Introduction: Behavioral problems have many negative effects on the development of the child. In recent decades, experts have emphasized on the relationships of the child with the main caregiver, because they believe that the main caregiver's characteristics form the basis of the child's emotional, cognitive, and behavioral development. Accordingly, the aim of this study was to predicting the relationship between the mother's nostalgic preparation and behavioral problems of their preschool daughters.
Method: 150 mothers with preschool child were selected by random cluster sampling from preschool in Najafabad, Isfahan. They completed the Achenbach System of Empirically Based Assessment (ASEBA; Akshenbach, 1991) and the Nostalgic Preparation Scale (Hawlana and Holak, 2004).
Results: The results showed that relationship between the mathers nostalgic preparation with components of inner children's behavioral problems was -0/27, -0/26, -0/27, -/31 and -0/28. In addition the relationship between the mathers nostalgic preparation with components of outer children's behavioral problems was -0/25, -0/24, -0/26, -0/29 and -0/25. The results of the regression showed that personl nostalgic preparation 26 percent (p˂0/001, β= 2/42), Interpersonal nostalgic preparation 27 percent (p=0/669, β= 0/22), Cultural nostalgic preparation 31 percent (p˂0/001, β= -0/76), virtual nostalgic preparation 28 percent (p=0/146 , β= -0/71)and total score of nostalgic preparation 27 percent (p˂0/001, β= -7/58), were the best anticipant of the inner behavioral problems of the children. also personl nostalgic preparation 24 percent (p˂0/001, β= 4/63), Interpersonal nostalgic preparation 26 percent (p=0/861, β= 0/09), Cultural nostalgic preparation 29 percent (p˂0/001, β= -3/69), virtual nostalgic preparation 25 percent (p=0/02, β= 1/14) and total score of nostalgic preparation 25 percent (p˂0/001, β= 7/24), were the best anticipant of the outer behavioral problems of the children.
Conclusion: Since maternal nostalgia is closely related to the behavioral problems of their children, based on the results of this study, these findings can be used to develop therapeutic and educational interventions. Pre-school children can also benefit from these results in their programs. |
