STUDIES IN PSYCHOLOGY-PSIKOLOJI CALISMALARI DERGISI, cilt.41, sa.2, ss.521-548, 2021 (ESCI)
Recent developmental psychology studies conducted within the context of values and children's value acquisition have shown that even during the early years of middle childhood, children's value priorities can occur. Parents. who arc the primary actors in the socialization process. play an important role in the value development of their children. In this study, the similarities between mother-child dyads in terms of the 10 value types of Schwartz were examined. For this aim, a total of 172 mothers and their children between ages 6-11 (M - 8.5, SD = 1.23) years attending 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grade in primary schools in Ankara were included in this study. The Portrait Value Questionnaire was used to assess mothers' values, and the Picture-Based Value Survey was used to assess children's values. 'the findings showed that mothers gave priority to the values of achievement, security, and self-direction and high-order values of self-enhancement and conservation. In contrast, it was found that children gave priority to the values of tradition, benevolence, and universality and higher-order values of self-transcendence and conservation. Furthermore. it was seen that the values of the mother child dyads had lower similarities, and the order of the priority of the value types differed from each other. In addition, our findings revealed that there were significant relationships among the mother's education, total monthly income, and mother-child value similarity, which varied according to the age of the child. While the mothers' education and total monthly income were not associated with the mother-younger child value similarity, these were negatively associated with the mother-older child value similarity. Similarly, it was observed that the relationship among the mothers' education, total monthly income, and mother child value similarity also varied according to the gender of the child. While the mothers' education and total monthly income were not associated with the mother son value similarity, these were negatively associated with the mother daughter value similarity. In conclusion, it is thought that these findings can provide information about the intergenerational transfer of values and provide guiding clues for the regulation of curriculum related to value education in schools.
