| Abstract: | This study aimed to investigate the effect of helicopter father attitude on the psychological resilience of adolescents. The study employed the relational screening method, a quantitative research approach. The study group consisted of 717 high school students. The researcher prepared a "Personal Information Form" to collect information from the participants, a "Perceived Helicopter Parent Scale" to assess their perceived attitude towards helicopter parenting, and a "Child and Adolescent Psychological Resilience Scale" to evaluate their levels of psychological resilience. The study employed independent sample t-tests, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), Pearson correlation analysis, and simple linear regression analysis to analyze the data. As a result of the analyses, a significant difference was found between the gender variable of adolescents and the ethical and moral life, basic trust, and life skills, as well as the academic-school life sub-dimensions of the helicopter father attitude. A significant difference was found between the economic level variable and the basic trust and life skills sub-dimension of helicopter father attitude. A significant difference was found between the father's education level and the helicopter father attitude, and all its sub-dimensions. A significant positive relationship was found between psychological resilience and the total score for the helicopter father, as well as the academic-school life and emotional and personal life sub-dimensions. As a result of regression analysis, it was determined that helicopter father attitude predicted psychological resilience and explained variance value (R[superscript 2] = 0.03) and regression coefficient ([beta] = 0.199). |
