Article Çocukluk Çağında Obezitenin Öncülleri Hakkında Bir Derleme(Türk Psikologlar Derneği, 2021) Yasin, Hatice Şule; Müren, Hatice MelisOverweight/obesity in childhood has become a worldwide health problem. World Health Organization (2018) reported that the prevalence of obesity in children worldwide tripled between 1975 and 2016 with more than 41 million children before age 5 were overweight/obese in 2016. Given that obesity has been associated with a wide range of physiological and psychological problems and its excessive increase in recent years, it is highly important to identify the precursors of obesity and develop intervention programs targeting them. The present review compiles national and international research regarding child feeding behaviors, parenting styles, maternal perceptions and child temperament as important precursors of obesity in early childhood and aims to facilitate further research and obesity intervention programs in Turkey by giving a thorough summary of literature about the subject. Results in the literature suggested that parental restrictive feeding, authoritarian parenting style, inaccurate maternal perceptions of child weight and high negative affectivity as a temperamental trait in children may all be potential risk factors for childhood obesity. The need for intervention programs targeting parenting behaviors and parental awareness of overweight is emphasized. Further longitudinal studies are required to uncover the precursors of obesity and develop appropriate intervention programs.Article Citation - WoS: 20Citation - Scopus: 20Parenting Measurement, Normativeness, and Associations With Child Outcomes: Comparing Evidence From Four Non-Western Cultures(Wiley, 2023) Gao, Wen; Ren, Huiguang; Porter, Chris L.; Nelson, David A.; Cheah, Charissa S. L.; Müren, Hatice Melis; Hart, Craig H.This study compared parenting across four non-Western cultures to test cross-cultural commonality and specificity principles in three aspects: measurement properties, parenting normativeness, and their associations with child outcomes. Both mothers and fathers (N = 1509 dyads) with preschool-aged children (M = 5.00 years; 48% girls) from urban areas of four countries (Malaysia, N = 372; China, N = 441; Turkey, N = 402; and Japan, N = 294) reported on four parenting constructs (authoritative, authoritarian, group harmony socialization, and intrusive control) and their sub-dimensions using modified culturally relevant measures. Teachers reported on children's internalizing, externalizing, and prosocial behaviors. The commonality principle was supported by two sets of findings: (1) full measurement invariance was established for most parenting constructs and sub-dimensions, except that intrusive control only reached partial scalar invariance, and (2) no variations were found in associations between parenting and any child outcomes across cultures or parent gender at the construct level for all four parenting constructs and at the sub-dimensional level for authoritarian and intrusive control sub-dimensions. The specificity principle was supported by the other two sets of findings: (1) cross-cultural differences in parenting normativeness did not follow the pattern of economic development but yielded culture-specific patterns, and (2) at the sub-dimensional level, the authoritative parenting and group harmony socialization sub-dimensions were differently associated with child outcomes across cultures and/or parent gender. The findings suggested that examining specific dimensions rather than broad parenting constructs is necessary to reflect cultural specificities and nuances. Our study provided a culturally-invariant instrument and a three-step guide for future parenting research to examine cross-cultural commonalities/specificities. Research HighlightsThis is the first study to use an instrument with measurement invariance across multiple non-Western cultures to examine the commonality and specificity principles in parenting.Measurement invariance was achieved across cultures for authoritative and authoritarian parenting, group harmony socialization, intrusive control, and their sub-dimensions, supporting the commonality principle.Cross-cultural differences in parenting normativeness did not follow the pattern of economic development but yielded culture-specific patterns, supporting the specificity principle.Both commonalities and specificities were manifested in associations between parenting and child outcomes across cultures.Conference Object The Differential Role of Parenting in Externalizing and Internalizing Behaviors of Male and Female Turkish Preschoolers(2017) Ekerim, M; Müren, Hatice Melis; Güney, Onuray; Selcuk, B; Nelson, D....Conference Object The Role of Father Involvement in Physical and Relational Victimization: Evidence From Turkish Preschool Boys(2017) Franko, I; Gönültaş, S; Sümer, O; Müren, Hatice Melis; Güney, Onuray; Selcuk, B...Conference Object The Unique Role of Fathers Besides Mothers on Child Outcomes in Turkey(2017) Niehues W; Müren, Hatice Melis; Güney, Onuray; Selcuk B...
