The Role of Temperamental Characteristics in Growth Rates of Theory of Mind
Attachment of toddlers in care with the moderating role of temperament
Due to adverse circumstances in institutional care settings, institutionalized children are at risk of developing insecure attachment types and attachment disorders. The current study examined the role of institutionalization on attachment by comparing children residing in institutions with children in foster care and never‐institutionalized children living in Türkiye. Further, the moderating role of children's temperamental characteristics (i.e.…
Parental psychological control and adolescents’ cyberbullying
Intergenerational transmission of psychopathology
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…
School Readiness of Turkish Children Living in Poverty
Research Findings: The present study examined the relationship between poverty (income-to-needs ratio [INR], parent education, material hardship, and food insecurity) and children’s school readiness (vocabulary, mathematic skills, and phonological awareness) through the mediating roles of stimulation and chaos in the home environment, maternal depression, and perceived maternal rejection. Participants were 5-year-old children (N = 184) and their …
The role of temperament and parenting on anxiety problems among toddlers
Anxiety problems are seen as early as 1–2 years of age. Among others, parenting and child temperament are considered as the most important factors affecting anxiety in early childhood. In the current study, the unique roles of parenting (maternal overprotectiveness and warmth) and temperament (behavioral inhibition and negative emotionality), parenting‐temperament interactions, and mediating role of ambivalent attachment between behavioral inhibi…
Temperament moderates the effects of early deprivation on infant attention
Institutional care has been shown to increase the risk of attention problems in children, but some children are more sensitive to their environment, both for better and for worse. With this in mind, the current study examined the moderating role of temperament (falling reactivity) between early adversity and attention skills. Six‐ to 15‐month‐old infants residing in institutions ( n = 63) and infants reared by their biological families from low s…
Self-concept development of children in institutional care, alternative care types and biological family homes
The first aim of the study was to examine the differences in self-concept development of children residing in institutions, care villages, group homes, foster care, or with biological families (low socioeconomic status [SES] and middle SES). The second aim was to investigate children’s susceptibility to these environmental variations from a differential susceptibility theory perspective tested by temperamental characteristics. Self-concept in thr…
Factors Influencing Children's Appraisals of Interparental Conflict
The cognitive contextual model proposes that children's appraisals of interparental conflict (IPC) can influence their adjustment. In addition, previous research revealed that interparental disputes may reflect on parent-child relationship that is linked with children's self-blame and threat appraisals concerning IPC. However, there is a scarcity of research directly addressing the intervening role of the parent-child relationship on children's a…
Environmental Enrichment and Caregiver Training to Support the Development of Birth to 6‐Year‐Olds in Turkish Orphanages
The aim of the present study was to develop an intervention program involving environmental enrichment and caregiver training to improve the language and cognitive development of infants and young children residing in institutional settings in Turkey. Results indicated that institutional care quality was significantly improved in the intervention institutions, but remained unchanged in the control institutions. Furthermore, while the cognitive an…
