Item A program for adolescents about their physical, physiological, sexual, emotional and social changes and development(Thesis (M.A.) - Bogazici University. Institute for Graduate Studies in Social Sciences, 1982., 1982.) Kulaksızoğlu, Adnan, 1947-; Baykal, Ali.In this study, a short-term program was developed to give some essential information to adolescents about their physical, physiological, sexual, emotional and social changes and development, and to help them to lessen their anxieties which are the natural outcomes of the adolescence period. The seven-unit program, was applied to 22 Lise students living in an orphanege called Mevlanakapı Yetiştirme Yurdu. In order to assess the effects of this program, Mooney Problem Check List was given to the students before and after the course, and the differences between the number of items checked were evaluated. Almost all of the items on the Check-List are marked by a smaller number of students at the end of the program. In addition, five-item quetsionnaire was given at the end of the course to find out how the students evaluate this program. According to observations and analysis of data obtained through Problem Check List and five-item evaluation questionnaire, it can be said that this program had on positive effect on the students. It seems that this program ond the similar ones to be developed may be useful for adolescents and can be incorporated easily in school curricula.Item Perceived social support and the psychological well-being of adolescent Syrian refugees(Thesis (M.A.) - Bogazici University. Institute for Graduate Studies in the Social Sciences, 2019., 2019.) Çakmak, Betül Gülcan.; Börkan, Bengü.; Yeniad, Nihal.The present study investigated the level of perceived social support (SS) and psychological well-being (well-being) in Syrian adolescents in comparison with Turkish adolescents from various socioeconomic status (SES). Also, the roles of the family SES, gender, health, and traumatic experiences on the adolescents’ well-being were investigated. Participants were 178 Syrian and 238 Turkish adolescents and their mothers. The Child and Adolescent Social Support Scale, the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire and a survey including questions related to the demographic and family SES information were administered to adolescents and a survey assessing the family SES, adolescents’ health and traumatic experience were administered to mothers. Based on the findings, Syrian adolescents had lower levels of SS and well-being than Turkish adolescents did. A higher level of well-being was associated with a higher level of SS (mother, teacher, and classmate). However, the correlation between SS (mother and father) and well-being varied across groups. While the relationship between teacher support and psychological difficulties was moderated by gender in both groups, the relationship between mother support and psychological difficulties was moderated by gender only in Syrian adolescents. The relationship between psychological difficulties and father support was moderated by health only in Syrian adolescents who had health-related problems. Lastly, Syrian adolescents differed on SS and well-being based on their experience of residing in refugee camps. The practical implications for school counselors were discussed.Item Turkish adolescents' level of psychological adjustment in relation to adolescents' perception of parental psychological maltreatment and physical punishment(Thesis (M.A.)-Bogazici University. Institute for Graduate Studies in Social Sciences, 2004., 2004.) Eryiğit, Suna.; Erkman, Fatoş.This study investigated the inter-relationship between adolescents' psychological adjustment, perception of parental psychological maltreatment, and perceived physical punishment from parents in terms of justness and harshness. The sample was selected from ninth grade students in four high schools in İstanbul. The five variables in this study are adolescents' level of psychological adjustment, perception of maternal psychological maltreatment, perception of paternal psychological maltreatment, perception of physical punishment in terms of justness and harshness. The specific questions investigated were the impact of perceived maternal and paternal psychological maltreatment and physical punishment in terms of justness and harshness on perceived psychological adjustment. Also, the possible variance of perception of parental psychological maltreatment according to perceived harshness and justness were explored. Four instruments were used for data collection, specifically Demographic Information Form (DIF), Personality Assessment Questionnaire (PAQ)-Turkish Form, Perception of Psychological Maltreatment Inventory (POPMIFA), and Physical Punishment Questionnaire (PPQ)-Turkish Form. Data was analyzed through structural equation modeling, in AMOS software statistics program. The results showed that perceived parental psychological maltreatment has a significant impact on perceived psychological adjustment (β=.40, p<.01), whereas harshness and unjustness do not have direct impact on perceived psychological adjustment but the impact is mediated by perceived psychological maltreatment (β=.34, p<.000; β=.23, p<.000, respectively). The impact of perceived harshness of physical punishment on perceived psychological adjustment varies according to adolescents' perception of parental maltreatment.
