İç-dış grup karşılaştırmalarının kolektif benlik saygısına etkisi
(ilge Kagan 2nd International Science Congress, Barcelona, 2019) Akar, Atanur; Akın, Sibel; Elmalı, Ferhan
Çalışmada ic-dış grup karşılaştırmasının kollektif benlik saygısı üzerindeki etkisini incelemek amaclanmıştır. Bu amacla, iki farklı üniversiteden (devlet ve vakıf) 239 Psikoloji ögrencisinden ic gruplarını (Psikologlar) düşük statüde algılanan (Çocuk Gelişimci ya da Psikolojik Danışman) veya yüksek statüde algılanan (Psikiyatrist) bir dış grupla karşılaştırması istenmiştir. Katılımcılar karşılaştırmalarını grupların statüsü ve yarışmacılık düzeyi üzerinden yapmış, ardından da kollektif benlik algısı ölcegini (Luhtanen ve Crocker, 1992) doldurmuştur. Bulgular, katılımcıların Psikolojik Danışmanları en yarışmacı grup olarak gördüklerini ve Psikiyatristleri ise en yüksek statülü grup olarak degerlendirdiklerini göstermiştir. Devlet üniversitesindeki katılımcıların kollektif benlik saygılarının daha düşük oldugu ve Psikiyatristler ile karşılaştırma yapmaları gerektirildiginde kollektif benlik saygılarının azaldıgı gözlenmiştir. Ayrıca, katılımcıların Psikologların daha yüksek statüde olmasını en fazla Psikolojik Danışmanlar ile karşılaştırma yapmaları gerektirildiginde meşru buldukları gözlenmiştir. Genel olarak bulgular, katılımcıların degerlendirmelerinin ic grup yanlılıgını yansıttıgını, devlet üniversitesindeki katılımcıların daha düşük kollektif benlik saygısı oldugunu ve yüksek statülü grupla karşılaştırma yapmanın kollektif benlik saygısını azalttıgını göstermiştir. The aim of the present study was to investigate the impact of ingorup-outgroup comparisons on collective self-esteem. With this respect, 239 Psychology undergraduates of two different universities (a public and a private university) were asked to compare their ingroup (Psychologists) to either a high status (Psychiatrists) or a low status (Psychological Constantans or Child Development Specialists) outgroup. Participants compared their ingroup and an outgroup in terms of their status and competitiveness and then they competed collective self esteem scale (CSE; Luhtanen ve Crocker, 1992) and rated how legal is the intergroup status differences. Findings revealed that participants rated Psychological Constantans as a more competitive group. Status difference was larger in the Psychiatrist condition, showing that participants rated Psychiatrists as a higher status group. More interestingly, participants in the public university reported lower CSE than the participants in the public university, and their CSE reduced in the Psychiatrists condition. Participants rated higher status of the ingroup as more legal in the Psychological Constantans condition. Overall findings indicated that participants ratings were shaped by ingroup favoritism and psychology students in the public university had lower CSE.
Bilişsel Nörobilim Zemininde Duygu Düzenleme
(2020) Kısacık, Esra
Duygu düzenleme son yıllarda giderek artan öneme sahip bir konudur. Duygu düzenleme tüm gelişimsel dönemlerde olduğu kadar yetişkin dönemde de klinik ve nörobilimsel bağlamda önemlidir. Ancak konuyla ilgili teorik tartışmaların ve deneysel çalışmaların çoklu disiplinlere yayılmış olması, duygu düzenleme kavramının karmaşık olmasına yol açıyor gibi görünse de çok disiplinli yaklaşım duygu düzenlemenin doğasının anlaşılması açısından son derece faydalıdır. Bu derlemenin amacı, duygu düzenlemenin nöral temellerini açıklayarak bu konuda yapılan psikofizyoloji ve nörogörüntüleme çalışmalarının bulgularını aktarmaktır. Ayrıca nörobilim zemininden hareketle duygu düzenleme kavramının uygulama alanına yansıması da aktarılacaktır.,Emotion regulation is an issue of increasing importance in recent years. Emotion regulation is important in clinical and neuroscientific context in adult development as well as in all developmental periods. However, although multidisciplinary theoretical discussions and empirical studies on the subject seem to lead to the complexity of the concept of emotion regulation, the multidisciplinary approach is very useful for understanding the nature of emotion regulation. The aim of this review is to explain the neural basis of emotion regulation and to present the findings of psychophysiology and neuroimaging studies. In addition, the reflection of the concept of emotion regulation to the field of application will be transferred from the background of neuroscience.
