ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study was to develop an emotional acceptance scale for mothers' attitudes as those
attitudes are perceived adolescents. This was done in order to construct a mothers' attitude on emotional
acceptance scale, and to verify the suitability of questionnaires, their validity, and credibility according to
the scale thus developed. The subjects of this study consisted of 352 adolescents. Data were analyzed by
means of exploratory factor analysis, Chi-Square test and reliability analysis. The results from the factor
analysis revealed three principal factors(problem-solving supportive reaction, punctive neglect reaction,
over-acceptance reaction). In terms of statistical results, the item discriminant coefficients, Cramer's V
ranged from .35 to .67, and in terms of the reliability result, Cronbach's α ranged from .85 to .93.
Therefore, this study can be said to be meaningful in terms of the preliminary aim; that is acting as a
preliminary research exercise for developing an emotional acceptance scale of mothers' attitudes.
