Abstract

Ebeveynler arası çatışmaya maruz kalma, beliren
yetişkinlikte psikolojik problemler için önemli bir risk faktörüdür. Bu
çalışmada, ebeveynler arası çatışma, bilişsel değerlendirmeler ve psikolojik
sıkıntı arasındaki bağlantılar incelenmiştir. Yaşları 18 ile 27 (ORT = 19.86,
SS = 1.54) arasında değişen toplam 313 beliren yetişkin (228 kadın, %72.8; 85
erkek, %27.2) çalışmada yer almıştır. Katılımcılar, Çocukların Evlilik
Çatışmasını Algılaması Ölçeği (CPIC), CPIC’ın Tehdit ve Kendini Suçlama alt
boyutları ile Kısa Semptom Envanteri’ni (KSE) doldurmuşlardır. Araştırma
bulguları, ebeveynler arası çatışmanın beliren yetişkinlikte tehdit ve kendini
suçlama değerlendirmelerini doğrudan etkilediğini göstermiştir. Çoklu aracılık
analizlerinden elde edilen bulgular, tehdit ve kendini suçlama algılarının
ebeveynler arası çatışma ve psikolojik sıkıntı arasındaki ilişkide tam aracılık
ettiğini göstermiştir. Başka bir deyişle, araştırmada ebeveynler arası
çatışmanın artan tehdit ve kendini suçlama algılarıyla bağlantılı olduğu; bunun
da daha fazla psikolojik sıkıntıyla ilişkilendiği saptanmıştır. Araştırma
bulguları, ebeveynler arası çatışmaya maruz kalmanın çocukluk ve ergenlik
dönemlerinin de ötesinde hala potansiyel bir risk faktörü olduğunu
göstermiştir.

Interparental Conflict and Emerging Adults’ Psychological Distress: Do Cognitive Appraisals Matter?

Year 2019, Volume: 20 Issue: 3, 831 - 841, 31.12.2019

Abstract

Exposure to
interparental conflict is a risk factor for psychological problems in emerging
adulthood. The present study explored the links among interparental conflict,
cognitive appraisals, and psychological distress in emerging adulthood. Three
hundred thirteen emerging adults (228 females, 72.8%; 85 males, 27.2%) between
the ages of 18 to 27 (M = 19.86, SD = 1.54) participated in the research.
Participants completed measures of Perception of Interparental Conflict Scale
(CPIC), Threat and Self-blame scales of the CPIC, and Brief Symptom Inventory
(BSI). Findings showed that interparental conflict directly affected the
appraisals of threat and self-blame in emerging adulthood. Results from
multiple mediation analyses indicated that appraisals of threat and self-blame
fully mediate the relationship between interparental conflict and
psychological distress. That is, interparental conflict was linked to
increased appraisals of threat and self-blame, which in turn was related to
greater psychological distress. Results suggest that exposure to interparental
conflict is still a potential risk factor beyond childhood and adolescence
period.
