The Relation between Attachment and Personal Adjustment Mediated by Separation-Individuation

WOS: 000280521300014In the frame of the developed model, this study aims at testing whether the mediation of separation and/or individuation between the relationship of secure parental attachment and his/her personal adjustment for a late adolescent is effective or not in Turkish culture. In this study, the developed model was tested in two stages. The theoretically developed model was tested whether (or not) the relations between the theoretically mentioned structures fit the observed data in first stage. As the model statistically fitted the structural equation model, the model test which was done in second stage. In conclusion, the mediation of separation-individuation between the relationship of secure parental attachment and personal adjustment was accepted. It has shown that the mediation of separation-individuation between the relationship of secure maternal-paternal attachment and personal adjustment was shown to be valid in Turkish culture. Some adjustment problems of students can be prevented through conducting studies to materialize their secure parental attachment and separation-individuation in the frame of the psychological counseling and guidance services that are carried out at universities

The Separation-Individuation and Perceived Parenting Styles in Adolescents

WOS: 000285629700007Problem Statement: An infantile that needs his/her caregiver's or mothers' care starts moving independently by controlling his/her body movements during development stages. Therefore, an infantile becomes aware of the fact the he/she is a different individual from his/her mother. In other words, he/she begins in individualize. However, this process is a complex one which consists of father and the interaction between mother and infant. Adolescence is the second period in which a quick development takes place in an individual's life. Adolescence is a period of identity formation. In this study, the relationship between separation-individuation and perceived parenting dimensions in adolescents was analyzed since the characteristics of relationship between parents and adolescents during the separation-individuation process are significant. Purpose of the Study: The purpose of the study is to explain the relationship between adolescents' separation-individuation and their perceived acceptance/involvement and strict control parental dimensions. Method: The study group consisted of a total of 251 high school students, (126 female, 99 male) studying at 9(th), 10(th), and 11(th) grade levels. However, the date gathered from 26 students were disregarded due to incomplete and/or mistaken date. The analyses were carried out on a 225-person date set. The points which were obtained from the three scales were analyzed through SPSS 11.5 and the total points and the total points of scales were found in date analyses. Findings and Results: There was no difference between engulfment anxiety, rejection expectancy, and dependency denial subscales of SITA (the Separation-Individuation Test of Adolescene) according to geneder. There was no difference between parenting Styles Scale's acceptance/involvement and strict control dimensions according to gender. It was observed that there was a significant relationship between separation anxiety, rejection expectancy, and mother and father's strict control dimension. There was a positive relationship between practing-mirroring and mother's strict control dimension. There was a positive relationship between rejection expectancy and mother's acceptance/involvement dimension. There was a positive relationship between acceptance/involvement of mother-father and nurturance seeking. There was a positive relationship between nurturance seeking and father's strict control. Conclusions And Recommendations: At the end of the study, it was observed that separation anxiety, healthy separation, nurturance seeking, and peer enmeshment subscales scores were significantly different in terms of gender. The study showed that the scores gained from parenting Styles Scale's acceptance/involvement and strict control dimensions were not significantly difference in terms of gender. Some separation-individuation problems of students can be prevented through doing studies to materialize their parenting styles and separation-individuation in the frame of the counseling

Numerical investigation for convective heat transfer and friction factor under pulsating flow conditions

For pulsating flow, the behaviours of the convective heat transfer and friction factor for a periodic corrugated channel are investigated numerically. The finite volume method is used in the numerical study. Three different Reynolds Averaged Numerical Simulation based turbulence models, namely the k-ω model, the Shear Stress Transport (SST) model and the transition SST model are used and compared. The results are also compared with the previous experiments for non-pulsating flow. Analyses are conducted for air flow through a corrugated channel which has sharp corrugation peaks with an inclination angle of 30° and a 5mm minimum channel height. Reynolds number is changed in the range 6294 to 7380, while keeping the Prandtl number constant at 0.70. A sinusoidal pulsatile flow condition which is F=400 and uA*=0.5 is used. Variations of the Nusselt number and the friction factor with the Reynolds number are studied. Non-pulsating flow results and pulsating flow results are compared with each other
