Abstract
Each society has its own
culture-specific values. These culture-specific values can determine the attitudes
and behaviors of parents towards child rearing. It requires an in-depth
examination within the cultural context to understand whether parents maintain
their cultural identities while raising and rearing their children and, for
what reasons and which cultural codes they adopt when communicating with their
children. The study population consists of mothers of Turkish origin living in
Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands for at least 10 years and 14 mothers
determined by the snowball method are included in the study. In this study,
which was designed by qualitative research method, in-depth interviews were
conducted with mothers in order to examine mother's views, based on the themes
“disciplinary methods”, “controlling”, and “effects specific to Dutch culture”.
In conclusion, it is concluded that the mothers in the study population adopt
different behavior styles while raising children in another culture. In a
society that attaches importance to individual values and autonomy in raising
children, mothers do not disregard traditional collectivist values, but
sometimes face some difficulties. Related findings were discussed in the light
of literature and depending on these findings, some recommendations is proposed
for mothers and researchers.
