Abstract

This study was conducted to determine the effects of perceived parental attitudes of adolescents on depression, anxiety, and stress levels of adolescents. Adolescents aged between 15-18-year-old studying in high school participated in the research (N=517). The data were obtained via the "Parental Attitude Scale” (PAS) and " Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale” (DASS-42)-High School Form. At the end of the research, it was determined that especially female adolescents were very anxious in “overly permissive-negligent” and “authoritarian” families. It has been determined that the education level of the parents is very effective in the depression and anxiety of adolescents. The Depression level of adolescents in democratic families decreases meanwhile it increases in authoritarian families. Stress, anxiety, and depression symptoms are not observed in those who are interested in sports and art. The information obtained is important in terms of providing information to professionals dealing with adolescent children and families.

ANNE-BABA TUTUMLARININ ERGENLERDEKİ DEPRESYON, ANKSİYETE VE STRES DÜZEYLERİNE ETKİSİ

Abstract

Bu çalışma; ergenlerin algıladığı anne-baba tutumlarının, ergenlerin depresyon, anksiyete ve stres düzeyine etkisini belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Araştırmaya, lisede öğrenim gören 15-18 yaşındaki ergenler katılmıştır (N=517). Veriler “Anne-Baba Tutum Ölçeği (ABTÖ)” ve “Depresyon, Anksiyete ve Stres Ölçeği-Lise Formu (DASS-42)” ile elde edilmiştir. Araştırma sonunda özellikle kız ergenlerin “aşırı izin verici-ihmalkâr” ve “otoriter” ailelerde çok yüksek derecede kaygılı olduğu saptanmıştır. Ebeveyn eğitim durumunun, ergenlerin depresyon ve anksiyete yaşamasında çok etkili olduğu belirlenmştir. Demokratik ailelerdeki ergenlerin depresyon düzeyi azalmaktadır ve otoriter ailelerdeki ergenlerin depresyon düzeyi artmaktadır. Spor ve sanatla ilgilenenlerde stres, anksiyete ve depresyon belirtileri görülmemektedir. Elde edilen bilgiler, ergenlik dönemindeki çocuklarla ve ailelerle ilgilenen profesyonellere bilgiler sağlaması açısından önemlidir.
