ABSTRACT

This study aimed to examine the effects of Korean and Chinese mothers' parenting environment and parenting stress on children's anxiety during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study participants were 135 Korean mothers and 209 Chinese mothers of children aged 3-5 years old. Frequency, correlation, and multiple regression analyses were performed using SPSS 21.0. First, Korean and Chinese mothers reported that their parenting time increased during the COVID-19 due to the closure of children's educational institutions. Second, Korean mothers' parenting stress was significantly higher than Chinese mothers. Finally, for Korean mothers, the experience of self-quarantine, confirmed cases in the family, and parenting stress were significant variables on the children's anxiety. Chinese mothers' parenting stress affected the Chinese children's anxiety. This study provides information about the parenting environment during the COVID-19 pandemic and the factors that could affect children's anxiety.
