Özet:

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to determine whether high school students’ syhness differentiate according to perceived parents’ attitudes and there is meaningful difference between shyness and problem-solving approach. Research has been done in accordance with the general scanning model. Methods: The sample of this study consists of total of 652 students,377 of them female and 275 of them male selected through random cluster sampling method. Sample group consists of students;%24.7 of them 9th grade,% 44.5 10thgrade,and %30’.8 of them 11th grade. For determining students’ shyness, ‘shyness Scale’ developed in 1990 by Cheek and adapted to Turkish by Güngör in 2001 was used.In determining Students’ problem-solving approach,”Problem Solving Inventory” developed by Heppner and Petersen (1982) and adopted to Turkish by Şahin, Şahin and Heppner (1993) was used. No other scale was applied to determine attitudes of parents. In the Personal Information Form parents were asked to mark parental attitudes which they think appropriate for themselves. In the analysis of data, variance analysis, Tukey test, Pearson product moment correlation coefficient and regression analysis was used. Results: As a result of research, it has been observed that high school students’ shyness differentiate in meaningful level according to perceived parent attitudes and it has been found that score averages of students who define perceived parent attitudes as authoritarian are significantly higher than the ones who define as democratic. Another finding of research shows that there is a relationship in significant level between shyness and thinking, avoidant, assessor, self-confident and planned approaches by problemsolving approaches.
