摘要：This study analyzed the relationship between mother-child communication and the self-concept of young children. The subjects were 93 three-,four-,and five-year-old kindergarten children and their mothers in the city of Chunju. The self-concept test,mother-child communication inventory for children and the mother-child communication questionnaire for mothers were used. The data were analyzed by T-test,General Linear Models analysis,Duncan`s Multiple Range test,Paired T-test,and Pearson`s correlation coefficient. The major findings were that (1) the children perceived mother-child communication more intensively than mothers,(2) the more positive communication the children perceived they had with their mothers,the higher their self-concept,(3) the self-concept of 5-year-olds was more highly correlated with perception about mother-child communication than the self-concept of the younger children,and (4) boys` self-concept was more highly correlated with perceived mother-child communication than girls`.
