“…This study overlaps with finding of Seven (2017) that mothers' eye contact attempts in mother-child interaction often end in failure. The fact that majority of children's messages are not noticed by mothers was reported in another study dealing with sensitivity of mothers (Seven & Alabay, 2020). It is also considered that frequent eye contact attempts of mothers were found preventive of the game by children.…”

Eye contact has been defined as an exchange that mediates a significant part of non-verbal procedures between people. Although studies have been carried out on eye contact between adults, the number of studies dealing with the quality, process and messages of eye contact between children and attachment figures is limited. The goal of this study is to analyse the quality, process and messages of eye contact between 3-year-old children and their mothers during their interaction in a play setting. It is a qualitative case study. Micro analysis was used as the analysis method. 14 children aged 3 years, 8 girls and 6 boys, participated in the study with their mothers. A 10-minute play process was recorded in a standard setting with standard materials. Records were evaluated in periods cut with micro analysis method and transformed into graphics. Study results showed 374 attempts to make eye contact between children and their mothers. It was understood that majority of these attempts were initiated by the mothers and the success/failure rate of these attempts were close each other. It was observed that the success rate of eye contact was higher when it was initiated by children and failure rate of eye contact was higher in cases when it was initiated by mothers. Causes of making eye contact shows that mothers were more likely to make eye contact when they ask questions, wait for an answer and control the child and children tried to make eye contact when they ask for approval of their mothers, chat and exchange ideas with them.

“…The nuclear family has emerged as the dominant family type in Turkish society in the last 50 years. However, studies in recent years have found that parents in nuclear families continue to display many behaviours related to the roles in the extended family (Seven & Alabay, 2020). Ilhan-Ildız and Seven (2018) revealed in their study that parents continued extended family attitudes and behaviour patterns towards their children regardless of the dominance of the nuclear family type in Turkish culture.…”

This study aims to analyse the attachment stability of children living in different family types from the age of 6 to 11. The study sample comprises 56 children living in Muş, Turkey, including 28 nuclear families and 28 extended families. The “Incomplete Doll Family Story Scale” was used to evaluate the attachment styles of 6-year-old children. The attachment styles of 11-year-old children were evaluated with the “Kerns Secure Attachment Scale”. The analysis revealed that the attachment of 52% of the study group was stable. No changes were observed in the attachment styles of 52% of children living in nuclear families and 47% of children living in extended families, considering attachment consistency in family type. The results show that the attachment levels of children from both family types are significantly consistent from the age of 6 to 11, and the attachment stability of children living in nuclear families is stronger than children living in extended families.

“…The predictability of mothers is an important quality for secure attachment. As the infants grow, positive synchrony is supported by various activities such as eye contact, face-to-face interaction, peek-aboo and other games, playing with toys, tidying the house together and preparing meals together (Cohn & Elmore, 1988;Seven & Alabay, 2020).…”
