Çocukların Gözünden Ayıp Kavramsallaştırmasının ve İlgili Ahlaki Duyguların Sosyal Alan Kuramı Çerçevesinde İncelenmesi
(2023) Çelikadam, Canan; Balım, Sercan; Aktaş, Büşra; Aykac, Bahar; Karasu, Mehmet; Cesur, Sevim
Bu çalışmanın amacı Türkçede farklı bağlamlarda sıkça kullanılan fakat psikoloji alan yazınında yeterince incelenmemiş ayıp kavramının çocukluk döneminde nasıl kavramsallaştırıldığını keşifsel olarak incelemektir. Bu amaçla ayıp kavramının Turiel’in (1983) Sosyal Alan Kuramı çerçevesinde hangi sosyal alan bağlamında daha fazla tanımlandığı ve hangi duygularla ilişkili olduğu ortaya koyulmaya çalışılmıştır. Araştırmanın örneklemini Türkiye’nin farklı bölgelerinde yaşayan 7 ile 15 yaş aralığındaki (Ort= 10.12, SS= 1.55) 63 kadın ve 62 erkek olmak üzere toplam 125 çocuk oluşturmaktadır. Çocuklarla yapılan görüşmelerde açık uçlu sorulan sorulardan elde edilen bulgulara göre çocukların ayıp kavramını hem ahlaki hem de uzlaşımsal alanlarda değerlendirdikleri; bu değerlendirmeleri daha çok ‘zarar verme /zarardan kaçınma’ ve ‘erdemli olmayan davranışlar’ ile ‘toplumsal kuralların ihlal edilmesi’ ve ‘cinsel ihlaller ve çıplaklık’ üzerinden ifade ettikleri görülmektedir. Ayıp olarak değerlendirilen durum ve davranışlara ahlaki alanda daha çok öfke ve utanç duygularının, uzlaşımsal alanda ise daha çok tiksinme duygusunun eşlik ettiği görülmektedir. Sonuçlar bir bütün olarak değerlendirildiğinde, çocuklar için ayıp kavramının yazılı olmayan kurallar gibi işleyen, kişilerarası ilişkileri ve sosyal düzeni sürdürmeye yarayan; öfke, utanç, suçluluk ve tiksinme gibi duygularla yakından ilişkili bir kavram olduğu görülmektedir.
Değerlerin Belirlenmesi Testinin Güvenirlik ve Geçerlik Çalışması ve Yaş, Eğitim, Cinsiyet ve Ebeveyn Eğitiminin Ahlaki Gelişim ile İlişkisi
(2010) Topcu, Mustafa Sami; Cesur, Sevim
Bu çalışmanın temel amacı, ahlaki gelişim alanında çok önemli bir yere sahip olan Defining Issues Test (DIT) isimli ölçüm aracının geçerlik ve güvenirlik çalışmaları sonucu, Türkiye’deki eğitim ve psikoloji alanındaki araştırma topluluğuna kazandırılmasıdır. İkinci amaç ise bazı değişkenlerle (yaş, cinsiyet, eğitim durumu vs.) ahlaki gelişimin ilişkisini incelemektir. Çalışma grubunu üç farklı üniversiteden, 584 gönüllü katılımcı oluşturmaktadır. Veri toplama aracı olarak DIT’in, Değerleri Belirleme Testi (DBT) olarak yapılan çevirisi kullanılmıştır. Ölçekten Kişisel Kazanç, Normların Korunması ve Uzlaşım Sonrası olmak üzere üç şema puanı elde edilebilmektedir. DBT’den elde edilen şemaların Cronbach alfa ve test-tekrar test katsayıları .53 ile .60 arasında değişmektedir. Geçerlik bakımından da ölçeğin yüz-görünüş ve içerik geçerliği sağlanmıştır. Ayrıca, ahlaki gelişimin belirlenen bazı değişkenlerle (yaş, eğitim, cinsiyet ve ebeveyn eğitimi) nasıl bir ilişki içinde olduğu da çalışmanın bulgular kısmında belirtilmiştir.

