Abstract

Annelerin, eşlerinin çocuk katılımına yönelik kolaylaştırıcı ve zorlaştırıcı davranışları anne bekçiliği olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı anne bekçiliği davranışlarını babaların gözünden değerlendiren bir ölçeğin Türkçeye uyarlanmasıdır. Bu kapsamda eşlerin birbirinden algıladığı teşvik edici, kontrolcü ya da engelleyici bekçilik davranışlarını değerlendirmek için Puhlman ve Pasley (2017) tarafından geliştirilen Anne Bekçiliği Ölçeği’nin Baba Formu’nun (ABÖ-B) geçerlik güvenirlik çalışmaları yürütülmüştür. Çalışmaya 3 ile 7 yaş arasında en az bir çocuğu olan toplamda 255 evli baba katılmıştır. Sonuçlar ABÖ-B’nin orijinal 3 boyutlu yapısını koruduğunu ve geçerlik güvenirlik açısından uygun indekslere sahip olduğunu göstermiştir. Babaların eşlerinden algıladığı teşvik düzeylerinin baba katılımı ile pozitif yönlü, algılanan engel ve kontrol bekçilik düzeylerinin ise baba katılımı ile negatif yönlü ilişkili olduğu bulunmuştur. Bununla birlikte algılanan bekçilik türleri bazı demografik özellikler ile (çocuk sayısı, cinsiyeti gibi) ilişkilidir ve babalar en çok geleneksel sınır koyucu bekçilik alt türünü algıladıklarını bildirmiştir. Babaların olumlu ve olumsuz bekçilik davranışlarını algılayışlarını ortaya çıkaran mevcut çalışmanın bulguları, baba katılımının ve aile sisteminde uyumun teşvik edilmesi için önemli bulunmaktadır.

Maternal Gatekeeping from Fathers' Perspectives: A Scale Adaptation Study

Abstract

Facilitating and hindering behaviors of mothers regarding their spouse's participation in their children are defined as maternal gatekeeping. The aim of this study is to adapt a scale that evaluates maternal gatekeeping behaviors from perceptions of fathers. In this context, the validity and reliability of the Father Form of the Maternal Gatekeeping Scale (MGS) developed by Puhlman and Pasley (2017) to evaluate the encouragement, discouragement and control behaviors to parent perceive from each other was examined. A total of 255 married fathers with at least one child between the ages of 3 and 7 participated in the study. The results showed that MGS-F preserves its original three dimensions structure and has appropriate indexes in terms of validity and reliability. It was found that the encouragement levels perceived by fathers from their spouses were positively related with the father involvement, and the perceived control and discouragement levels were negatively related to the father involvement. However, perceived types of maternal gatekeeping behaviors are associated with some demographic characteristics (such as the number of children, gender), and fathers reported that they perceived traditional sub-categories of maternal gatekeeping the most common. Findings of the current study, which reveals the perceptions of fathers' positive and negative maternal gatekeeping behaviors are important for encouraging father involvement and adaptation in the family system.
