When the literature is examined, the importance of communication with the child in parenting is emphasized, especially the power of the words used by the parents. Parental praise is expressed as parents' repetition of the desired behaviors in children and giving feedback that will make them feel warm and sensitive with their words and behaviors in order to indicate the satisfaction felt towards them. Studies emphasize that parental praise is an important method in child development and a method that parents use very often. It is reported that many parents prefer to use praise as a tool to build self-confidence in their child. In terms of positive discipline, it is assumed that praise creates a reward value as a result of operant conditioning and can affect behavioral acquisition in the child's development. The type of parental praise plays an important role in how children form their self-image. It is in these early relationships that children first begin to feel capable, competent, and loved. Although praise is expressed as a source of motivation when it cannot be used beneficially, it can become harmful to the child when used incorrectly or excessively. At this point, the content of the praise is important. In this study, the concept of parental praise is discussed, the content of praise, which is seen as a reference to motivation, is examined and its benefits for child development are tried to be explained. 2023-01-01T00:00:00Z https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12723/3630 Unrealistic Parental Optimism Karadeniz, Gülçin Unrealistic optimism is considered as an optimism bias based on the individual's motives of self-exaggeration and protection and is defined as evaluating oneself more positively than others. An important example of nurturing one's own self through the concept of unrealistic optimism is the parent-child relationship. The parent's having unrealistically positive perceptions about his/her child is reported to play an important role in the parenting experience, nourishing the parent's own self and changing the interaction with the child. An individual's placing parenting at the center of their life is not only limited to seeing themselves as better than they are, but can also affect their evaluations of their child. Unrealistic parental optimism can lead to disappointment, inappropriate persistence and unpreparedness for personal threats. The expectations created by the evolutionarily adaptive ability to look on the bright side of events and the disappointments that may be experienced in line with these expectations are significant for psychological science to be examined in an important context such as child rearing. This review focuses on the motives of parents to exhibit unrealistic parental optimism, what kind of behaviors they exhibit in this context and the outcomes of these behaviors on children. 2024-01-01T00:00:00Z https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12723/3626 Maske Çocuklarda Duygu Tanımayı Etkiler mi?: Duygunun Çeşidinin, Yaşın ve Ebeveyn Kaygısının Rolü Ekerim Akbulut, Müge; Atakan, Ebrar; Şenyiğit, Handenur; Balçık, Sema Merve; Kızılyurt, Zehra Mevcut çalışma, 47-74 aylık 60 okul öncesi çocuğun maskeli yüzlerden duygu tanıma performanslarını maskesiz yüzlerden duygu tanıma performanslarıyla karşılaştırmış, ayrıca çocukların duygu tanıma performanslarını etkileyebilecek olan duygunun çeşidi, duyguyu sergileyen kişinin yaşı ve ebeveynlerin sağlık kaygıları gibi sosyal faktörlerin rolünü incelemiştir. Çocuklar duygu tanıma görevini tamamlamış, ebeveynler ise Sağlık Anksiyetesi Ölçeği’ni doldurmuşlardır. Çocuklar maskesiz yüzlerdeki duyguları maskeli yüzlerdeki duygulardan daha doğru tanımış; ancak mutluluk, öfke, tiksinme, üzüntü ve korku arasından yalnızca üzüntüyü maskeli yüzlerden maskesiz yüzlere kıyasla daha zor anlamışlardır. Çocuklar maskeli yetişkin yüzlerindeki duyguları maskeli çocuk yüzlerindeki duygulardan daha doğru anlamış, ebeveynlerin sağlık kaygısıyla çocukların maskeli yetişkinlerin duygularını doğru tanıma performansları arasında olumlu ilişki ortaya çıkmıştır. Sonuçlar çocukların duygu tanıma süreçlerinde maskenin yüzdeki ipuçlarını gizlediğini ve özellikle üzüntünün anlaşılmasını güçleştirdiğini göstermiştir. Çocukların maskeli yetişkinlerin duygularını maskeli çocuklarınkinden daha doğru tanımaları ve ebeveynlerinin sağlık kaygılarının maskeli yüzlerden duygu tanımayla ilişkisi sosyal deneyimler ve duygu tanıma becerilerinin bağlantılı olduğunu göstermiştir. 2024-01-01T00:00:00Z https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12723/3611 Investigation Of The Relationship Between University Students' Love- Bombing And Ghosting Experiences And Theır Self-Efficacy Levels In Romantic Relationships Duman, Nesrin This study aims to examine the relationship between university students' love-bombing and ghosting experiences and their self-efficacy levels in romantic relationships. For this purpose, a total of 225 university students, 167 women and 58 men, between the ages of 18 and 30, were reached. As a data collection tool, "Socio-Demographic Information Form,” “Love-Bombing Question List,” “Ghosting Question List," created by the researchers, and "Self-Efficacy in Romantic Relationships Scale" were used. The findings showed that women experienced significantly higher love-bombing than men. Love-bombing experiences did not differ significantly according to age, education level, employment status, or income level. There was no significant difference in terms of ghosting experiences according to socio-demographic variables. Participants' self-efficacy levels in romantic relationships vary significantly according to age, sex, and education levels. The self-efficacy levels of the (18–24) age group were higher than those of the (25–30) age group; females self-efficacy levels were higher than males; and undergraduate students self-efficacy levels were higher than those of graduate school students. According to the correlational analysis results, a significant, negative, weak linear correlation was found between the level of self-efficacy in romantic relationships and love-bombing and ghosting experiences. There is a significant, positive, moderately correlated relationship between love-bombing and ghosting experiences. 2024-01-01T00:00:00Z
