Özet:

 The subject of the stepmotherhood is frequently featured in movies and television series in the media. Stepmothers, who are often portrayed as evil, cruel and ruthless, especially in television series, are presented as people who should be feared and whose inclusion in the family is undesirable. This study focuses on the issue of step-motherhood in the media and in everyday life, with the aim of determining whether the media stereotype of the cruel stepmother is reflected in real life. Within the scope of the study, the movie Anne Kanadı Mothers Wing, which supports the perception of a cruel stepmother, was evaluated by descriptive analysis, and the negative stepmother representation was revealed through this movie. Afterwards, 8 participants, who had lived with stepmothers were semi-structured interviewed about their experiences with step-motherhood. It is found that people who had favorable step mothering experiences had a love-based bond with their stepmothers. Those who had unpleasant experiences, on the other hand, contended that the medias portrayal of the wicked stepmother was a concrete reflection of reality. Furthermore, the study found that the most important factor in determining whether the stepmother experience was positive or negative was the character structure of the individuals.

 Medyadaki filmlerde ve dizilerde üvey annelik konusu sıkça işlenmektedir. Özellikle televizyon dizilerinde genellikle kötü, zalim ve acımasız gibi sıfatlarla yer alan üvey anneler; kendilerinden korkulması gereken ve aileye dahil olması arzulanmayan kişiler olarak sunulmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, medyadaki ve gündelik yaşamdaki üvey annelik sorununa odaklanılmış; medyadaki zalim üvey anne stereotipinin gerçek yaşamda karşılık bulup bulmadığının açığa çıkarılması amaçlamıştır. Çalışma kapsamında zalim üvey anne algısını destekleyen Anne Kanadı adlı film betimsel analizle incelenmiş, böylelikle bu film üzerinden olumsuz üvey anne temsili açığa çıkarılmıştır. Ardından üvey anneyle yaşamış kadın ve erkeklerden oluşan 8 katılımcıyla üvey annelik deneyimlerine dair yarı yapıalndırılmış mülakatlar yapılmıştır. Çalışmayla üvey annelik deneyimi olumlu olan bireylerin, üvey anneleriyle aralarında sevgiye dayalı bir bağ olduğu ortaya çıkmıştır. Deneyimi olumsuz olanların ise medyadaki kötü üvey anne imajının gerçekliğin somut bir yansıması olduğunu savunduğu tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca çalışmayla, üvey annelik deneyiminin olumlu ya da olumsuz olma sürecini belirleyen en önemli faktörün, kişilerin karakter yapısı olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
