Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the mediating effects of emotional expressiveness and peer relationship between parents' rearing attitude and subjective well-being perceived by non-disabled children with disabled sibling. The study subjects were 135 non-disabled children with disabled sibling living in Seoul, Gyeonggi, and Incheon. Data analysis was performed with correlation analysis using SPSS 22.0, path analysis using SPSS Macro, and verification of mediating effect using bootstrapping. The result of the analysis showed that, first, affectionate rearing attitudes of the mother and father revealed a significant positive correlation with emotional expressiveness, peer relationship, and subjective well-being, but the autonomous rearing attitude of the mother and father showed no significant correlation with emotional expression. Second, in the relationship between the mother's and father's affectionate parenting attitude and subjective well-being, emotional expressiveness was mediated through peer relationships. In the relationship between mother's and father's autonomous rearing attitude and subjective well-being, emotional expressiveness had no mediating effect; only peer relationships were found to have mediating effects. Finally, the implications and limitations of this study are discussed.
