Data were gathered by Experiences in Close Relationship Scale, Religious Coping Scale, and Multidimensional Mortality Awareness Measure. Positive religious coping was adversely related to avoidant and anxious attachments. When compared to anxious attachment, which was positively related to both negative religious coping and fear of death, avoidant attachment was not correlated with any of these variables. Fear of death correlated positively with negative religious coping. Furthermore, the link between anxious attachment and fear of death was partially mediated by negative religious coping. Findings imply that negative religious coping is important in the relationship between fear of death and anxious attachment.

The research was conducted on 284 (M age = 36.15, SD age = 8.34; 51.4% females) middle school teachers from 12 Turkish middle schools. The data were collected utilizing the School Culture Scale, Teachers' Sense of Efficacy Scale, Maslach Burnout Inventory and personal information form. Structural equation model was used to analyze whether school culture and self efficacy predicts teacher burnout or not. Findings showed that school culture dimensions of bureaucratic culture and task culture had a statistically significant positive association with efficacy for student engagement and efficacy for instructional strategies. Task culture had also a significant positive association with efficacy for classroom management. Although success culture was negatively associated with both emotional exhaustion and depersonalization, bureaucratic culture had a positive association with depersonalization. Efficacy for student engagement was negatively associated with emotional exhaustion. The results of this study support the importance of school culture for self-efficacy and burnout. The findings were discussed within the scope of burnout literature.

İnsanlar kişiliklerine göre farklı gruplar altında toplanabilmektedir. Yaşam doyumu, bireyin yaşamını olumlu değerlendirme derecesidir. Yaşamdan belirli beklentileri olan bireyin bu beklentilere ulaşabildiği ölçüde doyum aldığını söyleyebili-riz. Bu çalışmanın amacı, bireyin sahip olduğu kişilik özellikleri ile yaşam doyumu arasında anlamlı iliş-kiler olup olmadığının bir model kapsamında incelenmesidir. Cinsiyet değişkenine göre kişilik ve yaşam doyumu değişkenlerinin farklılaşıp farklılaşmadığı da ele alınmıştır. Çalışmaya 602 öğrenci gönüllü ola-rak katılmıştır. Veriler Boyutlandırılmış Beş Faktör Kişilik Envanteri, Yaşam Doyumu Ölçeği ve kişisel bilgi formu ile toplanmıştır.

Just as there is always beginning of life, there is also an end of it for all living species. Human being is the only species that is aware of their mortality. According to terror management theory (TMT), this awareness causes some sort of anxiety. Human being, by their nature, do not want to be worried and want to cope with the anxiety in different ways. This study aims to test belief in a just world, religious worldviews, and self-esteem within the framework of TMT hypotheses in both mortality salient (n = 104) and nonmortality salient (n = 102) organizations. In each organization, half of the participants were reminded about death (experimental condition) and the other half about toothache (control condition). The required data for this study were collected by utilizing Life Satisfaction Scale, The Multidimensional Mortality Awareness Measure, Positive and Negative Affect Schedule, Belief in a Just World Scale, Self-Esteem Scale, Religious Worldviews Scale, and personal information form. Results indicated that there are no significant differences for self-esteem and religious worldviews between mortality salient and nonmortality salient samples, whereas there are significant mean differences for personal/general belief in a just world. The findings of this study are discussed within the framework of TMT literature.

The objective of the present study was to examine the validity and reliability of the Muslim Spiritual Attachment Scale (M-SAS) in Turkish Muslim samples. In analyzing the data, three different samples of college students (N = 525, N = 341, and N = 47 respectively) were used. The validity and reliability of M-SAS were examined through exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, the internal consistency coefficient and the split-half reliability coefficient. Results supported a three-factor model of M-SAS with good reliability for the factors, and convergence with an alternative God Attachment measure. As a result, it may be concluded that M-SAS can be used as a valid and reliable measurement instrument in Turkish Muslim samples. The results are discussed in the light of the relevant literature.

Turner, felsefi ve teolojik özlemleriyle organik ve kültürel köprüler kuruyor: sonuç, bedenlerle –erotikten açlık çeken bedenlere, çalışandan arzulayan bedenlere– harmanlanan bir toplumun etkili bir analizi.
Anthony Elliott, Flinders University
Bryan Turner, kendimiz ve bedenlerimiz hakkında düşünme şeklimizde devrim yarattı. Bu baskı... daha fazla entelektüel büyüme ve gelişme göstermektedir; yenilikçi fikirler zaten klasik bir anlayışı haber vermektedir. İnsan bedeni hayatımızın en bariz materyalidir; bu kitap, yirmi birinci yüzyılda bedenin anlamları hakkındaki bilgimizi derinleştirmemize olanak sağlamakta ve kendimiz için sunduğumuz ve kendimiz için inşa ettiğimiz olasılıkların (hem olumsuz hem de olumlu) eksiksiz ve özgürleştirici bir açıklamasını sunmaktadır.
Mary Evans, London School of Economics
Bu, beden sosyolojisini meşru bir araştırma alanı olarak yeniden açtığını iddia edebilecek bir kitabın tamamen revize edilmiş bir sürümüdür. Her bölümü revize edilmiş ve güncellenmiş olan, konunun tüm yönleri için eşsiz bir rehberlik sağlayan bu kitapta, alandaki son değişiklikleri ve Turner’ın kırılganlığın merkeziliği üzerindeki gelişimini yansıtan yeni materyaller bulacaksınız.
Kendinden emin ve yenilikçi olan bu kitap, alanın önde gelen yazarlarından birinin beden sosyolojisi üzerine en yetkili çalışma bildirisini sunmaktadır.
İkinci basım için övgü:
“Bu kitap, bedenin ve bedensel deneyimin sağladığı açıklamaların yeniden değerlendirilmesine ve eleştirel olarak karşılaştırılmasına yardımcı olacak şekilde yazılmış sosyal ve sosyolojik düşünceyi teşvik edici bir genel bakış sunuyor... Bu da değerli ve düşündürücü bir kitap olmasını sağlıyor.” –Medical Sociology News
“Analizi zorlayıcı olmaya devam ediyor... Kitap ilginç, iyi yazılmış ve güncel” –Health

Psikoloji bilimi insan davranışlarını incelerken bireyi toplumsal bağlamından ayrı olarak düşünemez çünkü bireyin yalnız olarak gerçekleştirdiği davranışları ile grup içerisindeki davranışları farklılık gösterebilmektedir. Bu nedenle, bireyin grup içerisindeki davranışları birey hakkında önemli çıkarımlarda bulunmamızı sağlamaktadır.

Yerli ve yabancı alanyazın incelendiğinde "Grup Dinamikleri ve Süreçleri” ile ilgili sınırlı sayıda akademik kaynağın olması beni bu kitabı yazmaya yönlendirmiştir. Kitabın yazılmasındaki amaç az da olsa yerli alanyazındaki bu eksikliği gidermeye çalışmaktır. Bu amaç kapsamında kitap 8 temel bölüm ve her bir bölüm kendi içerisinde alt bölümlerden oluşmaktadır.
