In this I studied how social supports and parenting confidence could affect parenting satisfaction of marriage-immigrant women mothering a child/ children, and verified what sub-factors of social supports and parenting confidence were significant in their parenting satisfaction.
The goal of this is to promote parenting satisfaction of marriage-immigrant women via exploring the variations of the social supports, their parenting confidence, and parenting satisfaction depending on ‘socio-demographic characteristics’, and thus understanding how the first two affect the last. 198 marriage-immigrant women in Jeonbuk province were surveyed, and the collected data were statistically processed by ‘SPSS 22.0 Program’ and analyzed with ‘t-test’, ‘ANOVA’, ‘Scheffe’, ‘Pearson's correlation analysis’, and ‘hierarchical regression analysis’.
The result showed that the parenting satisfaction scored higher than the social supports and parenting confidence, suggesting that they would take parenting satisfaction more importantly than the others. Seeing that most of them often become pregnant before being fluent in speaking Korean and prepared to be a parent, it seemed the speechless mother/child interaction gave them much consolation in living a life abroad, which might lead to those high scores of the parenting satisfaction.
Emotional supports were highly recognized by them among other social supports and were followed by material supports, informative supports, and evaluative supports in descending order. Marriage-immigrant women felt intimacy when there was a convenient help from the surrounding supportive system. They highly recognized emotional supports that understood them and gave them courage.
When the result of the social supports was put together, the first significant differences were appeared on ages and hobbies, and the next on education levels, countries of origin, and marital periods. The younger they were, the fewer offsprings and the more leisure time for personal studies and hobbies they would have, and such activities seemed to enable them to highly perceive social supports from the surroundings.
The parenting confidence shows a significant difference depending on ages, countries of origin, marital periods, employment statuses, and family relationships in their youth. The under-24-year-old group, the less-than-two-year-of-marriage group, the unemployed group and the positive family relationship on childhood group all showed high parenting confidence. They had some expertise, skills and interest in child raising, and thought they could do well as mother.
The parenting satisfaction is determined by five sub-factors, i.e., general satisfaction, parent/child relationship, spouse's supports, parenting conflicts, and child's supports. When the results of the entire parenting satisfaction and its sub-factors were collected, the family relationship on childhood was a common factor that showed a significant difference. The better their family relationship on childhood was, the higher parenting satisfaction they had, which showed the family relationship on childhood was a significant factor in their parenting satisfaction. Ages, education levels, and countries of origin also showed significant differences.
The effect analysis showed the social supports and parenting confidence had a significant static effect on the parenting satisfaction. Informative supports, a sub-factor of the social supports, had the most effect on the parenting satisfaction, and the next were empathic supports, evaluative supports, and material supports in descending order. Informative supports such as tips and advice about child raising was more useful for improving their parenting satisfaction rather than empathic assists, positive evaluations on their deeds, or even economic aids, which indicated that the common prejudice that they chose marriage immigration due to an economic reason was wrong.
Moreover, it appeared that parenting confidence had more effect on parenting satisfaction than social supports. Marriage-immigrant women's parenting confidence is a major factor for their parenting satisfaction, and so it is important to encourage them to promote their confidence by providing them with various educational opportunities and its relevant information.
