Türkiye Çocuğun Değeri
Araştırması bir metropolitan merkez ve iki kırsal bölgedeki üç sosyo-ekonomik
tabakanın üç kuşağını içermektedir. Bulgular, son otuz yılda çocuklara atfedilen
psikolojik değerlerde keskin bir yükseliş ve buna bağlı olarak faydacıl/ekonomik
değerlerde düşüşü göstermektedir. Değişen aile dinamikleri ve aile rollerine
işaret ederek, erkek çocuk tercihinin yerini kız çocuk tercihi almıştır. (Yetişkin)
çocuklardan beklentiler, çocuklarda arzu edilen nitelikler ve mevcut, istenen
ve ideal çocuk sayısındaki buna bağlı değişimler, Kağıtçıbaşı’nın Aile Değişim
Modeli’ni desteklercesine beklentilerle uyumludur. Otuz yıl boyunca ve kuşaklar
ve toplumsal tabakalara göre çocuklara atfedilen değerlerin karşılaştırması,
Türk toplumunda ve muhtemelen benzer toplumlarda sosyal değişimi ve gelişimi
anlamak için gerekli kavrayışı sağlamaktadır.