Exploring Time Appropriation: Development and Validation of the Time Appropriation Scale
(Springer, 2025) Karasu, Mehmet; Cesur, Sevim; Gurluk, Yilmaz Orhun
Appropriation involves rendering foreign and uncontrollable elements familiar and meaningful. This study introduces the novel concept of time appropriation, defined as transforming uncontrollable temporal segments into personally meaningful experiences and allocation of that temporal segment to oneself. We investigate this concept through three distinct studies. In Study 1, a qualitative study involving 15 participants, we used in-depth interviews to explore the intricacies and dimensions of time appropriation, identifying themes that emerged from participants' descriptions via template analysis. Template analysis enables the identification of recurring patterns within and across participants, providing a flexible yet structured approach. Studies 2 and 3, with 371 and 988 participants respectively, focus on developing and validating a measurement tool for this concept, by survey methods to collect quantitative data ensuring statistical reliability and validity. Qualitative findings from Study 1 reveal that time appropriation encompasses dimensions such as identification, meaning, emotion, ownership, transformativeness, sociability, and the physical environment. Participants strongly identify with and find unique meanings in their appropriated time, generally experiencing positive emotions. However, emotional experiences varied among participants; while many reported positive emotions like satisfaction and contentment, a few described more complex feelings, suggesting that the emotional impact of time appropriation may not be uniformly positive but rather context dependent. Our participants exhibit high ownership and control, using these periods for psychological renewal and transformation within specific social and physical environments characterized by comfort and strong bonds. Quantitative results from Studies 2 and 3 demonstrate the successful development of the time appropriation scale, which includes key dimensions such as self-discipline, spontaneity, and inwardness. To ensure the scale's reliability and validity, we applied factor analysis to identify the underlying structure and utilized Cronbach's alpha and McDonald's omega to establish internal consistency. Self-regulation, the satisfaction with life scale, Turkish subjective happiness scale, authenticity scale, and the meaning in life questionnaire were used in validity studies. The scale exhibits robust psychometric properties, confirming its validity and reliability. This research highlights the distinctiveness of time appropriation compared to other time-related concepts in the literature, such as time work, leisure, and time perspective. While the findings underscore the utility of the time appropriation scale, some limitations, such as the use of snowball sampling techniques as well as criterion sampling in the first study, the reliance on self-reported data in the second and third studies and the need to examine diverse cultural contexts should also be addressed. We discuss the theoretical implications, psychometric properties, and potential applications of the time appropriation scale.
The Relationships Between Appropriating Public Spaces and Temporal Experience: a Transactional Exploratory Study
(Istanbul Univ, Fac Letters, dept Sociology, 2023) Karasu, Mehmet; Cesur, Sevim
The aim of this study is (1) to examine how space appropriation takes place and (2) to explore the relationships between the differences in space appropriation and temporal experience. The sample consists of 14 participants (six females and eight males) in Van, T & uuml;rkiye who were reached using the criterion sampling and snowball sampling methods. Semi-structured in-depth interviews were analyzed through a template analysis. The results show that space appropriation to consist of the sub-aspects of identification, meaning, emotion, ownership, familiarity, usage features, transformativeness, orientation, space rhythm, sociability, and physical environment, which are covered by the following four aspects of transactional unity: psychological processes, temporal qualities, social environment, and physical environment. The patterns of public space usage are shaped according to the orientations toward these spaces. These patterns were gathered under two themes: functionalists and emotionally attached individuals. When considering the relationships between appropriation and the perceived passage of time, time is perceived to pass slowly when appropriation functions with the role of increasing the density of experience per standard temporal unit. Time is perceived as passing quickly if appropriation functions with the role of reducing the intensity of experience per standard temporal unit. Time is perceived to flow normally (i.e., have synchronicity) when appropriation helps to keep the density of experience per standard temporal unit at a normal level. These results highlight appropriation to have a multifaceted and dynamic structure that allows for a variety of experiences. This also indicates appropriation to function according to the complex relationships among the four aspects of transactional unity.
A Reliability and Validity Study of the Defining Issues Test: the Relationship of Age, Education, Gender and Parental Education With Moral Development
(Edam, 2010) Cesur, Sevim; Topcu, Mustafa Sami
The aim of the study is twofold: First and main aim was to develop a valid and reliable Turkish version of the Du which is one of the most important instruments in the psychology and education research; second is to explore the relationships between moral development and age, gender, education, and parental education. The study group consists of 584 volunteer participants from three universities. As an instrument of the present study, developed and validated Turkish version of the DIT which is "Degerleri Belirleme Testi (DBT)" was used. Three schemas, personal interests, maintaining norms, and post conventional, were obtained from the instrument. For three schemas obtained from the DIT, the values of Cronbach's alpha and test-retest correlation coefficients change in the range of .53 to .60. Face and content validity of the DIT were also provided. The relationships between moral development and other selected variables (age, education, gender, and parental education) were presented in the findings section.
