Abstract

Objective: Adolescence has been viewed as the period of identity construction in Erikson's Psychosocial developmental theory. According to attachment theory, attachment and exploration are interrelated. The basic activity in the process of identity formation is trying new roles, in other words demonstration of exploration activity. These characteristics show that identity and attachment are interrelated. The aim of this study was to investigate if the identity status differentiated according to attachment styles. Method: The research group was composed of 128 female and 73 male first year students who attended depertmants of Educational Sciences and Law School in Ankara University. In this research, EOM-EIS (Extended Version of Objective Measure of Ego Identity ) were administered to determine identity status and RSQ (Relationships Scale Questionare) were administered to determine the attachment styles. Results: In this study, it was found out that the dimension of moratorium foreclousure, diffusion identity status differentiated by attachment styles, without of the exception of succesful identity status.Conclusion: Findings were discussed in the light of Psychosocial Developmental Theory, Attachment Theory and other research findings.

Özet

Amaç: Ergenlik, Erikson'un psikososyal gelişim kuramında kimlik yapılarının oluşturulduğu dönem olarak belirlenmiştir. Bağlanma kuramına göre bağlanma ve keşfetme davranışı birbiri ile bağlantılıdır. Kimlik oluşturma sürecinde de temel etkinlik bireyin keşfetme davranışını ortaya koymasıdır. Bu yönleri ile kimlik ve bağlanma birbiri ile yakından ilişkili görünmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı ergenlik döneminde kimlik statülerinin bağlanma stilleri açısından farklılaşıp farklılaşmadığını incelenmesidir. Yöntem: Çalışmanın araştırma grubunu Ankara Üniversitesi Eğitim Bilimleri ve Hukuk Fakültesi 1. sınıf öğrencileri olan 128 kız ve 73 erkek olmak üzere toplam 201 kişi oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmada kimlik statülerini belirlemek amacı ile Benlik Kimliği Statüleri Ölçeği (BKSÖ) ve bağlanma stillerini belirlemek amacı ile de İlişki Ölçekleri Anketi (İÖA) kullanılmıştır. Sonuçlar: Çalışmanın sonuçlarına göre kimlik statüleri bağlanma stillerine göre farklılaşmaktadır. Başarılı kimlik statüsü dışında moratoryum, ipotekli ve dağınık kimlik statüleri boyutlarında bağlanma stilleri açısından anlamlı farklılıklar saptanmıştır. Tartışma: Çalışmanın sonuçları kuramsal bilgiler ve araştırma sonuçları ile karşılaştırılarak tartışılmıştır.
