| Abstract | Helikopter roditeljstvo je nov te nedovoljno istražen konstrukt u području psihologije roditeljstva, a karakterizira ga pretjerana uključenost roditelja u život djece, često neprimjerena razvojnom stadiju djeteta. Ovakav intenzivan oblik roditeljstva i roditeljske uključenosti u odgoj i život djece može negativno doprinijeti razvojnim ishodima kod djece. U ovom se istraživanju razmatraju razlike između majki i očeva u samoprocjenama pretjeranog zaštićivanja djece, razlike dječjih i roditeljskih procjena pretjeranog zaštićivanja djece te zastupljenost teškoća i snaga djece. Ujedno se razmatraju doprinosi sociodemografskih varijabli i dječjih procjena roditeljskog ponašanja (pretjeranog zaštićivanja od strane roditelja) u objašnjenju teškoća/snaga i otpornosti djece. U istraživanju je sudjelovao 91 učenik i 106 učenica od drugog do osmog razreda osnovne škole kao i njihovi roditelji, 117 majki i 115 očeva. Za potrebe ovog istraživanja adaptirana je i validirana Skala otpornosti za djecu (Chung i sur., 2021). Obradom je podataka utvrđeno kako očevi iskazuju više prezaštitničkog ponašanja prema djeci u odnosu na majke. Nadalje, djeca prezaštitnička ponašanja majki i očeva procjenjuju višim u odnosu na svoje roditelje te navode da imaju više internaliziranih teškoća u odnosu na procjene istih od strane njihovih roditelja. Međutim, roditelji kod svoje djece navode više procjene prosocijalnog ponašanja u odnosu na samoprocjene djece. Hijerarhijske analize rezultata ukazuju na značajan doprinos spola, dobi i dječjih procjena prezaštitničkog ponašanja očeva u objašnjenju otpornosti djece. Dječaci navode više razine otpornosti u odnosu na djevojčice, a starija djeca koja procjenjuju niže razine prezaštitničkog ponašanja očeva iskazuju niže razine otpornosti. Nadalje, više internaliziranih teškoća navode djevojčice u odnosu na dječake. Naposljetku, utvrđen je značajan doprinos spola i djetetovih procjena prezaštićivanja od strane oca u objašnjenju snaga djece. Naime, djevojčice i djeca koja kod svojih očeva prepoznaju više prezaštitiničkog ponašanja iskazuju više prosocijalnog ponašanja. |
| Abstract (english) | Helicopter parenting is a new and insufficiently researched construct in the field of parenting psychology, which is characterized by excessive parental involvement in children's lives, often inappropriate to the child's developmental stage. This intense form of parenting and parental involvement in children's upbringing and life can negatively contribute to children's developmental outcomes. This study examines the differences between mothers and fathers in self-assessments of overprotection of children, as well as differences in children's and parents' assessments of overprotection of children, and the representation of children's difficulties and strengths. At the same time, the contributions of sociodemographic variables and children's assessments of parental behavior (overprotection by parents) in explaining children's difficulties/strengths and resilience are considered. 91 male and 106 female students from the second to eighth grade of elementary school, as well as their parents, 117 mothers and 115 fathers, participated in the research. For the purposes of this research, The Resilience Scale for children (Chung et al., 2021) was adapted and validated. Data processing revealed that fathers show more overprotective behavior towards children compared to mothers. Furthermore, children rate the overprotective behavior of mothers and fathers higher than their parents, and state that they have more internalized difficulties compared to their parents' assessment of difficulties. However, parents report higher assessments of prosocial behavior in their children compared to children's self-assessments. Hierarchical analyzes of the results indicate a significant contribution of gender, age and children's assessments of fathers' overprotective behavior in explaining children's resilience. Boys report higher levels of resilience compared to girls, and older children who rate lower levels of fathers' overprotective behavior report lower levels of resilience. Furthermore, more internalized difficulties are reported by girls compared to boys. Finally, a significant contribution of gender and the child's assessment of overprotection by the father was found in the explanation of children's strengths. Namely, girls and boys who recognize more overprotective behavior in their fathers show more prosocial behavior. |
