Aim:
The research was conducted to evaluate the emotional abuse experienced by Turkish and immigrant children.
Method:
The sample of the descriptive study consisted of 300 children (150 Turkish and 150 Syrian nationals). The data of the study were collected by the face-to-face interview method using the Data Collection Form and Emotional Abuse Questionnaire. SPSS 24.0 statistical program was used to evaluate the data. Significance was assessed at p < 0.05 level.
Results:
In the comparison of the sociodemographic characteristics of Syrian and Turkish students according to the groups, significant differences were found in the variables of age and number of siblings. It was seen that the total mean score of the Emotional Abuse Scale was 44.95 ± 20.56 in Syrian students and 35.37 ± 20.13 in Turkish students. Significant differences were determined between the responses of Syrian and Turkish students to the Emotional Abuse Scale items. The comparison of the mean scores of the emotional abuse scale and subdimensions of Syrian and Turkish students revealed a statistically significant difference between them.
Conclusion:
In the study, it was determined that both Turkish and Syrian students experienced emotional abuse. However, it was determined that Syrian students experienced more emotional abuse. This situation was seen as a reflection of the migration that immigrants experienced due to war.

This style is strict and controlling, with little room for open dialogue. Authoritarian parents demand obedience and often enforce rules with minimal warmth. Children raised this way may lack social skills and initiative, usually comparing themselves to others unfavorably.