Paranormal beliefs of psychology students
(https://scholar.google.com.tr, 2017) Karayağız, Şaban; Aktan, Timuçin
The present study investigated individual differences in beliefs in the paranormal phenomena. Paranormal belief has been investigated by the researchers with high school and college students in various countries, USA, Finland, Latvia and South Africa. Such studies explored regarding its connection with magical thinking, sexual differences, fantasy proneness and narcissism. Turkish version of the PBS was translated by Sen and Yesilyurt (2014) with college students enrolled in several departments. A Turkish version of the Paranormal Belief Scale (PBS) was implemented to 235 Turkish Psychology Students at a university in Turkey. Statistical analysis of the study was carried out by SPSS 24. Participants were undergraduate psychology students enrolled at a mid-size university in central Anatolia. Most of the students defined themselves as believers in some sort of higher power. The main purpose of the study was to uncover important aspects of paranormal activities related to gender and academic levels. In addition, factor analysis was conducted in order to find if any dimensions exist. Results of the study indicated some differences among the students regarding gender and year in college. Beliefs in paranormal activity among academic levels showed that there was no evidence for a relationship with them. However, surprisingly, six subscales of the PBS emerged instead of eight as expected based on the findings.
Örgütsel yaşamda aleksitimi (duygular için söz yokluğu) ve iş performansı üzerindeki etkisi,Alexithymia (absence of words for emotions) in organizational life and its effect on job performance
(2022) Aydemir, Ceren; Akdoğan, A. Asuman
Duygular, insan davranışının bir parçası olması nedeniyle iş yaşamında önemli bir yere sahiptir. Yapılan işe ilişkin faaliyette bulunurken sahip olunan duygular hem bireyi hem de çalıştığı örgütü olumlu veya olumsuz olarak etkileyebilmektedir. Dolayısıyla örgütsel yaşamda duyguları anlayabilmek, ifade edebilmek, kontrol edebilmek, yönlendirebilmek ve yönetmek örgüt içi etkin iletişim ve başarılı bir performans için önem arz etmektedir. Bu araştırmanın amacı “duygular için söz yokluğu” anlamına gelen aleksitiminin iş performansı üzerindeki etkisini belirlemektir. Araştırma, kolayda örnekleme yöntemi ile belirlenen 134 kişi ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre, aleksitiminin iş performansı üzerinde anlamlı bir etkisi vardır. Ayrıca kavramlar arasında negatif yönlü bir ilişki mevcuttur.,Emotions have an important place in business life because they are a part of human behavior. Emotions, during the activity related to the job, can affect both the individual and the organization positively or negatively. Therefore, being able to understand, express, control, direct and manage emotions is important in organizational life for effective communication and successful performance within the organization. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of alexithymia, which means “absence of words for emotions”, on job performance. The research was carried out with 134 people determined by convenience sampling method. According to the research results, alexithymia has a significant effect on job performance. In addition, there is a negative relationship between the concepts.
