Aggression Begets Aggression: Psychological Dating Aggression Perpetration in Young Adults From the Perspective of Intergenerational Transmission of Violence
(Springer, 2021) Toplu-Demirtaş, Ezgi; Hatipoğlu-Sümer, Zeynep
The aim of this study was threefold: (1) to evaluate the factorial validity of the Psychological Aggression (PA) subscale of the Conflict Tactics Scales–Adult Recall version (CTS2-CA), (2) to investigate the prevalence of and gender differences in psychological dating aggression perpetration (PDAP; restrictive engulfment, denigration, hostile withdrawal, and dominance/intimidation), and (3) to explore a proposed path from witnessing interparental psychological aggression perpetration to PDAP via acceptance of psychological aggression as a mediator and gender as a moderator of the mediation. For the first purpose, college students (N = 275) completed father to mother and mother to father forms of the PA subscale of the CTS2-CA. Exploratory factor analyses yielded a single-factor solution for the father to mother (55.86% of the variance) and mother to father (49.12% of the variance) forms. For the second and third purposes, a separate sample of 1015 dating college students (69.6% women) completed the Multidimensional Measure of Emotional Abuse and Abuse subscale of the Intimate Partner Violence Attitude Scale-Revised, along with the PA subscale of the CTS2-CA. Gender differences emerged in the prevalence of restrictive engulfment (85.8% for women and 80.3% for men) and hostile withdrawal (96.3% for women and 91.1% for men). Moderated-mediation analyses revealed that women college students who witnessed more mother to father psychological aggression perpetration tended to hold more accepting attitudes towards psychological aggression and, in turn, perpetrated more psychological aggression against their partners. Common assumptions that boys are more likely to imitate fathers, whereas girls are more likely to imitate mothers and women [but not men] commit verbal aggression may together explain our findings from the perspective of the intergenerational transmission of violence hypothesis. For future research, we suggest investigating the proposed model with the experience of psychological aggression from the parents to the child, which may provide further insights.

Children’s Perceptions of Tests: a Content Analysis
(Sicklerville: RU Publications, 2018) Bulgan, Gökçe
Anxiety that students experience during test taking negatively influences their academic achievement. Understanding how students perceive tests and how they feel during test taking could help in taking effective preventive measures. Hence, the current study focused on assessing children’s perceptions of tests using content analysis. The sample consisted of 1143 participants (566 females and 570 males) attending 3rd (n = 320), 4th (n = 420), 5th (n = 197), and 6th (n = 206) grade classes in three public schools in Istanbul, Turkey. The findings indicated that three main domains emerged from the data. The domains and the categories under each domain were as follows: evaluation (grades, success vs. failure, learning and development, and intelligence), emotions (excitement, fear and anxiety, happiness, curiosity, mixed feelings, and disappointment), and experiential process (answering questions, studying, difficulty, thinking, having fun, cheating vs. honesty, and silence). Understanding students’ experiences with testing early on in their education will give researchers and practitioners the chance to plan effective applications for treatment and prevention, which would influence students’ future achievement and experiences. The study findings could also help teachers and school counselors plan more effective teaching and counseling programs that take into account students’ anxiety levels during tests.

Çocuklarda Sınav Kaygısı Ölçeği'nin Türkçe Uyarlaması
(İlköğretim Online, 2017) Bulgan, Gökçe; Aydın, Utkun
The purpose of this study was to adapt the “Children’s Test Anxiet Scale (CTAS)” developed by Wren and Benson (2004) into Turkish. The original scale was in English and comprised of three factors including 30 items. Seven experts were involved in the adaptation process to translate the scale into Turkish and then back to English for providing evidence based on the consistency between the two forms. Following the translation process, a pilot study was conducted and the scale was given its final form. The Turkish form was administered to 1100 students who were attending to 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th grade classes in 3 public schools. Findings regarding the construct validity of the scale, which were obtained from the confirmatory analysis, supported the three-factor structure of the original scale. Subdimensions of the scale were Thoughts, Off-Task Behaviors, and Autonomic Reactions. Cronbach Alpha coefficients for the overall scale (???= .88) as well as the subdimensions of Thoughts (???= .82), Off-Task Behaviors (???= .72), and Autonomic Reactions (???= .75) were substantial in size. Regarding the discriminant validity analyses, there were no significant gender differences in students’ test anxiety while there were significant grade level differences. These results demonstrated that the Turkish version of the scale is a valid and reliable instrument, which may serve as useful in measuring elementary school students’ test anxiety levels. Directions for future research and practical implications for educational practice are discussed in terms of mathematics education.

