모의 원가족부모자녀관계가 현재 자녀와의 관계에 미치는 영향: 부부친밀감의 매개효과를 중심으로

The impacts of relationships with children from mother’s family-of-origin the parent-child relationships: focusing on the mediating effect of marital intimacy

본 연구는 모의 원가족부모자녀관계(돌봄과 과보호)가 자녀와의 관계(돌봄과 과보호)에 미치는 영향에서 부부친밀감의 매개효과를 검증하기 위함이다. 연구대상은 초등학교 4, 5, 6학년 자녀를 둔 어머니 401명이다. 연구결과, 첫째, 부부친밀감은 원가족부모자녀관계와 자녀와의 관계를 부분매개하였다. 표준화된 β값을 고려할 때, 원가족아버지의 돌봄과 과보호가 자녀에 대한 돌봄과 과보호에 미치는 영향에서 부부친밀감의 매개효과가 더 크게 나타났다. 즉, 원가족어머니의 돌봄과 과보호는 자녀에 대한 돌봄과 과보호에 직접효과가 크며, 원가족아버지의 돌봄과 과보호는 부부친밀감에 더 큰 영향 미쳐서 자녀에 대한 돌봄과 과보호에 영향을 주었다. 이는 부모교육에는 부모 모두 대상이어야 하고, 부부친밀감을 높이는 노력까지 포함되어야할 것이다.

Parenting style has been recognized as a concept which could be affected not only by parents’ past experience but also by their current environment. In this context, this study aims to examine whether the past parenting style that mother got from their family-of origin impact on their own parenting style in a sense of past experience. Besides, in order to explain the influence of current environment, this study too figures the mediating role of mother’s marital intimacy. The participants of the study are 401 mothers who have children in primary school, from grade fourth to sixth. The research model was analyzed by using Baron& Kenny’s mediating approach and Sobel-test. The results show that the marital intimacy partially mediates the association between parenting style from the mother’s family-of-origin and their own parenting style. Specifically, by regarding the standardized value, marital intimacy shows larger mediating effect on the association between father’s parenting style(care and overprotection dimensions) from the family-of-origin and own parenting style(care and overprotection dimensions). On the other hand, mother’s parenting style(care and overprotection dimensions) from the family-of-origin shows bigger direct effect on own parenting style(care and overprotection dimensions). Based on these results, it is recommended to include both of parents for parenting education. Besides, by regarding the mediating effect above, the effort to enhance marital intimacy should be considered as well.
