Yetişkinliğe Geçiş Döneminde Anneye Bağlanma Ve Özerk Eylemde Bulunmanın Kişilik Özellikleri Üzerindeki Etkisi

Öz

Literatürde anneye bağlanma, özerk eylemde bulunma ve kişilik özelliklerinin ilişkisini inceleyen bir araştırma bulunmamaktadır. Bu değişkenleri birlikte bir model içinde ele almak, bu üç değişkenin ilişkilerinin yönü ve gücü hakkında bilgi vereceği gibi, ilgili literatüre de katkı sağlayabilir. Bu çalışmanın temel amacı, anneye bağlanma ve özerk eylemde bulunmanın kişilik özellikleri üzerindeki etkilerini incelemektir. Bu betimsel ve nedensel karşılaştırmalı araştırmada, katılımcılar Kırıkkale Üniversitesi’nde öğrenim gören öğrencilerden oluşmaktadır. Araştırma grubunda 19-26 yaş arası 276’sı % 52,4 kadın, 224’ü % 47,6 erkek olmak üzere toplam 508 öğrenci yer almıştır. Katılımcıların yaş ortalaması 22,6 Ss: ±2,8 ’dır. Araştırmada, Anneye Bağlanma Ölçeği, Çok Yönlü Eylemli Kişilik Ölçeği ve On Maddeli Kişilik Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Veriler analiz edilirken frekans ve yüzde analizi ve path modeli analizi kullanılmıştır. Bulgular yetişkinliğe geçiş döneminde, anneye bağlanma ve özerk eylemde bulunmanın kişilik özelliklerini yordadığını ve özerk eylemde bulunmanın anneye bağlanma ile kişilik özellikleri arasında aracılık rolünün olduğunu göstermiştir. Anneye sağlıklı bağlanma yumuşakbaşlılık, duygusal açıdan dengeli olma ve özerk eylemde bulunma puanlarını artırırken; dışadönüklük, azaltmaktadır. Kişinin özerk eylemde bulunması ise, sorumluluğu, duygusal açıdan dengeliliği, deneyime açıklığı ve dışadönüklüğü azaltırken; yumuşak başlılığı artırmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın bulgularının genel olarak ilgili literatürle uyumlu olduğu; ancak bazı bulguların literatürle uyumlu olmadığı ifade edilebilir ve bu farklılıklar Türk kültüründen kaynaklanıyor gibi görünmektedir

The Effects Of Maternal Bonding, And Agency On Personality Traits In The Process Of Transition To Adulthood

Öz

In the literature, there have been no researches examine the relationship agency. Handling together these variables in a model may provide the direction and power of the relationships of these three variables; may contribute to the literature, too. The main purpose of this study was to examine the effects of bond to mother and agency on personality traits. In this descriptive and causal comparative study, participants were composed of students who are studying at the University of Kirikkale. Participants were between the ages of 19-26 and 276 52.4% of them were women, 224 47.6% of them were male, for a total of 508 students. The average age of the participants was 22.6 SD: ± 2.8 . In this research, Maternal Bonding Inventory, Multi-Measure Agentic Personality Scale, and Ten-Item Personality Inventory were used to gather data. In data analysis frequency and percentage analysis and path model analysis were utilized. The findings showed that bond to mother and agency predicted personality traits in the period of transition to adulthood, and agency had a mediating effect between bond to mother and personality traits. Healthy maternal bonding increased the points of emotional stability, agreeableness and agency; however, it decreased the points of openness to experience, conscientiousness, and extraversion. Agency also increased the points of agreeableness, while it decreased the points of emotional stability, openness to experience, conscientiousness, and extraversion. It can be emphasized that the findings of this study, in general, were compatible with the literature; however, some of the findings did not comply with the literature and these differences seem to root in the Turkish culture.
