Öğe Adaptation of the Turkish Family of Origin Scale and the Development of Parallel Short Forms(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2024) Yavuzer, Yasemin; Gunaydin, H. Deniz; Gundogdu, RezzanThere is a growing body of research in counseling-related fields that investigates the influence of the family of origin experience as a determinant for family patterns. We examined the psychometric properties of the Family of Origin Scale (FOS) in a Turkish sample to establish its applicability as a research tool and proposed a two parallel short version of the FOS. We addressed these objectives in two different studies. The purpose of these studies was to examine the applicability, validity, and reliability of these two FOS in a Turkish samples. In the first study, because of the exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses conducted with two other sample groups of university students, it was found that the theoretically proposed factor structure of the FOS needed to be supported in the Turkish sample. A reliable and valid single-factor structure was obtained in the Turkish-adapted version. In the second study, two short forms, each with 20 items, were created and applied to two different sample groups of university students. Both forms, each measuring intimacy and autonomy, had a single-factor structure and showed a strong and significant correlation with each other and the 40-item FOS. The outcomes of the present investigation indicate a strong and statistically significant link between the shortened and comprehensive forms of the FOS contributing to the assessment in marital family therapy.Öğe AKADEMİSYENLER İÇİN CAM TAVAN ENGELLERİ ÖLÇEĞİ: GEÇERLİK VE GÜVENİRLİK ÇALIŞMASI(2020) Yavuzer, Yasemin; Özkan, RecepBu çalışmanın amacı, akademisyenlerin, kadınların üst yönetim kademelerine gelmelerini engelleyen yapay engellere ilişkinalgılarını ölçmek için geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçek geliştirmektir.

Target population of the study is formed of 8119 high school students who are study at the high schools in Nigde city center, and sample of the study is made up of 1417 high school students. In the study, Determining Conflict Solving Behavior Scale and Interview Form were used. In the analysis of the data, multivariate variance analysis for quantitative data content analysis for qualitative data was used. In conclusion, while the males, and the 10th and 11th grades in the state of conflict exhibit aggressive reactions, the females and the 9th grades are more inclined to problem solving; science high school students, on the other hand, resort less to problem solving. In the interviews conducted with the students, those whose aggression scores are high stated that they generally solve the conflicts using physical and verbal power, but those whose problem solving scores are high stated that they mostly solve the problems through talking. The research findings suggest that school administrators, teachers and psychological counselors of the school especially should not ignore the males and those of 10th and 11th grades while they prepare school-based programs aiming at preventing aggression at schools.Öğe Associations between popularity and aggression in Turkish early adolescents(Springer, 2021) Yavuzer, Yasemin; Karatas, ZeynepThe purpose of this study was to determine both the linear and the curvilinear relationships amongst perceived and sociometric popularity and aggression in early adolescence. The study sample consisted of 423 volunteer students who were chosen through random sampling from 8th grade students who were attending 19 elementary schools in Turkey. Before examining the study hypotheses, gender differences in aggression, perceived and sociometric popularity were examined. The study findings revealed that boys' physical, verbal and indirect aggression and anger scores were higher compared to girls. There was no significant gender difference in sociometric and perceived popularity. In addition, aggression scores of boys and girls had a negative linear effect on sociometric popularity, whereas they had a positive linear effect on perceived popularity. Curvilinear relationships showed that girls were more preferred by their peers when their anger scores were low and high, but their level of perceived popularity was slightly reduced at higher levels of physical and verbal aggression. Curvilinear relationships revealed that boys were preferred less at lower levels of verbal aggression. The curvilinear effect of aggression on perceived popularity was not statistically significant for boys.Öğe Beliren Yetişkinlikte Saldırganlık: Kişisel ve Ailesel Risk Faktörleri(2019) Karataş, Zeynep; Yavuzer, Yasemin; Gündoğdu, RezzanBu çalışmanın amacı beliren yetişkinlikte saldırganlıkla ilişkili olabilecek risk faktörlerini belirlemektir.

