Abstract

Objectives The purpose of this study is to reveal the structure and influence between the mother's role in the family-of-origin health, mother's differentiation of self, marital conflict, and problem behavior of early childhood. Methods For this purpose, a questionnaire was distributed to 435 children attending early childhood education institutions located in S and G to measure the variables of childhood child problem behavior, mother's family-of-Origin health, mother's differentiation of self, and marital conflict. In the structural equation model, the independent variable was the mother's family-of-Origin health as the mediating variable, differentiation of self and marital conflict dependent variables were selected as the externalization problem behavior and internalization problem behavior of early children. Results Mothers’ family-of-Origin health had a positive effect on the level of mother’s differentiation of self, and mother’s differentiation of self had a negative effect on children’s externalizing and internalizing problem behaviors. Couple conflict had a positive effect on the externalization and internalization problem behaviors of children in early childhood. Mothers' family-of-Origin health fully mediated the level of mother's differentiation of self in the externalizing and internalizing problem behaviors of children in early childhood. In addition, it was found that marital conflict and mother differentiation of self between the and the externalization and internalization problem behaviors of the infant children had an indirect effect on the externalization and internalization problem behavior of early childhood. Conclusions For this reason, it was verified that differentiation of self in the mother is an important factor in preventing and reducing problem behavior of early childhood, Based on the results of this study, various measures were sought to prevent and reduce problem behavior of early childhood.
