This study investigated child aggression, social skills, and parenting styles by administering questionnaires at public preschools in Tainan, Taiwan. A stratified cluster random sampling method was adopted to recruit participants and 487 valid questionnaires were retrieved. The following research instruments were employed: Overt Aggression Scale, Relational Aggression Scale, Children's Social Skills Scale, and Parenting Styles And Dimension Questionnaire. A statistical analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics, a t test, chi-squared test, Pearson's correlation, and regression analysis. The research results are as follows: 1. The children exhibited low aggression and high social skills, and most of their parents adopted an authoritative parenting style. 2. Regarding the demographic variables, the boys were significantly more aggressive than the girls were, but age had a nonsignificant influence on their level of aggression. 3. Among the social skill variables, self-control, friend-making, and self-expression skills were significantly negatively correlated with overall aggression and overt aggression. All social skills and significantly negative correlation was observed between the self-control skill and relational aggression. 4. Regarding parenting styles, a positive correlation was observed between the authoritarian parenting style, patriarchal and maternal authoritarian parenting style and overt aggression; in particular, authoritative parenting style and maternal authoritative parenting style was negatively correlated with overt aggression. No significant correlation was observed between the parenting style variables and relational aggression. 5. Self-control and friend-making skills can effectively predicted overall aggression, overt aggression, and relational aggression. In particular, the self-control skill attained the largest predictive power for aggression. Patriarchal authoritarian and maternal authoritarian parenting styles effectively predicted child overt aggression. |
