The Longitudinal Association of Maternal Cultural Values With Maternal Mental State Talk and Children's Theory of Mind
This longitudinal study examined the associations among maternal cultural values, maternal mental state talk (MST), and preschool children's ( M age = 51.68 months) theory of mind (ToM) across two time points 1 year apart. Participants were 119 Turkish mother–child dyads at T1 and 89 at T2. Mothers reported their endorsement of individualist and collectivist values and engaged in a joint book‐reading task with their children to assess MST, while …
Children’s Social Understanding Scale-Short Form
Research Findings: The Children’s Social Understanding Scale (CSUS) assesses young children’s theory of mind (ToM). The current study adapted the parent version of the CSUS-short form to Turkish and examined its utility, for the first time, as an assessment tool for teachers. The associations of parent and teacher reports of the CSUS-short form with classical behavioral assessments of ToM were investigated along with such known correlates of ToM …
Favoring Inequalities and Mind-Reading
Although studies have so far investigated social dominance orientation (SDO) in relation to its association with prejudice and discrimination toward outgroups, it is not known whether SDO's link with poor intergroup relations might be underlined by specific socio-cognitive factors such as reduced mind-reading motivation (MRM) and poor mind-reading performance. The present study tested whether endorsement of SDO is associated with decreased MRM an…
Parenting by lying in Turkey
Parenting by lying—a practice whereby parents lie to their children as a means of emotional or behavioral control—is common throughout the world. This study expands upon the existing, albeit limited, research on parenting by lying by exploring the prevalence and long-term associations of this parenting practice in Turkey. Turkish university students ( N = 182) retrospectively reported on their experiences of parenting by lying in childhood, their…
In Two Minds
We examined Turkish participants' mindreading accuracy toward ingroup versus outgroup targets. Three hundred and fifty-four Turkish participants were randomly assigned to one of three target groups: Turkish, Syrian, or Norwegian. The mindreading accuracy for these targets was measured along with the perceived cultural similarity of the target to the ingroup, as well as prejudice and threat perception. Participants evidenced higher mindreading acc…
