Children’s Social Intelligence, Mothers’ Caregiving Attitude, Parental Conflict, and Peer Bullying-Victimization

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship among children’s social intelligence, mothers’ caregiving attitude, parental conflict, and children’s peer bullying and victimization. In a sample of 287 fourth to sixth graders in Seoul and Pohang, data was analyzed with the method of frequency, percentage, t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe post-hoc analysis, Pearson correlation, and multiple regression. The results were as follows: 1. Mothers’ affectionate caregiving attitude differs between boys and girls. Mothers of boys showed more affectionate caregiving attitude to their children than mothers of girls. Boys perceived more parental conflict than girls did. Social intelligence was found higher among girls than among boys. 2. Parental conflict and peer victimization was higher among children with mothers of lower educational level than children with mothers of higher educational level. 3. For peer bullying, social perception and social-cognitive flexibility as social intelligence were found to be significant predictors. For peer victimization, parental conflict and only social-cognitive flexibility was identified as a significant predictor for peer victimization.
