Children`s Self - Control : Effects of Mother`s Parenting and Children`s Reflection
Gi Sook Kang,Kyung Nim Lee
Abstract
This study examined the effects of mother`s parenting and children`s reflection on the development of self-control in the resistance to temptation situation. Subjects were 85 3-, 4- and 5- year old children attending educational preschool and their mothers. Each subject`s activities were videotaped for 10 minutes in the experimental settings. Children`s reflection was evaluated by Kagan`s Matching Familiar Figures Test(MFF). Mothers completed a parenting questionnaire. Results showed no age or sex difference in resistance to temptation. Task patience increased with age, and girls had more task patience than boys. Children`s resistance to temptation and task patience correlated with children`s reflection and mother`s parenting. Children`s MFF latency and mother`s permissiveness-nonintervention predicted children`s resistance to temptation. Children`s MFF errors, sex, age and mother`s warmth-acceptance predicted children`s task patience.
