AB - This study identified latent profiles of mothers based on parental calling, child-based self-worth, positive parenting, and psychological control, and examined differences in happiness, parenting stress, and mother–child relationship satisfaction. A total of 518 Korean mothers with children aged 13–18 participated. Latent profile analysis revealed five groups: High Calling–Supportive Type (11.1%), Committed Calling–Parenting Type (25.3%), Moderate Type (48.1%), Obligated Calling–Controlling Type (4.0%), and Restricted Calling–Controlling Type (11.5%). Mothers in profiles with higher calling and positive parenting reported higher happiness and relationship satisfaction, and lower parenting stress.
However, the Obligated Calling–Controlling Type showed high stress and low well-being despite high calling. These results suggest that the combination of parental calling, parenting behaviors, and psychological attitudes toward children can lead to either adaptive or maladaptive outcomes
