Ebeveynlik ve benlik çeşitlerinin hedefli öz düzenleme ve duygu kontrolü üzerindeki rolü

The purpose of this thesis is to examine the relations between self-regulation, self-types and parenting practices in early adolescence. More specifically, we focus on the intentional self- and emotion regulation abilities of early and middle adolescents, and we investigate the role of parental autonomy granting, psychological and behavioural control, and acceptance of parental control in this process. We also consider the effect of two self-types which are the autonomous self-in-family and the related self-in-family. Socio-economic status (SES), gender of the parent and age are the other factors that are included to reveal their possible effects. Data was collected from 259 adolescents from different ages and economic backgrounds. Intentional self-regulation is assessed through a tripartite model called Selection-Optimization-Compensation (S-O-C). Results showed that both age groups represented their intentional self-regulation skills with the same global structure instead of the tripartite structure. Additionally, boys are better at this skill compared to girls. Structural equation model analyses demonstrated that intentional self-regulation was associated positively with autonomous self-type, psychological control and negatively with related self-type. Emotion regulation was associated positively with related self-in-family only. Autonomy granting and behavioural control did not have any effect on any of the variables. Variations were observed in the strength of the proposed relations for different SES groups, gender of the parent, and age.
