Children's Concept of Rules and Their Judgments on Crime and Punishment
(MEF Üniversitesi, 2024) Tangu, Sevilay; Acar, Melike
Turiel (1983) has documented in his studies that children judge rules differently based on different social domains. The aim of this research is to investigate how children evaluate rule violations and domain undifferentiated punishments encountered in schools and how they judge the punishments given by teachers for these situations. Additionally, students are asked to provide alternative ways for the behaviors mentioned in the stories, offering suggestions to teachers. As data collection tools, participants were initially asked four questions about their perceptions of class rules, and they were required to justify their answers. Subsequently, participants were engaged in semi-structured clinical interviews by reading six different hypothetical stories created from three social domains. The participant group of the research consists of 60 primary school students aged 6-9. The findings of the study indicate that young children (6-7 years old) perceive rules as more unchangeable compared to older children (8-9 years old). Consistent with previous studies, moral transgressions were found to be less acceptable compared to social-conventional and prudential domains.
The Mediating Role of Psychological Resilience and Self-Compassion in the Relationship Between Perceived Parental Support and Social Media Addiction
(MEF Üniversitesi, 2024) İşleyici, Burak; Acar, Melike
The internet, which has entered our lives as a communication tool, has become an indispensable part of life and continues to exist in various realms through its evolving nature. One such domain is social media, which offers individuals the opportunity to present themselves in diverse ways and to foster more positive mental states. The desire to sustain this positive mental state can lead to social media addiction. Consequently, individuals may face serious problems significantly impacting their lives. Therefore, it is crucial to investigate factors potentially associated with social media addiction and to provide corresponding prevention and intervention services. Psychological resilience and self-compassion are considered significant factors for individuals with internet addiction as they are believed to enhance emotion regulation and impact addiction. The objective of this study is to examine the mediating role of self-compassion and psychological resilience in the relationship between perceived parental attention and social media addiction. The study's sample consists of 302 participants, and a correlational research model has been employed due to the examination of relationships between variables, along with descriptive statistics for these variables. A two-mediator model (Model 6) was utilized, leveraging the Hayes PROCESS analytical tool. The 'Demographic Information Form', 'Resilience Scale', 'Parental Attitudes Scale I-II', 'Social Media Addiction Scale', and 'Self-Compassion Scale' were used. The findings of the research reveal a relationship between the perceived parental attention of individuals and their social media addiction, with self-compassion playing a substantial mediating role in this relationship.
Evaluations of Children and Parents on Parental Lies
(MEF Üniversitesi, 2023) Çevik, Işılay; Acar, Melike
Piaget (2015) stated that the evaluation and justification of children's lying behavior in moral terms change according to cognitive developmental stages. Studies conducted on the paradigm of disappointing gift, a white lie area, have observed that it is found more acceptable compared to other areas of lies (Aydın, 2021; Warneken & Orlins, 2015; Gingo, Roded, & Turiel, 2019). The aim of this research is to investigate how children and parents evaluate and justify the lies told by parents. Participants were presented with seven different stories as data collection tools, and they were asked to assess and justify these stories. The participants in the first study were 35 children in the 5-6 age group and 35 children in the 10-11 age group. The participants in the second study were 68 parents with children aged 5-12. The results of the research revealed, in line with previous studies, that the most acceptable lie category is the disappointing gift paradigm, which falls under the category of white lies.
