부모의 놀이신념과 부모효능감이 부모-자녀 놀이상호작용에 미치는 영향

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to verify the effect of parents’ play beliefs and parental efficacy on parent-child play interactions. The participants in this study were 325 parents who used daycare centers, kindergartens, and toy libraries located in Daegu, Gyeongsangbuk-do, and Gyeongsangnam-do. Data analysis was performed using statistical packages SPSS 26.0 and AMOS 26.0. The maximum likelihood estimation method was used to model the fit. The fitness was evaluated using CFI, TLI, SRMR, RMSEA, and 90% confidence intervals. The major findings were as follows: First, parents’ play beliefs and parental efficacy had a positive and direct effect on parent-child play interactions. Second, parents’ play beliefs had a positive and direct effect on parental efficacy. Third, parents’ play beliefs had an effect on parent-child play interactions, but partially mediated by parental efficacy. This study is theoretically meaningful, as it shows that parents’ play beliefs and parental efficacy can be major factors that can qualitatively improve parent-child play interactions.
