In the present study, it was aimed to examine how children evaluate social inclusion in context of gender. In total, 150 children were recruited. Along with the two vignettes about a boy and a girl who both want to be part of a ballet group, these children were presented with two study conditions as having equal and unequal qualifications. In order to assess their decisions, children were asked whom to include, the girl or the boy, into the ballet group. Later on, they were also asked for the justifications of their decisions. According to the results, children included the girl more frequently and made more stereotyping justifications in the equal qualifications. In the unequal qualifications condition, they chose the boy, who is better at ballet, by referring the group functioning. Age differences were found in the equal qualifications condition. While 10-year-olds were more likely to choose the girl in the vignette by referring to stereotyping justifications, 13-year-olds were more likely to choose the boy in the vignette by making moral justifications. This study provides important insights by shedding light on how gender roles influence children's social evaluations, and contributes to the literature by being the first study examining related judgments in the context of Turkish culture.

Individual differences in statistics anxiety among college students Baloğlu, Mustafa (Elsevier BV, 2003-04-01) The present study investigated differences in statistics anxiety levels based on students' gender and age. Using the statistics anxiety scores of 246 college students, a 2 x 3 between-subjects factorial multivariate analysis of covariance was performed on the six dependent variables (worth of statistics, interpretation anxiety, test and class anxiety, computational self-concept, fear of asking for help, and fear of statistics teachers) that were hypothesized to be six dimensions of statistics anxiety. Indep...
Who is the Parent? Predictors of 12-year-olds' Parentification Behaviors Iplikci, Ayse Busra; Şahin Acar, Başak (Turk Psikologlar Dernegi, 2019-01-01) The aim of this study was to examine the moderator role of gender on predicting the relationship between children’s self-construal and parentification. We hypothesized that children’s relational self-construal would predict their emotional parentification and independent self-construal would predict their instrumental parentification behaviors. We also hypothesized that this relationship would be significant for girls, but not for boys. 156 participants (78 mother-child pairs) were recruited for this study....
Preferences and expectations of innovator-ritualist types in relation to sex of university students in a Turkish sample Öner Özkan, Bengi (SAGE Publications, 2000-08-01) The aim of ihis study was whether there is a prevailing representation of Innovators versus Ritualists which differs in both expected frequency and preference of the types for the two sexes. 213 Turkish undergraduate students were given Ritualist and Innovator vignettes in a random order and asked to state the expected frequency of the vignettes if each described a male or female. In addition to this, they stated their preferences for each sex in vignettes. Analysis showed that women are expected more frequ...
Visual perspective in causal attribution, empathy and attitude change Onder, OM; Öner Özkan, Bengi (SAGE Publications, 2003-12-01) The aim of the present study was to test the effect of visual perspective on the actor-observer bias. For this aim, we examined the effects of different visual perspectives on individuals' external and internal attributions. In addition to this, we examined the presence or absence of an attitude change toward the death penalty due to participants' visual perspective. One week before the experiment, we measured the participants' attitudes toward the death penalty. Then, during the experiment, films produced ...
Known-groups validity of the translated version of self-monitoring: A comparison of conservatoire students and university students Öner Özkan, Bengi (SAGE Publications, 2007-06-01) The aim of this study was to test the known-groups validity of the Turkish translation of Snyder's 1974 Self-monitoring Scale by administering a translated version to 151 first-year university students (85 men, 66 women) and 39 first year conservatoire students from the School of Theatre (18 men, 21 women). The mean score of the latter group was higher than the mean for regular university students. The finding was regarded as an indicator of known-groups validity.
