Abstract

Bu araştırmanın amacı evli bireylerin ebeveynleştirilme, depresyon ve evlilik doyumu düzeyleri arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemek; kişisel ve ailesel özelliklerinin de ebeveynleştirilme düzeylerine temel etkisini ortaya koymaktır. Çalışmanın araştırma grubu olan 597 evli bireye (244 erkek, 353 kadın) “Ebeveynleştirilmiş Çocuk Ölçeği- Yetişkin Formu”, “Beck Depresyon Ölçeği”, “Evlilik Doyum Ölçeği”, demografik özellikleri elde etmek için hazırlanmış olan “Kişisel Bilgi Formu” verilmiştir. Araştırma sonucuna göre, evli bireylerin ebeveynleştirilme ve depresyon düzeyleri evlilik doyumlarını istatistiksel olarak yordamaktadır. Ayrıca, ebeveynleştirilme düzeyleri, bireylerin depresyon düzeylerini de istatisiksel olarak anlamlı bir şekilde yordamaktadır. Evli bireylerin ailesel ve kişisel niteliklerine göre de bazı değişkenler (ailede kalıcı rahatsızlık olma durumu, ebeveynler ile zaman geçirme, aile madde bağımlılığı durumu, babanın çalışma durumu, ebeveynlerden birinin il dışında çalışma durumu; kardeş sayısı ve çocukken çalışma durumu) açısından ebeveynleştirilme düzeylerinde anlamlı bir temel etki görülürken, diğer değişkenler açısından ise anlamlı bir fark tespit edilmemiştir.

The Examination of Relationships among Personal-Familial Qualifications, Levels of Parentification, Depression and Marital Satisfaction of Married Individuals

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the relationship among levels of parentification, depression and marital satisfaction of married individuals; to examine how married individuals' personal-familial characteristics affect the level of parentification. 597 married people (244 men, 353 women) filled in “Parentified Child Scale-Adult Version”, “Beck Depression Scale”, “Marital Satisfaction Scale”, and “Personal Information Form”. Parentification and depression levels of married individuals statistically predict marital satisfaction. Parentification levels statistically significantly predict individuals' depression levels. While the main effect is observed in the parentification levels according to the familial and personal variables (permanent illness in the family, spending time with the parents, substance abuse in the family, the father’s employment status, one of the parents working outside the province; the number of siblings and condition of working in childhood), the other variables indicate that there is no significant difference on their parentification level.
