Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effects of parental attachment and time use satisfaction on school adaptation among elementary school students. Methods: Data on parental attachment, time use satisfaction, and school adaptation were extracted from 1,172 elementary school student respondents who participated in the 12th panel of the Korean Children’s Panel Study in 2019. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t-test, correlation analysis, and hierarchical multiple regression analysis. Results: The results showed that school adaptation correlated positively with communication with parents, trust, and time use satisfaction. Conversely, it correlated negatively with feelings of alienation from parents. Parental attachment and time use satisfaction collectively accounted for 25% of the influence on school adaptation. Conclusion: To enhance children’s school adaptation, parents must invest quality time with their children. Public support and environmental changes are suggested and may be necessary to facilitate this process.
