Abstract Details

2006, Doctor of Philosophy, Ohio State University, Communication.
Public deliberation occurs everywhere in a today’s Korean society. However, public deliberation does not seem to operate as well as it is expected to. Particularly, public deliberation in the online sphere is frequently marred due to anonymous discussants’ uninhibited linguistic expressions. Hence, this study began with two questions: (1) What causes online public deliberation to malfunction? and (2) how are today’s Korean citizens able to fix the problematic factors to online public deliberation? With regards to the first question, I assume that a lack of online discussants’ deliberation-relevant communication skills would be the major culprit to damaged public deliberation. With respect to an answer for the second question, I believed that the acquisition of deliberation-relevant communication abilities through parental communication should be the patent medicine to cure injured public deliberation. This study was to investigate the effects of Korean mothers’ communication practices on their children’s emotion-regulative and social-cognitive abilities that are essential properties to develop deliberation-relevant communication abilities. Eighteen hypotheses were established to test relationships between mother-child communication practices and children’s emotion-regulative and social-cognitive abilities. Data were collected with 329 college freshmen and 52 their mothers by using the paper and pencil questionnaire. The results showed that emotional regulation capacity was positively associated only with the descriptive mode of maternal linguistic expression. Interpersonal construct system properties were positively associated with the interrogative mode of maternal linguistic expression. Perspective taking skill was positively associated with the descriptive mode of maternal linguistic expression. Neither social-cognitive nor emotion-regulative abilities were associated with the imperative mode of maternal linguistic expression. I also found that perceived problem-solving of mother-child communication, the duration of mother-child communication, and the descriptive mode of maternal linguistic expression were positively associated with mothers’ emotion coaching. Finally, the results showed that perceived problem-solving of mother-child communication was positively associated with the duration of mother-child communication. Perceived problem-solving of mother-child communication was also positively associated with the interrogative mode of maternal linguistic expression. Discussions about these results including implications, limitations, and suggestions for future research were presented in the final chapter.
