Abstract

In this study the reliability and validity of 42 items-Maternal Gatekeeping Scale-Mother Form (MGS-M), a scale developed to evaluate encoragement, discouragement and control behaviors of mothers on fathers, were examined for the Turkish adaptation. A total of 210 mothers with children aged 4-6 participated in the study. Confirmatory factor analyses revealed that MGS-M has a three-factor solution in accordance with the original scale. The correlation coefficients with the Father Involvement Scale, used to determine the criterion validity of the MGS-M, were in the expected direction and significant. The sub-dimensions of MGS-M were found to have acceptable intarnal consistency and split-half reliability. In accordance with the original study, eight maternal gatekeeping types were formed by the crossing of the three-factor and the prevalence of the types of maternal gatekeeping were determined. The findings indicate that the reliability and validity of the scale were satisfactory. Sub-dimensions of maternal gatekeeping were examined according to some demographic characteristics and all findings were discussed in terms of related literature and future studies.

Özet

Bu çalışmada, annelerin babalar üzerindeki teşvik edici, kontrolcü ve kısıtlayıcı davranışlarının değerlendirilebilmesi amacıyla geliştirilen 42 maddelik Anne Bekçiliği Ölçeği Anne Formu (ABÖ-A) Türkçeye uyarlanarak geçerlik ve güvenirlik açısından incelenmiştir. Araştırmaya 4-6 yaş arası çocuğa sahip toplamda 210 anne katılmıştır. Yapı geçerliğini belirleyebilmek için yürütülen doğrulayıcı faktör analizi ABÖ-A’nın orijinal ölçek ile uyumlu olarak üç faktörlü yapıya sahip olduğunu göstermiştir. ABÖ-A’nın kriter geçerliğinin belirlenmesi için kullanılan Baba Katılım Ölçeği (BAKÖ) ile korelasyon katsayıları anlamlı ve beklenen yöndedir. ABÖ-A’nın alt ölçeklerinin kabul edilebilir düzeyde yarıya bölme iç tutarlığa sahip olduğu bulunmuştur. Orijinal çalışmaya uygun olarak, üç alt boyutun çaprazlanması ile sekiz anne bekçiliği alt türü oluşturulmuş ve bekçilik türlerinin görülme sıklıkları belirlenmiştir. Bulgular, ölçeğin güvenirliği ve geçerliğinin tatmin edici düzeyde olduğuna işaret etmektedir. Anne bekçiliği alt boyutları birtakım demografik özelliklere göre de incelenerek, tüm bulgular ilgili literatür ve gelecek çalışmalar açısından tartışılmıştır.
