Abstract:

 The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between gender perception and self-esteem with aging anxiety. The sample of the study consists of 410 people aged 18-65 who voluntarily participated in the study between May and September 2023. Socio-Demographic Information Form, Gender Perception Scale TCAS, Two-Dimensional Self-Esteem Scale RIBSS and Relational Aging Anxiety Scale REAS were applied to the participants. The data obtained was analyzed with the IBM SPSS  25 statistical program, and since the data showed a normal distribution, the relationship between the variables was examined with Pearson Correlation. Multiple linear regression analyzes were applied in the prediction analyzes between variables. The findings showed that there was a negative relationship between the self-esteem total score and the scores of relational aging anxiety, personal internalized aging anxiety and collective affinity towards the elderly. No relationship was detected between the participants gender perception and their personal internalized aging anxiety and relational aging anxiety scores. A weak positive relationship was found between gender perception and collective affinity scores towards the elderly. In addition, it was observed that gender perception and self-esteem scores as a whole predicted personal internalized aging anxiety, relational aging anxiety and collective affinity scores towards the elderly. The findings were discussed with relevant domestic and international studies.

 Bu çalışmanın amacı toplumsal cinsiyet algısı ve benlik saygısı ile yaşlanma kaygısı arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesidir. Çalışmanın örneklemini 2023 yılı mayıs-eylül tarihleri arasında gönüllü olarak çalışmaya katılan 18-65 yaş 410 kişi oluşturmaktadır. Katılımcılara SosyoDemografik Bilgi Formu, Toplumsal Cinsiyet Algısı Ölçeği TCAÖ, İki Boyutlu Benlik Saygısı Ölçeği İBBSÖ ve İlişkisel Yaşlanma Kaygısı Ölçeği İYKÖ uygulanmıştır. Elde edilen veriler IBM SPSS  25 istatistik programıyla analiz edilmiş olup veriler normal dağılım gösterdiği için değişkenler arası ilişkiye Pearson Korelasyonu ile bakılmıştır. Değişkenler arası yordayıcılık analizlerinde ise çoklu doğrusal regresyon analizleri uygulanmıştır. Elde edilen bulgularda benlik saygısı total puanı ile ilişkisel yaşlanma kaygısı, kişisel içselleştirilmiş yaşlanma kaygısı ve yaşlılara karşı kolektif yakınlık puanları arasında negatif yönlü ilişki olduğu görülmüştür. Katılımcıların toplumsal cinsiyet algısı ile kişisel içselleştirilmiş yaşlanma kaygısı ve ilişkisel yaşlanma kaygısı puanları arasında bir ilişki tespit edilmemiştir. Toplumsal cinsiyet algısıyla yaşlılara karşı kolektif yakınlık puanları arasında ise pozitif yönlü zayıf bir ilişki saptanmıştır. Ayrıca toplumsal cinsiyet algısı ve benlik saygısı puanlarının kişisel içselleştirilmiş yaşlanma kaygısı, ilişkisel yaşlanma kaygısı ve yaşlılara karşı kolektif yakınlık puanlarını bütün olarak yordadığı görülmüştür. Elde edilen bulgular ilgili yerli ve uluslararası çalışmalar ile tartışılmıştır.
