Lay explanations for poverty in Turkey and their determinants Morcol, G (Informa UK Limited, 1997-12-01) The external and internal causal attributions for poverty in Turkey were examined in an exploratory survey. Factor analysis results confirmed Feagin's 3 conceptual categories (1975) of explanations for poverty: structural, fatalistic, and individualistic. Income, gender, age, and education were important determinants of explanations for poverty. All income groups favored structural (external) explanations. Poor persons preferred more tangible structural explanations, and nonpoor persons gave more abstract s...
Actual, ideal, and expected relatedness with parents across and within cultures İmamoğlu, Emine Olcay; Karakitaplu-Aygun, Zahide (Wiley, 2006-09-01) Differences in actual, ideal, and expected relatedness with mothers and fathers were explored across two cultural groups (i.e., university students from the U.S. and Turkey) in Study 1, and across two socioeconomic status (SES) groups (i.e., high school students from the upper and lower SES in Turkey) in Study 2. In both studies associations of perceived relatedness with individualistic and collectivistic value orientations as well as with self-construal types were also explored. Results indicated cultural ...

Results indicated a significant crowding effect for interpersonal distance but not for density. In Study 2, data from ...
Direct and indirect effects of social support on psychological well-being Gençöz, Tülin (Scientific Journal Publishers Ltd, 2004-01-01) The aim of this study was to investigate the direct and indirect effects of social support on psychological well-being. Social support was evaluated under two different categories which were named as Aid-Related and Appreciation-Related Social Support. The first category was more related to potential for receiving help from others when needed, and being cared for by others, while the latter category was more related to being recognized by others as an efficient source of help and reassurance of worth. Under...
FACTORS AFFECTING RELATIONSHIPS OF TURKISH ADOLESCENTS WITH PARENTS AND SAME-SEX FRIENDS HORTACSU, N; ORAL, A; YASAKGULTEKIN, Y (Informa UK Limited, 1991-06-01) The present study attempted to investigate the differences between Turkish late adolescents' relationships with their parents and friends by using Armsden and Greenberg's (1987) scales for measuring attachment. In addition, an attempt at determining predictors of different aspects of attachment was made. The findings were that (a) similar dimensions of attachment emerged from a factor analysis of Turkish data when compared with Armsden and Greenberg's factors, (b) the data provide evidence for the argument ...
