Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of parenting efficacy, parenting behavior, and parenting stress on children`s problematic behavior in Korea and China. The subjects were 292 children and their mothers who are caring for their 3-5 years old children in Korea and China. Data was collected using a parenting efficacy index, parenting behavior index, parenting stress index and child behavior check list. The data were statistically analyzed using t-test, one-way ANOVA (Scheff test), correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis. The study showed that there were no significant differences in parenting efficacy, parenting behavior, parenting stress and children`s problematic behavior in Korea and China. There were some significant differences in children`s problematic behavior according to the socio-demographic variables, that is the gender of the child, the mother`s education, the father`s education, in Korea and China. Correlation analysis indicated that the parenting efficacy, parenting behavior, parenting stress and children`s problematic behavior in Korea and China had significant correlations in some sub-variables. It was also found that the gender of the child, the mother`s education, the father`s education, the frustration and uneasiness of the parents, the control behavior, and the stress of parent-child dysfunctional interaction, were all significant predictors of the preschool children`s problematic behavior in Korea, and the mother`s education, the family income, the affection behavior, the rejection behavior, and the control behavior, were all significant predictors of the preschool children`s problematic behavior in China.
