Studies have shown that institutional care settings are characterized by high child-to-caregiver ratios, multiple shifts, frequent changes of caregivers and as a consequence, children have no opportunity to have a reciprocal interaction with a caregiver (Bakermans-Kranenburg et al., 2011; Smyke, Zeanah, Fox, Nelson, & Guthrie, 2010). As a result of these adverse conditions and environment, children in institutional care have been found to be at a high risk for emotional difficulties such as attachment problems, disorganized attachment formation and developing indiscriminate friendliness (Roy, Rutter, & Pickles, 2000; Dobrova-Krol, Bakermans-Kranenburg, van Ijzendoorn, & Juffer, 2010; Zeanah et al., 2005 ).

Day care quality and children's social competence Micozkadioglu, II; Kazak Berument, Sibel (2003-06-01) In the present study, the effects of structural quality of day care centers on the social competence of children were investigated. 101 6-year-old children were chosen from the 13 different day care centers. Their social competencies were evaluated by teachers' ratings and peer nominations. The results indicated that after considering family education level and length of day care attendance, with respect to teacher ratings, negative interactions with peers were significantly predicted by group size and squa...
Predictive values of social support,coping styles and stress level in posttraumatic growth and burnout levels among the parents of children with autism Elçi, Özcan; Karancı, Ayşe Nuray; Department of Psychology (2004) The purpose of the present study was to examine the predictive power of some demographic variables and ways of coping, social support and perceived stress level in predicting burnout and posttraumatic growth levels of parents who have a child with autism. Data was collected by administering a socio-demographic form and four self-report questionnaires. These were the Questionnaire on Resources and Stress Short Form (QRS), Posttraumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI), Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Suppo...
Psychological adjustment of children with spastic cerebral palsy Aytolun, Nilay; Bozo Özen, Özlem; Department of Psychology (2009) The aim of the present study was to examine the predictive values of sociodemographic variables, parental variables (parental stress, family functioning, parental adjustment, coping methods), and child variables (coping methods, self concept) for the adjustment of children with spastic cerebral palsy. Transactional stress and coping model was used as the conceptual framework for the study. The sample of the study was composed of 80 children with spastic cerebral palsy and one of their parents. Hierarchical ...
Cognitive development of infants in institutional care settings, comparison with the low and high-SES family groups. Ertekin, Zeynep; Kazak Berument, Sibel; Gunnar, Megan (null; 2019-09-01) Research findings have indicated that children who were reared in institutions (e.g. orphanages) increasingly lag behind in cognitive development the longer they are in institutional care (Colvert et al., 2008; Smyke et al., 2007). Most of the studies were carried out with the previously institutionalized children. However, there is less study of infant’s development who are currently residing in institutions. Therefore, the aim of the current study is to compare cognitive development of infants currently i...
Evaluation of Whole Genome Association Study Data in Bipolar Disorders: Potential Novel SNPs and Genes CENGİZ HAN, Açıkel; Aydın Son, Yeşim; ÇELİK, Cemil; RECEP, Tütüncü (2015-03-01) Objective: As a result of studies of multifactorial conditions, genetic, physiological and environmental factors, the overall heritability of bipolar disorders has been estimated to be up to 70%. In this study, an analysis of genome-wide association study data using data mining algorithms has revealed single-nucleotide polymorphisms that may be the basis for the molecular etiology of bipolar disorders.