Sexual Behaviour in Turkish Women: Kayseri Case
(Muğla Sıtkı Koçman Üniversitesi Tıp Dergisi, 2018) Karayağız, Şaban; Taş, Ertuğrul; Subaşı, Zeliha; Öner, Gökalp
This study examines sexual identity and orientation of Woman in Turkey. Sexuality is a subject that has been handled with clinical studies around the world for contemporary years. Research on sexuality is limited and mostly based on myths in Turkey. Therefore, this study is considered to provide useful sources on sexuality since it was conducted in Kayseri, a typical Anatolian Turkish city. Women’s sexuality has been dealt with in the context of the Sexofunctional Theory of François de Carufel, which focus on sexuality in a holistic approach. According to this theory, human sexuality is a structure that includes physical integrity, sexual functioning, sexual and social communication dimensions. 120 female patients agreed to participate in this study. Participants were selected through the purposive sampling technique. Semiconstructed questionnaires were utilized for data collection. The items on the questionnaire were prepared by researchers based on previous research papers. The results revealed that female sexuality starts with interactions during their adolescence and continues as a sexual partnership in adulthood. Participants were found to be open minded about sexual behaviors with their spouses. However, it has been seen that women should have more knowledge in topics such as sexual fun. Bu çalışmada, Türkiye'deki kadının cinsel kimliği ve yönelimi incelenmiştir. Cinsellik, son yıllarda dünya çapında klinik çalışmalarla daha fazlaca ele alınan bir konudur. Türkiye'de cinsellik üzerine yapılan araştırmalar sınırlı ve çoğunlukla cinsellik ile ilgili mitler üzerine yapılmıştır. Bu çalışma özgün bir Anadolu kenti olan Kayseri'de cinsellik konusunda yapılan bir çalışma olduğundan, çalışmanın ülkemizde yapılacak araştırmalar için yararlı bir kaynak olacağı düşünülmektedir. Kadın cinselliğini bütünsel bir yaklaşımla cinsellik üzerine odaklanan François de Carufel’ in Seksüel İşlevsellik Teorisi bağlamında ele almıştır. Bu teoriye; göre, insan cinselliği, fiziksel bütünlüğü, cinsel işlevselliği, cinsel ve sosyal iletişim boyutlarını içeren bir yapıdır. 120 kadın hasta bu çalışmaya katılmayı kabul etmiştir. Katılımcılar amaçlı örnekleme tekniği ile seçilmiştir. Veriler, yarı yapılandırılmış anketler ile toplanmıştır. Anket maddeleri, daha önce yapılan araştırmalardan yararlanılarak araştırmacılar tarafından hazırlanmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlar, kadın cinselliğinin ergenlik dönemindeki etkileşimlerle başladığını ve yetişkinlikte cinsel ortaklık olarak devam ettiğini ortaya koymuştur. Katılımcıların eşleri ile cinsel davranışları hakkında açık fikirli oldukları elde edilmiştir. Öte yandan, kadınların cinsel işlevsellik, otoerotizm, toplumsal normların cinsellik üzerindeki etkisi gibi konularda daha fazla bilgiye sahip olmaları gerektiği görülmüştür.

The Development Study of Nicotine Stroop Test on a Turkish Sample
(Archives of Neuropsychiatry, 2020) Kısacık, Esra; Yaşar, Yağmur
Introduction: The purpose of this study is to engender a language and culture specific Smoking Stroop Test (SST) in Turkish. Methods: The study is performed in three stages (N=334) with smokers and non-smokers of three age groups. On the third stage, all participants have filled STT and were administered Beck Depression Inventory. Besides, the smokers were applied Fagerstörm Test for Nicotine Dependence, and the elder participants were also assessed with Standardized Mini Mental State Examination Test. Results: In the first stage, a list comprising a total of 92 words related and not related with smoking have been formed and in the second stage the participants were asked to evaluate the relatedness of these words with cigarette and smoking. As a result of this evaluation 9 related and 9 unrelated words were selected for SST. In the third stage SST was administered to a sample of 70 participants. A 3×2×2 repeated measures for last factor ANOVA was used to determine whether the variance in response times depends on age, cigarette use and word type. The results revealed that there was no significant difference among the non-smoker participants’ response times towards related or unrelated words in all age groups. On the other hand, the smokers in young and adult age groups