The purpose of this study was to investigate whether mothers’-overprotective-parenting-behaviors had a mediating effect on the relationship between mothers’-parenting-anxiety and preschoolers’-internalizing- problematic-behaviors. For this purpose, a survey was conducted on 271 mothers of children aged 3 to 5 who were enrolled at an early childhood education institution located in J City and W County, Jeollabuk-do. The collected data were analyzed using the SPSS program (ver. 23.0) and the Macro process (ver.4.2). The results of this study are as follows. First, it was seen that the mother’s parenting-anxiety and overprotective- parenting-behavior had a positive correlation with the child’s internalizing problem behavior. Second, in the relationship between the mother’s parenting anxiety and child’s internalizing problem behavior, ‘baby-behavior’ was found to partially mediate, and ‘protective-behavior’ did not appear to have a mediating effect. As such, it was confirmed that the mother’s parenting-anxiety and overprotection related to ‘baby behavior’ were mechanisms that influence the child’s internalizing problem behavior. This focused on the fact that the psychological difficulties a mother experiences when raising her child can increase the child’s internalized problem behavior. Additionally, it is believed that rather than ‘baby behavior’, which is behavior that is not appropriate for the child’s age, parents’ ‘parenting behaviors’ that provide age-appropriate help that are appropriate for their child’s development should be examined in a more detailed manner.
