The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationships of social support, marital conflict, self-efficacy, and mothers' parenting stress, which are known as affecting mothers' parenting behaviors of infants a lot. To this study, We used of Korea Institute of Child Care and Education's "Panel Survey of Korea Child; 2009" data. The subjects of mothers of 11~18 months infants 1,467(M=739, F=728). In order to analyze collected data, Person correlation analysis, regression/path analysis were used. The results of the study were as follows: First, the correlations among social support, marital conflict, self-efficacy, and mothers' parenting stress were between -.475 and .401, which are all significant on the level of within p<.01. Of those the correlation between the variable of self-efficacy, and mothers' parenting stress was shown highest as of -.475. Second, the correlations among these variables and mothers' parenting behaviors of infants were between -.484 and .350(all, p<.01). Mothers' parenting stress shows the highest correlations of all, next social support, self-efficacy, marital conflict in order. Third, multiple-correlation of .533, which explains at 28.4 percentage of total variance of the mothers' parenting behaviors. And -.396 in the degree of mothers' parenting stress, which explains at 15.7 percentage of the total variance of the mothers' parenting behaviors, while .223 in social support(4.97%). But marital conflict has not direct effects but indirect effects.

본 연구의 목적은 영아기 어머니의 양육행동에 영향을 미치는 사회적 지원, 부부갈등, 자기효능감, 그리고 양육스트레스들 간의 관련성을 살펴보고, 이들 변인이 양육행동에 각각 어느 정도 영향을 미치는지를 알아보고자했다. 이를 위해 육아정책연구소에서 조사한 "한국아동패널연구: 2009년 자료"를 사용하였으며, 대상자는 11~18개월의 영아 1,467명(남아 739명, 여아 728명)의 어머니이고, 연구방법으로 양육스트레스, 자기효능감, 사회적지원, 부부갈등과 양육행동 간의 관계를 알아보기 위해 상관분석을 했으며, 이들 변인의 영향력을 알아보기 위해 경로분석을 실시하였다. 연구결과는 첫째, 양육스트레스, 자기효능감, 사회적지원, 부부갈등과 양육행동 간의 상관은 사회적지원, 자기효능감이 정적 상관(p<.01)을, 부부갈등, 양육스트레스와는 부적 상관(p<.01)이 있었다. 둘째, 양육행동에 대한 이들 변인들의 중다상관계수는 .533으로써 양육행동 변량의 28.4%를 설명하고 있다. 그 중에 양육스트레스(${\beta}$=-.396)가 가장 많은 변량을 설명하고, 다음으로는 사회적지원(${\beta}$=.223)이였다. 부부갈등은 직접적인 영향을 주지 못하였지만 간접적인 효과는 확인된 것으로 보아 양육스트레스를 매개로 나타난다는 것을 시사한다.
