Abstract
|
|
|
The purpose of this study was to identify the relative effect of parenting stress, social support, and socio-demographic variables on the parenting efficacy. The subjects were 309 mothers of 3 to 5 years olds from 7 daycare centers in Gyeonggi-do. The mother’s parenting efficacy scale was developed by Choi(2002) and revised by Lee(2006). The parenting stress was measured by Parenting Stress Index/Short Form[PSI/SF](Abidin, 1990) and the social support was assessed by the scale developed by Shin(1997). Parenting efficacy was not related with children’s sex, age, birth order, mothers’ age, or the state of maternal employment: however, the mothers’ education level was related with efficacy of guiding the child’s study. The most powerful predictor was husband’s cooperation and the next powerful predictor
was parent-child dysfunctional interaction. These results imply that parent education program should include fathers and that the role of fathers should be emphasized.
