Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the differences between employed and unemployed mothers in parenting guilt and parenting behavior. A total of two hundred sixty-two (N=262) mothers who had children from 2 to 7 years old participated in this study. The measurement instruments are the questionnaire. The results are as follows; there were reliable differences between employed and unemployed mothers in the reason, kind and degree of their parenting guilt and parenting behavior. That is, employed mothers felt parenting guilt more for "not being able to with the child when their children need mother and when their children are sick" and employed mothers treated their child more controlling and more softly than unemployed mothers. Generally, there were low correlations between parenting guilt and parenting behaviors in groups.
