Çocuğun Değeri ve Aile Değişimi: Türkiye’den Otuz Yıllık Bir Portre

Türkiye Çocuğun Değeri Araştırması bir metropolitan merkez ve iki kırsal bölgedeki üç sosyo-ekonomik tabakanın üç kuşağını içermektedir. Bulgular, son otuz yılda çocuklara atfedilen psikolojik değerlerde keskin bir yükseliş ve buna bağlı olarak faydacıl/ekonomik değerlerde düşüşü göstermektedir. Değişen aile dinamikleri ve aile rollerine işaret ederek, erkek çocuk tercihinin yerini kız çocuk tercihi almıştır. (Yetişkin) çocuklardan beklentiler, çocuklarda arzu edilen nitelikler ve mevcut, istenen ve ideal çocuk sayısındaki buna bağlı değişimler, Kağıtçıbaşı’nın Aile Değişim Modeli’ni desteklercesine beklentilerle uyumludur. Otuz yıl boyunca ve kuşaklar ve toplumsal tabakalara göre çocuklara atfedilen değerlerin karşılaştırması, Türk toplumunda ve muhtemelen benzer toplumlarda sosyal değişimi ve gelişimi anlamak için gerekli kavrayışı sağlamaktadır.