displayed longer response times towards cigarette related words. Internal consistency and test-retest reliability analysis revealed that the test is reliable. Discussion: SST is a valid, reliable and original tool that can be used in studies in Turkey.,Amaç: Bu araştırmada, Türkiye’de kullanılabilirliği olan, dile ve kültüre özgü, Türkçe bir Sigara İçenler İçin Stroop Testi’nin (SİİST) oluşturulması amaçlamıştır. Yöntem: Çalışma, her bir aşamada üç farklı yaş grubundan sigara içen ve içmeyen katılımcıların bulunduğu üç aşamadan oluşmaktadır ve toplamda 334 kişinin katılımı ile yapılmıştır. Üçüncü aşamada tüm katılımcılara SİİST ve Beck Depresyon Envanteri uygulamıştır. Ayrıca, sigara kullanan katılımcılara Fagerstörm Nikotin Bağımlılığı Testi; yaşlı gruptaki katılımcılara ise Standardize Mini Mental Test uygulanmıştır. Bulgular: Çalışmanın ilk aşamasında, sigara ile ilişkili ve ilişkisiz kelimelerden oluşan toplam 92 maddelik bir liste oluşturulmuş, ikinci aşamada katılımcıların bu kelimelerin sigara ile ilişkililiğini değerlendirmeleri istenmiştir. Değerlendirmeler sonucunda seçilen sigara ile ilişkili 9, sigara ile ilişkisiz 9 kelime ile SİİST oluşturulmuştur. Üçüncü aşamada, test 70 kişiden oluşan bir örnekleme uygulanmıştır. Tepki sürelerinin yaş, sigara kullanımı ve kelime türüne göre farklılaşıp farklılaşmadığını belirlemek için 3×2×2 son faktörde tekrar ölçümlü varyans analizi yapılmıştır. Sonuçlar, tüm yaş gruplarında sigara içmeyen katılımcıların ilişkili ve ilişkisiz kelimelere verdikleri tepkilerin süresi arasında anlamlı bir fark bulunmadığını; öte yandan genç ve yetişkin yaş gruplarında sigara içen katılımcıların sigara ile ilişkili kelimelere daha uzun sürede tepkide bulunduklarını göstermiştir. İç tutarlılık ve test-tekrar test analizleri testin kabul edilebilir düzeyde güvenilir olduğunu göstermiştir. Sonuç: SİİST Türkiye örneklemindeki araştırmalarda kullanılabilecek, geçerli ve güvenilir özgün bir ölçüm aracıdır.
Alexithymia levels in patients with unipolar and bipolar depression and the effect of alexithymia on both severity of depression symptoms and quality of life
(Cumhuriyet Univ Tip Fak Psikiyatri Anabilim Dali, 2016) Karayagiz, Saban; Basturk, Mustafa
Objective: Aims of this study are to compare the alexithymia scores of patients with unipolar depression (UD), bipolar affective disorder depressive episode (BAD-D) and healthy controls, to explore the effects of alexithymia scores on both severity of depression symptoms and quality of life. Methods: Case group of the study is consisted of one hundred and eighteen UD diagnosed, forty eight BAD-depression diagnosed patients, based on DSM-IV-TR criteria. Control group of the study is consisted of ninety six people who had no history of psychiatric disease. Overall, 262 people had involved in the study. Sociodemographic and Clinical Data Form, Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HRDS), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20) and SF-36 Quality of Life Scale are used for acquiring information of the patients. Results: Mean of age, gender, marital status, place for living, level of income of UD, BAD-D and control groups were similar. Statistically significant differences were observed in between UD, BAD-D and control groups, in terms of HRDS, TAS-20 and SF-36 scores. Mean group scores of UD and BAD-D group were higher than controls, in terms of all scales. However, mean points of UD and BAD-D groups were similar in terms of four scales. Patients with UD and BAD-D had positive relationship with TAS-20, BRDS and BDI; negative relationship between SF-36, significantly. In conclusion, it is found that alexithymia scores of UD and BAD-D groups were higher; quality of life scores were lower than controls. It is also observed that patients with higher alexithymia scores have more severe depressive symptoms and having a less sense of quality of life. Although our findings indicate that presense of alexithymia is important in depressive disorders, however no difference were found between alexithymia scores in patients with UD and BAD-D. Discussion: Alexithymia scores of all groups had positively related with depression, negatively related with quality of life. Our findings showed that, alexithymia is an important factor to the diagnosis of depressive disorders, however alexithymia is not a marker to make differential diagnosis of BAD-D and UD.
