Copyright © 2022 Lajunen and Gaygısız.Temperament refers to basic, largely inherited, relatively stable personality traits which have been present since early childhood. Considering the very fundamental role of temperament in human development and behaviour, it is reasonable to assume that temperament is also related to risky driving and drivers’ view of themselves as drivers. The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationships between Cloninger’s temperament dimensions, risky driving and drivers’ view of their perceptual motor and safety skills. The sample consisted of 335 Turkish drivers (aged 19–57; 53.7% men) who completed an Internet-based survey including Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI), Driver Behaviour Questionnaire (DBQ) and Driver Skill Inventory (DSI). Correlation analyses showed that TCI scale Cooperativeness correlated negatively with all DBQ scales indicating risky driving and positively with safety skills. In regression analyses after controlling age, gender and lifetime mileage, cooperativeness still was significantly related to all DBQ scales and safety skills. Persistence correlated negatively with ordinary violations, lapses and errors and positively with perceptual motor skills. In regression analyses, persistence was related to errors and lapses. Reward dependence was positively related to lapses and harm avoidance negatively to perceptual motor skills. The results of the present study indicate that largely innate temperament character traits may influence an individual’s predisposition to risky driving. Future studies about temperament and risky driving with larger samples allowing sub-group analyses are needed.

Perceived Parental Rearing Behaviours, Responsibility Attitudes and Life Events as Predictors of Obsessive Compulsive Symptomatology: Test of a Cognitive Model
HACIÖMEROĞLU, AYŞE BİKEM; Karancı, Ayşe Nuray (2014-11-01)
Background: It is important to investigate the role of cognitive, developmental and environmental factors in the development and maintenance of Obsessive Compulsive Symptomatology (OCS). Aims: The main objective of this study was to examine the vulnerability factors of OCS in a non-clinical sample. On the basis of Salkovskis' cognitive model of OCD, the study aimed to investigate the role of perceived parental rearing behaviours, responsibility attitudes, and life events in predicting OCS. Furthermore, the ...
Documentation panels: supporting young children’s self-regulatory and metacognitive abilities
Aras, Selda; Erden, Feyza (Informa UK Limited, 2020-01-01)
It is thought that our behavioural, social and intellectual development is fostered in early childhood alongside the acquisition of metacognitive and self-regulatory abilities. This qualitative investigation reports on how 11 children applied these skills via pedagogical documentation. Participant observation and interviews were used to gather data through documentation panel activities over a period of seven weeks. Data were coded and analysed with reference to the Cambridge Independent Learning (C.Ind.Le)...
Narrowing Perceptual Sensitivity to the Native Language in Infancy: Exogenous Influences on Developmental Timing
Elsabbagh , Mayada; Hohenberger, Annette; Campos, Ruth; Van Herwegen, Jo; Serres, Josette; de Schonen, Scania; Aschersleben, Gisa; Karmiloff-Smith, Annette (MDPI AG, 2013-2-6)
The infancy literature situates the perceptual narrowing of speech sounds at around 10 months of age, but little is known about the mechanisms that influence individual differences in this developmental milestone. We hypothesized that such differences might in part be explained by characteristics of mother-child interaction. Infant sensitivity to syllables from their native tongue was compared longitudinally to sensitivity to non-native phonemes, at 6 months and again at 10 months. We replicated previous fi...
Self-empowerment through making: exploring the involvement experiences of people with disabilities in designing and adapting assistive products
Canlar, Koray; Doğan, Çağla; Department of Industrial Design (2022-9-1)
The effects of disabilities can vary significantly between individuals (e.g., function and body structure problems, limitations, or prevention of involvement in activities). This variability in the needs of people with disabilities demands inclusive and universal design approaches and personalized assistive solutions which empower people with disabilities, allowing them to have more control over their actions and to participate in activities. The empowering potential of the maker movement and production act...
Familial and psychodynamic factors in the formation and transmission of personality disorder beliefs in young adults
Akıncı, İrem; Gençöz, Tülin; Department of Psychology (2020-11)
The main goal of this study is to investigate the psychodynamic factors (i.e., separation-individuation difficulties, proneness to shame and anger) and related familial dynamics (i.e., perceived parenting practices, role reversal experiences with parents, parental personality disorder beliefs) that contribute to the formation of distorted personality beliefs (i.e., "deprecating", "inflated", and "ambivalent") in young adults. In the first study, the psychometric characteristics of "Relationship with Parents...
