Abstract:

In this study, it is aimed that examining the relation between the separation anxiety of the children and separation anxiety of parents and their attitudes towards parenting. For this purpose, 467 mothers-fathers resident in Ankara were reached. It is the "Separation Anxiety Evaluation Scale – Parents Form" which was adapted into Turkish by Teze and Arslan (2016) used in this study to determine the level of separation anxiety of the children. On the other hand, what were used that "Questionnaire of Separation Anxiety of Adults" which was adapted into Turkish by Diriöz and at al. (2011) to measure the separation anxiety of parents, and "Attitude Towards Parenting Scale" which was adapted into Turkish by Seçer and others (2008) to determine their attitudes towards parenting. "Personal Information Form" created by the researcher was used to obtain demographic information about participants. Both mothers' and fathers' of the children whose fear of being alone and abandonment are high, separation anxiety found (also) high. When mothers of children with high level of 'fear of being alone' compared to mothers of children with low level of 'fear of being alone', their attitudes towards parenting found low. According to the findings acquired from this research, the parents of children whose 'fear of being alone' is high, have less satisfaction from parenting. It has been observed that the mothers of children with high level of 'fear of abandonment' have low level of attitude and interest towards parenting. However, there is no significant difference between the average score of general perceived ability towards parenting and the average score of interest towards parenting of mothers of the children whose 'fear of being alone' are high and low. When individual and educational qualifications are observed 'fear of abandonment' varies significantly by growing age. When the number of the children in a family is evaluated, children in families with single child have higher level of 'fear of abandonment' than children in families with two or more children.
