Abstract:

The study aimed at studying the relationship between the forms of connecting the mothers of children aged 5-6 to the personality characteristics of the mothers and the forms of connecting the children to the mothers. The study group, designed in accordance with the relational scan model, consisted of 160 mothers and their children (84 girls, 76 men, 74 five years old, 86 six years old) who agreed to participate in the study on the European side of Istanbul. The study used "Personal Information Form" for demographic information, "16 Personnel Reserve (16 PF)" to measure the personality characteristics of mothers, "Play Story Complementation Test" to measure the forms of mother's connections, "Live Reserve in Near Relationships" to measure the forms of child's connections. According to the study, a relationship between the forms of connection of mothers and personality characteristics has been found only at the low level of anxiety. Nevertheless, the personality characteristics of the mothers have found a meaningful relationship between the variables of externality-inclusion, anxiety-rush, reality-conscious, accepted-independent, freely-controlled and the ways of connecting the children. There is no meaningful relationship between the forms of connection of mothers and the forms of connection of children.