Correction To: Validation of the Short Version (tls-15) of the Triangular Love Scale (tls-45) Across 37 Language
(Springer, 2023) Dinić, Bojana M.; Sorokowski, Piotr; Toplu Demirtaş, Ezgi; Frederick, David A.; Pisanski, Katarzyna; Kowal, Marta; Gjoneska, Biljana
Love is a phenomenon that occurs across the world and affects many aspects of human life, including the choice of, and process of bonding with, a romantic partner. Thus, developing a reliable and valid measure of love experiences is crucial. One of the most popular tools to quantify love is Sternberg’s 45-item Triangular Love Scale (TLS-45), which measures three love components: intimacy, passion, and commitment. However, our literature review reveals that most studies (64%) use a broad variety of shortened versions of the TLS-45. Here, aiming to achieve scientific consensus and improve the reliability, comparability, and generalizability of results across studies, we developed a short version of the scale—the TLS-15—comprised of 15 items with 5-point, rather than 9-point, response scales. In Study 1 (N = 7,332), we re-analyzed secondary data from a large-scale multinational study that validated the original TLS-45 to establish whether the scale could be truncated. In Study 2 (N = 307), we provided evidence for the three-factor structure of the TLS-15 and its reliability. Study 3 (N = 413) confirmed convergent validity and test–retest stability of the TLS-15. Study 4 (N = 60,311) presented a large-scale validation across 37 linguistic versions of the TLS-15 on a cross-cultural sample spanning every continent of the globe. The overall results provide support for the reliability, validity, and cross-cultural invariance of the TLS-15, which can be used as a measure of love components—either separately or jointly as a three-factor measure.
Elementary and Middle School Students’ Perceptions of Tests
(World Institute for Advanced Research and Science, 2017) Bulgan, Gökçe
Tests continue to have a large place in the educational system. Particularly in the Turkish educational system, students have to take national exams that identify their subsequent schooling and future job opportunities. Test anxiety, which is often experienced by students during test taking, is strongly related to students’ academic achievement (Crişan & Copaci, 2015; McDonald, 2001; Owens, Stevenson, Hadwin, & Norgate, 2012). Even though there has been a large body of international research on test anxiety (Bodas & Ollendick, 2005; Lowe & Ang, 2012) studies on this area in the Turkish literature has been limited mostly to high school and university student samples. Considering Turkish students’ low achievement in mathematics and science fields in international tests (Eğitim Reformu Girişimi, 2014), it is important to focus on understanding how students perceive tests and how they feel during test taking in order to take effective preventive measures. Therefore, the current study is focused on assessing children’s perceptions of tests through content analysis. The sample is consisted of 1143 participants (566 girls and 570 boys) attending 3rd (n = 320), 4th (n = 420), 5th (n = 197), and 6th (n = 206) grade classes in three public schools in Istanbul, Turkey. A brief demographic information form and two open-ended questions were administered to participants at the beginning of a class period. It took approximately 15-minutes for the students to complete the questions. Findings indicated that three main domains emerged from the data. The domains and the categories under each domain were as follows: evaluation (grades, success, learning and development, and intelligence), emotions (excitement, fear and anxiety, happiness, curiosity, mixed feelings, and disappointment), and experiential process (answering questions, studying, difficulty, thinking, having fun, cheating, and silence). Understanding students’ perceptions of and experiences in tests and testing early on in their studies will give researchers and practitioners the chance to plan effective applications for treatment and prevention, which would influence students’ future achievement and experiences in testing. The study findings could also help teachers and mental health professionals working with elementary and middle school students plan for more effective teaching and counseling programs that take into account students’ anxiety levels during tests.

Emotional Dependency and Dysfunctional Relationship Beliefs as Predictors of Married Turkish Individuals’ Relationship Satisfaction
(Cambridge University Press, 2016) Çetinkaya Yıldız, Evrim; Kemer, Gülşah; Bulgan, Gökçe
In this study, we examined married individuals’ relationship satisfaction in relation to their emotional dependency and dysfunctional relationship beliefs. Our participants consisted of 203 female and 181 male, a total of 384 married individuals from urban cities of Turkey. Controlling the effects of gender and length of marriage, we performed a hierarchical regression analysis. Results revealed that married Turkish individuals’ relationship satisfaction was significantly explained by their emotional dependency (sr2 = .300, p < .001), and perceptions of interpersonal rejection (sr2 = .075, p < .001) and unrealistic relationship expectations (sr2 = .028, p < .001). However, interpersonal misperception did not make a significant contribution to the participants’ relationship satisfaction (p > .05). When compared to perceptions of interpersonal rejection and unrealistic relationship expectations, emotional dependency had the largest role in explaining participants’ satisfaction with their marriages. We discuss the results in light of current literature as well as cultural relevance. We also provide implications for future research and mental health practices.
