The effects of parental attachment and empathy on social competence were examined with a sample of 403 fifth and sixth graders (192 males, 211 females) attending elementary school in Gyoung-gi province. All research variables were measured using self-reported questionnaires conducted by the children concerned. Date were analyzed by means of structural equation modeling. The results indicated that parental attachment had no direct effect, but there was an indirect effect on children`s social competence mediated by children`s empathy. Maternal attachment influenced children`s social competence relatively more than paternal attachment. As compared to parental attachment, however, children`s empathy was the more influential variable when it came to social competence. These results were consistent in both genders. The results of this study emphasize that children`s own characteristics such as empathy tend to be important factors in developing social competence compared to the parental role in middle childhood. Accordingly, interventions aimed at improving children`s empathy need to be emphasized in order to develop children`s social competence of gender. |
