Abstract

Objectives The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between middle school students' life time use, parenting attitudes, and emotional behavioral problems over time. Methods For this purpose, the KCYPS 2010 panel survey data of the 4th grade cohort of elementary school were used which included in the Korean Children and Youth Data Archive of the Korea Youth Policy. Also, Latent Growth Modeling was adopted to estimate the change in the variable of middle school students' life time over time and to verify the relationship between the changes. In details, in order to verify the difference in the life time use of middle school students, parenting attitudes and emotional behavior problems were set as influencing factors, and a multivariate potential growth model was applied to verify the relationship between the models. Results The study results showed that middle school students' study time and leisure time showed linear changes according to the change of time. In addition, the higher the parents' overexpectation, the longer the middle school students' study hours, and the higher the grade, the higher the study hours. In addition, middle school students' emotional behavioral problems (aggression, withdrawal) increased as leisure time decreased, but they were not affected by increased study time. Conclusions Through this study, the relationship that exists between changes in variables beyond simply verifying the relationship between variables were verified It could concluded that the results of this study could serve as basic data necessary for middle school students to use their life time in a balanced way.
