유아기 자녀 어머니의 코칭역량 및 양육불안이 유아의 자아존중감에 미치는 영향

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the differences according to the mother's coaching competence and general tendency of parenting anxiety, and to find out how the mother's coaching competence and parenting anxiety affect the infant's self-esteem. The method of this study was a questionnaire survey of 259 mothers with infancy children aged 3-5 years old, and the collected data were analyzed for frequency, percentage, Pearson correlation, and multiple regression analysis using SPSS 21.0. The results of this study are as follows. First, as a result of examining the general trends of mothers' coaching competency, parenting anxiety, and children's self-esteem, the overall average score for coaching competency was higher than normal, and parenting anxiety was low. In addition, the children's self-esteem was found to be above average in the overall average. Second, there was a significant correlation between the sub-factors of the mother's coaching ability and parenting anxiety and the sub-factors of the children's self-esteem. Third, “social competency factors” among mothers' coaching competencies and “anxiety due to parental efficacy” and “concern factors for children” among parenting anxiety have a relatively influential influence on children's self-esteem. In other words, higher mother's coaching competency and lower parenting anxiety had a positive effect on the infant's self-esteem. Based on these results, this study is significant in providing basic data for parental education and program development to increase mothers' coaching capabilities and to reduce parenting anxiety.
