    Protective and risk factors associated with involved fatherhood in a traditional culture
    (John Wiley and Sons Inc, 2023-02) Kisbu, Yasemin; Akçinar Yayla, Berna; Kuşcul, Gönül Hilal; Bozok, Mehmet; Turunç, Gamze; Fişek, Güler
    Objective: Consistent with ecological systems theory and the heuristic model of parental behavior dynamics, the current study is focused on both individual and contextual factors that determine fatherhood involvement in the context of a traditional patriarchal culture. Background: Father–child interaction during the early childhood period is a salient factor in predicting later child outcomes. However, studies on antecedents of involved fatherhood are scarce, mostly concentrated on one aspect of fathering behavior, and limited to few cultural contexts. Method: Data were collected from a representative urban sample of fathers of preschoolers in Turkey (N = 1,070). Different components of fatherhood involvement were assessed to project three distinct paternal behavior dimensions as care, affection, and control. Results: Father role satisfaction, psychological value attributed to the child, and perceived family support were positively associated with involved fatherhood and higher parental warmth. Working hours per day was negatively associated with involved fatherhood, as expected. Higher life satisfaction was associated with higher positive parenting. Patriarchal views of masculinity were found to be the main predictor of parental physical punishment, controlling for all other predictors in the model. Conclusion: Study findings emphasized the importance of factors other than parenting skills that contribute to fathers' parental effectiveness. Implications: Our study's findings have implications for family practices and policies. For example, besides parenting skills, father support programs should also focus on other factors such as developing awareness of traditional masculinity norms and gender role prescriptions that can harm democratic family environments and childcare practices.

    Türkiye’deki psikologların cinsiyete/toplumsal cinsiyete ilişkin söylemleri: nitel bir çalışma
    (Mehmet Akif Kara, 2021-06-30) Şah, Umut; Tekdemir, Göklem
    The aim of this study is to find out ‘interpretative repertoires’ used as discursive resources for sex/gender explanations of psychologists working in various fields in Turkey. Within the scope hereof, in-depth interviews were conducted with fourteen psychologists. Interviews were recorded and then transcribed. Interview texts were analyzed through discourse analysis. As a result of the analysis, four different interpretative repertoires were identified; dichotomy, feelings, nurture and difference. As to dichotomy repertoire, sex/gender is constructed within biology-society and woman-man dichotomies while it is defined as an individual and inner phenomenon in the feelings repertoire. When it comes to nurture repertoire, sex/gender is described as an identity acquired by nurturing processes while sexual differentiation is constructed as the source of difference and variety among people in difference repertoire. The results of the study manifest that the participants conceptualize sex/gender and sexuality within a dichotomous and essentialist framework to a large extent. The discourses of psychologists in Turkey have undergone some shifts in parallel with the transformations in Western psychology, however it is still possible to argue that essentialist, dichotomous and heteronormative assumptions on sex and sexuality keep forming their discourses to a certain extent in explicit or implicit ways. This is connected with the limited relation of (mainstream) psychology to other disciplines, critical and social constructionist perspectives, qualitative methodologies and activism as well as the fact that psychology in Turkey has mostly been imported from the West.

    İstanbul Şile’de sürücü ve yolcuların emniyet kemeri kullanımı: gözlem çalışması
    (Türker Özkan, 2018-10-25) Duran, Emrah; Ordu, Oğuzhan; Tekeş, Burcu
    Emniyet kemeri kullanımının trafik kazalarında hayat kurtardığı ve yaralanma riskini önemli derecede azalttığı kanıtlanmasına rağmen Türkiye’de emniyet kemeri kullanım oranları halen yeterli düzeyde bulunmamaktadır. Bu çalışmanın temel amacı, İstanbul ilinin Şile ilçesindeki emniyet kemeri kullanımının araçtaki pozisyona, cinsiyete ve farklı gözlem bölgelerine göre değişip değişmediğinin gözlemlenmesidir. Bu gözlem çalışması farklı bölgelerdeki (Kampüs-içi, Kampüs girişi, Şile Otobanı, Şile Kırsalı) sürücülerden eşit bir örneklem oluşturularak (N = 400) gerçekleştirilmiştir. Emniyet kemeri kullanımına etki eden faktörleri (araçtaki pozisyon, cinsiyet ve bölgeler) analiz etmek amacıyla Ki-Kare Bağımsızlık Testi uygulanmıştır. Verilerin analizi sonucunda emniyet kemeri kullanımı dağılımlarının gözlem bölgeleri, araçtaki pozisyon, cinsiyet ve araç tiplerine göre anlamlı bir şekilde farklılaştığı görülmüştür. Buna göre emniyet kemeri kullanımının; bölgelere göre otobanda, araç içi pozisyona göre ise sürücülerde, cinsiyete göre kadınlarda ve araç tiplerine göre otomobil sürücülerinde diğerlerinden daha yüksek olduğu gözlemlenmiştir. Emniyet kemeri kullanımının pratik sonuçları, araştırmanın güçlü yönleri, katkıları ve sınırlılıkları ilgili alanyazın ışığında tartışılmıştır.
