Traditional Korean American discipline is characterized by a lack of expression of affection and use of harsh discipline.
The purpose of this study was to pilot test the effect of the Incredible Years Parenting Program among Korean American mothers.
A randomized controlled experimental study design was used; 29 first-generation Korean American mothers of young children (3-8 years old) were randomly assigned to intervention (n=20) and control (n=9) groups. Intervention group mothers received a 12-week parenting program. Control group mothers did not receive the intervention. Mothers reported on discipline styles (positive, appropriate, and harsh), level of acculturation, and their child's outcomes (behavioral problems and social competence) at pre-, post-, and 1-year follow-up intervals.
After completing the program, intervention group mothers significantly increased use of positive discipline as compared to control group mothers. Among intervention group mothers, high-acculturated mothers significantly increased appropriate discipline whereas low-acculturated mothers significantly decreased harsh discipline. In the 1-year follow-up, intervention group mothers maintained the significant effect for positive discipline.
Providing this program appears to be a promising way of promoting positive discipline among Korean American mothers.
韩裔美籍传统教养方式的特点是缺乏情感表达且采用严厉的管教方式。
本研究旨在对韩裔美籍母亲进行“神奇岁月育儿计划”效果的初步测试。
采用随机对照实验研究设计；29名第一代韩裔美籍幼儿（3至8岁）母亲被随机分为干预组（n = 20）和对照组（n = 9）。干预组母亲接受为期12周的育儿计划。对照组母亲未接受干预。母亲们在干预前、干预后及1年随访时报告管教方式（积极、恰当和严厉）、文化适应程度以及孩子的结果（行为问题和社会能力）。
完成该计划后，与对照组母亲相比，干预组母亲显著增加了积极管教方式的使用。在干预组母亲中，文化适应程度高的母亲显著增加了恰当管教方式的使用，而文化适应程度低的母亲显著减少了严厉管教方式的使用。在1年随访中，干预组母亲保持了积极管教方式的显著效果。
提供该计划似乎是促进韩裔美籍母亲采用积极管教方式的一种有前景的方法。