In drama, assessment is problematic as the content of the lesson often deviates from the plan because of spontaneous input from the students and on-the-spot changes in direction by the instructors. This paper is present an assessment model for the creative drama at education. The research was carried out with 213 teacher candidates enrolling drama at primary teaching course. One group pre-test and post-test models were formed in the research. The candidates were required to write letters to one of their friends on the creative drama in the first week of the program. The program lasted 14 weeks and at the end of it candidates were required to write letters as the post-tests. By analyzing the letters with content analysis method, main themes and sub-themes were formed. The increase between pre-test and post-test frequencies in the way of using themes in the letters were found. The correlation among main themes was investigated. It was seen that the students using concepts correctly in written letters as the post-tests.Öğe Development of a systemic premarital counselling programme and evaluating its impact on young adults' couple relationships: A pilot study(Springer, 2024) Yavuzer, Yasemin; Doganulku, Haci ArifThe purpose of this study was to develop, implement, and evaluate a premarital counselling programme based on a systemic approach (SPMC). The Couple Relationship Scale (CRS) was used as a data collection tools. We randomly selected 24 participants from Turkish university students who scored low on the CRS subscales and agreed to participate in the study. We provided the experimental group with eight sessions of SPMC. The control group did not receive any intervention at all. We used quantitative data to determine the change in participants' couple relationships and qualitative data to determine their views about SPMC and their personal awareness. Analysis shows that SPMC had an effect on the experimental group in terms of the communication, romance-sexuality, conflict resolution, and acceptance of differences subscales scores. Follow-up indicated that the effect of the SPMC was still measurable 12 and 24 weeks after the completion of SPMC. The obtained results are discussed on a theoretical basis.Öğe Development of Accountability Scale for School Counselor: Investigation of Psychometric Properties(Turkish Psychological Counseling and Guidance Association, 2020) Karataş, Zeynep; Yavuzer, Yasemin; Tagay, ÖzlemThe aim of this study is to develop a valid and reliable accountability scale that can be used to determine the level of accountability of school counselors. The study group consists of 494 school counselors, 298 women and 196 men. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis was used for the construct validity of the scale. Cronbach's Alpha internal consistency analysis and Spearman Brown two half reliability analyses were used as reliability analysis, when the results of exploratory factor analysis were examined in the study, it was seen that the scale had a structure with four factors (remedial services, developmental services, support services, preventive services) and this structure was confirmed by confirmatory factor analysis. Reliability analysis of the obtained scale also showed that the scale is reliable. The findings were discussed in light of the literature and various suggestions were made. © 2020 The Author(s).Öğe Effect of Creative Drama-based Group Guidance on Male-Adolescents' Conflict Resolution Skills(ANI YAYINCILIK, 2012) Yavuzer, YaseminProblem Statement: This study assumes that conflict itself is not constructive or destructive, whereas the path chosen to resolve the conflict is what leads to constructive or destructive results. When individuals resolve conflicts in a destructive manner, they instill feelings of anger, rage, hostility and violence in the people involved. On the other hand, when individuals resolve conflicts in a constructive manner, they ensure personal development by improving their own problem-solving, critical thinking and communication skills. Teaching students the skills to resolve conflicts in a constructive manner may dissuade them from choosing aggressive behavior when conflicts rise. Purpose of Study: The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of a conflict resolution skill training program integrated with creative drama on the conflict resolution skills of male adolescents. Methods: This is a quasi-experimental, pre-post and follow-up study with one experimental group and one control group. The researcher used the Conflict Resolution Behavior Determination Scale (CRBDS) to select the participants for the study. The experimental and control groups were each composed of 12 male students for a total of 24 participants. In the study, a program using creative drama techniques was applied to the students in the experimental group. No program was applied to the control group. For the analysis of the data, 2x3 Split-plot ANOVA was used for the repeated measurements. Findings and Results: The findings of the study show that creative drama-based conflict resolution training has been effective at both reducing male adolescents' aggression scores and increasing their problem resolution scores. The findings of the study also show that this effect persisted as far as the follow up measurements, which were done eight weeks after the end of the last application. Conclusions and Recommendations: The results of this study show that adolescents who participate in group work integrated with creative drama can learn conflict resolution skills. Therefore, the researcher suggests that creative drama can be used effectively as a group guidance method that teaches conflict resolution skills. In this study, it was also found that the participants retained the knowledge and skills at the time of the follow up measurements that were done eight weeks after the end of the last application. It may take many years for psychological counselors to create constant change with this kind of application so future studies should reinforce the students' training through occasional, short-term programs that would remind students of the aforementioned knowledge and skills.