Clinical Case Study on Transsexual Identity to Lesbian Sexual Orientation Transition and the Future of the Lesbian Relationship
(Duzce Univ, Fac Medicine, 2019) Tas, Ertugrul; Batik, Meryem Vural; Ozturk, Onur
In this study, a case was analyzed that allows to question gender identity, sexual orientation and sexuality. Sexual orientation and gender identity were dealt with during the therapy session with the client who applied to the clinic due to relational and sexual problems with her virgin lesbian partner and identified herself as a lesbian. The client understood the discrepancy of her gender identity and gender identity was restructured. Accordingly, the relationship psychically defined as a lesbian relationship has become psychically transsexual (heterosexual) and has led to the question of the future of the lesbian relationship. In this case analysis, sexual position taking, gender identity, sexual orientation and sexual behavior were examined through lesbian and transsexual relations.
An Experimental Approach to Word Order in Turkish Sign Language
(Ahmet Yesevi Univ, 2020) Arik, Engin
The present study offers an experimental linguistic perspective to investigate word order in sign languages, focusing particularly on word order in Turkish Sign Language (Turk Isaret Dili-TID), one of the oldest, yet relatively understudied, sign languages. Two experiments were conducted to investigate TID signers' acceptability judgments of various orders of linguistic forms in a sentence. Experiment 1 consisted of 26 intransitive sentences with a 2x2 (SV vs. VS; Human vs. Animal) within-subjects design whereas Experiment 2 consisted of 28 transitive sentences with a 3x2 (Subject order: First vs. Middle vs. Last; Object order: Object-before-Verb vs. Object-after-Verb) within-subjects design. Both experiments asked native TID signers (n=8 and n=6, respectively) to rate sentences using 5-point Likert scales. Results from Experiment 1 showed that there was a significant main effect of Sign Order, indicating that participants gave significantly higher ratings to SV order over VS order. There was no main effect of Subject Type but an interaction between Sign Order and Subject Type. Results from Experiment 2 showed a significant main effect of object-verb order indicating that participants' ratings for the Object-before-Verb order were significantly higher than those for the Verb-before-Object order. In Experiment 2, there was no significant main effect of subject order or interaction. These findings suggested that TID has a preference for SV and OV over other possible orders.
Management of Women with Vaginismus-related Infertility Through Assisted Reproductive Techniques
(Galenos Publ House, 2021) Yurci, Arzu; Karayagiz, Saban
Objective: To investigate reproductive outcomes of patients with infertility due to severe vaginismus undergoing in vitro fertilisation and embryo transfer (IVF-ET). Methods: Twenty-nine patients were selected among patients who presented with complaints of vaginismus-related infertility. The diagnosis and severity of vaginismus were assessed according to the Lamont-Pacik system. Five women with milder forms of vaginismus were treated with other options. Of the remaining 24 patients with severe vaginismus, 20 had Lamont grade 3 and four with Lamont grade 4. Likewise, 24 patients who were diagnosed with unexplained infertility were selected as the control group. Results: Of the 24 patients, 15 had first attempt, 8 had second and 1 had fourth attempt. Folliculometry was performed with abdominal ultrasonography in 21 women with normal body mass index. Folliculometry and endometrial evaluation were performed in three overweight cases with transvaginal ultrasonography under sedation. Single ET was performed in 27 cycles, and two ETs were performed in the others. Beta human chorionic gonadotropin positivity was detected in 20 of the 39 cycles. Similarly, in 20 patients, while clinical pregnancy was detected (20 of 39 cycles, 51.2%), the number of cycles with term and live births were 16 (16 of 39 cycles, 41.0%). While clinical pregnancy was detected in 25 of 35 cycles in the control group (71.4%), live birth was achieved in 22 cycles (62.8%). Compared with the vaginismus group, clinical pregnancy rate (20 vs 25, p<0.09) and live birth rate (LBR) (16 vs 22, p<0.06) were comparable. Conclusion: Both clinical pregnancy and LBRs of women with infertility due to severe vaginismus undergoing IVF-ET are similar to women with unexplained infertility.
The Meanings of the Concepts of Creativity and Being Creative in Everyday Language
(Istanbul Univ, Fac Letters, Dept Psychology, 2020) Arik, Engin; Arik, Beril T.
