a fight out of school.
