Abstract

|
|
The purpose of this study is to investigate the level of perceived self-esteem and maternal caretaking behaviors of college students. Data were collected through self-report questionnaires in which maternal caretaking behaviors and self-esteem were included. This study chose 293 students studying at universities and a college in Busan and a college in Taebaek as subjects. The data were analyzed by the SPSS program.
The results were as follows ;
1. The mean score of the subjects on selfesteem was 29.6(Range=10-40).
2. The mean score of the subjects on maternal caretaking behaviors was 82.7(Range= 22-110). The mean scores of subsets on the maternal caretaking behaviors were as follows ; achievement(4.03), affection(3.86), rational direction(3.79), active participation (3.60), consistent restriction(3.59), authoritative control(3.49) and over-protection(3.28).
3. The level of maternal caretaking behavior revealed some difference according to the students’ gender and their mothers’ academic career.
4. The level of self-esteem was positively correlated to the level of maternal caretaking behaviors in subjects.
In conclusion, the above findings indicate that mothers’ positive pattern of maternal caretaking behaviors are closely related to the students’ higher self-esteem.
