Okul Öncesi Çocuklar ve Ebeveynlerinin Bağlanma Güvenlikleri İle Çocuk Yetiştirme Tutumları Arasındaki İlişkiler

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı çocukların bağlanma gü- venliği, ebeveynlerin bağlanma güvenliği ve çocuk yetiştirme tutumları arasındaki ilişkilerin incelenmesidir. Çalışmanın amaçları doğrultusunda, 4-6 yaş aralığında 65 çocuk ile çalışılmış ve çocuklara “Oyuncak Öykü Tamamlama Testi” uygulanmıştır. Çocukların ebeveynlerine ise Yakın İlişkilerde Yaşantılar Envanteri ve Ebeveyn Tutum Ölçeği uygulanmıştır. Çalışmanın bulgularına göre, çocukların bağ- lanma güvenliği ve ebeveynlerin bağlanma güvenliği arasında anlamlı ilişkiler bulunamamıştır. Benzer şekilde ebeveynlerin çocuk yetiştirme tutumları ile çocukların toplam bağlanma güvenliği puanları arasında ilişkilere rastlanmamıştır. Bununla birlikte öyküler ayrı ayrı incelendiğinde, demokratik tutum ile çocuklardaki yüksek bağlanma puanları, izin verici ve aşırı koruyucu tutum ile düşük bağlanma puanları arasında ilişkiler bulunmuştur. Ebeveynlerin bağ- lanma kaygı ve kaçınma puanlarına bakıldığında, annenin kaçınma puanı ve demokratik tutum arasında negatif yönde bir ilişki bulunmuştur. Bu sonuç doğ- rultusunda annelerin daha düşük kaçınma puanına sahip oldukça demokratik tutumu benimsedikleri söylenebilir. Babanın kaygısının tutum ile olan iliş- kisi incelendiğinde, kaygı ile aşırı koruyucu tutum arasında olumlu yönde ilişkiler olduğu bulunmuştur. Buna göre yüksek düzeyde kaygıya sahip babalar aşırı koruyucu tutumu benimsemektedirler. Sonuç olarak ebeveynlerin bağlanma güvenliklerinin çocuk yetiştirme tutumları ile ilişkili olduğu görülmüştür. Bu sonuçlar daha önceki çalışmalarla tutarlıdır

The Relations Among Parents’ And Preschool Children’s Attachment Security And Child Rearing Attitudes

Abstract

The aim of this study is to investigate the relations among preschool children attachment security, their parents’ attachment security and child rearing attitudes.In accordance with these aims, 65 children, ages between 4-6, were participated and completed the doll play semi-structural interview named Doll Family Story Completion Test-TR (DFSCT-TR). In addition, Parents Attitude Scale (PAS) and Experiences in Close Relationships (ECR) were given to the parents of the children. Results of the study indicated that there was no relationship between children’s and their parent’s attachment security. In the literature, like the present study, a few number of studies also found no relationship between these two aspects. Similar to the first result, no relationship was found between children’s attachment security and their parent’s child rearing attitude. However, when the stories in DFSCT-TR were examined separately, a significant relationship between democratic attitude and high scores in children’s attachment points was found. In addition, a significant relationship was found between permissive, overprotective attitude and low scores in children’s attachment points. When the relationship between mothers’ avoidance points and democratic attitude was examined, a negative relationship was found. This result shows that when mothers have lower scores on avoidance, they adopt democratic attitude. When the relationship between fathers’ anxiety points and parental attitudes was examined, a positive relationship was found between fathers’ anxiety and overprotective attitude. The fathers who have higher scores in anxiety adopt overprotective attitude. In sum, a significant relationship was found between parents’ attachment security and child rearing attitudes. This finding is coherent with the previous findings.
