Master Thesis Children's Concept of Rules and Their Judgments on Crime and Punishment(MEF Üniversitesi, 2024) Tangu, Sevilay; Acar, MelikeTuriel (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.Master Thesis Evaluations of Children and Parents on Parental Lies(MEF Üniversitesi, 2023) Çevik, Işılay; Acar, MelikePiaget (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.
