Seohee Yoon , Jihyun Sung
Abstract
This study sought to illuminate a moderating effect of mother`s perception of father`s involvement on the associations between mother`s parenting efficacy and child`s emotional regulation. The participants in this study comprised 292 mothers whose children were aged between 4 and 5. The children were attending child care centers or kindergartens located in Seoul or Gyeonggi-do province in Korea. The questionnaires on mother`s parental efficacy, father`s parental involvement, and their children`s emotional regulation were distributed to mothers through their child care centers or kindergartens. The results indicated a significant correlation among the variables. Although mothers` parenting efficacy had relatively higher effects upon their children`s emotional regulation than their fathers` involvement, the effect of a fathers` involvement was still significant. In particular, the fathers` involvement in leisure activities moderated the effects of the mothers` parenting efficacy on children`s emotional comprehension and regulation(one of the sub-factors of emotional regulation).
