유아기 자녀를 둔 어머니의 양육 불안과 양육 행동의 관계

Objectives The purposes of this study were to investigate the relationship between mothers’ parenting anxiety and parenting behavior(positive parenting behavior, negative parenting behavior) for their early childhood children. Methods To verify this research problem, data were analyzed on 290 mothers who were raising at least one children between 2 and 6 years old across the country. For the collected data, descriptive statistics, adequacy correlation analysis, hierarchical regression analysis, and sequential dual mediating effect analysis were performed using SPSS 26.0 and Macro v4.0. Results First, parenting anxiety, parenting stress, and coparenting of early childhood mothers all showed significant correlation with parenting behavior. Second, as a result of verifying the individual mediating effect, parenting stress showed a complete mediating effect and coparenting a partial mediating effect. Third, the dual mediating effects of parenting stress and coparenting were completely mediated, and at this time, it was verified that the influence of coparenting was greater than parenting stress. Conclusions By confirming the meaiating role of parenting stress and coparenting in the relationship between parenting anxiety and parenting behavior, empirical evidence has been established regarding the psychological variables influencing parenting behavior and the significance of coparenting.

Knowledge and Attitude of Mothers Regarding Early Childhood Health Protocol Implementation During the Covid-19 Pandemic

Aim: Since Sars-CoV-2, a new strain of the coronavirus, has become a global pandemic, we need to take precautionary measures and establish health procedures. The study aimed to determine the relationship between knowledge and mothers' attitudes regarding the application of health protocols for early childhood during the Covid-19 pandemic at Majalengka Regency. Method: This cross-sectional study was conducted in 2021 with a sample size of 51 mother-and-child pairs from kindergartens in the Majalengka Regency of West Java. Knowledge and attitude measurement using good validity and reliability reported questionnaires. Result: The results of the mother's knowledge were good, namely 82.4%, while the level of knowledge was sufficient at 17.6%. The results of the mother's attitude supported 56.9% and did not support 43.1%. The cross-tabulation results obtained a p-value of 0.714, which is greater than 0.05, meaning there is no relationship between knowledge and mothers' attitudes about the application of health protocols in early childhood. Conclusion: Based on the study result, family members and nurses in public health centers can increase counseling regarding health protocols for early childhood mothers. They need to work with health workers or local health agencies to counsel and motivate mothers to increase attitudes toward implementing health protocols in early childhood during the Covid-19 pandemic.

The current study examined the association between attachment style and adjustment in romantic relationships as well as the association between perceptions of adult attachment and adjustment in romantic relationships. 65 cohabitating couples aged from 21 to 32 years were recruited for the study. Couples completed the following self-report questionnaires: 1) Perceptions of Adult Attachment Questionnaire, PAAQ, Lichtenstein & Cassidy, 1991, 2) Experiences in Close Relationships Inventory, ECR, Brennan, Clark & Shaver, 1998 and 3) Dyadic Adjustment Scale, DAS, Spanier, 1976. Results showed that secure couples (both partners described themselves as securely attached) as well as mixed couples (one partner chose the secure description and the other defined himself or herself as insecure) reported higher relationship quality compared to both insecure couples (both partners described themselves as insecurely attached). Analyses aimed to test the links between early attachment experiences and marital relationship quality illustrated that both partners’ rejection from their mother in early childhood had a detrimental effect on women’s marital adjustment.

Розвиток християнської моралі дітей в українському дошкіллі на початку ХХ століття

Формування духовного світу особистості дитини – важлива проблема сьогодення. Одним із чинників цього складного процесу є християнська мораль. У статті проаналізовано розвиток християнської моралі дітей в українському дошкіллі Галичини на початку ХХ століття. Розкрито внесок Української греко-католицької церкви (УГКЦ), митрополита Андрея Шептицького, священика і педагога Юліана Дзеровича, жіночих чернечих згромаджень, освітніх і громадських діячів у процес навчання та виховання дітей, їхній фізичний та моральний розвиток, формування духовності, виховання патріотичних почуттів. Показано діяльність українських громадських товариства в цій царині. Схарактеризовано організаційну структуру українського громадського дошкілля. Автори стверджують про тісний зв’язок національного та християнського (релігійного) виховання в українському дошкіллі. Початки релігійно-етичного виховання дитина отримувала від матері в ранньому дитинстві (вивчення дитячих молитов, перші пояснення про Христа та святих, навчання поведінки в церкві тощо), потім розширювала, поглиблювала вихователька, навчаючи молитов, колядок, дитячих оповідань релігійного жанру, розповідаючи про добро та милосердя, які сповідував Господь. Крізь призму своїх переживань, почуттів дитина пізнавала основи християнської правди.

