4–6 Yaş Aralığındaki Çocukların Bağlanma Stillerinin ve Duygu Düzenleme Becerilerinin İncelenmesi

Year 2020, Volume: 1 Issue: 2, 57 - 73, 15.12.2020

Abstract

Bu araştırmanın amacı, 4-6 yaş aralığındaki çocukların bağlanma stilleri ile duygu düzenleme becerilerini karşılaştırmaktır. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu, 4-6 yaş aralığındaki çocuklardan okul öncesine devam edenler oluşturmaktadır. İstanbul’da bulunan özel ve devlet okullarından 60 okul öncesi çağındaki çocuk çalışmaya alınmıştır. Araştırmanın tüm verileri Sosyodemografik Özellikler ve Bilgi Formu, Okul Öncesi Öz Düzenleme Ölçeği ve Güvenli Yer Senaryoları Testi ile toplanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde Güvenli Bağlanma Düzeyi ve Duygu Düzenleme Becerisi arasındaki ilişkiyi ölçmek için Pearson analizi, duygu düzenleme becerileri ve bağlanma stilleri arasındaki farklılıkları test etmek için Bağımsız Örneklem T testi analizi uygulanmıştır. Araştırma sonucuna göre Güvenli Bağlanma Düzeyi ile Duygu Düzenleme Becerisi arasında pozitif yönde anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmuştur (p<.01). Buna ek olarak güvenli ve güvensiz bağlanma sınıflamasında elde edilen bulgulara göre güvenli bağlanan çocukların (N=30), güvensiz bağlanan çocuklara (N=30) göre duygu düzenleme becerilerinin daha gelişmiş olduğu bulunmuştur (t (45.61) =6.33, p<.001). Yine güvenli bağlanan çocukların dikkat/dürtü kontrolü güvensiz bağlanan çocuklara göre daha yüksek bulunmuştur (t (58) =6.33, p<.001). Bu çalışmadan elde edilen sonuçlar, çocuk ile bakım veren arasındaki bağlanma stilinin, çocukların duygu düzenleme becerileri üzerine önemli bir faktör olduğunu vurgulamaktadır.

An Examination on Emotion Regulation and Attachment Patterns of Children Aged Between 4-6 Years Old

Year 2020, Volume: 1 Issue: 2, 57 - 73, 15.12.2020

Abstract

The aim of this study is to examine the emotion regulation and attachment patterns of children aged between four to six years old. The sample of the present study consisted of randomly chosen 38 girls and 22 boys, 60 children in total, between the ages of 4-6 years from private and public schools, in Istanbul. All data were collected by applying Sociodemographic Characteristics and Information Forms, Preschool Self Regulation Assessment-PSRA in Turkish context and Safe Place Scenarios Test. Data were analyzed using the Pearson Correlation and Independent T-Test. Results indicated that there was a significant positive correlation between Secure Attachment Level and Emotion Regulation Skill (p<.01). In addition, according to the findings obtained from the classification of secure and insecure attachment, it was found that children (N=30) with secure attachment patterns had more advanced emotion regulation skills than the children (N=30) who had insecure attachment patterns (t (45.61) =6.33, p<.001). Again, the attention/impulse control of children with a secure attachment patterns were found to be higher than the children with insecure attachment patterns (t (58) = 6.33, p<.001). The results support the knowledge that the attachment style between the child and the caregiver in the literature is an important factor in emotion regulation. Keywords: emotion regulation, preschool, attachment styles, safe location scenarios, self regulation.
