부모의 양육태도와 유아 문제행동의 메타분석: 메타구조방정식 모형의 적용

Abstract

This study aims to apply a meta-structural equation modeling to analyze the relationship between parents’ parenting attitudes and young children’s problem behavior and what kind of causal relationship exists between parents’ parenting attitudes and young children’s problem behavior. To achieve research questions, the researchers searched for various databases and analyzed 42 theses and 33 journals from 2000 to June 2023. When examining the intercorrelations between variables, positive parenting attitude and intrinsic problem behavior, positive parenting attitude and external problem behavior showed medium levels of negative effect sizes, negative parenting attitude and intrinsic problem behavior, and negative parenting attitude and external problem behavior showed medium levels of positive effect sizes. Positive and negative parenting attitudes showed large negative effect sizes, and intrinsic and external problem behaviors showed large positive effect sizes. When examining the meta-structural relationship, parents’ positive parenting attitudes showed small negative effect sizes on young children’s intrinsic and external problem behaviors, and parents’ negative parenting attitudes showed medium levels of positive effect sizes on young children’s intrinsic and external problem behaviors. This study is meaningful in that it sought ways to lower the problem behavior of young children by examining the relationship between parents’ parenting attitudes and young children’s problem behavior.
