“…A study on attachment theory discourse present in educational materials for Icelandic parents has shown that these materials incorporate classic ideas about the primacy of the mother and the intensification of motherhood where little effort has been made to incorporate fathers into the discourse or to include them as meaningful agents when it comes to attachment and bonding or to promote a culture of shared parenthood (Símonardóttir, 2016a). Although most of the educational materials simply address mothers directly, some effort has been made to introduce a more inclusive, gender neutral language of 'care-givers' or 'parents' but more often than not the language reverts back into 'mother' language.…”

“…Although most of the educational materials simply address mothers directly, some effort has been made to introduce a more inclusive, gender neutral language of 'care-givers' or 'parents' but more often than not the language reverts back into 'mother' language. Fathers are not expected to fully inhabit the role of care-giver in the same way mothers are; and their bodies, thoughts and actions are not scrutinised or pathologised to the same degree (Símonardóttir, 2016a).…”

“…No longer are there special classes reserved solely for fathers in the antenatal courses, and no focused effort is made to increase the participation of fathers. On the contrary, as recent sociological research has shown; discourses on mothering in Iceland point to an intensification of mothering by constructing motherhood and breastfeeding as something natural, free of social conventions and troublesome intrusions like gender equality (Símonardóttir, 2016a). In some cases, this seems to lead to shaming and harassment of mothers who do not comply with the stated norm (Símonardóttir, 2016b).…”

Iceland enjoys a reputation as one of the most gender equal countries in the world. It has also received much attention for an innovative approach to parental leave where fathers have three months of non-transferable leave, thereby encouraging active involvement of fathers in the caretaking of their children. This article focuses on the discrepancy between on the one hand the goals of the state of drawing men, particularly fathers, into traditional female dominated areas such as caregiving of infants and young children and on the other hand a discourse that equates motherhood with parenthood and promotes the ideology of intensive mothering.

“…Thus, they disproportionately increase the workload of middle-class mothers and add to their anxiety on the social reproduction of the family (Reay et al, 2008). There are indications that intensification of motherly duties in Iceland is underway in a similar way it has been in other Western countries (Símonardóttir, 2016).…”

This study aims to explore the social and ethnic background of pupils admitted to private schools at the compulsory level in Iceland so as to identify possible social class segregation between public and private schools. Additionally, we examine how parents reason their choice of private education for their children. Bourdieu’s concepts of capital, symbolic power and distinction are used to think through our findings. Data consist of descriptive statistics and interviews with parents. Our findings show that many of the private schools attract privileged parents, but that this is contingent upon the schools’ geographical location. Parental discourse links good behaviour and ambition with the private schools, while simultaneously labelling the public schools as failing. Parents who align with the intellectual fraction show signs of experiencing a moral dilemma over their choice. Overall, our findings suggest that to some extent, private schools serve as a tool for educational distinction.

“…Konuyla ilgili olarak yapılan araştırmada baskı ve şiddet vurgusu ile yapılandırılan babalık rolünün, çocuk ile baba arasındaki duygusal etkileşimi engellediği, bu engel sonucunda ise babaların çocuklarının bakım ve duygusal ihtiyaçlarına karşı duyarlılık geliştiremediği görülmektedir(Pontes, Osório ve Alexandrino, 2009). Panter ve ark., 2014;Símonardóttir, 2016). Aynı zamanda cinsiyet eşitliği ile sağlanan gelir artışının, baba ebeveynlerin ekonomik sorumlulukları üzerinde azaltıcı etkilere sahip olduğu söylenebilir.…”

İlk teşekkürüm, tez sürecim boyunca bana yardımını esirgemeyen tez danışmanım Dr. Öğr. Üyesi Sayın Alper Çuhadaroğlu'na. Ayrıca tezimin araştırma ve yazımı sırasında bana olan desteği ve inancı için en değerli yol arkadaşım olan sevgili eşime de sonsuz teşekkürlerimi sunarım. Son olarak ''Bu tezi ilk kahramanım olan babam M. Hayrettin AYDOĞMUŞ'a ithaf ediyorum.'' İnsanlık onuru, saygı, değer ve sevgiyi tüm samimiyetiyle bana anlatan canım babam, babam olduğun için duyduğum gururu hissedebilmen dileğiyle. Sırmahan AYDOĞMUŞ Eylül, 2018 v ÖZ 48-72 AYLIK ÇOCUKLARIN BİLİŞSEL STİLLERİ İLE BABA KATILIMI ARASINDAKİ İLİŞKİ Sırmahan AYDOĞMUŞ Yüksek Lisans Tezi Psikoloji Anabilim Dalı Danışman: Unvanı. Doktor Öğretim Üyesi: Alper ÇUHADAROĞLU Maltepe Üniversitesi Sosyal Bilimler Enstitüsü, 2018Araştırmanın amacı, 48-72 aylık çocukların bilişsel stillerinin baba katılımı açısından yaş, cinsiyet, kardeş sayısı ve babaların baba öğrenim ve sosyo-ekonomik düzeyine göre farklı olup olmadığını incelemektir. Çocukların bilişsel stilleri, Kansas Okul Öncesi Çocuklar için Düşünsellik-İçtepisellik Ölçeği -A formundan (KRISP-A Form) elde edilen tepki süresi ve hata sayıları ile belirlenmektedir. Araştırma, ilişkisel tarama modeli ile KRISP-A formundan elde edilen tepki süresi ve hata sayısı puanlarının baba katılımına etki eden bazı değişkenler ile ilişkisi açısından değerlendirilmektedir. Araştırmanın ölçekleri, 48-72 aylık toplam 239 çocuk ve baba katılımcıya uygulanmıştır. Araştırmada, çocuklara Kansas Okul Öncesi Çocuklar için Düşünsellik-İçtepisellik Ölçeği-A formu (KRISP-A Formu) babalara ise Kişisel Bilgi Formu ve Baba Katılım Ölçeği (BAKÖ) uygulanmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda, 48-72 aylık çocukların tepki süreleri ile yaş, cinsiyet, kardeş sayısı ve babaların öğrenim düzeyleri arasında anlamlı düzeyde farklılıklar gözlenmemektedir. Yalnızca çocukların tepki süreleri ile baba öğrenim düzeyleri arasında anlamlı farklılıklara rastlanmıştır. 48-72 aylık çocukların hata sayılarında ise yaş, cinsiyet, kardeş sayısı, babaların öğrenim düzeyi ve sosyo-ekonomik düzeyleri arasında anlamlı farklılıklar görülmektedir. Baba katılımının alt boyutları ile çocukların hata sayısı arasında anlamlı ilişkiler gözlemlenirken, tepki sürelerinde ise anlamlı farklılıklara ratlanılmamaktadır.The purpose of the researcher is to investigate if cognitive styles of 48-72 months of children differs according to age, gender, father's education, socioeconomic status in terms of father involvement. Cognitive styles of children is determined by reaction span and the number of errors obtained from Kansas Reflection-Impulsivity Scale for Preschoolers Form A (KRISP). The research is evaluated by the relationships between reaction span and the number of errors obtained from KRISP-A by relational screening model and some variables which affect father involvement. Scales of the research was administered to 239 children who are 48-72 months old and fathers. Children were administered Kansas Reflection-Impulsivity Scale for Preschoolers Form A (KRISP) while fathers were ...
