Abstract

The study aimed to investigate psychological implications of Korean mother’s tendency to base their feelings of worth contingent on children’s academic performance (i.e., child-based self-worth), on mother’s parenting behaviors and children’s psychological adjustment. The hypothesis is that Korean mother’s child-based self-worth is more of a cultural phenomenon and child-based self-worth itself would not be negatively associated with children’s psychological functioning. Yet, when Korean mother’s child-based self-worth was associated with maladaptive parenting behavior (i.e., psychologically controlling parenting) it was detrimental to their children. In other words, the hypothesis is that psychologically controlling parenting would fully mediate the relationship between child-based self-worth of mothers’ and psychological functioning of children’s. The hypothesis was tested among 315 children from 4~6 grade (M=11.02, SD=.83), and their mothers. Mothers reported child-based self-worth. Mothers and children reported mothers’ psychologically controlling parenting. Children reported on their internalizing behavior problems, and their school teachers reported on externalizing behavior problems of children. The hypothesis was confirmed using structural equation modeling. As predicted, mother’s child-based self-worth itself was not related to children’s internalizing and externalizing behavior problems. However, mother’s child-based self-worth was positively associated with psychologically controlling parenting, and psychologically controlling parenting in turn, predicted children’s behavior problems.
