ABSTRACT

This paper shows a mediation effect of self-soothing between perceived maternal attitudes and psychological well-being among college students. The participants of this survey study 553 From three colleges in Korea. The EMBU, Self-Report of Soothing Receptivity, and PWBS were used for ratings, and; Pearson’s Correlation coefficients and hierarchical multiple regression were employed for analysis; the logic of Baron and Kenny(1986) was applied to prove mediation, and the Sobel test wans used to prove significance. In the relationship between college students’ perceived maternal attitudes (PMA), self-soothing (SS), and psychological well-being (PW), SS and PW showed an increasingly significant positive correlation when PMA was more affectionate. When PMA was either rejecting or over-protective, PMA was negatively correlated with both SS and PW while SS and PW were highly positively correlated with each other. In additions, when PMA was either rejecting or overprotective, SS was a complete mediator between PMA and PW, but when PMA was affectionate, it was a partial mediator. Further questions and limitations are also discussed.
