Hot Topics: Session 3 Family Cohesion as a Mechanism Perpetuates Schemas and Affects the Perception of Social Support in the Relationship Between Parental Conflict and Depression Level by Gizem Kavalci |
Abstract: Disrupted family cohesion and early maladaptive schemas are thought to be a risk factor in the relationship between parental conflict and depression, and perceived social support is thought to be a protective factor. In this study, it was aimed to test the mediating role of family cohesion, early maladaptive schemas and perceived social support in the relationship between the depression symptom level of individuals and their parents' perceptions of general conflict patterns. In the study conducted with 299 participants between the ages of 18-65, the results of the analysis indicate that as the participants' perception of the conflict style between their parents as positive, withdrawn or submissive increases, this perception helps to maintain a balanced cohesion with the family. The aforementioned dyadic relationship also leads to the weakening of high standards, others-directedness and impaired autonomy schema domains and predicts the increase in perceived social support. The results of the analysis in which a similar mechanism was conducted with the perception of negative parental conflict style, on the other hand, showed that very low level of family unity and increased disconnection from the family strengthened high standards, impaired autonomy and disconnection schemas. Theoretical and clinical implications are discussed. About the Presenter: Gizem Kavalci I am Gizem KAVALCI. I graduated from department of psychology in Çankaya University at 2016.