Promoting Young Children’s Interest in Learning English in EFL Context: The Role of Mothers

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a mother’s motivation for providing English education to a young child on the provision of English education and the child’s interest in learning English. Also, the mediating role of the type of English education provided (English interaction at home and English private lessons) between a mother’s motivation and a child’s interest in learning English was examined. In total, 414 Korean mothers of 3-to-5-year-olds reported their motivation for providing English education to their child, frequency of English interaction at home, and the duration of English private lessons the child experienced. The degree of a child’s interest in learning English was measured by both the child’s mother and the teacher. The main results are as follows. First, a mother’s integrative motivation had a positive effect on the provision of English education. On the other hand, a mother’s instrumental motivation did not have a significant effect on the provision of English education. Also, a mother’s integrative motivation had an indirect effect on a child’ interest in learning English through English interaction at home. A mother’s integrative motivation had a direct effect on a child’s interest in learning English as well. This study is theoretically meaningful in that the concept of integrative and instrumental motivation of foreign language learners is extended to the mothers who provide foreign language education to their young children. Also, this study provides practical implications for early childhood mothers by highlighting the importance of integrative motivation and English interaction at home to enhance the child’s interest in learning English.

Regression and the Maternal in the History of Psychoanalysis, 1900–1957

This paper examines the history of the concept of ‘regression’ as it was perceived by Sandor Ferenczi and some of his followers in the first half of the twentieth century. The first part provides a short history of the notion of ‘regression’ from the late nineteenth century to Ferenczi's work in the 1920s and 1930s. The second and third parts of the paper focus on two other thinkers on regression, who worked in Britain, under the influence of the Ferenczian paradigm – the interwar Scottish psychiatrist, Ian D. Suttie; and the British-Hungarian psychoanalyst, and Ferenczi's most important pupil, Michael Balint. Rather than a descriptive term which comes to designate a pathological mental stage, Ferenczi understood ‘regression’ as a much more literal phenomenon. For him, the mental desire to go backwards in time is a universal one, and a consequence of an inevitable traumatic separation from the mother in early childhood, which has some deep personal and cultural implications. The paper aims to show some close affinities between the preoccupation of some psychoanalysts with ‘regression’, and the growing interest in social and cultural aspects of ‘motherhood’ and ‘the maternal role’ in mid-twentieth-century British society.

유아 어머니의 심리적 특성이 언어적 학대에 미치는 영향

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the factors that influence verbal abuse in early childhood mothers and to examine the fitness of a path model among these variables. The goal of the study was to provide fundamental data on ways in which verbal abuse by early childhood mothers can be prevented. Methods: The data was collected by using self report questionnaires from December 7th to 25th, 2011. The subjects were 320 early childhood mothers who had children in kindergarten. In order to estimate the hypothesized model, the data was analyzed using the AMOS 18.0 programs for structural equation modeling. Results: Parenting stress, anger and anger expression demonstrated a direct effect on causing verbal abuse by early childhood mothers. This study suggest that parental education program are necessary which a early childhood mothers can be express positively about parenting stress and anger.

