어머니의 양육스트레스, 어머니 애착, 청소년 우울 간 관계: 아버지 양육스트레스의 조절된 매개효과 = The Relationship Between Mothers’ Parenting Stress, Mothers’ Attachment, and Adolescents’ Depression: The Moderated Mediation Effect of Fathers’ Parenting Stress

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study sought to examine the mediating effect of mothers' attachment on the relationship between the parenting stress of mothers and adolescents' depression, and to investigate the conditional direct and indirect effects of the parenting stress of fathers. Data from 1,142 participants in the 15th wave (2022) of the Panel Study on Korean Children (PSKC) were analyzed using the latent moderated structural equations (LMS) approach. The results indicated that mothers' attachment significantly mediated the effect of their parenting stress on adolescents' depression. For instance, higher levels of parenting stress were associated with lower mothers' attachment, which subsequently increased adolescents' depression. Second, the parenting stress of fathers showed a significant conditional indirect effect on the relationship between mothers' parenting stress and adolescents' depression through mothers' attachment. This suggests that higher levels of fathers' parenting stress amplify the effect of mothers' parenting stress on adolescents' depression through mothers' attachment. These findings highlight the importance of education and support to foster secure attachment and underscore the need to consider the fathers' parenting stress alongside the mothers' parenting stress when understanding adolescent depression.
