Özet:

 This descriptive study was conducted with quantitative research methods to examine the gatekeeping behaviors of mothers of preschool children. The study group in this research consisted of 332 mothers with children aged 36-72 months,who attended preschool education in a primary school or an independent kindergarten in the central districts of Etimesgut, Mamak, Gölbaşı and Polatlı in Ankara and who volunteered to participate in the study. The General Information Form, which included questions to determine the general characteristics of the participants and children, was used as a data collection tool in the study, and the Maternal Gatekeeping Scale was used to determine the interaction behaviors of mothers with their children and spouses. After permission was obtained from the school administration, the mothers with children aged 36-72 months were contacted through teachers. To test whether there was a significant difference in the scales and sub-dimensions in which the parametric test assumptions were made according to age, employment, childs age and childs gender, the t-test was used in independent groups; the One-Way ANOVA test was used to determine whether there was a significant difference according to education and duration of marriage. As a result of the study, it was determined that the mothers age variable made a significant difference in overly attached motherhood, traditional motherhood; education in overly attached motherhood and the total score; employment in modern motherhood, overly attached motherhood; the duration of marriage in twice as much responsibility in motherhood, traditional motherhood, indirect motherhood and the total score; the age of the child in indirect motherhood.
