Abstract

|
Objectives : This descriptive study was conducted to determine the relationships between the maternal child-rearing attitude, child-rearing burden, and their preschooler´s temperament, and to explore predicted factors for preschoolers´ temperament.
Methods : The sample of this study were 212 mothers of pre-schoolers attending at Child-Care-Centers in three cities, Seoul, Daejon, and Suwon in Korea. Schaefer´s MBRI (Maternal Behavior Research Instrument), and PTQ (Parent Temperament Questionnaire) by Thomas and Chess, Child-rearing burden instrument by Han were used to collect data from September 15 to October 31, 2002.
Results : Maternal attitude was different depending on the mother´s education, maternal employment state, and family income. There was negative relationship between child rearing burden and maternal attitude. The significant predictors for preschoolers´ difficult temperament type were positive evaluation attitude (OR=0.755) and autonomic attitude (OR=1.2). Maternal attitude showed significant relationships with their preschoolers´ temperament in some subscale.
Conclusions : Maternal attitude was affected by emotional factors as well as educational level and income, and preschoolers´ temperament was not related with demographic characteristics, but related with maternal attitude. Parent education program for promoting positive maternal attitude needs to be developed to make children´s temperament more desirably.
