Family communication styles and preschool children’s emotional well-being during psychical distancing period

Abstract

The relationship between family communication styles and preschool children’s emotional well-being during COVID-19 were analyzed. An online survey conducted with 243 parents of preschool children from March to June 2021in Turkey. The study shows that only an authoritative attitude can protect children from the negative effects of COVID-19 when the anxiety of these parents is controlled (r=-.113; p<.05). They can benefit from indoor (r=-.140; p<.05) and outdoor activities (r=-.133; p<.05) as their correlation with behavioral problems in children is negative. Digital activities had a detrimental impact on children's well-being over this time, but its prediction is only limited to families where authoritarian attitudes are low.
