Abstract
Bu araştırmada 3-6 yaş aralığındaki okul öncesi dönem çocuklarının duygu düzenleme becerilerinin açıklanmasında çocukların mizaç özellikleri ile ebeveynlerinin duygusal zekâları ve psikolojik iyi oluş düzeylerinin yordayıcı rolü incelenmiştir. Araştırmanın örneklemi Türkiye genelinde 3-6 yaş aralığında çocuğa sahip olan 345 (Anne=311 %91,1, Baba=34 %9,9) ebeveynden oluşmaktadır. Çalışmanın verileri Demografik Bilgi Formu, Duygu Düzenleme, Psikolojik İyi Oluş, Çocuklar İçin Kısa Mizaç ve Asıl Form Schutte Duygusal Zekâ Ölçekleri’nin ebeveynlere online olarak uygulanmasıyla elde edilmiştir. Yapılan hiyerarşik regresyon analizi sonucunda çocuğun sıcakkanlılık- utangaçlık, sebatkarlık, tepkisellik mizaçlarının; ebeveyn yaşı, duygusal zekâsı ve psikolojik iyi oluşunun çocukların duygu düzenleme becerilerinin anlamlı yordayıcıları olduğu belirlenmiştir. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre okul öncesi dönem çocuklarının duygu düzenleme becerileri, sıcakkanlılık-utangaçlık mizaç özelikleri ile ebeveynlerinin yaşı, duygusal zekâsı ve psikolojik iyi oluşları arttıkça artmaktadır. Araştırmada çocukların tepkisellik mizaç özelliklerinin duygu düzenleme becerileri üzerinde olumsuz etkiye sahip olduğu ve tepkisellik mizaç özellikleri arttıkça duygu düzenleme problemlerinin de arttığı belirtilmektedir. Ayrıca araştırmada ebeveyn yaşı ve psikolojik iyi oluşu ile çocukların sebatkarlık mizaç özelliklerindeki artışın, duygu düzenleme problemlerinde azalmaya neden olduğu da ortaya konulmuştur.
This study investigates the predictive role of children's temperament characteristics and their parents' emotional intelligence and psychological well-being levels in explaining the emotion regulation skills of 3–6-year-old preschool children. The sample of the study recruited from 345 parents (mother: 311, father: 34) who have children aged 3-6 years old across Turkey. The data of the study were obtained by the Demographic Information Form, Emotion Regulation, Psychological Well-Being, Short Temperament for Children and Schutte Emotional Intelligence Scales. The results of the hierarchical regression analysis revealed that temperament characteristics such as approach, persistence, reactivity as well as parental age, emotional intelligence and psychological well-being were significant predictors of children's emotion regulation skills. According to the results of the research, emotion regulation skills of preschool children increase as their approach temperament traits and their parents' age, emotional intelligence, and psychological well-being increase. Additionally, it was also found that as children's reactivity temperament characteristics increase, their emotion regulation problems also increase. In addition, findings also indicate that the increase in parental age and psychological well-being and the persistence temperament characteristics of children cause a decrease in emotion regulation problems.
