어머니의 상호작용행동이 영아의 상호작용행동과 언어발달에 미치는 영향

Abstract

Objectives This study examined the relationship between infants' language development, infants' interactive be-haviors, and mothers' interactive behaviors, and analyzed the effects of mothers' interactive behaviors on infants' interactive behaviors and infants' expressive and receptive language development.
 Methods To this end, a survey was conducted among the mothers of 170 infants under the age of 48 months who were enrolled in a daycare center in Gyeonggi-do. The collected data were calculated using the SPSS Statistics 21 program to calculate frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, skewness, kurtosis and tolerance be-tween items. Pearson's right rate correlation analysis was performed to analyze the correlation between each vari-able, and hierarchical regression analysis was performed to analyze the effect between each variable.
 Results First, as a result of analyzing the correlation between infants' language development and infants' and mothers' interactive behaviors, infants' interactive behaviors were both statically correlated with their mothers' in-teractive behaviors, and infants' language development was statically correlated with both infants' interactive be-haviors and mothers' interactive behaviors. Second, the mother's interactive behavior has been shown to have a static effect on the infant's interactive behavior. Among the sub-factors of mothers' interactive behaviors, re-activity was found to have a static effect on infants' initiative, intentional, and emotional interactions. Efficiency was found to have a static effect on infants' social interactions, and non-directiveness had a static effect on in-fants' social and emotional interactions. Third, it was confirmed that the mother's interactive behavior had a static effect on the development of expressive language and receptive language of infants.
 Conclusions First, in order to compensate for the limitations of the parent-reported evaluation method of this study, we propose a method of comparative study of parent-reported evaluation and expert direct evaluation. Second, it is necessary to analyze the influence between the sub-factors of each variable and look specifically at the relationship between each factor. Third, among the parental characteristics that affect infants' language devel-opment, there is also a need to conduct research on father-related variables and family environment variables. Fourth, in future research, it will be necessary to analyze the effect of mother's interaction behavior on the detailed developmental areas of infants and provide basic data that can promote infant development.
