ABSTRACT
This study was to examine the effect of the mother’s rearing attitude and mother-child relationship, as perceived by the child, on adjustment to school life. The present study investigated how the mother’s rearing attitude and mother-child relationship, as perceived by the child, influence school life adjustment. The participants were 300 4th grade elementary school students (173 boys and 127 girls), in Seoul. The data were analyzed using Pearson’s correlation and multiple regression, by SPSS 12.0 program. The results were as follows: 1) The child who perceived the mother’s rearing attitude to be more rational and democratic, was more adaptive in school life. 2) The motherchild relationship that the child perceived, had a positive relationship with the school life adjustment of the child. The child who perceived the mother-child relationship more positively, was more adaptive in school life. 3) In relationship with the teacher and school class, the mother’s democratic rearing attitude, as perceived by the child, was found to be the most affecting factor. In relationship with the classmates and school rules, the mother-child relationship, as perceived by the child, was found to be the most affecting factor.
Keywords: mother’s rearing attitude, mother-child relationship, school adjustment