Öğe Investigating the Relationship between Self-Handicapping Tendencies, Self-Esteem and Cognitive Distortions(EDAM, 2015) Yavuzer, YaseminThe purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between cognitive distortions, self-handicapping tendencies, and self-esteem in a sample of students studying in a school of education. The sample of the study was comprised of 507 volunteer students chosen through random sampling from a total of 4,720 students who were studying teaching at Nigde University and Aksaray University, located in central Anatolia in Turkey. The self-handicapping scale, cognitive distortions scale, and Rosenberg self-esteem scale were used in the present study. In a preliminary analysis, it was found that women had higher self-handicapping scores than men. In the current study, it was found that cognitive distortions (self-criticism, self-blame, hopelessness, and preoccupation with danger) and self-esteem significantly predicted self-handicapping tendencies. The mediator and moderator role of self-esteem on the relation between cognitive distortions and self-handicapping were the major questions of this study. It was found that self-esteem did not have a mediator role on the relationship between cognitive distortions or self-handicapping in the current study group. However, the study revealed important findings regarding the moderator role of self-esteem on the relationship between cognitive distortions and self-handicapping. That is, high levels of cognitive distortions (self-criticism, self-blame, hopelessness, and preoccupation with danger) were related to a high self-handicapping tendency for teacher candidates with low self-esteem.Öğe Investigation of Employees' Sources of Stress According to Demographic Variables by Controlling Type A Personality Scores(TURKISH EDUCATION ASSOC, 2015) Yavuzer, Yasemin; Gundogdu, Rezzan; Koyuncu, Seckin CanThis study aimed to examine stress sources of officials and supervisors in the Ministry of Education's central administration in terms of gender, age, marital status, job position, length of service by controlling Type A Personality scores. The Stress Source Scale and The Type A Personality Scale tests were administered to 102 employees of the Ministry of Education's central administration. The data was analyzed by covariance analysis. Their scores for stress sources related to social factors, work and self-interpretation indicate they are inclined to develop illness, and their scores for stress sources related to physical environment indicate that the employees are exposed to stress sources to such an extent that they are likely to develop illnesses. It was observed that the employees between the ages of 41-50 tend to have more stress sources related to social factors, work and physical environment than employees between the ages of 20-30. Similarly, men tend to have more stress sources related to work and physical environment than women. Married individuals have more stress sources related to work and physical environment than singles. Supervisors have more stress sources related to work than officials. Employees who have been working for 6-15 years have more stress sources related to physical environment than employees who have been working for 1-5 years.Öğe Investigation of Relationship between Aggression and Sociometric Popularity in Adolescents(EDAM, 2013) Yavuzer, YaseminIn this study, it was aimed to determine the linear and curvilinear relationships between adolescent aggression and sociometric popularity. 524 adolescents randomly selected from 20 elementary schools in Nigde city center formed the study group. The participants were from 8th grade in 20 different classrooms. The research data were collected by applying Aggression Scale and doing Sociometric Measurement. Sociometric Measurement was done by asking the students to write the names of three of their friends from their classroom on pre-prepared forms that (i) "they most want to spend time with" (ii) "they least want to spend time with". Since the aggression and sociometric popularity scores showed differences based on gender, analyses were performed separately for girls and boys. Because there was not a meaningful relationship between girls' sociometric popularity scores and aggression (in five types) scores, regression analysis was not conducted with the data obtained from female adolescents. For boys, linear and quadratic regression analysis was carried out to explain the relationships between their sociometric popularity and aggression. The results showed that the least preferred and the most preferred boys' aggression (except anger) levels were high.Öğe KIZ ERGENLERİN ANNE-BABA-ERGEN ARASINDAKİ ÇATIŞMA DURUMLARINA VE EBEVEYN TEPKİLERİNE İLİŞKİN GÖRÜŞLERİ(2019) Yavuzer, Yasemin; Liman, Belgin; Kılıçarslan, SuatBu araştırmada kız ergenlerin bir çatışma durumundaanne ve babalarının nasıl davrandığı ve kendileriannelerinin yerinde olsalardı nasıl davranacaklarıkonusundaki görüşleri incelenmiştir.

