This study proves how mothers who have infants relate to parenting efficacy, positive emotions, and overall trends of parenting stress and relations of three things and how parenting efficacy affects parenting stress to relate to mothers positive emotion. For the sake of this, I searched 257 mothers who has 1~36 months infants of nurseries in Busan to how they relate to positive emotion, parenting stress and parenting effect. I also did descriptive statistics, correlation, and multiple regression according to mediating effect of procedure of Baron and Kenny(1986) 's 3 stages to analyze data. Effects of this study are like this First, Parenting efficacy of mothers with infants is proved to high level and averages of sub factors are affected by communication, capacity to nurse well, department support and education. Averages of their parenting stress are proved to lower than intermediate values and averages of their positive emotion are prove to high level. Second, the mother's parenting efficacy, positive emotion and perenting stress are proved that they are related to similar correlation. their parenting efficacy are related to static correlation with their positive emotions and their parenting efficacy and positive emotions are related to negative correlation with their parenting stress Third, the mother's positive emotion is proved that it intermediates correlations between parenting efficacy with parenting stress. Especially, the positive emotion absolutely mediates the correlations between their communication efficacy with parenting stress and the positive emotion and their optimistic view absolutely mediates the correlations between sub factors of their communication efficacy with parenting stress. For this reason, it is proved that their parenting efficacy and positive emotion affect to their parenting stress and their parenting efficacy that is intermediated by their positive emotion affect to their parenting stress. Not only improving their positive emotion but also their parenting efficacy is proved that they cope with parenting stress caused by nursing their children more effectively. Compared to simple correlation of parenting efficacy, positive emotion of the mother with infants and parenting stress of the existing study, this study is proved that the mother's positive emotion intermediates the correlation between their parenting efficacy with parenting stress and their positive emotion is important alternation of parenting stress.
