Bir Teknoloji Bağımlısı Yetiştirmek: Yeni Doğandan Ergenliğe Ebeveynliğe Yardımcı Bir Duygu Düzenleme Aracı Olarak Sanal Ortamlar

Eğlence, eğitim, sağlık gibi alanlardan sonra ebeveynlik alanında da teknoloji kolaylaştırıcı bir rol oynamaya başlamıştır. Ancak ebeveynlerin sanal ortamlardan aldıkları bu yardım, teknoloji kötüye kullanımı tehlikesini de beraberinde getirmektedir. Önce çocukları oyalama ve etkinlik yapma konusunda görevlerin devredildiği sanal ortamlar, günümüzde ebeveynliğin ilk anından itibaren sorumlulukları paylaşmaya yarayan asistanlar halini almaktadırlar. Bu derlemede ebeveynlerin masum yardımcılar olarak kullandıkları sanal ortamların, ileride çocukları teknoloji kötüye kullanımına nasıl yaklaştırdığı duygu düzenleme kavramı üzerinden tartışılmaktadır. Duygu düzenleme kavramı, bireyin maruz kaldığı uyarıcılar karşısında duygularını uygun düzey ve biçimde vermesi olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Yapılan çalışmalar bu becerinin gelişmesinde bağlanma süreçlerinin dolayısıyla ebeveyn-çocuk ilişkisinin önemli olduğunu göstermiştir. Teknoloji bu sürece çocuğun olumsuz duygularını engellemek için dahil olmaktadır. Beslenme sürecinde, doktor muayenesinde ya da restaurantta ortaya çıkan kontrol edilmesi gerekli olan olumsuz duyguların kontrolü ebeveyn tarafından değil sanal ortamlar tarafından sağlanmaktadır. Bu sebeple teknoloji kötüye kullanımı konusunda yapılacak önleyici çalışmalarda ebeveynler ve çocuklar için erken dönemlerde duygu düzenleme becerileri ve sağlıklı bağlanma süreçleri ile ilgili çalışmaların yapılması tavsiye edilmektedir.

Raising a Technology Addict: Virtual Environment as an Emotion Regulation Tool from Infancy till Adolescence

Technology has started to play a facilitating role in the field of parenting after the fields of entertainment, education, health. However, the support of the virtual environments to the parents may cause technology addiction. The virtual environments which make activities and entertain children previously, has become to share responsibilities with parents. The aim of this review is to discuss the role of the over use of technology, which is accepted as helpful assistants by the parents, in childhood through the term of emotional regulation. The concept of emotional regulation is defined as the individual’s appropriate emotional response to the stimulus. The related studies show that the processes of attachment and accordingly the parent-child relationship have importance in the development of the skill of emotional regulation. The negative emotions that should be regulated by the parents during the child nutrition or medical examination, have been regulated by the virtual environments such as smartphone or tablet instead of parents
