Abstract

The purpose of the study was to examine the effects of fathers' sex-role attitude and parenting involvement on mothers' parenting stress. The subjects were 383 parents with young children aged 3-5 in Metropolitan area, South Korea. We measured the study variables using the questionnaires. The collected data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation analyses, and the analyses of multiple regression using SPSS 21.0. The results showed that both fathers' sex-role attitude and fathers' parenting involvement had the statistically significant negative correlations with mothers' parenting stress. Second, fathers' sex-role attitude and parenting involvement showed the statistically significant negative effects on mothers' parenting stress. We suggest that it is necessary to promote the fathers modern and desirable sex-role attitude and to support fathers' participation in parenting in order to alleviate the parenting stress of mothers with young children.

본 연구의 목적은 유아기 자녀를 둔 아버지의 성역할태도와 양육참여 및 어머니 양육스트레스 간 관계를 살펴보고, 아버지의 성역할태도와 양육참여가 어머니 양육스트레스에 미치는 영향을 고찰하는 것이다. 연구대상은 수도권 소재 유치원에 재원중인 유아의 어머니와 아버지 383쌍이다. 아버지의 성역할태도와 양육참여 및 어머니의 양육스트레스는 설문지를 사용하여 측정했다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS 21.0을 활용하여 분석했으며, 기술통계분석과 Pearson의 적률상관분석 및 중다회귀분석을 실시했다. 연구결과로는 첫째, 아버지의 성역할태도가 근대적이고 양육참여에 많이 참여할수록 어머니의 양육스트레스가 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 아버지의 근대적 성역할태도와 높은 양육참여는 어머니의 양육스트레스를 감소시키는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 본 연구결과는 유아기 자녀를 둔 어머니 양육스트레스를 경감시키기 위해 아버지의 근대적이고 바람직한 성역할태도를 고취시키며 양육참여를 높이도록 지원하는 것이 필요함을 시사한다.
