Abstract

This study is about how mother’s backgrounds (age, academic background, state of working, child's gender) affect mother’s child-rearing attitude and the infant’s nursery school adaption. Moreover, it shows the relation between mother’s child-rearing attitude and the infant’s nursery school adaption. This research is useful to give mother advice who’s infant has difficulty in adapting nursery school. Here, I determine the importance of the mother's role on the infant’s nursery school adaption. In addition, it suggests desirable way of mother’s child-rearing attitude. Here are detailed questions of the research. First, do mother's backgrounds affect on mother’s child-rearing attitude and the infant’s nursery school adaption? Second, what is the relation between mother’s child-rearing attitude and the infant’s nursery school adaption? Third, how does mother’s child-rearing attitude affect the infant’s nursery school adaption? The data come from 287 mothers and 37 teachers of the infants who are 1 to 5 years old using 5 different infant’s nursery school in Nam-Gu, Busan. To investigate mother’s child-rearing attitude, I used a questionnaire survey of MBRI (Mathernal Behavior Research Instrument) in Schaefer (1959) that had used in Jeong-Yeon Park (2008), Min-Hwa Kim (2016). To measure the level of infant’s nursery school adaption, the infant’s teachers filled up a questionnaire survey of PAQ (Preschool Adjustment Questionnaire) in Jewsuwan, Luster, Kostelink (2012) that was translated and edited by In-Kyung Kim (2016). There are results. First, mother’s child-rearing attitude is affected by their academic background among mother’s age, academic background, state of working and child's gender. Female infants show stronger ego strength compared to male infants. The infants whose mother gets higher academic background than college show strong ego strength. In addition, the infants whose mother has a job show more positive feeling, stronger ego strength, and higher peer group relationship than others. Second, there is correlation between mother’s child-rearing attitude and the infant’s nursery school adaption. Rejective child-rearing attitude gives positive effect on infant’s feeling and peer group relationship. When mother grows the infant under self- or controlled regulation, it is positive effect on the infant’s prosocial behavior, positive feeling, high peer group relationship, strong ego strength, adaptation on daily work. However, affectionate child-rearing attitude does not induce meaningful effect. Third, mother’s child-rearing attitude affects the infant’s nursery school adaption. Especially, self-regulative and controlled child-rearing attitudes increase the infant’s nursery school adaption, although rejective and affectionate child-rearing attitudes do not influence on the infant’s nursery school adaption.
