| ABSTRACT |
|
We investigated the effects of maternal parenting behavior and preschoolers' social skills on the children's withdrawal behavior. The participants were 92 mothers of five year-old preschoolers and their teachers from two day care centers and one kindergarten in Seoul and Gyeong-gi province. The data were analyzed by using descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, t-test and hierarchical regression. The major findings were summarized as follows: (1) there were no differences between the boys' and girls' withdrawal behavior. (2) the mothers' consistent parenting behavior and preschoolers' lack of assertive behavior explained the children's withdrawal behavior. In conclusion, maternal parenting behavior and preschoolers' social skills influence on the children's withdrawal behavior. |
