Educational Behavior of Mothers, Prosocial and Aggressive Behavior of Children of Preschool Age

Summary/Abstract: The education shapes the opinions and attitudes and behavior of the child. Based on the behavior of preschool children to their peers, we can expect the following behavior in other developmental stages, which is to involve with possible pathological behavior in the adolescence or adulthood. Therefore the study is focused on relationship between scales of parenting styles of mothers in complete family and aggressive and prosocial behavior of children to their peers in kindergarten. It also compares degree of manifestation of different kinds of behavior in boys and girls. The sample consist of 28 kindergarten teachers and 96 mothers of kids in age from 4,5 to 6,5 years coming from complete families in seven kindergartens in Bratislava region. Degree of using elements of parenting styles in mothers towards their children was measured by modified questionnaire ADOR (Matějček, Říčan, 1983) for self-assessment of mothers. For getting data of children behavior in kindergartens we used Preschool Social Behavior Scale –Teacher Form (Crick, Casas, Mosher, 1997). We haven‘t found a difference in degree of aggression and prosocial behavior between boys and girls. But we found different effect of mother´s parenting style on girls and boys. Our hypothesis was partially confirmed. Statistically significant correlations were demonstrated between the children´s behavior and exercising hostility, positive interest, directivity and inconsistency in parenting style of mothers. He wasn´t demonstrated statistically significant correlation between the children´s behavior and autonomy in parenting style of mothers. These results are largely similar to those of the foreign studies.
