부모의 정신건강 프로파일 유형 분류 및 아동의 내재화⋅외현화 문제행동 차이 비교

Abstract

Objectives The purpose of this study was to classify different profiles based on the indicators of mental health at parental level and find out differences in children's internalizing/externalizing behavior problems by subtypes of parental mental health profile.
 Methods Survey data of 1,071 children and parents from the 12th Panel Study on Korean Children(PSKC) in 2019 were used for the analyses. Dyadic latent profile analysis was used for classifying subtypes of parental mental health profiles, and Three-step approach was used for testing differences in children's internalizing/externalizing behavior problems by subtypes of parental mental health profiles.
 Results First, Four subtypes(‘pattern mismatch-vulnerable mother’, ‘pattern match-vulnerable parents’, ‘pattern mismatch-vulnerable father’, ‘pattern match-stable parents’) were classified according to the indicators of parental mental health. Second, There were significant differences in children's internalizing behavior problems, ‘pattern mismatch-vulnerable mother’ and ‘pattern match-vulnerable parents’ were higher than others. Third, There were significant differences in children's externalizing behavior problem, ‘pattern match-vulnerable parents’ was the highest in externalizing behavior.
 Conclusions This study showed implications in identifying the relationships between parental mental health and children's behavior problem by exploring subtypes of parental mental health profiles in a multifaceted manner and suggested implications for improving parental mental health to attenuate children's behavior problems.
