Item Preventing preschoolers’ social skill deficits through a child training program(Thesis (M.A.) - Bogazici University. Institute for Graduate Studies in the Social Sciences, 2019., 2019.) Şentürk, Merve İpek.; Çorapçı, Feyza.Social skills gained in the preschool period affect important areas like peer relations, school success, and mental health in later years. Impact research on social skills training programs in Turkey is limited in terms of sample size and assessment tools. This study aimed to develop a researcher-led social skills training program for preschoolers and examine its effects on children’s social competence, social and emotion understanding skills, social problem solving and play behaviors. In this randomized control, pretest-posttest study, preschools from Bakırköy municipality schools were randomly assigned to intervention and control groups. Intervention group received a 12-week program, which consisted of weekly, 40-minute researcher-led classroom sessions between February and May 2017. A total of 181 children (61 control, 120 intervention) whose ages ranged from 46 to 74 months, their mothers and teachers participated in the study. Before and after the program implementation, mothers and teachers completed behavior rating scales, and children were administered individual tests to obtain data on their social and emotional competence. Children in the intervention group were also observed in free play time. Results revealed that children in the intervention group showed more increase in social competence and prosocial responses to peer provocation between pre- and post-test compared to children in the control group. A downward trend in aggressive problem solutions was also observed in intervention group. Unexpectedly, intervention children showed more increase in anger-aggression scores between pre- and post-test compared to control group. Results have been discussed with respect to program content, delivery method and assessment tools along with study limitations.Item The relationship between maternal emotional awareness and emition socialization practices(Thesis (M.A.)-Bogazici University. Institute for Graduate Studies in Social Sciences, 2009., 2009.) Atay, Saffet Zeynep.; Çorapçı, Feyza.This study investigated direct and indirect relations between mothers‘ awareness of their own emotions and children‘s social and emotional competence through their emotion socialization practices. The sample consisted of 106 mothers, their 3-6 year old children and their teachers. A semi-structured interview was initially conducted with a small subsample of mothers (N=31) to delineate the emotion socialization practices of Turkish mothers. In the second step of the study, all mothers filled out an emotion socialization scale and a scale to assess maternal emotional awareness. Mothers and teachers rated children‘s social and emotional competence. Qualitative interview analyses revealed similar themes with the commonly used emotion socialization scale. Distinct emotion socialization practices reflecting the values of the Turkish culture such as emotional interdependence were also discerned. Results of the quantitative analyses revealed that mothers low in emotional awareness used higher levels of nonsupportive emotion socialization practices and rated their children as more labile/negative. Given that maternal education and gender were both significantly associated with nonsupportive practices and mother ratings of child lability/negativity, they were controlled for in the mediation analysis. Nonsupportive emotion socialization practices were found to fully mediate the effect of maternal emotional awareness on child lability/negativity.|Keywords: emotion socialization, emotional awareness, alexithymia, culture.
