In this study, it is aimed to determine which social support systems respectively preferred by students to meet their basic needs. The research was conducted with 347 university students from Sakarya University Faculty of Education, 243 of whom were female and 104 of whom were male. A ranking chart was used to determine the rank of fulfilment of the five basic needs of the students, as in the Maslow's hierarchy of needs, (physiological, safety, love and belonging, esteem, and self-actualization), by social support systems (family, relatives, friends, teacher-school, and society). The data was analyzed by rank order judgment scaling. As a result of the research, it was found that university students regard family as the primary social support system in meeting all their needs (physiological, safety, love and belonging, esteem, and self-actualization). The ranking does not change in meeting the needs of safety, love and belonging, and esteem; in meeting the physiological needs, it was observed that relatives are preferred more than friends. Another finding of the research is that in meeting the need for self-actualization, relatives are preferred the least.

Today the world is suffering from coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic illness, and people all around the world stay at home due to its rapid spread. People including students gather information and government instructions through TVs, social media and others around them. Since the classes were canceled in many countries, the novel coronavirus affects students’ interest in coursework. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of TV news, social media and communication with people on interest in coursework, and mediating roles of fear of contamination, depression, and anxiety on these effects. A path analysis was carried out with the data collected from 773 college students. The results showed that interest in coursework was most strongly affected by communication with people. This was due to its direct and indirect effects. Social media and TV News did not directly affect interest in coursework, but indirectly affected. The study also found that among the three mediator variables, the mediator roles of anxiety was bigger than the others. Understanding the findings of this research has become very important to us, especially at a time when face-to-face lessons have been canceled all over the world and transitioned to online education. Specific recommendations for practitioners and limitations for future research were also provided in the study.

The main purpose of the study is to determine whether the level of emotional expression is a predictor of psychological symptoms. The study was performed with 338 participants, including 170 women and 168 men. Data were collected by “Expressing Feelings Scale” and “SCL-90 Symptom Checklist-90-Revised”. Data was analyzed with Pearson product moment correlation coefficient and regression analysis was performed. According to results, emotional expression was significantly related to psychological symptoms. While the levels of emotional expression have increased, psychological symptoms have decreased. The levels of psychological symptoms was predicted significantly by emotional expression. Finally, emotional expression predicted higher levels of somatization and lower levels of phobic anxiety.

Bu araştırmanın amacı, ilkokul düzeyindeki öğrencilerin sürekli kaygı düzeyleri ile yetkinlik düzeyleri ve üzüntü yönetim becerileri arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesidir. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu Muğla İli Bodrum İlçesindeki bir İlkokul bünyesindeki 2. 3. ve 4. sınıf öğrencileri 105 kız öğrenci ve 106 erkek öğrenci olmak üzere toplam 211 öğrenci oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmada veriler için Sürekli Kaygı ölçeği (Öner ve Le Compte, 1985; Spielberger, Gorsuch ve Luschene, 1970) , Çocuklar için Öz-Yeterlik Ölçeği (Muris, 2001; Telef ve Karaca, 2012) ve Üzüntü Yönetimi Ölçeği (Akın ve diğ., 2014; Zeman, Shipman ve Penza-Clyve, 2001) kullanılmıştır. Verilerin istatistiksel analizi için Pearson Momentler Çarpımı Korelasyonu, t-testi ve yapısal eşitlik modeli kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda, üzüntü yönetiminin yetkinliği, yetkinliğin de sürekli kaygıyı anlamlı düzeyde açıkladığı bulunmuştur. Ayrıca üzüntü yönetiminin sürekli kaygıyı anlamlı düzeyde açıklamadığı fakat üzüntü yönetiminin sürekli kaygıyı yetkinlik inancı üzerinden yordadığı belirlenmiştir. Bunun yanı sıra araştırmada kullanılan kavramlar cinsiyet değişkeni açısından değerlendirildiğinde anlamlı bir fark bulunmamıştır. Bulgular alan yazın ışığında tartışılmıştır. Gelecek çalışmalar ve alan çalışanları için önerilerde bulunulmuştur The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between levels of self-efficacy, skills to sadness management, and trait anxiety of primary school students. Study group of the research consists of 211, which consists of 105 female, 106 male, 2nd, 3rd and 4th grade students in a Primary School. Trait Anxiety Scale (Öner & Le Compte, 1985; Spielberger et al., 1970), Self-Efficacy Scale for Children (Muris, 2001; Telef & Karaca, 2012) and Sadness Management Scale (Akın et al., 2014; Zeman, Shipman & Penza-Clyve, 2001) were used to collect data. Data analysis methods are Pearson Product Moment Correlation, t-test and structural equation model. As a result, sadness management explains self-efficacy; self-efficacy explains trait anxiety at significance level. Also, sadness management does not explain trait anxiety at significant level but sadness management predict trait anxiety over self-efficacy. There isn’t found any significant difference for gender. The findings are discussed in terms of literature. Suggestions for academicians and field workers are stated in the text
