Abstract

Ciljevi ovog istraživanja bili su ispitati povezanost majčinog prezaštićivanja s problemima u ponašanju i prosocijalnim ponašanjem djece rane i predškolske dobi, te s dobi djeteta, brojem djece u obitelji i stručnom spremom majki. Također, cilj je bio ispitati postoje li razlike u majčinom prezaštićivanju i problemima u ponašanju s obzirom na spol djeteta, poteškoće u dobivanju djeteta i strukturu obitelji. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 262 majke djece rane i predškolske dobi iz različitih dijelova Republike Hrvatske. Istraživanje je provedeno putem online upitnika. Upitnik se sastojao od Skale roditeljskog prezaštićivanja (Thomasgard, Metz, Edelbrock i Shonkoff, 1995), Upitnika sposobnosti i poteškoća (Goodman, 1997) i sociodemografskih podataka. Rezultati ovog istraživanja pokazali su povezanost majčinog prezaštićivanja s problemima u ponašanju kod djece, kako s internaliziranim tako i s eksternaliziranim problemima. Pokazalo se da je veće majčino prezaštićivanje povezano s manjim prosocijalnim ponašanjem djece. Zatim, pokazalo se da je majčino prezaštićivanje češće kod mlađe djece, te da ne postoji povezanost broja djece u obitelji s majčinim prezaštićivanjem. Pokazalo se da majke nižeg obrazovanja više prezaštićuju djecu što je u skladu s teorijom koja navedenu povezanost objašnjava nedostatkom majčinog znanja o djetetovim sposobnostima i strahom od lošeg okruženja. Razlike u problemima u ponašanju s obzirom na spol utvrđene su samo za eksternalizirane probleme pri čemu dječaci pokazuju više eksternaliziranih problema od djevojčica. Poteškoće u dobivanju djeteta nisu pokazale povezanost s majčinim prezaštićivanjem što je u skladu očekivanim. Utvrđeno je da ne postoji statistički značajna razlika u majčinom prezaštićivanju i problemima u ponašanju s obzirom na strukturu obitelji što se kosi s prethodnim istraživanjima.

Abstract (english)

Goals of this research were to test relationship between mothers overprotection and behavioral problems and prosocial behaviors of children in early and preschool age, child's age, number of children in family and mothers education. Also the goal was to test if there were differences in mothers overprotection and behavior problems considering child's gender, problems with conceiving and family structure. 262 mothers with children early or preschool age from different parts of Croatia took part in this research. The research was conducted through an online questionnaire which was consisted of The Parental Protection Scale (Thomasgard, Metz, Edelbrock & Shonkoff, 1995), The Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (Goodman, 1997) and sociodemographic data. Results of this research have shown that mothers overprotection is in positive relationship with children's internalizing and with externalization behavioral problems. It was shown that the greater mothers' overprotection is in relationship to lesser prosocial behavior in children. It has shown that mothers' overprotection is more frequent with younger children, and it is not related to a number of children in family. Gender differences in behavioral problems are established only for externalizing problems, meaning that boys show more externalizing problems than girls. Difficulties in conceiving did not show relationship with motherly overprotection, which is in line whit the expectations. It is established that there is no statistically significant difference in mothers overprotection and behavioral problems related to family structure, which isn't in line with previous researches.
