Araştırmanın amacı özel gereksinimli çocuğu olan annelerin mutluluk korkusu ile şükran düzeylerini sosyo-demografik değişkenler açısından incelemek ve mutluluk korkusu ile şükran düzeyleri arasındaki ilişkilerin belirlenmesidir. Bu araştırma kapsamında İstanbul’da ikamet eden, zihinsel yetersizliği veya otizm tanısı olan çocuğa sahip 312 anne çalışma grubunu oluşturmaktadır. İlişkisel tarama modelinin kullanıldığı bu araştırmada çalışma grubunun Mutluluk Korkusu düzeylerini ölçmek amacıyla Demirci vd., (2016) tarafından Türkçe’ye uyarlanan Mutluluk korkusu ölçeği, Şükran düzeylerini ölçmek amacıyla ise Kardaş ve Yalçın (2019) tarafından geliştirilen Şükran ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın bulgularına ilişin analizler SPSS 17 paket programı kullanılarak yapılmıştır. Analiz kısmında gruplar arası karşılaştırmalarda bağımsız örneklem T testi ve ANOVA testi farklılıkların hangi yönde gerçekleştiğini belirlemek amacıyla da Tukey testi kullanılmıştır. Katılımcıların şükran düzeyleri ve mutluluk korkusu düzeyleri arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemek amacıyla Pearson Momentler katsayısı kullanılmıştır. Bunun yanında, katılımcıların şükran düzeyinin mutluluk korkusu düzeyleri üzerindeki etkiyi belirlemek amacıyla da çoklu regresyon analizi kullanılmıştır. Özel gereksinimli çocuğu olan annelerin şükran düzeyleri ve mutluluk korkusu düzeyleri arasındaki ilişkilerin incelendiği bu araştırmada hem sosyo-demografik değişkenlere göre hem de değişkenler arasındaki ilişkilere göre anlamlı sonuçlar elde edilmiştir. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre annelerin mutluluk korkusu ve şükran düzeylerinin yaş, ekonomik durum, öğrenim durumu, çocuk sayısı değişkenleri açısından farklılaştığı, şükran düzeyleri ile mutluluk korkusu düzeyleri arasında da negatif yönlü anlamlı bir ilişki olduğu görülmüştür.
