유아의 사회적 위축성과 관련된 자녀의 부정적 정서에 대한 어머니의 반응 및 정서표현성

Abstract

Abstract This study examined the effects of mothers’ reactions toward children’s negative emotion as well as mothers’emotional expressivity on children’s social withdrawal. 206 children (103 boys, 103 girls; aged 4-5 years old) andtheir mothers participated in the study. Mothers reported their reactions to their child’s negative emotion along withtheir expressivity. The teachers completed a rating scale to measure children’s social withdrawal. The collected datawas analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson’s productive correlation coefficient, and hierarchical multipleregressions. The results showed a relation between mothers’ distress reactions and punitive responses and children’ssocial withdrawal. A mother’s positive expressivity was negatively related to a child’s social withdrawal. A hierarchicalregression analysis indicated that the effects of mothers’ punitive responses and minimization responses on children’swithdrawal were moderated by a mother’s positive expressivity. Mothers’ punitive responses and minimizationresponses were positively associated with children’s social withdrawal, especially for children who had the lowest levelof mother’s positive expressivity.± ¯ ,FZXPSET
