여대생의 아동기 경험과 부모됨에 대한 인식

Abstract

Objectives This study aims to investigate the relationship between female college student's childhood experiences and parenthood(perceptions of parenthood, motivations of parenthood, parental roles).
 Methods The subjects of this study were 125 female college students at two universities in Chungcheongbuk-do, and the data collected from September 1, 2020 to September 20, 2020 were analyzed using Cronbach's α, t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe's test, and Pearson correlation coefficient through the SPSS 23.0.
 Results Childhood experiences according to general characteristics showed significant differences in the survival of parents, the composition of sibling, father's educational background, mother's educational background, marital relationship, and parent-child relationship. According to the results of the post-hoc test, ‘the survival of only the mother’ in terms of the survival of parents; ‘3 or more’ in terms of the composition of sibling; ‘very close’ in terms of marital relationship, and ‘very close’ in terms of parent-child relationship were high. Motivations of parenthood showed significant differences in religion, economic status, father's educational background, and marital relationship. Parental roles showed significant differences in religion, mother's educational background, marital relationship, and parent-child relationship. The post-hoc test has found that ‘close’ was higher than ‘very close’ in terms of marital relationships. On the other hand, there was no significant differences in childhood experiences according to the perceptions of parenthood, whereas there were significant differences in motivations of parenthood in marriage plans and childbirth plans. When it comes to correlations, childhood experiences showed between motivations of parenthood(r=-.194, p=.030) and parental roles(r=-.290, p=.001), and the motivations of parenthood were correlated with parental roles(r=-.517, p=<.001).
 Conclusions The results of this study have found that parenthood is closely related to childhood experiences, and therefore practical educational plans are required to help them successfully fulfill parental roles in the era of low fertility.
