Abstract (2. Language):
In this study, effects of socio-economic status on parents’ attitudes for children's
rights were investigated. Socio-economic status of the family in this study was
limited with gender, age, education level of parents, family income and the place
where born and raised of parents. The study was organized in accordance with the
relational screening model. 642 mothers and 642 fathers, totaly 1284 parents took
place in the research sample. "Family Information Questionnaire" and "Parental
Attitude Scale for Children's Rights" were used as the data collection equipments in
this study. Parents' attitudes for children's rights were defined in two dimensions in
scale which were "Nurturance” and “Self-Determination”. According to the research
findings, it was seen that mothers had attitudes in favor of "Nurturance” while
fathers had attitudes in favor of “Self-Determination”. On the other hand, it was
determined that both mothers and fathers with a high education level and family
income status had attitudes in favor of "Nurturance”. Mothers and fathers born and
raised in the town, county and city center, had attitudes in favor of "Nurturance”
while parents born and raised in the village, had attitudes in favor of “SelfDetermination”. Although maternal age was not effective on attitudes for “SelfDetermination”, with increasing of mothers’ age significant difference was
determined for "Nurturance”. Fathers aged 31 to 50 had attitudes in favor of
"Nurturance”, while fathers under the age of 30 and over the age of 50 had attitudes
in favor of “Self-Determination”.
