Abstract:
This study was carried out to determine the effect of family relationships on behavioral problems seen in children in the 7-12 age group. Within the scope of the research, the effects of family dynamics, harmony and conflict levels between parents, on children were investigated socioeconomically and demographically, and in this context, the research results were interpreted from a multidisciplinary perspective. The main purpose of the study is to examine the impact of healthy family functions on children's behavioral and emotional development and possible risk assessments. Research, St. On behalf of Clements University, Prof. Dr. Derya Berrak and Prof. Dr. It was carried out by me, under the chairmanship of Kürşat Şahin Yıldırımer, on a file of 172 people, aged 7-12, attending public and private schools in Istanbul. Family Assessment Scale (FDS), Achenbach Child Behavior List (ACDL) were used as data collection tools in the study, and a Demographic Information Collection Form was used to collect social-demographic data. The data obtained were analyzed using methods such as descriptive statistics, SPSS (26.0) and regression analysis and interpreted from a multidisciplinary perspective. The results of the study showed that there was a significant decrease in behavioral problems when functions were performed healthily in the family environment. In particular, factors such as strong and effective communication, problem solving, clear role status and emotional support in the family appear to strengthen children's social and emotional adaptation. On the other hand, it has been observed that conflicts within the family, low harmony between parents and disruptions in functionality increase behavioral problems in children. In addition, it has been determined that socio-economic status, education level and the environment in which children live have significant effects on family dissolution and child behavior problems. These academic results contribute to family investment, child psychology and educational content. In this context, the importance of studies on disseminating educational programs for children and improving communication within the family is clearly seen
