The study subjects comprised mothers of children aged between three and five years residing in Daegu, South Korea. The following results were obtained. First, maternal anxiety levels significantly influenced parenting stress in the participating mothers. Second, a significantly positive association was found between maternal anxiety levels and infant temperaments associated with sociality and emotionality. Overall, a significantly negative connection was determined between parenting stress and the activity factor of infant temperaments.
