Yetişkinlerde algılanan ebeveyn tutumları (AET) ile bilişsel duygu düzenleme becerileri (BDDB) ve kişilik bozukluklarına yatkınlık (KBY) arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemek bu araştırmanın amacını oluşturmuştur. Kolay ulaşılabilir örnekleme yöntemi kullanılmış olup, bu araştırmanın örneklemi 263’ü kadın 237’si erkek olmak üzere 500 kişi oluşturmuştur. Verileri online olarak toplamak adına Google Forms kullanılmıştır. Sosyodemografik Bilgi Formu, Bilişsel Duygu Düzenleme Ölçeği, SCID-II Ölçeği, Kısaltılmış Algılanan Ebeveyn Tutumu Ölçeği Çocuk Formu araştırmanın ölçüm araçlarını içermiştir. İstatistiksel analizlerde SPSS 25 ve PROCESS 3.5 macro kullanılmıştır. Bulgular AET ile BDDB ve KBY arasında istatiksel olarak anlamlı ilişki olduğunu göstermiştir. Ayrıca, algılanan olumsuz ebeveyn tutumları ile KBY arasındaki ilişkide uyumsuz BDDB’nin aracı rolü bulunmuştur. Bulgular ilgili literatür temelinde tartışılmış ve birtakım öneriler sunulmuştur.
