Psikodrama Grup Müdahalesi Sonrasında Bağlanma Stilleri ve Kişilerarası Duygu Düzenlemedeki Değişimler: Bir Pilot Çalışma

Öz

Amaç: Bu çalışmada, katılımcıların kişilerarası davranışlarını, güçlü yönlerini, sınırlılıklarını ve tutarsızlıklarını diğer bireylerden alınan geri bildirimler ve gözlemler yoluyla keşfetmelerini sağlayan bir yöntem olan psikodrama grup müdahalesine katılımları sonrasında ortaya çıkan öncül değişimlerin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Yöntem: Psikodrama grubunu dokuz üniversite öğrencisi oluşturmuştur. Katılımcılar, on dokuz oturumdan oluşan müdahale öncesinde ve sonrasında Kişisel Bilgi Formu, Yakın İlişkilerde Yaşantılar Envanteri-Gözden Geçirilmiş Formu (YİYE-II), Kişilerarası Duygu Düzenleme Ölçeği ve Kısa Semptom Envanterini doldurmuşlardır. Bağlanma ile ilişkili davranışlar ve kişilerarası duygu düzenleme stratejilerindeki değişimleri incelemek amacıyla ön-test ve son-test puanları karşılaştırılmıştır. Bulgular: Bağlanma ile ilişkili davranışlar ve kişilerarası duygu düzenleme stratejilerine ilişkin ön-test ve son-test puanları arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir farklılık bulunmamıştır. Bulgular istatistiksel anlamlılığa ulaşmamış olsa da bağlanmanın kaygı ve kaçınma boyutları ile bakış açısı edinme ve yatıştırılma stratejileri için orta ve büyük düzeyde etki büyüklükleri elde edilmiştir. Bu bulgular, psikodrama grubuna katılımın bağlanma ile ilişkili süreçler ve kişilerarası duygu düzenleme üzerindeki değişimlerle ilişkili olabileceğine işaret etmektedir. Sonuç: Bu öncül bulguların dikkatli bir biçimde yorumlanması ve kontrol grubu içeren takip çalışmalarıyla sınanması gerekmektedir.

Changes in Attachment Styles and Interpersonal Emotion Regulation Following a Psychodrama Group Intervention: A Pilot Study

Öz

Objective: The present study aimed to investigate preliminary changes following participation in a psychodrama group intervention, a method that enables participants to explore key aspects of their interpersonal behaviors, strengths, limitations, and inconsistencies through observation and feedback from other people. Methods: The psychodrama group involved nine university students. Before and after the nineteen-session intervention, participants completed Personal Information Form, Experiences in Close Relationships – Revised (ECR – R), Interpersonal Emotion Regulation Questionnaire and Brief Symptom Inventory. Pre-test and post-test scores were compared to examine changes in attachment-related behaviors and interpersonal emotion regulation strategies. Results: No statistically significant differences were found between the pre-test and post-test scores on attachment-related behaviors and interpersonal emotion regulation strategies. Considering the results, although the findings did not reach statistical significance, moderate to large effect sizes were observed for attachment avoidance, attachment anxiety, perspective taking, and soothing, suggesting that participation in a psychodrama group may be associated with changes in attachment-related processes and interpersonal emotion regulation. Conclusion: These preliminary findings should be interpreted cautiously and replicated in follow-up studies with a control group.
