Öğe CHILDREN'S EMOTION REGULATION AND ATTACHMENT TO PARENTS: PARENTAL EMOTION SOCIALIZATION AS A MODERATOR(Soc Personality Res Inc, 2018) Ahmetoglu, Emine; Ildiz, Gokcen Ilhan; Acar, Ibrahim H.; Encinger, AmyWe examined the associations among parental emotion socialization, and children's emotion regulation and attachment to parents. In particular, we examined the moderating role of parental emotion socialization in the relationship between children's emotion regulation and attachment to parents. Participants were 78 Turkish children (49 boys) aged from 60 to 77 months and their parents. Parents reported on the socialization strategies they used for their children's emotions and on their children's emotion regulation, and we assessed children's attachment to parents via the Doll Story Completion Task. Results revealed that parents' minimization reaction to children's emotions moderated the association between children's emotion regulation and attachment to parents. When parents' response was punitive, children with poor emotion regulation displayed stronger attachment to parents than children with robust emotion regulation did. In addition, girls had a more secure attachment to parents than boys did. Our results highlight the importance of children's emotion regulation and parental emotion socialization for children's secure early attachment to parents.Öğe The contributions of children's social competence, aggression, and anxiety to their play behaviours with peers(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2021) Asik-Ozturk, Manolya; Ahmetoglu, Emine; Acar, Ibrahim H.The purpose of this study was to investigate the contributions of children's social competence, aggression, and anxiety to their play behaviours with peers. A total of 149 preschoolers aged 36-73 months (M = 54.6 months, SD = 0.99; 50.3% girls) and their 46 teachers in Turkey recruited for the current study. Teachers reported on children's social competence, aggression, and anxiety. Children's peer relations during play were observed. Results from the regression models showed that children's social competence positively and anxiety negatively were associated with children's peer interactions during play. Children's gender was negatively associated with their play behaviours, indicating girls had higher levels of positive interactions with peers than boys did. Limitations and future directions of the current study are discussed.Öğe The Correlates of Turkish Preschool Preservice Teachers' Social Competence, Empathy and Communication Skills(Acad Publisher House Researcher, 2016) Ahmetoglu, Emine; Acar, Ibrahim H.The purpose of the current study was to examine the associations between Turkish preschool pre-service teacher's personal and educational characteristics, and their social competence, empathy, and communication skills. A total of 385 state university Turkish pre-service teachers (age range 18 to 32 years) from the early childhood education field completed a Demographic Information Form on personal and educational characteristics, the Social Skills Inventory (SSI) Scale measuring their social competence, The Scales of Empathic Tendency for measuring empathy skills, and a Communication Skills Evaluation Scale measuring communication skills. Bivariate Pearson-correlations, independent t tests, and one-way ANOVAs were used to test study hypotheses. Results indicated that women scored higher on empathy and communication skills, and having more friends was related to higher social competence and empathy. Pre-service teachers who were members of a social club scored higher on communication skills than their peers. Additional associations among variables, limitations, and future directions are discussed.Öğe Direct and indirect contributions of child difficult temperament and power assertive parental discipline to Turkish children's behaviour problems(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2021) Acar, Ibrahim H.; Ahmetoglu, Emine; Ozer, Irem Buselay; Yagli, Sevval NurThe purpose of the current study was to examine power assertive parental discipline and child difficult temperament as predictors of children's behaviour problems (internalizing, externalizing, and total behaviour problems) as well as mediating role of difficult temperament between power assertive parental discipline and children's behaviour problems. Participants were 118 children (53 boys) and their parents for the current study. Children's age ranged from 16 months to 36 months (M = 27.91, SD = 5.67). Mothers reported on their power assertive parental discipline, child temperament, and behaviour problems of children. Results from regression analysis showed that: (1) there was a positive association between parents' power assertive discipline and child behaviour problems. (2) Child difficult temperament was positively associated with children's internalizing, externalizing and total behaviour problems. (3) Children's difficult temperament mediated the association between power assertive discipline and child behaviour problems. Limitations and future directions of the current study are discussed.Öğe Parental involvement and children's peer interactions(Springer, 2022) Ahmetoglu, Emine; Acar, Ibrahim H.; Ozturk, Manolya AsikChildren require parental support to successfully develop social and academic skills during early years. We examined the link between parental involvement and preschool children's peer interactions. We recruited 442 children (52.8% girls), their parents and teachers for the current study. The children's age ranged between 40 and 86 months (M = 60.28,SD = 9.72). Parents and teachers reported on children's positive and negative peer interactions using the Penn Interactive Peer Play Scale. Parents reported on their involvement using the Family Involvement Questionnaire. Results from the structural equation models revealed that parental involvement was positively related to positive peer interactions but not with negative peer interactions. Future work and limitations are discussed.Öğe Understanding the reactions of mothers and fathers to Turkish toddlers' temperamental characteristics(Springer, 2020) Acar, Ibrahim H.; Ahmetoglu, EmineThe current study examined the associations between parents' response to temperament (mothers and fathers' encouraging or discouraging negative affectivity and surgency, and rewarding effortful control or punishing low effortful control) and toddlers' temperament display (negative affectivity, surgency, and effortful control). A total of 118 Turkish toddlers (65 girls) and their parents were recruited for the current study. Mothers' age ranged 19 to 46 (M = 31.33, SD = 5.10) and fathers' age ranged from 26 to 49 (M = 34.34, SD = 4.71) years. Toddlers' age ranged from 16 months to 36 months (M = 27.91, SD = 5.67). Both parents reported on their responses to toddlers' temperament and mothers reported on toddlers' temperamental characteristics. Canonical correlations were used to test multivariate associations between parents' response to temperament and toddlers' temperament display. Results showed that 1- mothers' encouraging negative affectivity and rewarding effortful control were positively related to toddlers' display of effortful control and surgency. 2- mothers' encouraging negative affectivity, punishing low effortful control, and discouraging effortful control were positively associated with toddlers' negative affectivity and effortful control, and negatively associated with surgency. 3- fathers' encouraging negative affectivity and rewarding effortful control were positively associated with toddlers' negative affectivity, effortful control, and surgency. In addition, there was a significant difference between mothers and fathers on punishment of low effortful control and discouraging surgency, favoring fathers. Limitations and future directions are discussed.
