ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between sociability, activity and emotionality of infants, which are the sub-factors of temperament, and their mothers' self-esteem, social parenting, value of children, self-efficacy, parenting stress and depression, which are the major factors of maternal parenting. The 3rd-year data of Panel Study on Korean Children were used, and two independent samples t-test, correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis were carried out to analyze the data. The findings of the study were as follows: First, there were close mutual relationships between the maternal parenting factors and infant temperament. Second, the self-esteem, social upbringing, and emotional value expectations of children, which are positive factors of mothers’parenting, have a positive effect on infant temperament. Given the findings of the study, temperament should be regarded as a variable factor, rather than as an invariable one, in studies of infants and preschoolers. This study implies that the research on infant studies is based on factors that can be changed without changing the temperament.
