Beliren Yetişkinlik Dönemindeki Erkeklerde Benlik Farklılaşması ve Peter Pan Sendromu: Kişilerarası Yetkinliğin Aracı Rolü

Abstract

Peter Pan sendromu erkeklerde görülen kritik bir sorundur. Bu sendromu tetikleyen veya hafifleten değişkenler ile ilişkisini incelemek önemlidir. Ancak Türkiye'de bu konuda yeterli araştırma yapılmadığı görülmektedir. Bu konudaki araştırma boşluğunun doldurulması ve bu konuya dikkat çekilmesinin önemli olduğu düşünülmektedir. Dolayısıyla bu çalışma, klinik olmayan bir örneklemde, benlik farklılaşması ile Peter Pan sendromu arasındaki ilişkide kişilerarası yetkinliğin aracı rolünü incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Benlik farklılaşmasına sahip bireylerin kişilerarası yetkinliğinin daha yüksek olduğu ve sonuç olarak Peter Pan sendromuna yakalanma risklerinin daha düşük olduğu varsayılmaktadır. Katılımcıların tamamı erkektir. Araştırmaya yaşları 18-30 arasında olan, romantik ilişki yaşayan veya evli toplam 425 kişi katılmıştır. Çalışmanın sonucu, kişilerarası yetkinlik ve benlik farklılaşmasının birbiriyle pozitif, Peter Pan sendromunun her ikisiyle de negatif korelasyon gösterdiğini göstermiştir. Benlik farklılaşması ile Peter Pan sendromu arasındaki ilişkide kişilerarası yetkinliğin aracı rolü aracılık analizi ile istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bulunmuştur. Ruh sağlığı alanındaki araştırmacı ve uzmanların, çalışmanın bulgularını bir rehber olarak kullanmaları beklenmektedir.

Differentiation of Self and Peter Pan Syndrome In Men of Emerging Adulthood: The Mediating Role of Interpersonal Competence

Abstract

Peter Pan syndrome is a critical issue seen in men. It is important to examine the relationship with the variables that trigger or alleviate this syndrome. However, it is seen that there is not enough research on this subject in Turkey. It is thought that it is important to fill the research gap on this subject and to draw attention to this issue. Therefore, in a non-clinical sample, this study aims to examine the mediating role of interpersonal competence in the association between differentiation of self and Peter Pan syndrome. It is assumed that individuals with self-differentiation have higher interpersonal competence, as a result, a lower risk of developing Peter Pan syndrome. All of the participants are male. A total of 425 individuals between the ages of 18-30, who were romantically involved or married, participated in the study. The study's result showed that interpersonal competence and differentiation of self are positively correlated with each other, and that Peter Pan syndrome is negatively correlated with both of them. The mediating role of interpersonal competence in the relationship between differentiation of self and Peter Pan syndrome was statistically significant by the mediation analysis. Researchers and experts in the field of mental health are anticipated to use the study's findings as a guide.
