摘要：This study examined mothers' ratings of everyday rules for their young children. Participants were 294 mothers of 2- to 5-year old children attending kindergartens and nursery schools in Korea. Data were cllected by questionaie and were analyzed by x. Results indicaed that the majority of mothers' rules for their children pertained to safety,interpersonal issues,and as children got older,social conventions. Mothers endorsed prudential justifications for safety and self care,moral justifications for interpersonal rules,practical and moral justifications for safeguarding property,and conventional justifications for obedience/order and food/mealtime routines. Analyses of mothers' judgments of rule independence indicated that rules on interpersonal and safety isues were to be kept without exception.
