Abstract

Ego sağlamlığı risk
faktörlerine rağmen olumlu gelişim eğilimini ifade etmektedir. Ego sağlamlığına
sahip çocukların bireysel, ailesel ve çevresel risk faktörleri ile baş etmeleri
beklenmektedir, bu nedenle de ego sağlamlığı geliştirmek çocuklar için bir
gelişim görevi olarak kabul edilebilir. Bu araştırmanın amacı, bireysel boyutta
seçilmiş iki değişkenin, öz kontrol becerileri ve mizaç özellikleri, ego
sağlamlık düzeyleri üzerindeki yordayıcı rolünü araştırmaktır. Araştırma tarama
modelinde tasarlanmıştır. Araştırmanın örneklemini, yaşları 55-73 aylar
arasında olan okul öncesi eğitim kurumlarına devam eden 78 çocuk
oluşturmaktadır. Kişisel Bilgi Formu, Çocuklar için Kısa Mizaç Ölçeği ve Çocuk
Ego Sağlamlığı Ölçeği (Anne Formu) araştırmada kullanılan veri toplama
araçlarıdır. Ayrıca çocukların öz kontrol becerilerini değerlendirmek için
Yeşil-Kırmızı İşaretler ve Ayak Parmağına Dokun görevleri kullanılmıştır.
Regresyon analizi ile tüm değişkenlerin birlikte etkisine bakıldığında, öz
kontrol becerilerinin çocukların ego sağlamlık düzeylerinin anlamlı bir
yordayıcısı olduğu, fakat mizaç özelliklerinin yordayıcı etkisinin olmadığı
bulunmuştur.

The Predictive Role of Temperamental Traits and Inhibitory-Control Skills on Ego Resiliency of Preschool Children

Abstract

Ego resiliency means
positive development tendency despite risk factors. Resilient children are
expected to cope with individual, familial and environmental risk factors, so
developing resiliency could be accepted as a developmental task for children.
The aim of the study is to investigate the predictive role of two selected
individual variables; inhibitory control skills and temperament characteristics
of preschool children, on their ego resiliency levels. The study is in survey
method. The sample of the study includes 55-73 months old 78 children, who
attend preschools. The data collection tools that are used in this study are;
The Personal Information Form, The Short Temperament Scale for Children and Children’s Ego Resiliency Scale (Mother Form). Also two tasks, named
as Green-Red Signs and Touch Your Toe were used to assess preschoolers’ inhibitory control skills.  When all the variables are considered
together in the regression analysis, it has been found that the inhibitory
control skills are significantly predictive of children's ego resiliency, but
temperamental characteristics are not.
