The Role of Respect for Parental Self, Essential Needs and Self-efficacy in Predicting the Social Emotional Adjustment of Five/Six-Year-Old Children
Abstract
This study was conducted to examine the relationships between
five-six years old children’s social emotional adjustment level and their
parents’ self-esteem, basic needs and self-efficacy. In the study relational
screening model was utilized. The participants of the research consisted of 208
five-six years old children attending preschool education and their parents
(208 mothers and 208 fathers). Results showed positive significant correlations
between children’s social competence level and parents’ self-esteem, self-efficacy
and basic needs of survival, power, fun, belonging and freedom; negative significant
correlations between children’s anger-aggression level and parents’ self-esteem, self-efficacy and basic
need of survival and negative significant correlations between children’s anxiety-introversion
level and parents’ self-esteem, self-efficacy and basic needs of survival, power
and belonging. Results also indicated that self-esteem, basic needs and self-efficacy
altogether predicted 16 % of social competency, 17 % of anger- aggression and 24
% of anxiety-introversion subtests of social emotional adjustment. In the study,
implications of the findings were discussed and suggestions were given.
