Çocuk Gelişimci Adaylarının Bağlanma Stillerinin Şiddet İçeren ve Şiddet İçermeyen Suç Davranışlarına Etkisinin İncelenmesi

Abstract

Bağlanma stilleri, bireylerin yaşamında ve sosyal ilişkilerinde önemli bir yere sahiptir. Bağlanma, bireyin başka bir bireyden yakınlık bekleme eğilimi ve kendini güvende hissetmesi olarak ifade edilmektedir. Bu çalışmada bağlanma stillerinin şiddet içeren ve şiddet içermeyen suç davranışlarına etkisinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Nicel araştırma yöntemi ilişkisel tarama modeli kullanılarak gerçekleştirilen araştırmanın verileri 2019/2020 eğitim öğretim yılında Avrasya Üniversitesi Sağlık Bilimleri Fakültesi Çocuk Gelişimi bölümünde öğrenim gören 253 öğrenciden toplanmıştır. Araştırmada veri toplama aracı olarak ‘Demografik Bilgi Formu’, ‘Üç Boyutlu Bağlanma Stilleri Ölçeği’ ve ‘Şiddet İçeren ve Şiddet İçermeyen Suç Davranışları Ölçeği’ kullanılmıştır. Araştırma verileri SPSS veri analiz programı ile analiz edilmiştir. Değişkenlerin ve bağlanmanın suç davranışlarına etkisi Lineer regresyon analizi ile test edilmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda cinsiyet, yaş, anne baba öğrenim düzeyi ve anne baba tutumu değişkenlerinin bireylerin bağlanma stillerini etkilediği tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca güvenli bağlanma stiline sahip olan bireylerin şiddet içeren ve şiddet içermeyen suç davranışlarının düşük olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
