Abstract

Στην  παρούσα έρευνα διερευνήθηκαν τα επίπεδα άγχους των εφήβων και η έδρα ελέγχου σε συσχέτιση με τις αντιλαμβανόμενες πρακτικές ανατροφής και τη γονικότητα. Έχει αναδειχθεί ερευνητικά ότι οι γονικές πρακτικές ανατροφής και η εξωτερική έδρα ελέγχου συσχετίζονται με το άγχος στα παιδιά, ενώ περιορισμένος αριθμός ερευνών έχουν εστιαστεί στη συσχέτιση αυτή κατά την περίοδο της εφηβικής ηλικίας. Το δείγμα της παρούσας έρευνας αποτέλεσαν 286 έφηβοι της Γ’ Γυμνασίου και Α’ και Β’ Λυκείου σχολείων της Αττικής. Στους συμμετέχοντες χορηγήθηκαν το Spence Children’s Anxiety Scale (SCAS) για τη μέτρηση των επιπέδων άγχους, το  Nowicki-Strickland Locus of Control (NSLOC) για την έδρα ελέγχου και το Egna Minnenav Barndoms Uppforstran (EMBU-My Memories of Upbringing) για τις αντιλαμβανόμενες γονικές πρακτικές. Τα αποτελέσματα της μελέτης καταδεικνύουν θετική συσχέτιση ανάμεσα στην προσλαμβανόμενη γονική υπερπροστατευτικότητα, την απόρριψη, την έδρα ελέγχου, αλλά και το άγχος. Επίσης, καταδεικνύεται  ότι οι γονικές πρακτικές και πιο συγκεκριμένα η πατρική απόρριψη, η μητρική υπερπροστατευτικότητα και η έδρα ελέγχου μαζί με το φύλο ερμηνεύουν το 49% της διασποράς του άγχους των εφήβων. Τέλος, από την μελέτη καταδεικνύεται και ότι η έδρα ελέγχου διαδραματίζει διαμεσολαβητικό ρόλο ανάμεσα στη γονική υπερπροστατευτικότητα και το άγχος. Τα ερευνητικά αποτελέσματα της παρούσας έρευνας δείχνουν ότι οι προσλαμβανόμενες από τους εφήβους γονικές πρακτικές ανατροφής μαζί με την έδρα ελέγχου σχετίζονται και μπορούν να προβλέψουν τα επίπεδα άγχους. Η παρούσα έρευνα συμβάλλει αθροιστικά στην αποσαφήνιση και στην καλύτερη κατανόηση των μηχανισμών που διαπερνούν τη σχέση ανάμεσα στις γονικές πρακτικές και το άγχος των εφήβων.