The Mother Relationship and Artistic Inhibition in the Lives of Leonardo da Vinci and Erik H. Erikson

In four earlier articles, I focused on the theme of the relationship of melancholia and the mother, and suggested that the melancholic self may experience humor (Capps, 2007a), play (Capps, 2007b), dreams (Capps, 2008a), and art (Capps, 2008b) as restorative resources. I argued that Erik H. Erikson found these resources to be valuable remedies for his own melancholic condition, which had its origins in the fact that he was illegitimate and was raised solely by his mother until he was three years old, when she remarried. In this article, I focus on two themes in Freud's Leonardo da Vinci and a memory of his childhood (1964): Leonardo's relationship with his mother in early childhood and his inhibitions as an artist. I relate these two themes to Erikson's own early childhood and his failure to achieve his goal as an aspiring artist in his early twenties. The article concludes with a discussion of Erikson's frustrated aspirations to become an artist and his emphasis, in his psychoanalytic work, on children's play.

The loss of the transitional object - Some thoughts about transitional and ‘pre-transitional’ phenomena

This paper examines the use made of the transitional object in order to construct a coherent sense of self. Examples are cited from both Freud's and Winnicott's work about the use of an object to manage separations and extend a sense of self. Then some current case material is presented to make sense of the meaning of a patient's strong attachment to a negative transitional object in childhood. Its influence on her current state of mind and relationships is explored. A theoretical term, ‘the existential object’, is introduced to make sense of her use of objects. Contemporary thinking about the loss of the mother in early childhood and its influence on the sense of self is explored with reference to Andre Green's work, which is then related to Freud's and Winnicott's earlier thinking on the subject.

The Relationship Between Siblings and Their Mother in Early Childhood

This article examines current research pertaining to the relationship between a mother and her children, and how this relationship may affect sibling interactions. Issues such as temperament, gender, and the age gap between children are also explored to ascertain their impact on the sibling relationship. The displacement of the first-born child and the ensuing sense of loss and anger he may experience as a result of this is explored. The mother's second pregnancy is also discussed in regard to the impact of unresolved issues relating to her own sibling relations. The mother's interactions with each child, her role as a model for identification, and marital relations are discussed in light of their impact on sibling relations. The evolution of a positive attachment between siblings is explored. Rivalrous behavior between siblings is also discussed, particularly in association to the mother's treatment of her own children and the manner in which the mother deals with her own aggression.

Madres sabias, musas y monjas cantoras: transmisión musical y magisterio femenino en la Edad Media

Right from beginning of time, since early childhood mothers have introduced the sound of humming into society. Even mythology provides powerful and symbolic examples of women transmitting music as an art. In traditional societies music was always a predominantly female practice, until its shift to academies (typical of a patriarchy), relieved women of their duty. Nevertheless, during the old regime one is able to reconstruct various musical transmission links. Of the various enviroments where this is apparent Y shall concentrate on the monastic, especially on the figure of the female singer, a job which involved the interpretation as well as the teaching of music.

Childhood stress, behavioural symptoms and mother–daughter pubertal development

Belsky, Steinberg and Draper (Child Development1991,62, 647–670) predicted that early childhood stress or conflict in the family environment would be associated with childhood behavioural symptoms, early puberty and early, less discriminate sexual behaviour. Their theory was tested in a retrospective self-report survey in 28 daughters (aged 12 to 15) and 21 mothers. In daughters, earlier menarche correlated with more family stress in a late childhood (age 7 to 11); more conflict with mother in early childhood (birth to age 6); more rejection from and less closeness to mother throughout childhood (birth to age 11); more anxiousness and internalizing symptoms (anxiousness/depression) in late childhood (age 7 to 11); earlier age at dating boys; and more boyfriends. An alternative interpretation is considered based on genetic transmission of maternal characteristics.

Gottfried Benn und die Psychiatrie

As a young physician the poet Gottfried Benn (1886-1956) gave up a promising career in psychiatry after short period in practice. A psychodynamic analysis of this failure stresses the importance of the relationship of father and son in adolescence for the maturing of ego identity and ego ideal. At the beginning of this century psychiatry was a medical field with strong materialistic and biologistic positions. Benn embraced this position and tried to distance himself from his father, who was a charismatic priest with psychotherapeutic ambition. Benn experienced difficulty in competing with his father and this can be attributed to disturbances in his relationship to his mother in early childhood. The consequence was e.g. a narcissistic vulnerability in adulthood. The contrast of the splendid success in brain research with its inapplicability in routine therapy was characteristic of the state of psychiatry at the time of Benn's failure.
