Publication Metadata only Well-being of mothers of children with orthopedic disabilities in a disadvantaged context: findings from Turkey(Springer, 2015) Department of Psychology; N/A; N/A; Selçuk, Bilge; Müren, H. Melis Yavuz; Şen, Hilal Harma; Faculty Member; PhD Student; PhD Student; Department of Psychology; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; Graduate School of Social Sciences and Humanities; Graduate School of Social Sciences and Humanities; 52913; N/A; 308928Identifying the factors that are associated with well-being of mothers of children with special needs is the first step for developing and implementing relevant social policies. in this research, we focused on subjective well-being of mothers of 105 Turkish children with orthopedic disabilities who came from a disadvantaged background; and investigated its association with child's health, parental stress, social support, and socio-economic status. Results showed that well-being of mothers was not significantly linked with child's health; but was closely associated with economic and social factors and stress. the findings are discussed with regard to the challenges of having a child with special needs and the available support systems in developing countries.Publication Metadata only Nonverbal markers of lying during children's collective interviewing with friends(Springer, 2019) N/A; N/A; Department of Psychology; Şen, Hilal Harma; Küntay, Aylin C.; PhD Student; Faculty Member; Department of Psychology; Graduate School of Social Sciences and Humanities; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; 308928; 178879To examine nonverbal behaviors that may differentiate between lie- and truth-tellers, recent studies have relied on collective interviews (e.g., Vrij and Granhag in Appl Cognit Psychol 28(6):936-944, 2014. https://doi.org/10.1002/acp.3071), where participants were solicited to fake their responses about an unexperienced event. In this study, we made participants experience actual events that involved a potential rule violation, and later interviewed them collectively and unanticipatedly about these previously experienced events. Ninety same-sex preschool dyads were observed in a temptation resistance paradigm, where an adult experimenter proscribed touching of attractive toys and left the children alone. The dyads of children were later interviewed by the experimenter about how they handled this rule. Nonverbal behaviors were coded during the entire interview phase where they could lie by withholding transgression (i.e., lying by omission) and right after a target question where children chose to lie or tell the truth (i.e., lying by commission). Truth-tellers and lie-tellers showed (1) differences in response latency, looking at friend, and use of gestures right after the target question, but were (2) similar in their interactive nonverbal behaviors during the entire interview (i.e., speech transition, looking at friend, and utterance rate). This is the first study showing that nonverbal behaviors accompanying lie-telling behavior are different when a collective interview is carried out in a spontaneous deceptive context as opposed to planned deceptive contexts.Publication Metadata only Peer persuasion strategies during rule following in 4-to 6-year-olds(Wiley, 2021) Kumkale, Gökçe Tarcan; N/A; Department of Psychology; Şen, Hilal Harma; Küntay, Aylin C.; PhD Student; Faculty Member; Department of Psychology; Graduate School of Social Sciences and Humanities; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; 308928; 178879Despite being a ubiquitous form of communication, persuasive communication between children received relatively scant research attention. We used a novel approach to study children's persuasive interactions in a semi-naturalistic paradigm where dyads of 4- to 6-year-old children were asked to follow a rule together. In this context, we observed (a) the frequency and types of strategies children spontaneously used to persuade their partners to abide by the rule, (b) compliance behavior following the persuasion attempt, and (c) strategy change following a failed attempt to persuade. We coded children's persuasive strategies as gentle control, negative control, and non-engagement. Children tended to use gentle control and negative control strategies to a greater extent than non-engagement strategies to prevent their partner's potential rule violation. However, after a violation occurred, children most frequently displayed non-engagement. Gentle control brought about more compliance than the other strategies. Children tended to maintain their persuasive strategy of negative control and non-engagement, even though these were mostly ineffective in achieving compliance. These results show that 4- to 6-year-old children spontaneously and flexibly utilized persuasive strategies with peers to abide by a rule.Publication Metadata only Eisenberg's theory of prosocial reasoning(Elsevier Inc., 2015) Department of Psychology; N/A; Selçuk, Bilge; Şen, Hilal Harma; Faculty Member; PhD Student; Department of Psychology; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; Graduate School of Social Sciences and Humanities; 52913; 308928In this article, we present information about Eisenberg's prosocial moral reasoning. Prosocial moral reasoning focuses on the moral justifications behind prosocial actions intended to benefit another person. There are five levels of prosocial moral reasoning, progressing from self-centered concerns to other-oriented and value-related concerns. This change in prosocial moral reasoning is partly related with improving empathic, sympathetic, and perspective-taking skills. Finally, there is a positive association between prosocial moral reasoning and prosocial behavior, but motivational and situational factors are also important in this relationship.