Emotional Dependency and Dysfunctional Relationship Beliefs as Predictors of Relationship Satisfaction
(International Association for Counselling, 2015) Çetinkaya Yıldız, Evrim; Kemer, Gülşah; Bulgan, Gökçe
For many years now social scientist study the factors effecting relationship satisfaction in order to understand how some of the love relationships continue over the years while others cannot. As stated by many philosophers love is, one way or another, very close to mental illness. Undeniably, love theories/typologies accept at least one feature or mechanism that might be described as ‘psychopathological’ and characterized by obsession, irrational idealization, emotional instability or emotional dependency (Tallis, 2005). Remember mania (Lee, 1973), limerence (Tennov, 1979) and infatuation (Sternberg, 1986). Romantic relationships either dating or marriage satisfy our deepest affiliative needs and are also the source of our emotional dependency. Likewise, dysfunctional relationship beliefs (i.e., interpersonal rejection, unrealistic relationship expectation, and interpersonal misperception) are found to be positively correlated to dyadic adjustment and marital satisfaction (i.e., Stackert & Bursik, 2003; Sullivan and Schwebel, 1995) and also negatively correlated to marital distress (i.e., Addis & Bernard, 2002). Cognitive Theory postulates that the endorsement of certain irrational expectations about what makes relationships functional and healthy strongly affects an individual’s ability to adjust within a relationship. In the present study, we aimed at examining the role of emotional dependency and dysfunctional relationship beliefs in predicting married Turkish individuals’ relationship quality. Therefore, our overarching research question was, when gender and marriage duration is controlled, what are the roles of emotional dependency and interpersonal cognitive distortions, namely, interpersonal rejection, unrealistic relationship expectations, and interpersonal misperceptions, in predicting married Turkish individuals’ relationship quality? Participants of the present study were 203 female (%52.9) and 181 male (47.1) married Turkish individuals with an age range of 21 to 73 years (M = 35.98, SD = 8.00). The average length of marriage among the participants was 10.09 years (SD =8.24). Approximately %86 of the participants had college degrees whereas %14 reported graduate degrees. We used convenient sampling method to recruit the participants from urban cities of Turkey. In order to collect data a demographic information form, Relationship Assessment Scale, Emotional Dependency Scale, and Interpersonal Cognitive Distortions Scale were administered. The hierarchical regression analysis results revealed that, after controlling the effects of gender and length of marriage, multiple correlation coefficient between the linear combination of emotional dependency, interpersonal rejection, unrealistic relationship expectation, and interpersonal misperception, and relationship quality elevated to .64. Model 2 was also significant [F(4,373) = 60.79, p<.001, R2 = .407] and four predictors together accounted for 39% of the variance in relationship quality. In this model, emotional dependency uniquely explained a big part of the variance (30%) in relationship quality with a significant positive contribution [t(373) = 13.73, p < .001, ß = .56]. Interpersonal rejection, on the other hand, explained 7.5% of the variance and had a significant negative contribution to the relationship quality [t(373) = -.5.49, p > .001, ß = -.23]. Similarly, unrealistic relationship expectations accounted for 2.8% of the variance and was negatively associated to participants’ relationship quality [t(373) = -3.29, p = .001, ß = -.14]. Nevertheless, the contribution of the interpersonal misperception to the relationship quality was not significant [t(373) = 1.34, p > .05].The results will be discussed in the light of current literature as well as cultural relevance, and implications for future research and practice will be provided.

