Üniversite öğrencilerinde ebeveyn kabulü ile psikolojik uyum arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesi

Amaç: Bu çalışmada, anne-baba kabul/reddi ve psikolojik uyum değişkenleri arasındaki ilişkilerin, bir yapısal model bağlamında test edilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmanın bir başka amacı da her iki değişkenin cinsiyet açısından incelenmesidir. Yöntem: Araştırmanın örneklemini Ankara Üniversitesi'nde öğrenim gören 19-36 yaş arasındaki 271'i kadın, 135'i erkek 406 öğrenci oluşturmaktadır. Çalışmada yer alan katılımcılara, Ebeveyn Kabul/Red Ölçeği (EKRÖ) Anne ve Baba Formu, Kişilik Değerlendirme Ölçeği (KİDÖ) ve kişisel bilgi formu uygulanmıştır. Bulgular: Anneden algılanan kabul/redde bakıldığında; erkeklerin sıcaklık, düşmanlık, kayıtsızlık alt boyutları ve toplam anne kabul/reddi açısından annelerini kadınlardan daha reddedici algıladıkları görülmüştür. Babadan algılanan kabul/red alt boyutları açısından bakıldığında; tüm alt boyutlarda (sıcaklık, düşmanlık, kayıtsızlık ve ayrışmamış red) ve toplam puanlarda erkeklerin babalarını kadınlara göre daha reddedici algıladıkları bulunmuştur. Psikolojik uyum alt boyutları açısından bakıldığında; düşmanlık, olumsuz özsaygı, olumsuz öz-yeterlik ve duygusal tepkisizlik alt boyutlarında erkeklerin; bağımlılık alt boyutunda ise kadınların daha yüksek puan aldıkları görülmüştür. Yapılan analizde önerilen hipotetik modelin geçerli olduğu bulunmuştur. Yapısal modelde, anne ve baba kabul/reddi örtük değişkenlerinin psikolojik uyum örtük değişkenini yordadığı görülmüştür. Sonuç: Sonuç olarak bulgular, Ebeveyn Kabul/Red (EKAR) Kuramı ve literatürdeki araştırmalarla tutarlı olarak ebeveyn kabul/reddinin psikolojik uyumu yordadığını göstermiştir. Çalışmanın sonuçları, EKAR Kuramı ve literatürdeki araştırmalar çerçevesinde tartışılmıştır

Investigation of Relationship Between Parental Acceptance and Psychological Adjustment among University Students

Investigation of relationship between parental acceptance and psychological adjustment among university students Objective: In this study, it is aimed to test the relations between parental acceptance/rejection and psychological adjustment variables by using structural equation modeling. Another aim of the study is to investigate the study variables in terms of gender. Method: The sample of the study is formed by 271 females, 135 males out of 406 students aged in 19-36 who are studying at Ankara University. Demographic Information Form, Parental Acceptance-Rejection Questionnaire (PARQ), and Personality Assessment Questionnaire (PAQ) have been conducted to the participants in this study. Results: When the perceived acceptance/rejection from the mother was examined, it was seen that males perceived their mothers more rejective than females in terms of sub-scales of warmth/affection, hostility/aggression, indifference and total maternal acceptance/rejection. When the perceived acceptance/rejection from the father was examined in terms of sub-scales, in all sub-scales (warmth/affection, hostility/aggression, indifference/neglect and undifferentiated rejection) and in total scores males perceived their fathers more rejective than females. In terms of sub-scales of psychological adjustment; in sub-scale of hostility, negative self-esteem, negative self-adequacy and emotional unresponsiveness males scored higher; but in the sub-scale of dependence females scored higher. In the analysis, it was found that the suggested hypothetical model is valid. In the structural model, the latent variables of parental acceptance/rejection predict the psychological adjustment latent variable. Conclusion: In conclusion, the findings have proven that parental acceptance/rejection predicts the psychological adjustment consistent with the theory of Parental Acceptance/Rejection (PARTheory) and the studies in literature. The results of the study have been discussed within the context of PARTheory and the studies in the literature
