ÇOCUĞUN MİZACININ YORDAYICILARI OLARAK ANNELERİN DUYGU DÜZENLEMESİ VE ANNELİK TARZLARI

Abstract

Mizaç; bireyin kişilik özellikleriyle tanımlanan, çocukluğun erken dönemlerinden itibaren gözlemlenebilen ve davranış örüntülerinden oluşan bir yapıdır. Mizaç genetik ve çevresel faktörlerden etkilenmektedir. Bu araştırma; ebeveyn duygu düzenleme ve tutumlarının çocuk mizacı üzerindeki etkisini açıklamayı amaçlamaktadır. Araştırma evrenini okulöncesi çağındaki çocukların anneleri oluşturmuştur. Veriler; Kişisel Bilgi Formu, Çocuklarda Mizaç Ölçeği, Ebeveyn Tutum Ölçeği (ETÖ) ve Ebeveynler için Duygu Düzenleme Ölçeği (EDDÖ) kullanılarak elde edilmiştir. Veri analizinde çoklu doğrusal regresyon ve hiyerarşik regresyon analizi yapılmıştır. Araştırma bulgularına göre; ebeveyn duygu düzenlemesinin demokratik, otoriter ve aşırı koruyucu tutum üzerinde etkisinin olduğu, ebeveyn tutumlarının çocuk mizacının tepkisellik, olumluluk ve çekingenlikleri üzerinde etkisinin olduğu belirlenmiştir. Ebeveyn duygu düzenlemesi ve tutumlarının çocuk mizacı üzerinde etkili olduğu ve ebeveyn tutumlarının düzenleyici rolü olduğu görülmüştür. Sonuç olarak çocuk mizacı üzerinde ebeveyn duygu düzenlemesi ve tutumlarının etkisinin olduğu söylenebilir.

MATERNAL EMOTION REGULATION AND MATERNAL PARENTING STYLES AS PREDICTORS OF CHILD TEMPERAMENT

Abstract

Temperament is a structure defined by an individual’s personality traits that can be observed from early childhood and consists of behavioral patterns. It is influenced by genetic and environmental factors. This study aims to explain the effect of parental emotion regulation and attitudes on child temperament. The study population consisted of mothers of preschool children. Data were collected using a personal information form, the Temperament in Children Scale, the Parental Attitude Scale (PAS), and the Maternal Behavior Rating Scale (MBRS). Multiple linear regression and hierarchical regression analysis were used for data analysis. According to the results of the study, it was found that parental emotion regulation had an effect on democratic, authoritarian, and overprotective attitudes, and parental attitudes had an effect on reactivity, positivity, and timidity of child temperament. It was found that parental emotion regulation and attitudes were effective on child temperament, and parental attitudes had a regulatory role. As a result, it can be said that parental emotion regulation and attitudes have an effect on child temperament.
