The role of acculturation in autobiographical memory characteristics of Syrian migrants
The present study examined the association between acculturation orientations and the phenomenological and episodic characteristics of autobiographical memories of Syrian adult migrants in Türkiye. Moreover, the role of language in this association was investigated. Each participant received three instructions: recalling a pre-migration memory, a post-migration memory, and projecting an autobiographical future event. Participants then rated the g…
Functions of autobiographical memory in mother-adolescent reminiscing about emotionally charged events
Memory functions––or the reasons people reminisce––have primarily been studied retrospectively using self-report. In the current study, memory functions were coded directly from emotionally charged conversations between mothers and their adolescents. One hundred and eight Turkish mother-adolescent pairs ( M adolescent age 15 years; 1 month) talked about three one-point-in-time events they had experienced together, cued by distinct emotions (sadne…
We Might Get What We Need, but Not What We Want
This study examined how children and adolescents in Türkiye, a non‐Western context marked by economic instability and social stratification, construct their subjective socioeconomic status (SSS). Participants included 195 children ( N = 89, aged 8 to 11 years) and adolescents ( N = 106, aged 12 to 17 years) from lower ( N = 108) and higher ( N = 87) socioeconomic backgrounds. Using both quantitative and qualitative methods, results show that SSS …
Parental psychological control and adolescents’ cyberbullying
Young adults’ personal and relationship memories
We investigated the phenomenological and narrative characteristics of young adults’ self- and other-related memories within the context of significant relationships. We also examined whether participants’ gender and/or gender concordance between participants and their siblings was associated with autobiographical memory characteristics. We collected data from 108 college students who had only one sibling. All participants provided narratives in r…
Mother–child memory conversation and children’s independent memory
Mother–child memory conversations are a nuanced and important factor in children’s memory development. The current study focuses on maternal characteristics that are related to individual differences in maternal elaborative style. It also examines the role of maternal elaborative style in children's elaborativeness in the context of reminiscing and recounting. Two hundred and nine Turkish mothers (Mage = 36.32, SD = 4.99) and their 5- to 6-year-o…
Role of pandemic‐related experiences and maternal psychological distress in maternal rejection
How do mothers’ pre-pandemic emotion regulation skills and pandemic-related anxiety predict their children’s sadness regulation during the Covid-19 pandemic
Emotion regulation is one of the important skills helping children and parents to deal with stressful conditions within the family context during the pandemic. We aimed to investigate whether mothers’ emotion regulation strategies before COVID-19 and their COVID-19-related anxiety would predict children’s sadness regulation during the pandemic with a longitudinal design. A total of 310 children, aged 7–17, and their mothers from Türkiye participa…
Adolescents view social exclusion based on social class as more wrong than do children
Psychological attitudes about social status hierarchies and social mobility often reflect stereotypic expectations about competencies and entitlements based on inequalities. Children who experience exclusion based on social class are at risk of experiencing a lack of opportunities, contributing to societal disparities. Recently, developmental science has examined the origins of attitudes that contribute to social exclusion, reflecting moral judgm…
Transitions and transformations in sibling relationships
This study investigated the narrative characteristics of Turkish and U.S. young adults' sibling-related turning-point memories across gender, age orders, and cultures. We conducted face-to-face semi-structured interviews with 45 Turkish and 27 U.S. college students who had only one sibling. Participants were asked two main narrative questions: whether they have a close and personal relationship with their sibling and there is a turning point in t…
How I Remember My Mother’s Story
Stories that have not been personally experienced by children and are only told by their parents are called vicarious family stories. An emerging body of literature has shown that vicarious family stories are an important part of children’s narrative ecology. However, to date, only two studies from the same cross-cultural project have examined the role of culture in vicarious family stories. The aims of this study were to examine vicarious mother…
How three generations narrate their vicarious family stories
This study investigated the memory characteristics of vicarious family stories. Seventy-two families including three generations of women and men from different samples of families were recruited. Results can be described in three main sections: (a) intrafamilial similarities; (b) gender differences; and (c) cross-generational differences. For intrafamilial similarities, members of the same family showed similarities in terms of the volume and nu…
