    The longitudinal associations among temperament, parenting, and Turkish children's prosocial behaviors
    (Wiley, 2017-06-19) Laible, D. J.; Kumru, Asiye; Carlo, G.; Streit, C.; Selcuk, B.; Sayil, M.; Psychology; KUMRU, Asiye
    In Turkey, responsive behaviors toward kin are expected from children. Despite this, we know little about the factors that influence young Turkish children's prosocial behaviors. The goal was to explore how temperament and parenting are related to children's prosocial development in Turkey. A total of 293 Turkish children (Mage = 49 months; 48.12% females) were followed up for 3 years. Mothers completed measures of their child's prosocial behaviors, as well as measures of their warmth, inductive reasoning, and the child's approach and reactivity. Maternal warmth predicted children's reactivity, and maternal induction predicted children's sociability. Children's reactivity was inversely related to children's helping behavior and sociability was related to more prosocial behavior. Maternal warmth had indirect links with helping through lessening children's reactivity.

    Longitudinal relations among parenting daily hassles, child rearing, and prosocial and aggressive behaviors in Turkish children
    (Wiley, 2018-02) Gülseven, Z.; Carlo, G.; Streit, C.; Kumru, Asiye; Selçuk, B.; Sayıl, M.; Psychology; KUMRU, Asiye
    The present study was designed to examine the longitudinal relations between parenting daily hassles and young children's later prosocial and aggressive behaviors, as well as the mediating role of parenting practices in a non‐Western society. The final sample was 159 middle class Turkish school age children (45.3% girls, Mage= 84.69 months, 76.9% from public school, 23.1% from private school in Bolu, Ankara, and İstanbul) and their mothers. Overall, we found longitudinal evidence that parenting daily hassles, warmth, and physical punishment were significantly and differentially associated with children's prosocial and aggressive behaviors 3 years later. The present findings extend our understanding of the interplay of parenting and stress in predicting children's prosocial and aggressive development in a non‐Western culture.
