ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of perceived parental conflict, maternal behavior, and social support on school-age children's subjective well-being: emotional and psychological well-being. 889 children (M=10.68 years, SD= .91) were recruited from nine public elementary schools in Seoul, South Korea. Within the sample there were 464 boys and 425 girls from grades 4-6. The data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, Cronbach's alpha, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and structural equation modeling (SEM) using SPSS 12.0 and AMOS 5.0. The results were the following; First, children's perceived parental conflict is negatively related to children's subjective well-being. Second, the effect of children's perceived parental conflict on children's subjective well-being is not mediated significantly by children's perceived maternal behavior. Third, the effect of children's perceived parental conflict on children's subjective well-being is mediated by the two factors, maternal behavior and social support. Fourth, maternal behavior is positively related to children's subjective well-being. Fifth, the effect of children's perceived maternal behavior on children's subjective well-being is mediated by children's perceived social support. Sixth, children's perceived social support is positively related to children's subjective well-being.
