Çocuğun yaş, cinsiyet, bilişsel yetenek ve anaokuluna gitmesinin annenin ev kadınlığı tutumuna etkisi

Toplumun orta-üst ekonomik statüdeki ailelerinden örneklenen ve yaş ortalaması 69,2 SS3,5 ay olan 34’ü (%38) kız ve 56’sı (%62) erkek, toplam 90 çocuğun; yaş, cinsiyet, bilişsel yetenek ve anaokuluna gidiyor olmasının, annenin ev kadınlığı tutumuna etkileri araştırıldı. Demokrat annenin bir o kadar baskıcı olduğu ve bu iki tutumun anne koruyuculuğu ile pozitif korelasyon gösterdiği anlaşıldı. Örneğin anne; erkeklere, kız çocuğuna olduğundan daha koruyucu (-0,13’a karşın -6,06), demokrat (0,18’a karşın -3,03) ve baskıcı (1,79’a karşın -6,06) idi. Öte yandan, anaokuluna gitmeyen (annenin yakın koruma alanı içinde olan) erkeğin annesi (-7,69’a karşın -0,14) daha az koruyucu idi ve ev kadınlığını daha fazla (-7,69’a karşın -0,16) benimsiyordu. Erkek anneleri eşler arası uyumsuzluktan daha fazla (0,25’a karşın -9,09) yakındı ve çocuğun yaşı (-0,268*) ve başarısı (-0,272*) ile ters orantılı olarak ev kadınlığını reddettiler (0.270*). Öte yandan, eşler arası uyumsuzluk, annenin (kızlarda daha belirgin olmak üzere, 0,556***). koruyucu ve baskıcı tutumunu arttırırken (0,465 ***), demokrat tutumunu azalttı ve ev kadınlığını reddetmesini kolaylaştırdı. Erkek annesi, eşler arası uyumsuzluktan daha çok yakınıyor (0.270*) ve çocuğun yaşı (-0,268*) ve başarısı (-0,272*) ile ters orantılı olarak ev kadınlığını reddediyordu. Sonuçlar, bağlanma teorisi ve davranış bilim kuramları ile açıklanmaya çalışıldı. Anne koruyuculuğunun “annenin kaybetme kaygısı” başlığı altında, diğer anne davranışlarından farklı, genetik materyali korumaya yönelik filojenik bir davranış olarak değerlendirilmesi gerektiği üzerinde duruldu.

The influence on maternal housekeeping attitude of age, gender, cognitive ability and playschool attendance of the child

Background and Design.- The influence on maternal housekeeping of age, gender, cognitive efficiency and playschool attendance of the child was investigated from a survey of mothers and their 90 preschoolers of high-middle-class whose mean age was 69.2 SD3,5 mo. and of whom 56 (62%) were boys and 34 (38%) were girls.The cognitive ability of the children was assessed with Stanford Binet-12- oral questions and “Draw me a child picture” Goodenough criteria. The Protective attitude showed a positive correlation both with a democratic and oppressive approach. Indeed, mothers of boys were more protective (-0.13 versus -6.06), democratic (0.18 versus -3.03), oppressive (1.79 versus -6.06), but at the same time repining more about spouse disharmony (0.25 versus -9.09). Moreover, mothers of home-staying children were more democratic (0.85 versus -2.33, p=0.03**, for boys; 0.11 versus -8.33, for girls) than those of playschool attendees. In fact, mothers of home-staying boys were less protective (-7.69 versus -0.14) but at the same time more repulsive to house-work (-7.69 versus 0.16). Spouse disharmony increased maternal protection for all children (0.465***), especially for girl attendees (0.556***). On the other hand, disharmonious mothers of home-staying boys showed a repulsion to house-work (0.270*) inversely correlated with age (-0.268*) or cognitive development (-0.272*) of the child.Results.- The results were conclusive that an increased maternal protection was operating for those off-spring who is of male gender, weak and away from immediate maternal protective reach. Indeed, maternal protection is believed to deserve to be differentiated with a term as such “maternal anxiety of loss” since it is seemingly operating to detect even subtle signals of threat to the well-being of the offspring.
