Abstract

Bağlanma, doğum öncesi dönemden başlayarak, bebeğin dünyaya geldiği ilk günlerden itibaren bakım veren kişi veya kişilerle duygusal olarak kurulan bir bağ olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Bakım veren kişilerle kurulan bu bağların, çocukların kişiliği üzerine etkileri, bağlanma teorileri ile açıklanmaktadır. Erken çocukluktan itibaren bireylerin tüm yaşamını etkisi altına alan bağlanma teorisinin temelleri; John Bowlby tarafından ortaya atılmış, daha sonraları ise Mary Ainsworth ile birlikte yaptıkları çalışmalar sonucunda geliştirilmiştir. Ainsworth ise bağlanmayı yapmış olduğu deneysel ve gözlemsel çalışmalarıyla derinleştirmiştir. Bu sayede, bağlanma teorisi hem deneysel hem de teorik çalışmalarla desteklenmiştir. Erken çocukluk yıllarına dayandırılan bağlanma teorisi, Bowlby ve Ainsworth tarafından kişilerarası ilişkilerde temel düzenleyiciler olarak ifade edilmektedir. Erken çocuklukta bağlanma, çocukların kişi/kişiler veya nesne/nesnelerle kurduğu ilişkilerden etkilenerek, onların gelişim sürecinin tamamını etkilemekte ve en önemlisi kişiliklerinin oluşmasında, şekillenmesinde önemli rol oynamaktadır. Bu nedenle bu çalışmanın amacı, erken çocuklukta bağlanmanın John Bowlby ve Mary Ainsworth açısından incelenmesidir. Bu amaç doğrultusunda, erken çocuklukta bağlanma teorisiyle ilgili olan Bowlby ve Ainsworth'ün çalışmaları incelenerek, erken çocukluk yıllarında; çocukların anne veya birincil bakıcılarıyla kurdukları ilişkiler tartışılmıştır.
