Türk Annelerin Çocuk Sosyalleştirme Hedeflerinde Eğitime Bağlı Olarak Gözlemlenen Farklılıklar

Bu çalışma, Türk annelerin uzun süreli çocuk sosyalleştirme hedeflerini (çocuklarının ileride sahip olmalarını istedikleri özelliklere ilişkin hedeflerini) eğitim durumlarına göre karşılaştırmayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu amaçla, yük¬sek düzeyde eğitimli (en az on üç yıl örgün eğitim kurumlarına devam etmiş) yirmi anne ve düşük düzeyde eğitimli (en fazla altı yıl eğitim almış) yirmi anne ile Sosyalleştirme Hedefleri Envanteri kullanılarak görüşmeler yapılmıştır. Annelerin sosyalleştirme hedefleri, Kendini Geliştirme, Davranışlarını Kontrol Etme, Topluma Uyum, Sevecenlik ve Uygun Davranma sınıflandırmalarına göre karşılaştırılmıştır. Yapılan analizler, yüksek eğitimli annelerin düşük eğitimli gruba göre kendini geliştirme ile ilişkili hedefleri daha fazla, uygun davranış göstermeye ilişkin hedefleri ise daha az vurguladıklarını göstermiştir. Bununla birlikte, iki anne grubu arasında davranışları kontrol, topluma uyum, ve sevecenlik sınıflandırmalarına ilişkin hedeflerde istatistiksel açıdan anlamlı bir fark bulunmamıştır. Çalışmanın sonuçlan, Kağıtçıbaşı'nın Aile Değişim Modeli ve Kohn'un ebeveynin mesleki konumu ile çocuk yetiştirme tutumlarını ilişkilendiren kuramı bağlamında tartışılmıştır.

Child Socialization Goals of Turkish Mothers: An Investigation of Education Related Within-Culture Variation

This study aimed to explore the long-term socialization goals of Turkish mothers from different educational backgrounds. The participants were low-educated (n = 20) and high-educated (n = 20) Turkish mothers whose ages ranged from 24 to 39 years. In-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted to measure long-term socialization goals of mothers. Results indicated that, as predicted, low-educated mothers emphasized the importance of relatedness and obedience more than high-educated mothers; and high-educated mothers stressed autonomy and self-enhancement as desirable characteristics more than low-educated mothers did. The two groups of mothers also reported some common goals such as valuing lovingness, decency, and self-control in their children. Overall, the findings pointed to the relative salience of constructs such as autonomy and relatedness in the socialization goals of Turkish mothers with high and low education levels. The findings provided support for Kağıtçıbaşı's Family Change Model, shedding light on the variations in family structure across various socio-cultural-economic contexts. It also upholds Kohn's theory which proposes that occupation influences socialization goals of parents.
