The notion of place attachment starts to develop in childhood. However, the rapid urbanization processes endanger neighborhood knowledge of children and hence their attachment to their environments. The places are transforming quite fast with urbanization practices, but children cannot develop their place knowledge at the same pace. Although there is a growing deal of literature on place attachment of children in urban planning and design, there is a lack of empirical research linking place attachment of children to their place knowledge. This thesis employs a children-centered study approach to understand and measure the place knowledge of children through their cognitive maps and responses to a place attachment survey. It questions whether highly neighborhood-attached children mention a higher number of urban elements (e.g., paths, edges, nodes, districts, and landmarks) in their neighborhoods than lower neighborhood-attached children. To answer this question, the author used secondary data which were collected from 9-11-year-old children in a child-friendly city project in İstanbul. This thesis contributes to the existing literature by demonstrating that place knowledge of children changes according to contextual differences. Moreover, it shows an inverse relationship between place knowledge of children and neighborhood transformation levels. The correlation between place attachment and place knowledge is discussed. The thesis concludes with a discussion of the study findings for future research and urban design.

The Relationship Between Children's Neighborhood Attachment and Their Place Use: A Cross-Sectional Study in Ankara
Aşçı, Yağmur; Severcan, Yücel Can; Urban Design in City and Regional Planning Department (2022-7-07)
The positive and negative feelings about an environment begin at a very young age. The physical changes that we observe in neighborhood environments affect not only children's spatial behavior but also their psychological development. There are increasing concerns about the adverse effects of contemporary planning and design practices on children. However, far less is known empirically about how children’s neighborhood activities (in terms of types and intensity) are associated with children’s neighborhood ...
The Relationship Between Attachment Style in Romantic Relationship, Love Type, Emotional Expression and Life Satisfaction
Çoksan, Sami; Şahin, Seda Merve (2017-07-18)
Attachment style affects behaviors in adulthood as well as in childhood. Also it may affect many factors in adult life such as partner choices in romantic relationships, life satisfaction and emotional expression. For instance the life satisfaction of individuals who are securely attached to their partners is higher. Also it is thought that securely attached individuals seeking support as a way of coping with stressful situations will reflect their feelings more to find support although insecurely attached ...

The present dissertation is aimed towards examining whether the nanny-child relationship has an impact on the psychological well-being of cared child. In the first study, we have examined relationships among the coparenting dynamics between mothers and nannies, their sensitivities towards the child, and child well-being, through home-visit observation of the mother-nanny-child play interaction. In the second study, through administering an online survey in Turkey and UK, we have sought to explore mothers’ a...
Child Abuse/Neglect and Depressive Symptomatology: The Mediating Roles of Early Maladaptive Schemas
Ünal Elif ; Gençöz, Tülin (2019-01-01)
Recently, there has been a growing interest in identifying the mechanisms of how child abuse/neglect predicts the development of psychopathology in adulthood. In that respect, schema therapy explains the origin of psychopathology with early maladaptive schemas. This study aimed to explore the mediator roles of five different schema domains between child abuse/neglect and depressive symptomatology relationship in a university student sample. The sample of this study consisted of 414 undergraduate and graduat...
