Maternal Variables that Influence Children`s Social Competence
Jung Mi Choi
Abstract
This research delineated variables of maternal influences on children`s social competence. The sample consisted of 287 pairs of 5th/6th grade students, their mothers, and 8 classroom teachers in Gwangju City. Analysis included factors of mother`s adult attachment, marriage adjustment, affection in child-rearing, level of education and income. The result of multiple regression analysis indicated that affectionate child-rearing is the most significant factor contributing to child`s social competence, followed by mother`s education, close attachment, income, and anxiety attachment, in that order. These maternal variables accounted for 18% of the child`s social competence.