The purpose of this study is to examine the mediating role of problem-solving skills in the relationship between perceived social support and depression in university students. The study sample is comprised of 319 first-year students selected by proportional sampling method out of 3700 first-year students attending four faculties of Omer Halisdemir University. Beck Depression Inventory, Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support and Problem-Solving Inventory were administered to the participants. The data were analyzed using simple and multiple linear analysis. In the preliminary analysis, it was found that depression scores of students who stated that they had personal difficulties in an academic year were higher, and women perceived themselves positively in problem solving. It was seen that personal difficulty experience was important predictors of perceived problem-solving skills and perceived social support. Furthermore, it was determined that problem-solving skills were partial mediators in the relationship between perceived social support and depression.Öğe Relationships Amongst Aggression, Self-Theory, Loneliness, and Depression in Emerging Adults(Sage Publications Inc, 2019) Yavuzer, Yasemin; Albayrak, Guldener; Kilicarslan, SuatThe purpose of this study was to examine the relationships amongst aggression, self-theory, loneliness, and depression. The study group consisted of 904 student volunteers from various undergraduate programs of a university in Central Anatolia. Simple and hierarchical multiple linear regression analyses, as well as t-tests, were used to analyze the data. In the preliminary analysis performed, females' depression levels and males' aggression levels are higher. The study findings revealed that self-theory negatively and significantly predicted aggression, whereas loneliness and depression positively and significantly predicted aggression in emerging adulthood. Another important finding showed that both direct and indirect relationships exist between self-theory and aggression. According to these findings, loneliness and depression play partially mediating roles individually, and fully mediating roles together, with regard to the relationship between self-theory and aggression.Öğe SCHOOL PSYCHOLOGICAL COUNSELORS' PERCEPTIONS ABOUT CHILD ABUSE AND NEGLIGENCE: A CASE STUDY IN TURKEY(Editura Univ Oradea, 2013) Gundogdu, Rezzan; Yavuzer, YaseminThe purpose of this study is to evaluate opinions expressed by school psychological counselors that work in primary and secondary educational institutions about child abuse and neglect. 78 school psychological counselors among the ones that work three middle sized provinces located in Central Anatolia Region participated in this study. Data have been gathered via a questionnaire consisting of three sections and prepared by the researchers. The psychological counselors did not receive sufficient level of education in preventing child abuse. The most challenging issue is to communicate with the relevant agencies/legal process. Among the precautions that can be taken at a society level, they propose the training of parents. They think that their duties fall within the scope of preventive services. New elective courses can be added in Psychological Counseling and Guidance undergraduate program and effective in-service training programs can be prepared for the counselors in service with the participation of lecturers from the Psychological Counseling and Guidance departments of universities. Besides, school based preventive actions should be planned, implemented and evaluated.Öğe The Effect of Irrational Relationship Beliefs on Attitudes Toward Intimate Partner Violence in Emerging Adults: Moderating Effect of Gender(Springer Publishing Co, 2024) Yavuzer, Yasemin; Kilicarslan, SuatAttitudes toward intimate partner violence (IPVA) can be considered as approval/accept- ance or disapproval/nonacceptance of physical violence against the intimate partner, psychological abuse, and control of the intimate partner. Individual (such as antisocial tendencies and irrational relationship beliefs [IRB]) and social factors (such as tradi- tional norms and beliefs) shape IPVA. Studies on intimate partner violence (IPV) have revealed a significant relationship between IPVA and IPV. For this reason, IPVA is key to understanding IPV. This study was conducted to examine the effect of IRB on IPVA in Turkish emerging adults and the moderating effect of gender. Participants consisted of 551 students studying at a university in Central Anatolia. Of the participants, 374 were female, and the remaining 177 were male. All participants had at least one previous relationship experience. In the preliminary analysis performed, males' IPVA scores were higher than those of females. The study findings revealed that IRB and gender positively and significantly predicted IPV attitudes. Another important finding showed that the effect of IRB on IPVA was stronger for females. The results highlighted the importance of working on transforming irrational beliefs into rational beliefs in women's acceptance of IPV.