Abstract
This descriptive correlational study aimed to examine positive parenting behaviors, executive functions, and the relationships among personal factors, social support, and perceived benefits of positive parenting on positive parenting behaviors and executive functions in preschool-age children. A multi-stage sampling technique was used to recruit 155 parents of children who attended a child development center under the local government. Data were collected using questionnaires on general information, social support, benefits of positive parenting, and the Positive Parenting Scale: Parent version. Descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation statistics were used to analyze the data. The results revealed that the parents displayed a positive parenting behavior at a high level. The factors that positively correlated with positive parenting behavior were education level, social support, and perceived benefits of positive parenting (r=.18, p<.05, r=.35, p<.01 and r=.40, p<.01, respectively). Executive function for preschool-age children displayed a moderate level. The factors that positively correlated with positive parenting were social support and perceived benefits of positive parenting (r=.28, p<.01 and r=.34, p<.01, respectively). Therefore, healthcare providers should pay more attention to promote positive parenting behavior and to develop executive function for preschool-age children.