Creative and creativity as abstract concepts are hard to define and they have different meanings in scientific studies and everyday language. This study investigated the meanings of the Turkish terms yaratici (creative) and yaraticilik (creativity) in everyday language by using the data from social media. The study aims to reveal the meanings of the terms creative and creativity by using Big Data methods, corpus linguistic approaches, and prototype theories. The Turkish data were collected from Twitter between February 2018 and March 2019 using Rich Site Summary (RSS) and Application Programming Interface (API) without duplicates, retweets, or replies. In this way, 40,382 tweets containing yaratici and 13,007 tweets containing yaraticilik were obtained. The yaratici data consisted of 124,028 types and 828,661 tokens whereas the yaraticilik data consisted of 57,448 types and 268,886 tokens. With the help of Antconc and Lancbox software and statistical analyses such as frequency, log frequency, MI, DeltaP and G, the results showed that the meanings of yaratici and yaraticilik in everday Turkish and in dictionaries and scientific texts did not overlap. For example, the words such as intelligence, thinking, thoughts, and imagination could all be seen in the dictionaries and significantly in the data. But the word kreatif, which is used in the dictionary entries for yaratici, was not significantly used in the data. Instead, #creativity was used significantly frequently for yaraticilik in the data. Moreover, phrases such as using various solutions and divergent thinking could be both seen in the scientific definitions and significantly frequently in the data. But phrases such as solving problems and motivation, which are used in the scientific definitions, were used rarely in the data. Therefore, when updated, the dictionaries shoud benefit from the uses of these terms in everyday life, the scientific texts should underline to what extent the definitions differ from everyday language, and research should be conducted by taking into account these differences.
Exploring the attention process differentiation of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptomatic adults using artificial intelligence on electroencephalography (EEG) signals
(Tubitak Scientific & Technological Research Council Turkey, 2021) Guney, Gokhan; Kisacik, Esra; Kalaycioglu, Canan; Saygili, Gorkem
Attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) onset in childhood and its symptoms can last up till adulthood. Recently, electroencephalography (EEG) has emerged as a tool to investigate the neurophysiological connection of ADHD and the brain. In this study, we investigated the differentiation of attention process of healthy subjects with or without ADHD symptoms under visual continuous performance test (VCPT). In our experiments, artificial neural network (ANN) algorithm achieved 98.4% classification accuracy with 0.98 sensitivity when P2 event related potential (ERP) was used. Additionally, our experimental results showed that fronto-central channels were the most contributing. Overall, we conclude that the attention process of adults with or without ADHD symptoms become a key feature to separate individuals especially in fronto-central regions under VCPT condition. In addition, using P2 ERP component under VCPT task can be a highly accurate approach to investigate EEG signal differentiation on ADHD-symptomatic adults.

English in Turkey: A sociolinguistic profile
(Wiley, 2020) Arik, Beril T.
It has been repeatedly noted in the literature that most world Englishes research focuses on Outer Circle countries, while studies on Expanding Circle countries, especially those in South America, Europe, and the Middle East, have been few and far between. Therefore, the main objective of this paper is to provide a sociolinguistic profile of English in Turkey, thereby contributing to the growing literature on Expanding Circle countries. In this sociolinguistic profile, following a brief description of the country, I present the users and uses of English in the Turkish context, as well as discuss the attitudes of Turkish language learners towards English.
An Investigation of Moral Foundations Theory in Turkey Using Different Measures
(Springer, 2019) Yalcindag, Bilge; Ozkan, Turker; Cesur, Sevim; Yilmaz, Onurcan; Tepe, Beyza; Piyale, Zeynep Ecem; Biten, Ali Furkan
Claims of universality for Moral Foundations Theory (MFT) require extensive cross-cultural validation. The present study aims to (1) develop Turkish versions of three instruments used to research MFT (MFQ, MFQL, MSQ); (2) assess the psychometric properties of the Turkish instruments; (3) test the assumptions of the theory against findings from the instruments in Turkish culture. Three independently translated versions of the MFQ were administered to three samples totaling 1432 respondents. Results were consistent across samples. Internal reliability was satisfactory. CFA indicated a best fit for a 5-factor solution despite low fit indices and high error coefficients. EFA yielded a 3-factor solution, which did not replicate the 2-factor individualizing and binding factors found in U.S. samples. CFA and EFA with the MSQ produced 2-factor solutions which also did not align with the individualizing-binding dichotomy. Meaningful relations between the moral foundations and scores on political orientation and religiosity supported the validity of the measures in Turkish culture.