Öğe THE EFFECTS OF COOPERATIVE LEARNING ON THE ABILITIES OF PRE-SERVICE ART TEACHER CANDIDATES TO LESSON PLANNING IN TURKEY(Edith Cowan Univ, 2006) Dikici, Ayhan; Yavuzer, YaseminCooperative learning is in many ways a more effective learning method than individual and competitive learning. In this study, the effects of cooperative learning on the abilities of the pre-service art teacher candidates to plan lessons were emphasized. For this purpose, 32 art teacher candidates were selected for the experimental group, and 32 art teacher candidates were selected by random sampling method. An evaluation rubric was developed to evaluate the lesson plans that the art teacher candidates prepared. Points that increased two by two from 0 to 10 were included in the rubric. A cooperative learning program was developed for application in the experimental group. Samples of lesson plans were taken for a pre-test purpose before starting the program. The program lasted for three weeks, and four hours each week; and at the end of the program post-test works were taken from the candidates. The rubric was scored by three people, including researchers. Cooperative learning method was applied to the experimental group, and traditional learning method was applied to the control group. The candidates of both groups were requested to focus on planning a lesson. The results of the research shown that there was no significant difference between the pre-test points (P>. 05), however, there was a significant difference between the post-test points in favour of the experimental group (P<. 05). It was observed that the results of this research were similar to those of other research.Öğe The Mediating Role of Anger in the Relationship Between Automatic Thoughts and Physical Aggression in Adolescents(TURKIYE SINIR VE RUH SAGLIGI DERNEGI, 2013) Yavuzer, Yasemin; Karatas, ZeynepObjective: This study aimed to examine the mediating role of anger in the relationship between, automatic thoughts and physical aggression in adolescents. Materials and Methods: The study included 224 adolescents in the 9th grade of 3 different high schools in central Burdur during the 2011-2012 academic year. Participants completed the Aggression Questionnaire and Automatic Thoughts Scale in their classrooms during counseling sessions. Data were analyzed using simple and multiple linear regression analysis. Results: There were positive correlations between the adolescents' automatic thoughts, and physical aggression, and anger. According to regression analysis, automatic thoughts effectively predicted the level of physical aggression (b=0.233, P < 0.001)) and anger (b=0.325, P < 0.001). Analysis of the mediating role of anger showed that anger frilly mediated the relationship between automatic thoughts and physical aggression (Sobel z = 5.646, P < 0.001). Conclusion: Anger fully mediated the relationship between automatic thoughts and physical aggression. Providing adolescents with anger management skills training is very important for the prevention of physical aggression. Such training programs should include components related to the development of an awareness of dysfunctional and anger-triggering automatic thoughts, and how to change them. As the study group included adolescents from Burdur, the findings can only be generalized to groups with similar characteristics.Öğe Turkish Young-Old Adults' Self-Perceptions of Aging(Springer, 2021) Kilicarslan, Suat; Yavuzer, YaseminIn this study, we examined the self-perception of aging of young-old adults living in Turkey's Central Anatolia Region within the scope of aging anxiety and future time perspective dimensions. This research is a descriptive study and in this study, phenomenology, a qualitative research method, was employed. The study group was selected by snowball and purposeful sampling methods. Participants were identified through the elderly relatives of the author/authors (snowball sampling). At the same time, purposeful sampling was used to ensure that the participants were in the 65-74 age range. The study group was composed of a total of 37 old individuals aged between 65 and 74 years living in Turkey. The interview instrument was a semi-structured questionnaire and included both open and close ended questions. The interviews conducted within the framework of the 'personal information form' and 'semi-structured interview form' administered to the participants and the data obtained by transcribing these interviews into written text were analysed by theoretical thematic analysis method by the researchers. The findings showed that aging anxiety, future time perspective and loneliness represent different sub-dimensions of self-perception of aging. The results of this study showed that the self-perceptions of aging of 65-74-year-old young-old adults living in Central Anatolia Region in Turkey are negative, and that these perceptions differ according to living arrangements but do not differ according to gender.
