Parenting Issues and Attachment Orientations: A Comparison between Turkey and Bosnia and Herzegovina
Ata, Seda
Early Child Development and Care, v192 n10 p1581-1598 2022
A growing body of literature links particular parenting practices with attachment orientations in the Western societies. However, the effects of cultural differences on such linkages have not been adequately addressed in the literature on attachment. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the relationship between child-rearing behaviors and adult attachment orientations in Bosnian and Turkish parents. 227 parents (124 Bosnian and 111 Turkish) aged 25-45 years were selected by multiple cluster sampling method. They filled out the following questionnaires: 'Child Rearing Behaviors Questionnaire' and 'Experiences in Close Relationships-Revised Questionnaire (ECRI II).' The most interesting finding is that the attachment orientations were not a predictor of any childrearing behaviors in both countries. These results present the consequences of attachment and parenting issues in non-western societies.
