Özet:
This thesis examined
the antecedents of parental rejection in everyday life and stressful
conditions. Study 1 examined the role of parents' education, depression, and
socialization goals; marital conflict, and social support along with child age,
for both parents, by considering the moderating role of child gender and
negative affect for parental rejection. Moreover, the dyadic link among parents
in terms of socialization goals, authoritative parenting beliefs were tested
for parental rejection. Study 2 examined the differences in perceived rejection
before and amid the Corona Virus Disease- 2019 (COVID-19) Pandemic by
considering the role of pandemic-related risk and protective factors through
the mediating role of mothers' psychological distress.
Study 1 showed that
education level and social support was associated with less maternal rejection,
whereas hierarchical relatedness goals was associated with increased maternal
rejection. Moreover, social support for mothers was associated with less
rejection, especially for girls with high negative affect. For fathers,
depressive symptoms and children's negative affect were associated with
paternal rejection. Autonomy supporting goals was associated with less
perceived rejection by their sons. In cases of high marital conflict, fathers
were perceived as less rejecting parents by their daughters and children who
have less negative affect. Dyadic analysis showed that fathers' authoritative
parenting beliefs mediated the link between autonomy supporting goals and
parental rejection for both parents. Study 2 showed the mediating role of
maternal psychological distress for pandemic-related anxiety, chaos in the
family environment but not for decrease in income in predicting maternal
rejection. Neither marital satisfaction nor social support had a protective
role for mothers.
