The purpose of this study was to promote emotional coaching communication and to contribute to the mental health of youth by investigating the perceptional discrepancy of emotional coaching between a mother and her child related to the maladjustment of adolescents. Two hundred junior high school students in the second and third grades and their 200 mothers living in Suncheon were purposefully sampled, and the data were analyzed using the program SPSSVIN 21. The results were as follows. First, the mothers' perception appeared to be higher than their children's in emotional coaching communications. Second, pairs of mothers and children were categorized into three types, depending on the degree of their emotional coaching communication. There were more pairs with discrepancies of perception of emotional coaching than pairs with corresponding perceptions. Third, the pairs with corresponding perceptions of emotional coaching showed fewer maladjustment problems. According to the mothers' descriptions, a sneering child appeared to have the worst effect with respect to maladjustment. From these results, it is suggested that education on emotional coaching for mothers should be developed and increased to prevent maladjustment problems of junior high school students. |
