Abstract:
Objective: To study the relationship between negative behavior of preschool children and behavior of their mothers. Method.. 742 mothers of children in their 3 ~ 6 year old age were tested by self- made questionnaire. Results: Negative behavior was not significantly related to age and gender of children. It was negatively related to maternal supporting behavior and positively to maternal un- supporting behavior. The culture background (urban/rural), family income and mother' s occupation were found to be important factors mediating maternal un- supporting behavior. Conclusion: Negative behavior of preschool children is influenced by mother' s behavior, which in turn has its cultural - economical background.
