Publication Investigating the relationship between anxiety and emotional intelligence with regard to online privacy(Istanbul Univ, 2018-01-01) Yabancı, Cemile; Akça, Figen; AKÇA, FİGEN; Ulutaş, Emrah; Eğitim Fakültesi; AAG-8429-2021This study was conducted as a relational screening model to investigate whether university students' anxiety and emotional intelligence levels with regard to online privacy are significantly related to various variables. The study group for this research consisted of 442 university students (147 females and 295 males) studying at Bursa Uludag University Faculty of Education in the 2017-2018 academic year. The data collection tools used included the Online Privacy Anxiety Scale, the Schutte Emotional Intelligence Scale-33-Tr, and the demographic information questionnaire. In order to investigate the differences in gender variables in our analyses, we used the Mann-Whitney U test with T-test. To analyze the variances in groups with more than two numbers, we used the Kruskal-Wallis test with one way variance analysis (ANOVA). Correlation analysis was performed using the Spearman Sequential Differences correlation analysis. As a result of the analysis of differentiation, we found that the level of anxiety for university students with regard to using e-mail was significantly different according to the comments on social media sharing and the changes in social life. We also found that the level of online trust anxiety was significantly different depending on the social recognition of the right people and age. We determined that the levels of emotional intelligence of university students were significantly different according to the variables of age and academic achievement perception. As a result of the correlation analyses, we found no significant relationship between university students' levels of emotional intelligence and anxiety with regard to online privacy.Publication The cartoon characters with the greatest influence on preschool children and the digital dangers they can be exposed to while identifying with these characters(Turkish Green Crescent Soc, 2019-06-01) Akça, Figen; AKÇA, FİGEN; Çilekçiler, Nuray Koç; Eğitim Fakültesi; AAI-1148-2021; AAG-8429-2021This study examines the cartoons preschool children view the most and the cartoon characters these children want and don't want to be, as well as the possible digital dangers these children could be exposed to during the identification process. The first part of the study is done with 182 children between 4-6 years old studying in various kindergartens and preschools in Bursa province. For the second part of the study, qualitative analysis has been conducted with 20 children selected using typical case sampling. This study uses the hybrid model, which consists of qualitative and quantitative methods. Data for the quantitative part of the study has been obtained through the Survey for Children about Cartoons which created by authors and for the qualitative part of the study through semi-structured interview questions. The validity and reliability studies of the survey were conducted. The opinions of the academicians who are experts in the fields of pre-school and psychological counseling have been consulted for content validity of the survey. The cartoon characters which children choose role models and the reasons why they choose these characters have been examined according to the gender variable. According to the findings, 53% of children watch cartoons such as Pepee, Rafadan Tayfa, Harika Kanatlar, Niloya, Karlar Ulkesi. While girls want to be characters such as Elsa and Bloom, boys want to be characters such as Jett and Spiderman. The qualitative findings show that children mostly consider themes such as physical appearance, supernatural abilities, gender, and the positive and the negative emotional states related to the character while selecting one.Publication The mediating role of gratitude in the relationship between self-efficacy and psychological resilience in elderly individuals: The case of Malatya(İstanbul Üniversitesi, 2022-01-01) Özkan, Murat Sinan; Akça, Figen; Özkan, Murat Sinan; AKÇA, FİGEN; Eğitim Fakültesi; Rehberlik ve Psikolojik Danışmanlık Bölümü; INP-1339-2023; AAG-8429-2021The old-age period can be seen as an important experience point in the psychological resilience process. In this sense, the high levels of gratitude and self-efficacy of elderly individuals increase their psychological resilience. This study aimed to examine the gratitude, self-efficacy, and psychological resilience levels of elderly individuals. In addition, the study investigated whether the variables differ according to gender. 78 female (39%) and 122 male (61%) elderly individuals participated in the study. Brief Psychological Resilience Scale (BPRS), General Self-Efficacy Scale, and Gratitude Scales were applied to 200 participants in the Elderly Care Center. In this analysis using a relational screening model, the mediator role analysis of Baron and Kenny was performed to determine the mediator effect of life satisfaction together with a t-test. The findings of the study showed that there is a positive relationship between self-efficacy, gratitude, and psychological resilience. The gratitude was determined to have a mediating role in the relationship between the participants' self-efficacy and psychological resilience. Accordingly, developing the gratitude and self-efficacy skills of the elderly people in elderly care centers or carrying out activities related to this may be beneficial. Thus, it would be appropriate to conduct programs that focus more on self-efficacy and gratitude as two important conditions for preserving the psychological resilience of the elderly.