Exploring Attitudes Toward "sugar Relationships" Across 87 Countries: a Global Perspective on Exchanges of Resources for Sex and Companionship
(Springer, 2023) Putz, Adam; Kowal, Marta; Bandi, Szabolcs A; Kocsor, Ferenc; Toplu-Demirtaş, Ezgi; Láng, András; Meskó, Norbert
The current study investigates attitudes toward one form of sex for resources: the so-called sugar relationships, which often involve exchanges of resources for sex and/or companionship. The present study examined associations among attitudes toward sugar relationships and relevant variables (e.g., sex, sociosexuality, gender inequality, parasitic exposure) in 69,924 participants across 87 countries. Two self-report measures of Acceptance of Sugar Relationships (ASR) developed for younger companion providers (ASR-YWMS) and older resource providers (ASR-OMWS) were translated into 37 languages. We tested cross-sex and cross-linguistic construct equivalence, cross-cultural invariance in sex differences, and the importance of the hypothetical predictors of ASR. Both measures showed adequate psychometric properties in all languages (except the Persian version of ASR-YWMS). Results partially supported our hypotheses and were consistent with previous theoretical considerations and empirical evidence on human mating. For example, at the individual level, sociosexual orientation, traditional gender roles, and pathogen prevalence were significant predictors of both ASR-YWMS and ASR-OMWS. At the country level, gender inequality and parasite stress positively predicted the ASR-YWMS. However, being a woman negatively predicted the ASR-OMWS, but positively predicted the ASR-YWMS. At country-level, ingroup favoritism and parasite stress positively predicted the ASR-OMWS. Furthermore, significant cross-subregional differences were found in the openness to sugar relationships (both ASR-YWMS and ASR-OMWS scores) across subregions. Finally, significant differences were found between ASR-YWMS and ASR-OMWS when compared in each subregion. The ASR-YWMS was significantly higher than the ASR-OMWS in all subregions, except for Northern Africa and Western Asia.
Family Type, Duration of Marriage, and Personality Traits in Relation To Marital Satisfaction
(International Association for Counselling, 2015) Bulgan, Gökçe; Kemer, Gülşah; Çetinkaya Yıldız, Evrim
The aim of the present study was to examine how marriage type, duration of marriage, and personality characteristics play a role in predicting married Turkish individuals’ marital satisfaction levels. The hypotheses are as follows: 1. Marriage type will significantly predict individuals’ marital satisfaction levels. More specifically, individuals from self-choice marriages will have significantly higher marital satisfaction levels than those from family-arranged marriages. 2. Duration of marriage will significantly predict individuals’ marital satisfaction levels. 3. Personality traits will significantly predict individuals’ marital satisfaction levels. While extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, and openness will be significantly and positively related to marital satisfaction, neuroticism will be significantly but negatively related. Participants were 288 (147 female and 141 male) married Turkish individuals living in urban cities in Turkey. In reaching the participants, convenience sampling method was utilized through word-of-mouth advertising. Participants’ demographic information was collected through a form that included questions regarding gender, age, education, number of children, duration of marriage, and marriage type (family-arranged vs. self-choice). In addition, the Big Five Inventory (John & Srivastava, 1999) was utilized to assess participants’ personality traits and the Marital Satisfaction Scale (Tezer, 1996) was used to assess the overall satisfaction of married individuals. Hierarchical regression analyses revealed significant results for the linear combination of marriage type and duration of marriage as well as personality traits in explaining individuals’ marital satisfaction levels. More specifically, duration of marriage, agreeableness, conscientiousness, and neuroticism were found to have individual significant contributions to Turkish individuals’ marital satisfaction levels.The current study relied on self-report measures, which comes with the risk that all reported data is based on participants’ perceptions. Not controlling social desirability, we acknowledge that participants’ reports may have involved under- or over-report of personality characteristics as well as marital satisfaction. Additionally, this study recruited a voluntary sample of participants from urban cities of Turkey. Results of this study have implications for mental health professionals working in the field of marriage and family counselling. In the multicultural world we live in, different cultures have different dynamics involved in marriage. Based on our findings, counsellors could take into consideration the clients’ intrapersonal factors especially their level of agreeableness, conscientiousness, and neuroticism in dealing with marital issues. In addition, our findings indicated a significant positive relationship between marital satisfaction and duration of marriage. Therefore, paying attention to the factors that have positively contributed to and brought the couple emotionally closer throughout their marriage while learning how the couple had dealt with the stressors in their earlier years of marriage could be helpful.

