Abstract

This study examines the effect of parental attachment on children's life satisfaction based on the relationship between parent attachment, life satisfaction, and ego resilience for children (5th grade elementary school). The purpose is to find out if it mediates the relationship. For this reason, data from the 12th year (2019) of the Korean Children's Panel of the Research Institute for Parenting Policy were used. In the 12th year data, most of the panel children who participated so far went on to the 5th grade of elementary school and became the upper grade of elementary school, so the variables were modified and expanded to reflect the developmental characteristics of the panel children. Data from 1,171 people who responded to all of parental attachment, ego resilience, and life satisfaction among the 1,600 currently maintained sample of 2,150 households in the Korean Children's Panel were analyzed. As a result of this study, first, parental attachment was found to have a positive effect on children's life satisfaction. Second, parental attachment was found to have a positive effect on ego resilience. Third, it was found that ego resilience mediates the relationship between parental attachment and children's life satisfaction. Therefore, this study intends to examine the relationship between parental attachment and life satisfaction in detail through ego resilience. Through this, it is intended to prepare an in-depth academic understanding and action plan for changes in children's life satisfaction.

본 연구는 아동(초등학교 5학년)을 대상으로 부모애착, 삶의 만족도, 자아탄력성과의 관계를 토대로 부모애착이 아동의 삶의 만족도에 미치는 영향을 살펴보고, 자아탄력성이 부모애착과 삶의 만족도 관계를 매개하는지 알아보는데 목적이 있다. 이에 육아정책연구소의 한국아동패널 12차년도(2019년) 자료를 사용하였다. 12차년도 자료에서는 지금까지 참여해 온 패널 아동들 대부분이 초등학교 5학년에 진학하여 초등학교 고학년이 됨으로써 패널 아동들의 발달특성을 반영하여 변인을 수정·확장하였다. 한국아동패널 2,150 가구 중 현재 유지되고 있는 1,600여명의 표본 중 부모애착, 자아탄력성, 삶의 만족도 모두에 응답한 1171명의 자료를 분석하였다. 본 연구결과 첫째, 부모애착이 아동의 삶의 만족도에 정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 부모애착이 자아탄력성에도 정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 부모애착과 아동의 삶의 만족도 관계에서 자아탄력성이 매개하는 것으로 나타났다. 이에 본 연구에서는 부모애착과 삶의 만족도와의 관계를 자아탄력성을 통해 구체적으로 살펴보고자 한다. 이를 통해 아동의 삶의 만족도 변화에 대한 깊이 있는 학문적 이해와 실천방안을 마련하고자 한다.
