Parents’ Metaphorical Perceptions Towards Adolescents and Being the Parent of a Adolescent

Abstract

This study examined the metaphorical perceptions of parents with adolescent children towards adolescents and being the parent of a teenager. The qualitative study participants consisted of 102 parents whose children were at the 8-12 grade level in Ankara. The data were collected in the spring term of the 2019-2020 academic year. The participant parents were asked to fill in the blanks: "I think, today's adolescents are like ... because ……" and "Being the parent of a teenager is like … because ……...". The themes that described adolescents involved egocentrism, sense of self and identity, storm and stress view, autonomy seek, and the effects of technology. The themes associated with being the parent of a teenager included patience, parents as a guide/supervisor, and negative affectivity. The findings were discussed in light of different views in the relevant literature.
