The purpose of this study is to explore the impact of gender and cognitive emotion regulation on young adults’ aggression expression styles. This research was performed in accordance with the rational screening model. The sample comprised of 426 young adults (ages ranged from 18 to 33= M: 21.14 ve sd:2.02) were randomly selected from students studying at various departments of Marmara University. The “Personal Information Sheet” designed by the researcher, “Aggression Inventory” (AI) and “Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire” (CERQ) were used as data gathering tools. To analyze gathered data the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS–17) was utilized. In data analysis process, firstly Pearson product-moment correlation coefficients were used to generate regression model thereafter sequential multiple regression was conducted to determine the best linear combination of gender and emotion regulation styles for predicting aggression expression styles. The result of data analysis demonstrated that young adults’ physical and verbal aggression expression styles were significantly explained by the combination of gender and cognitive emotion regulation. Further, it was found that cognitive emotion regulation solely predicted young adults’ impulsive aggression and avoidance

Genç Yetişkinlerin Saldırganlık İfade Biçimlerinin Cinsiyet ve Bilişsel Duygu Düzenleme Tarzları Bağlamında İncelenmesi

Öz

Bu çalışmada, genç yetişkinlerin bilişsel duygu düzenleme tarzları ve cinsiyet özelliklerinin saldırganlık ifade tarzları üzerindeki etkisi araştırılmış. Araştırma modeli olarak genel tarama modellerinden ilişkisel tarama modeli kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın çalışma evreni Marmara Üniversitesi’nin farklı fakültelerinde öğrenim görmekte olan ve yaşları 18-33 arasında değişen toplam 426 genç yetişkinden oluşmaktadır. Örneklem seçilirken tesadüfî küme örnekleme yöntemi temel alınmıştır. Veri toplama araçları olarak, “Kişisel Bilgi Formu” “Saldırganlık Envanteri (SE)” ve “Bilişsel Duygu Düzenleme Ölçeği (BDD)”kullanılmıştır. Veri analizi sürecinde SPSS-17 paket programından yararlanılmış olup ilk olarak regresyon modelini oluşturma amacıyla Pearson momentler çarpım korelasyon katsayısından yararlanılmıştır. Ardından cinsiyet ve duygu düzenleme tarzlarının birlikte saldırgan ifade biçimlerini yordayıp yordamadığını belirlemek için de eşzamanlı çoklu regresyon analizi uygulanmıştır. Yapılan analizler neticesinde cinsiyet ve bilişsel duygu düzenleme tarzlarının birlikte fiziksel ve sözel saldırganlık üzerinde yordayıcı etkisinin olduğu, saldırganlıktan kaçınma ve dürtüsel saldırganlık ifade biçimlerinde ise yalnızca bilişsel duygu düzenleme tarzlarının yordayıcı bir etkisinin olduğu tespit edilmiştir
