Özet:

 This study aimed to investigate the media mediation roles of parents in relation to parental variables gender, age, education status and number of children and child-related variables gender and birth order. The sample consisted of 596 parents of preschool children. The study employed a quantitative research method using survey model. The data were obtained through the application of the Early Childhood Media Mediation Scale and Demographic Information Form. The data analysis involved independent samples t-test and one-way analysis of variance ANOVA. The findings revealed a significant difference in media mediation roles across all variables. Young, highly educated mothers often adopt a restrictive-supportive role, whereas firstborn children, families that have fewer-children, and highly educated mothers exhibit an active-supportive role. Low-educated and multi-child mothers are more likely to exhibit a restrictive-limitative role, whereas mothers with fewer children are more likely to adopt an active-interpretive role. With regard to boys, the active-limitative role has prevaled. The findings have been discussed in light of the current literature.

 Bu çalışmanın amacı ebeveynlerin medya aracılık rollerini ebeveynlerle cinsiyet, yaş, eğitim durumu ve çocuk sayısı ve çocukla ilgili değişkenler cinsiyet ve doğum sırası açısından incelemektir. Örneklem çocukları 60-72 ay aralığında olan ve erken çocukluk eğitimi alan 596 ebeveynden oluşmaktadır. Çalışmada tarama modeli kullanılarak nicel araştırma yöntemi benimsenmiştir. Veriler, Erken Çocukluk Medya Aracılık Ölçeği ve Demografik Bilgi Formu uygulanarak elde edilmiştir. Veri analizinde bağımsız örneklem t-testi ve tek yönlü varyans analizi ANOVA kullanılmıştır. Bulgular, tüm değişkenler arasında medya aracılık rollerinde anlamlı bir fark olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Genç, yüksek eğitimli anneler sıklıkla kısıtlayıcı-destekleyici bir rol benimserken, ilk doğan çocuklar, daha az çocuğu olan aileler ve yüksek eğitimli anneler aktif-destekleyici bir rol sergilemektedir. Düşük eğitimli ve çok çocuklu annelerin kısıtlayıcı-sınırlayıcı bir rol sergileme olasılığı daha yüksekken, daha az çocuğu olan annelerin aktif-yorumlayıcı bir rol benimseme olasılığı daha yüksektir. Erkek çocuklarda aktif-sınırlayıcı rol baskındır. Bulgular güncel literatür ışığında tartışılmıştır.
