사람들은 일상에서 다양한 실패와 성공경험을 하게 되는데, 이러한 결과의 원인을 어떻게 설명하는가에 따라 이후의 정서와 행동의 동기, 기대가 달라지며 수행에도 영향을 미칠 수 있다 (Weiner, 1979, 1986). 어떤 실패상황에서도 항상 자신의 책임이라 여기는 사람은 자신의 능력과 노력을 의심하고 자신감이 결여되어 새로운 일에 직면해도 도전하지 못하고 쉽게 포기할 가능 성이 높다. 이와 반대로, 실수를 항상 자신의 탓으로 돌리지 않고, 이를 극복하기 위해 적극적으 로 노력하는 사람들은 다음에 더 좋은 결과를 얻을 수 있다는 희망적 태도를 갖고, 다시 도전하 고 동기 부여될 가능성이 높다. 이와 같이 자신에게 발생할 일들에 대해, 그 상황의 원인을 무엇 으로 설명하는가를 이해하는 것은 중요하다고 볼 수 있다.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship among perceived mothers’psychological control, affectionate-rational parenting and children’s attributional style. The main and interaction effects of psychological control, affectionate-rational parenting on children’s attributional style were also explored. Methods: The participants of this study were 253 children from elementary schools located in Seoul and Incheon. Data were analyzed through Pearson's correlation, and hierarchical regression using SPSS 22.0. Results: The major findings of this study were as follows. First, children’s attributional style for negative events was positively associated with psychological control but negatively associated with affectionate-rational parenting. Moreover, attributional style for positive events was positively associated with only affectionate-rational parenting. Second, affectionate-rational parenting significantly influenced children’s attributional style for both negative events and positive events. Finally, significant interaction effects of psychological control and affectionate-rational parenting on children’s attributional style for negative events were observed. Conclusion/Implications: This study revealed that mothers’ psychological control and affectionate-rational parenting are important factors in explaining children’s attributional style. Such results could be used as an effective resource in developing parent education programs or intervention programs for attributional style.
