1887/29813 Sensitivity is defined as a mother's ability to perceive child signals, to interpret these signals correctly, and to respond to them promptly and appropriately (Ainsworth, Bell, & Stayton, 1974) The overall aim of this dissertation is to examine beliefs about sensitive parenting and actual sensitive behaviors in Turkish ethnic minority families and factors that are related to sensitive parenting in those families. The results in Chapter 2 show that sensitivity beliefs are highly similar across and within ethnic groups of mothers and youth care professionals in the Netherlands and Turkey. In Chapter 3, the results show that sensitivity beliefs and sensitive parenting behaviors were unrelated in Dutch and Turkish-Dutch mothers. The findings presented in Chapter 4 show that ethnic identity and socialization, and religious identity and socialization are not related to sensitive parenting behaviors of Turkish-Dutch mothers. More positive attitudes toward Islamic socialization were related to lower observed maternal sensitivity. The results presented in this thesis suggest that early childhood parenting interventions focused on enhancing sensitivity might be successful in minority families. Parenting interventions could be helpful to narrow the gap between beliefs and behaviors. Parental religious orientations and belief systems should be investigated more systematically to be able to understand parenting and its effects on child development in ethnic minority families |
