부모의 정서조절곤란 잠재프로파일 분류와 예측요인 검증: 자녀 집행기능곤란의 차이

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to classify the latent profiles of parents’ emotion dysregulation, to verify the effects of their self-esteem and subjective happiness as the predictors and to identify the differences in children’s executive function by these latent profiles. The subjects of this study were 595 parents and children who participated in the 13th Panel Study of Korea Children. The data were analyzed by latent profile analysis(LPA), analysis of variance, and multinomial logistic regression analysis using Mpuls 8.9 and SPSS 23.0. Major findings are as following. First, there were three different latent profiles, named Low-risk group(25.9%), Mid-risk group(53.4%) and High-risk group(20.7%) were found. Second, there were significant differences in children’s executive function by the latent profiles. Low-risk group had the lowest score for the executive function, and there was no significant difference between Mid-risk and High-risk group. Third, self-esteem and subjective happiness of parents had a significant effect on the classification of the latent profiles. These results showed that parent’s emotion dysregulation can cause children’s executive function by classifying the latent profiles of parents’ emotion dysregulation and examining the differences in children’s executive function between the profiles. Finally, based on these findings, we discuss the existing research and conclude with the implication that different interventions may be effective depending on the level of emotional dysregulation in order to address parental emotional distress.
