부모의 심리적 통제가 아동의 열등감을 매개로 역기능적 분노표현에 미치는 영향

Abstract

Objectives The purpose of this study is to examine moderated mediation effects of self-compassion through inferiority between parental psychological control and child's dysfunctional anger expression. Methods To this end, 348 children in the 4th to 6th grades of five elementary schools located in Daegu and Gyeong sang buk-do were analyzed using the parental psychological control scale, dysfunctional anger expression scale, inferiority scale, and self-compassion scale. Correlation analysis was conducted to examine the relationship between measurement variables using SPSS 23.0 and SPSS Macro PROCESS v3.0, hierarchical regression analysis was conducted to verify the mediating effect, and regulatory regression analysis was conducted to verify the moderating effect. Results The results of the study are as follows. First, it was found that inferiority partially mediated the psychological control of parents and the dysfunctional anger expression of children. Second, it was found that self-compassion controls the relationship between the child's inferiority and dysfunctional anger expression. Third, it was found that there was a moderated mediation effect of self-compassion in the effect of parental psychological control on dysfunctional anger expression through the child's inferiority. Conclusions Through the results of this study, it was confirmed whether self-compassion can control the effect of psychological control of parents perceived by children on dysfunctional anger expression through an inferiority. Through this, it suggests that it is important to cultivate an individual's receptive and flexible attitude as well as a family parenting environment in order to lower children's dysfunctional anger expression. Therefore, information was provided to establish specific intervention strategies in counseling and education sites to improve the level of self-compassion.