Gender Differences, Infidelity, Dyadic Trust, and Jealousy Among Married Turkish Individuals
(Springer, 2016) Çetinkaya Yıldız, Evrim; Kemer, Gülşah; Bulgan, Gökçe
In the present study, relationships among gender,emotional response to partner’s imagined infidelity (emotionaland sexual infidelity), and dyadic trust (low and high levels oftrust) were investigated as functions of married Turkish individuals’jealousy types (cognitive, emotional, and behavioral).Five hundred thirty seven (276 women and 261 men) marriedindividuals living in urban areas in Turkey participated in thestudy. Results of the Multivariate Analysis of Variance(MANOVA) revealed significant main effects for gender, infidelitytypes, and dyadic trust. Particularly, married Turkish men in this study were found to be more emotionally jealousthan women. Participants who responded to sexual infidelityas more upsetting had higher levels of emotional jealousywhen compared to the participants who found emotional infidelitymore upsetting. Moreover, participants with low dyadictrust for their partners were found to be high in their cognitivejealousy and behavioral jealousy reactions. Results arediscussed in details with implications for future research andsuggestions for mental health practitioners.

(Kastamonu Üniversitesi, 2020) Kılıç, Özge; Özen, Ayşegül; Acar, Melike
Bu çalışmanın amacı Sosyal Alan Kuramını (Turiel, 1983) kullanarak okul öncesi dönemdeki çocukların iki farklı oyun bağlamında otorite, kural ve kural ihlaline yönelik değerlendirme ve gerekçelerini incelemektir. Bu amaçla, 3 farklı sosyoekonomik düzeydeki okul öncesi kurumuna devam etmekte olan 5 yaş grubundan toplam 37 (21 kız, 16 oğlan) çocukla yarı yapılandırılmış klinik görüşmeler yapılmıştır. Çalışmanın sonuçları Sosyal Alan Kuramıyla yapılan diğer çalışmaların bulgularıyla tutarlı olup çocukların ahlaki alanla sosyal-geleneksel alanı farklı değerlendirdiklerini göstermiştir. Ahlaki alan içerisinde tanımladıkları basketbol oyununda rakibi geçmek için vurmak kuralını otoritenin kaldırmasını olumsuz değerlendirmişler ve kuralın yokluğunda bile vurmanın yanlışlığını “başkasına zarar vermeme” ilkesine dayandırarak gerekçelendirmişlerdir. Bulgular Sosyal Alan Kuramı bağlamında erken çocuklukta sosyal gelişim ve oyun ilişkisine değinilerek tartışılmıştır.
Increasing Mental Health Professionals’ Self-Esteem Through Mindfulness and Happiness
(2017) Bulgan, Gökçe
Aim: The mental health field requires practitioners to be psychologically resourceful in orderto carry out their roles and responsibilities. Similarly, individuals’ self-esteem levels influencehow resourceful they view themselves to be. Therefore, increasing mental healthprofessionals’ self-esteem would positively influence their work with their clients. The aim ofthis study was to examine the role of mindfulness and happiness in predicting mental healthprofessionals’ self-esteem. Methods: Data were collected from 146 counselors and 154psychologists, a total of 300 mental health professionals. Two hundred and thirteen of theparticipants were female and 87 were male. Turkish versions of the Mindful AwarenessAttention Scale (Brown & Ryan, 2003; Özyeşil, Arslan, Kesici, & Deniz, 2011), theSubjective Happiness Scale (Doğan & Totan, 2013; Lyubomirsky & Lepper, 1999), and theTwo Dimensional Self-Esteem: Self-Liking and Self-Competence Scale (Doğan, 2011;Tafarodi & Swan, 2001) were used to collect the data. The study was correlational. Pearsoncorrelation coefficients and multiple regression analysis were used to analyze the data.Results: The results indicated that there were significant positive correlations between mentalhealth professionals’ mindfulness and self-esteem scores (r = .42; p <.01) and their happinessand selfesteem scores (r = .47; p <.01). Results of multiple regression analyses indicated thatmindfulness and happiness accounted for 31.5% of variance in mental health professionals’self-esteem scores. In addition, mindfulness (ß = .33, p <.001) and happiness (ß = .39, p<.001) both uniquely contributed to self-esteem. Discussion: Considering that mindfulnessand happiness had a significant unique contribution to self-esteem, teaching simple yeteffective mindfulness based interventions to mental health professionals and strategies toincrease their happiness levels could be useful in increasing their self-esteem. As mentalhealth professionals feel more satisfied about their esteem needs, they would be moreeffective in their work with their clients.
