“…As Turkey has a historical background on oil wrestling (Başaran & Guűrcűm, 2011), there is a possibility that Turkish parents are more familiar with strength exercises. Moreover, although the previous study by Ten Hoor et al (2015) did not find any gender difference in the attitudes of parents from the Netherlands towards strength exercises, we predict that this might be different for Turkish parents as the gender stereotypes are quite salient in Turkish culture (Koca & Hacısoftaoğlu, 2010;Erkal et al, 2007;Kaya, 2015). Therefore, the gender of parents might affect their attitudes towards their children's exercise type.…”

In this study, parental attitudes towards aerobic and strength exercises from Turkish parents were examined. In a first study, interviews were conducted with 10 Turkish parents (4 mothers, 6 fathers). In a second study, a Dutch study by ten Hoor et al. (2015) was replicated in Turkey after which data was cautiously compared to examine if there are any cultural differences. A total of 321 Turkish parents filled out an online survey regarding their own and their children's physical activity, and more specifically, their attitudes towards aerobic and strength exercises. Overall, study 1 showed that Turkish parents were positive about their children's strength exercises. Similar to the study by Ten Hoor et al. (2015), study 2 demonstrated that Turkish parents had more positive attitudes for aerobic exercises compared to strength exercises. Cautious comparisons between Dutch and Turkish parents generally showed no differences. Turkish parents with negative attitudes towards strength exercises of their child provided similar reasons compared to the Dutch sample. In conclusion, Turkish and Dutch parents have similar opinions regarding physical activity and its types. For Turkish parents, negative attitudes about strength exercises are based on misperceptions -similar to what was found in Dutch parents. Future interventions are needed to deal with those misperceptions.

“…Maternal and paternal contributions in child development may vary. In the Turkish cultural context, mothers are generally the primary caregivers and their involvement in childcare (e.g., time spent, interactions, and responsibility) is more prominent compared to paternal involvement (Erkal et al, 2007). In addition to childcare in general, mothers might have greater roles in emotional socialization within the family context.…”

Individuals use different strategies dealing with their negative emotions and these strategies are associated with various adjustment outcomes. In the family context, parental emotion regulation strategies are also linked to the children’s emotion regulation. One aim of the current study is to examine the type of emotion regulation strategies used by parents in the Turkish cultural context. Another aim is to exploratorily investigate whether parents’ emotion regulation processes emerge in a way that predicts their children’s emotion dysregulation. One hundred seven families that had a child attending primary school participated in this study. We conducted semi-structured interviews with the parents at their homes. Child emotion dysregulation was also measured with the Emotion Regulation Checklist. Based on content analysis, the findings revealed four main themes showing a converging pattern among parents, namely non-confrontation, proactive strategies, metacognitive strategies, and dysregulated expression. In the subsequent quantitative part of the study, parental adaptiveness scores for emotion regulation strategies were calculated to examine relationships with children’s emotion dysregulation. The findings of separate hierarchical regression analyses for mothers and fathers indicated that the maternal, but not paternal, adaptiveness level in emotion regulation significantly predicted the child’s emotion dysregulation after controlling for parental education and the child’s age and gender. These qualitative and quantitative findings contribute to the literature by drawing a comprehensive picture of emotion regulation in the family context in Turkey.

“…When looking more specifically at families in Turkey, traditional attitudes seem to be maintaining their impact on parenthood (Erkal et al 2007). Although some recent studies have focused on paternal involvement in childcare (Uludağlı 2017;Ünlü-Çetin & Olgan 2021) and interventions have been conducted to increase paternal involvement (Kılıç 2010), mothers are still perceived as the primary caregivers and are more involved in childcare compared to fathers.…”

“…Mothers tend to engage in more interaction with, take more responsibility for, and be more accessible to their children (Erkal et al 2007). Therefore, there is a need for a culturally appropriate, valid, and reliable scale to measure these attitudes.…”

The main aim of this study  was to develop a reliable and valid measurement tool for exploring parents' traditional and modern approaches to parenting. Although some scales focus on attitudes about parenthood, many of those are out of date or do not appropriately focus on parents' attitudes toward parenting in the Turkish culture. Thus, a new scale measuring parental attitudes in the Turkish cultural context is needed for proper assessment. With that goal, this study was undertaken with three separate samples including mothers and fathers. Principal component analyses were carried out to determine the factor structure of the scale and results showed that the scale has two dimensions: traditional and modern approaches. Confirmatory factor analyses were also conducted to check the two-factor structure and suggested that the scale has an acceptable model fit. Finally, the internal consistency scores and significant associations demonstrated that the scale has good psychometric properties in terms of reliability and validity. The current study has thus provided a reliable and valid scale for researchers to investigate and assess parents' traditional and modern attitudes toward parenting.
