This study analyzes the parenting stress characteristics of mothers of 24-month-old infants using the Korean version of the Parenting Stress Test (K-PSI) and explores parenting clusters through cluster analysis of four factors: parenting stress, anxiety, depression, and marital satisfaction. The participants were 986 mothers at 24 months after childbirth, which is based on the longitudinal study on mental development of infants and toddlers as part of the Cohort for Childhood Origins of Asthma and Allergic Diseases_(COCOA) study, a long-term follow-up study sponsored by the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention_(KCDC). To analyze the data, cluster analysis and multiple regression analysis were conducted. As a result of analyzing the characteristics of parenting stress, distraction in the child area and role limitation in the parent area were the highest. As a result of analysis, four types of clusters were classified. First, The unstable parenting group showed the highest for the four factors. This group was found to have the most negative effect on parent-child relationship. Second, The mother characteristic parenting weak group showed a high level of parenting stress in the parent area. This group was relatively less influential in the parent-child relationship. Third, The child characteristic parenting weak group was a group with high parenting stress in the child area. This group was found to have the highest negative effect on the attachment. Fourth, The stable parenting group showed the lowest for the four factors. The study can be used to develop a parenting support program by applying the results of the four cluster types.
