Adolescence is an era of life that individuals grow up rapidly and experience changes. This rapid growth also leads teenagers to experience flows in their physical and psychological well-being and social relationships with their parents. The current study aimed to investigate the interplay of perceived positive parenting and negative affectivity regarding parental attachment security and the predictive roles of perceived parenting and parental attachment security for well-being and health-promoting behaviors among adolescents, cross-sectionally and longitudinally. The results showed the bidirectional positive associations between perceived positive parenting and attachment security cross-sectionally and longitudinally for mothers and fathers. It was also revealed that negative affectivity did not moderate the association between perceived positive parenting and attachment security. Furthermore, the predictive roles of positive parenting and attachment security were documented for well-being and health-promoting behaviors, with mother and father variables, respectively. The findings, limitations, contributions, and implications of the study were discussed concerning existing literature.

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 ...
UNDERSTANDING AND MEASURING NEIGHBORHOOD ATTACHMENT AND KNOWLEDGE OF CHILDREN IN İSTANBUL DEMİRKOL ÇAKAL, GİZEM; Severcan, Yücel Can; Urban Design in City and Regional Planning Department (2021-8-04) 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 ch...
Mediating role of self-regulation between parenting, attachment, and adjustment in middle adolescence Ulaşan Özgüle, Emine Tuna; Sümer, Nebi; Department of Psychology (2011) Adolescence is characterized as the transition period from childhood to adulthood and healthy adjustment invokes internal and external resources. The individual resources consist of the regulatory abilities, which are influenced by emotional family context. Emotional family context includes factors such as parenting, attachment quality to parents, and the level of marital conflict between parents. However, these three research areas have relatively remained separate from each other and the period of adolesc...
Predictors of conflicts on self care room management and chores among mother adolescent dyads Güneş, Seren; Kazak Berument, Sibel (null; 2015-03-19) Adolescence, an era of change, may bring conflict to families, especially to mother-adolescent dyads (MAD). As suggested in Robin & Foster (1989), the MAD conflict can be measured as quantity of issues. There can be different factors predicting quantity of conflicting issues (QCI) on behaviors related to self-care, room management, and chores, which were considered as main topics of conflicting issues for present study. The present study aimed to investigate the role of adolescents’ age and gender, adolesce...
Coping Styles of Older Adults Durak, Mithat; Şenol Durak, Emre; Doğan, Aysun; Halisçelik, Aziziye; Alpay, Figen; Özkan, Türker (2019-04-27) The life changes and developmental changes experienced by older adults require older adults to use different coping skills. The aim of the present study is to investigate the differences between gender and residence types on the coping styles of older adults. It is hypothesized that older men use active coping styles more than older women, and older women use passive coping styles more than older men. However, these main effects were qualified by an interaction with the residence type. With voluntary partic...
