Abstract

Students are at the focus of exam anxiety but parents may also become an important part of this process. The purpose of the current study was to examine the role of perfectionism, irrational beliefs, need for social approval and gender as predictors of parent exam anxiety. The participants of the study were 178 parents (113 (63.48%) female and 65 (36.52%) male) living in a province in the Central Black Sea Region in Turkey. The mean age of the participants was 42.28, Sd = 5.90. Personal Information Form, Need for Social Approval Scale, Irrational Beliefs Scale, Exam Anxiety Scale for Parents and APS Perfectionism Scale were employed as the data collection tools in the study. Pearson Correlation Coefficient for the correlation of variables and Multiple Regression Analysis for the predictive power of independent variables were utilized in analyzing the data. According to the results of the research, positive perfectionism and social approval were significantly related to the parent exam anxiety, but the contributions in the regression model were found non-significant. It was also found that negative perfectionism, irrational beliefs and gender predicted 26% of parent exam anxiety. Negative perfectionism, gender and irrational beliefs contributed to the model most, respectively. Findings obtained from the research were discussed and interpreted in the direction of the literature and further suggestions were made for researchers and practitioners studying in the field of psychological counseling and guidance.

Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı ebeveyn sınav kaygısının yordayıcıları olarak sosyal onay ihtiyacı, akılcı olmayan inançlar, mükemmeliyetçilik ve cinsiyetin rolünü incelemektir. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu Orta Karadeniz'de yer alan bir il merkezindeki 113 (%63.48) kadın ve 65 (%36.52) erkek olmak üzere toplam 178 öğrenci velisi oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmaya katılanların yaş ortalaması 42.28, Ss= 5.90’dür. Araştırmada veri toplama araçları olarak, Kişisel Bilgi Formu, Sosyal Onay İhtiyacı Ölçeği, Akılcı Olmayan İnançlar Ölçeği, Ebeveyn Sınav Kaygısı Ölçeği ve APS Mükemmeliyetçilik Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde değişkenler arasındaki ilişkilerin incelenmesi için için Pearson Momentler Çarpımı Korelasyon Katsayısı ve bağımsız değişkenlerin bağımlı değişkenleri yordama gücünü belirlemek için Çoklu Regresyon Analizi kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda olumlu mükemmeliyetçilik ve sosyal onay ebeveyn sınav kaygısı ile anlamlı olarak ilişkili olsa da regresyon modelindeki katkıları anlamlı bulunmamıştır. Olumsuz mükemmeliyetçilik, cinsiyet ve akılcı olmayan inançların hep birlikte ebeveyn sınav kaygısının yüzde 26'sını açıkladığı bulunmuştur. Modele sırasıyla, mükemmeliyetçiliğin daha sonra cinsiyetin ve son olarak akılcı olmayan inançların katkı sağladığı ortaya çıkmıştır.
