    (Thesis (M.A.) - Bogazici University. Institute for Graduate Studies in the Social Sciences, 2022., 2022.) Çeliker Cengiz, Kevser.; Metindoğan, Ayşegül.
    This study aims to determine the mediating role of self-regulation in the relationship between parenting styles and problem behaviors among preschoolers. To do this, the direct relationships between the mediating variable (self-regulation), the predicting variable (parenting styles) and the outcome variable (problem behaviors) were established first using the SPSS 21 program, and finally, the mediation model was tested using the PROCESS macro software (Hayes, 2012). Nine hundred ninety-four mothers of preschoolers aged between 36 and 77 months (M=60.42, SD=12.6) participated in this study. Demographic Information Form, Parenting styles scale (Demir & Şendil, 2008), Turkish form of Social Competence and Behavior Evaluation Scale (Lafreinere and Dumas, 1996) that is translated by Çorapçı et al. (2010), Self-Regulation Skills Scale for Children Aged 4-6 Years (Erol & İvrendi, 2018), Emotion regulation subscale from the Turkish adaptation of the Emotion Regulation Scale (Shields and Cicchetti, 1997) translated by Batum and Yağmurlu (2007), and being overactive and careless subscale of The Preschool Behavior Problems Screening Scale (Kanlıkılıçer, 2005) were used in the online forms. This study found that self-regulation played a partial mediating role in the relationship between authoritarian parenting styles and problem behaviors and a fully mediating role in the relationship between authoritative parenting style and problem behaviors among preschoolers.

    The moderating role of parenting on the relationship between parental media mediation and parent-child conflict
    (Thesis (M.A.) - Bogazici University. Institute for Graduate Studies in the Social Sciences, 2022., 2022.) Özbey, Elif Zeynep.; Metindoğan, Ayşegül.
    The aim of this study was to examine the moderating role of parenting in the relationship between parental media mediation strategies and parent-child conflict. 136 Participants consisted of parents with a child between 44-75 months of age (M=58.64 months, SD= 8.364 months). The data were collected through the Parent Media Mediation Scale, The Turkish Form of the Child Rearing Questionnaire, and the Child-Parent Relationship Scale. First, a moderation analysis model was created to understand the relationship between parenting (parental warmth/ obedience demanding behavior), parental media mediation strategies (active mediation/ restrictive mediation) and parent-child conflict as a dependent variable. The results showed a negative relationship between active media mediation and parent-child conflict, while a negative relationship was found between restrictive media mediation and parent-child conflict. The moderation analysis did not find the moderating role of parenting in media mediation and parent-child conflict. Moreover, the screen time children spend for social media use and playing games on weekdays and weekends has a negative significant relationship with parental media mediation, while it has a significant positive relationship with parent-child conflict. The findings highlight the importance of parent-child conflict in the context of parent media mediation and parenting attitudes and the parent-child relationship. The research on the regulation strategies adopted by parents in their children's media use in early childhood and the role of parenting in the parent-child conflict relationship is limited. Thus, despite its limitations, it is feasible to say that findings of the present study well to the field.
