Parental socialization of emotion : how mothers respond to their children's emotions in Turkey

Several research studies suggest a link between parents’ emotion socialization and children’s social competence and behavior problems. Parents contribute to their children’s emotion socialization, more directly, through responses to their children’s emotions. Early emotion socialization experiences with parents establish patterns of emotion experience, expression, and regulation that children carry into their broader social circles. Few scales exist to document parents’ responses to children’s emotions. The aim of this study was to document mothers’ responses to their children’s sadness, anger, fear, and being overjoyed. A study sample of 868 mothers of preschoolers completed the questionnaire in Turkey. The validity and reliability properties of the Responses to Children’s Emotions (RCE) Questionnaire were also examined. We found that mothers in Turkey preferred to respond differently to children’s different emotions. Mothers’ responses generally did not differ according to the gender of their children; the only difference was found for sadness. Mothers’ responses to their children’s emotions related to the children’s and mothers’ ages, monthly family income, levels of mothers’ education, mothers’ employment status, birth order of children, and the city they lived in. This study is important in that it is the first to document mothers’ emotion socializationpeer-reviewe

PreschoolTeachers’ Emotional Awareness Levels and Their Responses to Children's Negative Emotions

AbstractThe purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between preschool teachers’ responses to children's negative emotions and their emotional awareness levels. The data was collected from 121 preschool teachers in spring 2013 by the Teachers’ Attitudes/Behaviors Questionnaire and the Toronto Alexithymia Scale-20. Preschool teachers indicated to use mostly problem focus, emotional regulation, label feeling, and behavior focus responses towards children's negative emotions. In addition, low emotional awareness level was negatively correlated with label feeling, emotional regulation, and problem focus responses. Difficulty describing feelings was positively correlated with punishment response. Educational programs teachers graduated from, teachers’ ages, and the number of years they worked were not related to the way they respond to children's negative emotions. As a result, teachers’ own emotional awareness levels are related to how they respond children's emotions

The First Structure Of Ankara Muhyiddin Mesud Mosque And Its Place In The Turkish Architecture

Alaeddin Keykubad tarafından tamir ettirildiği için yanlış olarak onun adıyla bilinen fakat Selçuklu emiri Muhyiddin Mesud’un Ankara’da hüküm sürdüğü devirde sarayla birlikte yapılmış olan (1197) cami bugüne kadar yalnızca ahşap minberi ile dikkat çekmiştir. Aslında o, yalnız Ankara’nın değil, Türk mimarisinin bazı problemlerini aydınlatacak bazı unsur ve yenilik içermektedir. Caminin kıble duvarındaki bir kapı, varlığı bilinmekle birlikte yeri şimdiye kadar tespit edilemeyen batıdaki saraya geçit vermekteydi. Caminin doğusunda bulunan bir mihrap izi burasının daha eski bir camiyi işaret etmektedir. Osmanlılara kadar bu eski ve yeni cami bir kapı ile bağlanarak birlikte hizmet etmişlerdir. Düz damlı bu eski caminin batısına yapılan şimdiki cami, kuzeyindeki son cemaat yeri ve onun üstündeki kadınlar mahfili Muhyiddin Mesud’un eseri olup son iki unsur Türk mimarisinde türünün bilinen en eski örnekleridir. Cami, eski bölümdeki alçı kaplamalı mihrabı, ahşap minberi, ahşap örtüsü, üstü kadınlar mahfeli olarak düzenlenmiş alçak son cemaat yeri ile klasik Ankara üslubunun temel taşı olmuştur. Ayrıca minarenin yanındaki çeşme de bildiğimiz suyu devamlı akan bir çeşme olmayıp, suyu taşınarak temin edilen farklı bir çeşmedir. Yanındaki saray ise kıble duvarında kapısı bulunan diğer bazı Selçuklu devri camilerinin hemen yakınında veya bitişiğinde bir sarayın bulunabileceğine dair önemli bir işarettir

Protective effect of decorin on acute ischaemia-reperfusion injury in the rat kidney

Introduction: Transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-beta 1) has a crucial role in collagen synthesis and fibrosis. TGF-beta 1 can be antagonized and/or reduced by the action of certain agents. We propose to identify the role of decorin in treatment of tubular and interstitial fibrosis and in the inhibition of TGF-beta 1 in an acute ischaemic kidney
