유아의 연령 및 성별과 부모의 양육태도에 따른 유아의 친사회적 행동

This study examined the effect of parenting style on children`s prosocial behavior. Children`s prosocial behaviors were examined by 3 factors : adaptation to school life, relationships with others, and ability to control emotions. Subjects were 195 three-, four-, and five-year-old children and their parents. Children`s prosocial behavior differed as a function of children`s age but not gender. Children`s relationships with others among the prosocial behaviors showed a statistically significant difference by mother`s autonomous parenting style. Unexpectedly, children`s prosocial behaviors did not vary according to fathers` parenting style.