Introduction To Mbsr and Mbct
(2019) Atalay, Zümra
Mindfulness is generally defined to include focusing one’s attention in a nonjudgmental or accepting way on the experience occurring in the present moment (Kabat-Zinn, 1994; Brown and Ryan, 2003; Linehan, 1993). It is an open and receptive awareness and attention, which may be reflected, in a more regular or sustained consciousness of ongoing events and experiences (Brown & Ryan, 2003). MBSR stands for mindfulness-based stress reduction program. It is an 8-week program developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn. MBSR uses a combination of mindfulness meditation, body awareness, and yoga to help people become more mindful.It was originally developed for patients in chronic pain, undergoing intensive treatments for cancer, AIDS and other serious illness, but has since expanded and been incorporated into the daily lives of ten of thousands of people whether they are dealing with the serious stress of illness or simply the day to day stress which at times seems like it can be too much to handle. MBCT stands for mindfulness-based cognitive therapy and developed by Zindel Segal, Mark Williams and John Teasdale, based on Jon Kabat-Zinn’s Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction program. It is an 8-week program specifically designed to help you deal with persistent unwanted mood states. MBCT has been tested in research and proven effective for depression, as well as anxiety and a wide range of other problems.

Predictors of Enhancing Human Physical Attractiveness: Data From 93 Countries
(Elsevier, 2022) Sorokowski, Piotr; Pisanski, Katarzyna; V. Valentova, Jaroslava; A.C.Varella, Marco; A. Frederick, David; Kowal, Marta; Toplu-Demirtaş, Ezgi
People across the world and throughout history have gone to great lengths to enhance their physical appearance. Evolutionary psychologists and ethologists have largely attempted to explain this phenomenon via mating preferences and strategies. Here, we test one of the most popular evolutionary hypotheses for beauty-enhancing behaviors, drawn from mating market and parasite stress perspectives, in a large cross-cultural sample. We also test hypotheses drawn from other influential and non-mutually exclusive theoretical frameworks, from biosocial role theory to a cultural media perspective. Survey data from 93,158 human participants across 93 countries provide evidence that behaviors such as applying makeup or using other cosmetics, hair grooming, clothing style, caring for body hygiene, and exercising or following a specific diet for the specific purpose of improving ones physical attractiveness, are universal. Indeed, 99% of participants reported spending >10 min a day performing beauty-enhancing behaviors. The results largely support evolutionary hypotheses: more time was spent enhancing beauty by women (almost 4 h a day, on average) than by men (3.6 h a day), by the youngest participants (and contrary to predictions, also the oldest), by those with a relatively more severe history of infectious diseases, and by participants currently dating compared to those in established relationships. The strongest predictor of attractiveness-enhancing behaviors was social media usage. Other predictors, in order of effect size, included adhering to traditional gender roles, residing in countries with less gender equality, considering oneself as highly attractive or, conversely, highly unattractive, TV watching time, higher socioeconomic status, right-wing political beliefs, a lower level of education, and personal individualistic attitudes. This study provides novel insight into universal beauty-enhancing behaviors by unifying evolutionary theory with several other complementary perspectives.

Sınıf Öğretmenlerinin Kapsayıcı-bütünleyici Eğitime Yönelik Değerlendirmelerinin Sosyal Alan Teorisiyle İncelenmesi: Türkiye-almanya Karşılaştırması
(Başkent Üniversitesi, 2020) Acar, Melike
Bu araştırma, ‘Herkes için Eğitim’ isimli kapsayıcı-bütünleyici eğitime yönelik çok yönlü bir projenin bir parçasıdır. Araştırmanın amacı Almanya ve Türkiye’deki toplam 43 sınıf öğretmeninin kapsayıcılığa yönelik değerlendirmeleri ve gerekçelerinin Sosyal Alan Teorisi (Turiel, 1983) kullanılarak karşılaştırılmasıdır. Klinik görüşmeler esnasında öğretmenlerden Otizm Spektrumu içinde olan bir öğrencinin tipik gelişen öğrenciler tarafından dışlandığı (akademik proje ve oyun) iki değişik durumu değerlendirmeleri istenmiştir. Öğretmenler, özel gereksinimli öğrencinin akademik projeden dışlanmasını oyundan dışlanmasından daha olumsuz bir durum olarak değerlendirmişlerdir. Ancak, Türk öğretmenler Alman öğretmenlere kıyasla toplumsal-geleneksel kavramlarla değerlendirmelerini gerekçelendirmişlerdir. Ayrıca, Türk öğretmenler gerekçelerinde tipik öğrencilerin oyun zamanındaki seçim hakkı ve kişisel alanlarını dikkate almamışlardır. Bulgular kapsayıcı-bütünleyici eğitim felsefesi ve Sosyal Alan Teorisi çerçevesinden tartışılmıştır.
