The goal of this research is to find out the influences a mother’s rearing attitude and childhood attachment have on a child’s playfulness. In order to achieve this goal, the following research questions were used. Research Problem 1: Does a mother’s rearing attitude and childhood attachment vary depending on the mother’s age and level of education? Research Problem 2: Does the playfulness of a child vary depending on age and gender? Research Problem 3: What kind of relationship is there between a mother’s rearing attitude and attachment, and the child’s playfulness? Research Problem 4: What kind of influence does a mother’s rearing attitude and childhood attachment have on a child’s playfulness? The subjects used for the study were 232 mothers with children at the age of three to five who are enrolled in child care facilities located in Kyunggido Suwon City and Osan City. To measure the mothers’ rearing attitude, questionnaires used in Cho In Young’s (2007) research was used. This tool is one that is reconstructed from a questionnaire adapted by Shaefer’s (1959) MBRI Lee Won Young (1983). For the mother and child attachment testing tool, a questionnaire contrived by Hwang Hyun Ju (2005) with the consideration of the state of our country was used. As for the testing tool criterion used to measure the child’s playfulness, Barenett’s (1990) children’s playfulness criterion that was produced to measure Yoo Ae Yeol’s (1994) pre-school children’s playful tendencies was adapted and used. The collected data were analyzed with the use of the program SPSS 19.0. To verify the credibility of each measuring equipment, the coefficient of Cronbach's α was calculated. Descriptive statistical analysis was also done to further understand the mother’s rearing attitude, the attachment the mother has towards their children, and the children’s playfulness. Furthermore, to verify the research problems, independent sample t- test, one-way ANOVA, correlation analysis, multiple regression analysis was done. The following are the summed up results of the study. First, as a result of analyzing mothers' rearing attitude based on their general characteristics such as age and level of education, mothers above the age of forty had a high level of controlling attitude and mothers who graduated community colleges had the highest level of rejecting attitude. Secondly, based on analyzing children's playfulness in view of their age and gender, there was no statistically significant difference in their playfulness depending on age and gender. Thirdly, when the correlation between a mother's rearing attitude and the child's playfulness was observed, there was a positive correlation between a mother's affective attitude and a child's physical spontaneity, social spontaneity, cognitive spontaneity, expression of joy, and sense of humor. Rejecting attitude on the other hand showed negative correlation with social spontaneity and expression of joy. Autonomous attitude showed a positive correlation with social spontaneity, cognitive spontaneity, expression of joy, and sense of humor and controlling attitude showed a positive correlation with social spontaneity and expression of joy. Next, when the correlation between a mother's attachment towards the child and the child's playfulness was observed, the mother's positive feeling towards attachment, its pursuit, conformity, and expectation showed a positive correlation with a child's physical spontaneity, social spontaneity, cognitive spontaneity, expression of joy, and sense of humor in playfulness. Self-sacrificing kindness of a mother and her pursuit of proximity showed a positive correlation with the child's physical spontaneity, social spontaneity, cognitive spontaneity, expression of joy. Protection also showed positive correlation with a child's physical spontaneity, social spontaneity, and expression of joy in playfulness. Coldness of a mother however, showed a negative correlation with physical spontaneity, social spontaneity, and expression of joy in playfulness. Finally, by analyzing the influence a mother's rearing attitude and attachment have on a child's playfulness, it appeared that the higher the self sacrificing heart of the mother, the lower the physical spontaneity of the child. The higher the controlling attitude of the mother, the higher the child's social spontaneity and the higher the positive attitude of the mother towards the child, the higher the social spontaneity of the child. The mother's rearing attitude and level of attachment did not appear to have influence on the child's cognitive spontaneity. Furthermore, the more the mother showed a rejecting attitude, a child's expression of joy dropped and the more the mother showed an autonomous attitude the child's level of sense of humor increased. The more the mother showed self sacrificing behavior, the child's level of sense of humor dropped, while it increased when the mother's attitudes towards the child was in unity with each other.
