Abstract

Objectives The purposes of this study were to investigate the general trend of young children's self-regulation, paternal involvement, and maternal parenting stress, examine the relationship among the three variables, and analyze how young children's self-regulation and paternal involvement affect maternal parenting stress. Methods To this end, 213 preschoolers and their mothers from 10 daycare centers in Gyeonggi-do were selected as subjects. SPSS 25.0 program were used to conduct descriptive analysis and Pearson's correlations analysis. Finally, multiple regression analysis was conducted to find out their effects. Results The results of this study showed that the average of young children's self-regulation, paternal involvement, and maternal parenting stress were all higher than the average group, and the self-regulation and paternal involvement were negatively correlated with maternal parenting stress. In addition, when examining the effects of young children's self-regulation and paternal involvement on maternal parenting stress, behavioral inhibition was significantly effective on daily stress, and all sub-factors of the self-regulation were influenced on parental role and distress. Conclusions This study is significant in that it verified the variable that predicts maternal parenting stress with examining the personal variable of preschoolers and parenting environment variable which are currently highlighted, and sorting through the sub-factors of maternal parenting stress.
