The purpose of this study is to find out how vocational high school students perceive their parents' rearing attitudes and to analyze its effects on self-concept and value-system. The subjects were 345 students sampled randomly in 6 vocational high schools in Kyung-ju and a total of 330 questionnaires were analyzed for research, except some false questionnaires. Three kinds of test were used as a measuring implement : value test. The result is that there is a correlation between parental rearing attitudes and students' self-concept and value-system. When parental attitudes were analyzed by 2 dimensions (affectionate and controlling), the former attitude has more effects on forming children's self-concept and value-system than the latter. Besides, the study show that grades are related to self-concept (social self, emotional self, and class self) and object value(personal happiness, public virtue, and a meaningful life). Sex also are related to self-cognition(family self, physical self, and learning self) and instrumental value(honesty, submission and service)
We can see from this study that parental affection and understanding are important for students to have a good self-concept and value-system and value. To do so, vocational students have to be educated to understand their parents' rearing attitudes and perceive them positively, not to speak of parental education.
