Ergenlik Dönemindeki Kız Çocuklarında Benlik Saygısı ve Yordayıcılarının Kültürle İlişkisi

Benlik saygısı, kişinin kendine ilişkin değerine yönelik öznel değerlendirmeleridir. Benlik saygısının ergen gelişiminde önemli bir faktör olduğu yaygın olarak kabul edilmektedir ve ergenlikte iyi oluşla önemli bağlantıları olduğu öne sürülmüştür. Benlik saygısında cinsiyet faktörü birçok çalışmada yer bulmuştur. Kadın cinsiyetinde odaklandığımız benlik saygısı yordayıcıları olarak cinsiyet rolleri ve stereotipleri, beden imgesi, ebeveyn stili ve kültürel normlar öne çıkmaktadır. Bu derleme makalesindeki amaç, ergenlik çağındaki kadınların benlik saygısı gelişiminde etkili yordayıcılarla birlikte kültürle ilişkili farklılıklarına yönelik bulguları tartışmaktır. Son 20 yılda ergenlik çağındaki benlik saygısına ilişkin kültürlerarası, boylamsal ve enlemesine araştırma yöntemleriyle yapılmış çalışmalar gözden geçirilmiştir. Sonuç olarak cinsiyet rolleri, ebeveyn stilleri ve beden imgesine yönelik algıların kültürel bağlamda değişiklik göstererek kadın ergenlerde benlik saygısı gelişiminde farklı etkiler oluşturduğu belirlenmiştir.

Self-Esteem in Female Adolescents and Relationships of Its Predictors with Culture

Self-esteem is individuals’ subjective appraisals about their self-worth. It is widely accepted that self-esteem is an important factor in adolescentdevelopment and has been suggested to have important links with adolescent well-being. The gender factor in self-esteem has been included inmany studies. Gender roles and stereotypes, body image, parental style, and cultural norms become prominent as the self-esteem predictors wefocus on in the female gender. The purpose of this review article is to discuss the findings on culture-related differences with effective predictorsof adolescent women’s self-esteem development. As a result, it has been determined that perceptions of gender roles, parental styles, and bodyimage have changed in the cultural context, and have different effects on the development of self-esteem in female adolescents.