Examining children's questions and parents' responses about COVID-19 pandemic in Turkey
(Springer, 2024) Unlutabak, Burcu; Velioglu, Ilayda
COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on both adults' and children's everyday lives. Conversations about biological processes such as viruses, illness, and health have started to occur more frequently in daily interactions. Although there are many guidelines for parents about how to talk to their children about the coronavirus, only a few studies have examined what children are curious about the coronavirus and how they make sense of the changes in their everyday lives. This study addresses this need by examining children's questions and parents' responses about the COVID-19 Pandemic in the Turkish sociocultural context. Using an online survey, we asked 184 parents of 3- to 12-year-olds to report their children's questions about coronavirus and their answers to these questions. We analyzed children's questions and parents' responses using qualitative and quantitative analyses (Menendez et al., 2021). Children's questions were mainly about the nature of the virus (34%), followed by lifestyle changes (20%). Older children were more likely to ask about school/work and less likely to ask about lifestyle changes than younger children. Parents responded to children's questions by providing realistic explanations (48%) and reassurance (20%). Only 18% of children's questions were explanation-seeking why and how questions. Parents were more likely to provide explanations if children's questions were explanation-seeking. Family activities such as playing games and cooking were the most common coping strategies reported by parents (69.2%). The findings have important implications for children's learning about the coronavirus and how adults can support children's learning and help them develop coping strategies in different sociocultural contexts.
Probable role of listening therapy in the management of ADHD symptoms: Three case studies
(Springer, 2021) Dursun, Pınar; Fidan, Uğur; Karayağız, Şaban
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a common disorder that affects individuals throughout life, although generally diagnosed during the school years. Multimodal perspectives are recommended during treatment. A variety of non-pharmacological interventions, including psychoeducational approaches, are widely available particularly for clients who refuse to use or are resistant to medication, although the real effect sizes remain uncertain. The effect of music therapy as a complement to ADHD treatment has emerged especially in the last 20 years with neuroimaging studies. Recent research has indicated that music experience influences reward, emotion, motivation and pleasure, stress and the immune system, and social relationships, as well as cognitive skills. Listening to filtered music also influences auditory functions. Sound or listening therapy originated from the Tomatis audio-psycho-phonological (APP) method aims to train the vestibular system auditory functions that are assumed to be connected with both top-down (higher brain structures) and bottom-up (peripheral to central) brain functioning and the peripheral nervous system. In this case report, we discuss the probable impact of listening or sound therapy in the management of ADHD symptoms, particularly in terms of sustained attention, reaction time, and inhibitory control (impulsivity/hyperactivity) measured by a distracted continuous performance test (CPT) and learning and behavioral problems assessed by rating scales. Three adolescents (aged 14, 15, and 17 years) in Turkey with ADHD-combined presentation diagnosed by a psychiatrist were given 30 sessions (totaling 60 h) of the sound program with an auditory stimulation device developed by an APP method. The participants were assessed before and after the program and their scores compared using the CPT (MOXO d-CPT), Conners Rating Scales for Parents (CPRS) and Teachers (CTRS), and Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS) based on the ages of the participants, in addition to the listening checklist. Although the differences in the scores did not represent any statistical significance, the findings could still be noteworthy indicators of future prospective studies for the exact role of these non-pharmacological supportive interventions.
Parental input during book reading and toddlers' elicited and spontaneous communicative interactions
(Elsevier Science Inc, 2022) Unlutabak, Burcu; Aktan-Erciyes, Asli; Yilmaz, Duygu; Kandemir, Songuel; Goksun, Tilbe
This study examined the relation between characteristics of parental input, particularly focusing on questions and pointing gestures directed to toddlers during book reading, and toddlers' elicited and spontaneous communicative interactions. A total of 30 Turkish speaking parents and their toddlers (18 girls, Mage = 18.79 SDage = 1.55) were observed during shared book reading. The communicative interactions were coded for parents' questions and pointing, and toddlers' elicited and spontaneous speech and pointing.
