The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between mother’s autonomy support and children’s social competence and effortful control and empathy and to verify hypothesis that autonomy support by a mother has an effect on their children’s social competence and that effortful control and empathy has mediating effects on the relationship between the mother’s autonomy support and her children’s social competence. The results of this study demonstrated that there is only a positive correlation between perceived autonomy support by a mother and her children’s social competence and effortful control and empathy. Second, the mediating effect was significant in the relationship between the mother's autonomy support and her children’s social competence. Regarding the simple mediating effect, empathy completely mediated the relationship between mothers' autonomy support and their children’s social competence. With regard to dual mediation effects, effortful control and empathy had sequential dual mediation effects on the relationship between mothers' autonomy support and their children’s social competence. This study is meaningful in that it demonstrated that a parenting style that supports children’s autonomy also has an important effect on the development of children’s social competence. It was also possible to identify the psychological path through which the mother’s autonomy support, an environmental factor affecting the development of children’s social competence, affects children.
