The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of father and mothers' parental attitudes in early childhood on parental efficacy and to examine the mediating effects of parent-child communication on the relationship between father and mother's parental attitudes and parental efficacy. This study suggests a practical intervention plan for the improvement of father and mothers' efficacy in early childhood period by clarifying the influence relationship and effect on parental efficacy. The subjects of the study were parents with children at early childhood selected from 10 kindergartens and 10 daycare centers in Ulju-gun district and Nam-gu district, Ulsan, Korea conducted for 3 months from December 1, 2015 to February 29, 2016. A total of 500 questionnaires were distributed and self-administered questionnaire survey method was used. A total of 428 questionnaires (214 fathers and 214 mothers) were used for statistical analysis excluding 72 which were either not collected or from insincere respondents. The parental efficacy, parental attitude, and parent-child communication were used as the measurement tools in the study. The sub-factors of parent efficacy consists of efficacy as parents, anxiety and frustration as parents, and parental attitude consists of affectional parenting, rejective parenting, autonomous parenting, and controlled parenting. The parent-child communication consists of positive communication and negative communication. For the analysis method, reliability was verified using SPSS WIN21.0 statistical program. Descriptive statistics was carried out in order to identify the characteristics of study subjects, Pearson correlation analysis was carried out to figure out the relationship between the independent and dependent variables and regression analysis was performed to verify the effects of the independent and dependent variables. In addition, hierarchical regression analysis and Sobel test were conducted to verify the mediating effects between independent variables and dependent variables. The results of the study are summarized as follows. First, the higher the affectional parenting attitude of a father, the higher his parental efficacy as a father. The higher the rejective parenting attitude of a father, the lower his parental efficacy as a father. In addition, mothers' parental efficacy was higher, the higher her affectional parenting attitude, and mothers' parental efficacy was lower the higher her rejective and controlling parenting attitude. In particular, the rejective parenting attitude showed lower parental efficacy than the controlling parenting attitude. On the other hand, the higher the affectional parenting attitude, the lower the parental anxiety and frustration, and the higher the rejective parenting attitude, the higher the parental anxiety and frustration. Second, positive parent-child communication was higher the higher the father's affectional and autonomous parenting attitudes, and negative parent-child communication was higher the higher the father's rejective parenting attitude. The higher the affectional and the lower the rejective parenting attitudes of a mother, the higher the positive parent-child communication. The higher the mother's affectional parenting attitude, the lower the negative parent-child communication. In addition, the higher the positive communication between parent and child, the higher the efficacy as parents and the less anxiety and frustration as parents. Third, communication between father and child partially mediated the relationship between affectional parenting attitude and efficacy as parents, and partially mediated the relationship between affectional parenting attitude and rejective parenting attitude and parental anxiety and frustration . In addition, the communication between mother and child fully mediated the relationship between affectional parenting, rejective parenting, and parental efficacy, and partially mediated the relationship between rejective parenting, anxiety and frustration . Based on the results of the study, the following suggestions were made. First, the results of the analysis of the difference between the mother and father as to their parental attitudes, parent-child communication and parental efficacy showed that mother's and the communication between mother-child appeared to be more positive as well. It showed that satisfaction with parental efficacy was higher on fathers than mothers. As a result, it was found that the role of mothers is very important for child-care and communication. In addition, parent efficacy was found to be higher on the mother than that of the father, and this result showed that the parental efficacy needs to be improved through father's affectionate parenting attitude and positive communication. Therefore, after establishing a parent education support service system in the Child Care Comprehensive Support Center and the Early Childhood Education Center within the local education support team, we should develop a parent education program on father's role and effective communication with their child to promote father's parenting role. In addition, parent-child attitudes and parent-child communication differ between father and mother, so it is necessary to carry out diverse and in-depth studies to increase parental efficacy according to the demographic characteristics of father and mother. Second, parent-child communication was found to partially mediate the relationship between affective parenting attitude, rejective parenting attitude and parental efficacy. This result shows that parental efficacy increases when father and mother have high affectionate parenting attitudes and low rejective parenting attitudes. Therefore, it was found that communication is an important factor in improving parenting attitude and parental efficacy. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a communication activation program that can acquire a positive communication method between parents and children and promote learning about communication methods between parents and children. In addition, by promoting positive communication between parents and children, parental efficacy should be improved by reducing anxiety and frustration as parents. Future intervention plan for parent education program should be prepared ，韩语论文范文，韩语论文范文 |
