أنماط التواصل لدى الآباء ذوي الطفل الأول، و علاقتها بتوكيد الذات و اتجاه مركز الضبط لدى أبنائهم

Abstract EN

This study aimed at identifying the communication patterns among parents and their relationship to self-assertion and locus of control among their children during early adolescence in Al-Karak Governorate in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan.

In order to achieve the objectives of the study, the researcher selected a random sample of the schools in Al-Karak governorate.

The study sample consisted of (463) male and female students.

The researcher used the locus of control scale and developed two scales of communication patterns as well as self-assertion and verified their psychometric characteristics.

The study results showed that the communication patterns used by the parents were as follows: the adapted, the rational, the placate, the irrelevant and the blamer, and that the communication patterns used by the parents don't differ based on the level of self-assertion.

Most communication patterns used by the parents don't also differ as a result of the locus of control except for the placate and rational patterns used by the children through their internal locus of control, and they don't also differ as a result of the gender of the children in most communication patterns except for the blamer that is used more frequently with males.

Based on the study results, the researcher reached a number of conclusions including the necessity of paying more attention to the positive communication patterns used by parents as well as avoiding negative communication patterns.
