Ebeveyn kimliği, bireyin nasıl bir ebeveynlik anlayışına sahip olduğunu ifade etmektedir ve alanyazında yeni bir kavramdır. Bu çalışmada, Utrecht Kimlik Bağlılıklarının Yönetimi- Ebeveyn Kimliği Ölçeği Türkçe’ye uyarlanmış ve ebeveyn kimliği ile ilişkili faktörler incelenmiştir. Çalışmaya Türkiye’de yaşayan, 21 – 55 yaş aralığında (Ort.= 40.9, SS = 9.5) 224 ebeveyn katılmıştır. Yapılan faktör analizi sonucunda ölçeğin orijinalinde olduğu gibi bağlılık, derinlemesine keşif, bağlılığın yeniden değerlendirilmesi olmak üzere üç faktörlü bir yapıda olduğu görülmüştür. Ayrıca yürütülen korelasyon analizi sonuçları, ebeveyn kimliğinin temel psikolojik ihtiyaçların tatmin edilmesi ile pozitif yönde; temel psikolojik ihtiyaçların engellenmesi, ebeveyn tükenmişliği ve sürekli kaygı düzeyi ile negatif yönde ilişkili olduğunu göstermektedir. Elde edilen bulgular alanyazın ışığında değerlendirilmiş ve bu alanda yapılacak gelecekteki çalışmalara katkı sağlayabilecek öneriler sunulmuştur.

Adaptation and Psychometric Evaluation of the Utrecht Management of Identity Commitments – Parental Identity Scale

Parental identity refers to the degree to which an individual adopts a particular understanding or conceptualization of parenthood, and it is considered a relatively new construct in the literature. In this study, the Utrecht Management of Identity Commitments - Parental Identity Scale was adapted into Turkish, and factors associated with parental identity were examined. The study sample consisted of 224 parents residing in Türkiye, aged between 21 and 55 (M = 40.9, SD = 9.5). Factor analysis revealed that the Turkish version of the scale retained its original three-factor structure: commitment, in-depth exploration, and reconsideration of commitment. Moreover, results of the correlation analyses showed that parental identity was positively associated with the satisfaction of basic psychological needs, and negatively associated with the frustration of these needs, parental burnout, and trait anxiety. The findings were discussed in light of the existing literature, and suggestions were
