Quality of Colombian early childhood education: An exploratory study of teacher-child interactions
Escalante, E.; Acar, İbrahim Hakkı; Suárez, S.; Raikes, H.
Quality of adult-child relationships could be influence by children's individual characteristics such as temperament. The examination of the association between temperament and teacher-child relationship has been limited within Latino population. Does regulatory temperament moderate the association between reactive temperament and teacher-child relationships in the Colombian early childhood education environment? Global research studies highlight the importance of quality of relationships to promote quality of early childhood education (ECE). Colombian ECE national evaluation reported association among teachers' interactions and child outcomes. From the ecological perspective, the present study aimed to examine how child temperament contribute to the teacher-child relationships in Colombian ECE environments. The sample included 316 children (58.3% Girls) and their teachers. Data were collected using Student-Teacher Relationship Scale (STRS) and Child Behavior Questionnaire (CBQ). First, a confirmatory factor analysis of STRS for the Colombian sample was conducted. Second, regression analysis was conducted to determine the strength of the relationship between the variables. Results from regression analyses showed that children's negative affectivity predicted teacher-child closeness (b = .06, beta = .15, t = 2.46, p = .01). In addition, children's temperamental surgency predicted teacher-child conflict (b= .08, beta= .12, t = 1.97, p = .04). Results from the current study highlights the importance of children's temperament in their relationships with teachers in the Colombian early childhood education environment. Intervention programs targeting improvement of teachers-child relationships could consider child temperament as children establish different patterns of relationships with teachers depending on their temperament.

Construct validity and predictors of three-dimensional citizenship performance in Turkey
Ceylan, S.; Ergin, Canan
The current study examined the construct validity and predictors of the three-dimensional citizenship performance construct in employed samples in Turkey. Three independent studies were conducted. First, the face and content validity of the citizenship performance construct was examined in a sample of ten participants via semi-structured interviews. Second, the factor structure, discriminant validity, and internal consistency of citizenship performance were examined in a sample of 213 employees. Third, utilizing the target similarity model, the relationships of citizenship performance with personality variables, job involvement, job satisfaction, group cohesiveness, organizational justice, and organizational commitment were tested in a sample of 613 participants. Results provided psychometric support for the three-dimensional citizenship performance conceptualization and scale in the Turkish context. Theoretical and practical implications of the findings are discussed.

Speaking but not gesturing predicts motion event memory within and across languages
Bekke, M. t.; Özyürek, A.; Ünal, Ercenur
In everyday life, people see, describe and remember motion events. We tested whether the type of motion event information (path or manner) encoded in speech and gesture predicts which information is remembered and if this varies across speakers of typologically different languages. We focus on intransitive motion events (e.g., a woman running to a tree) that are described differently in speech and co-speech gesture across languages, based on how these languages typologically encode manner and path information (Kita & Özyürek, 2003; Talmy, 1985). Speakers of Dutch (n = 19) and Turkish (n = 22) watched and described motion events. With a surprise (i.e. unexpected) recognition memory task, memory for manner and path components of these events was measured. Neither Dutch nor Turkish speakers' memory for manner went above chance levels. However, we found a positive relation between path speech and path change detection: participants who described the path during encoding were more accurate at detecting changes to the path of an event during the memory task. In addition, the relation between path speech and path memory changed with native language: for Dutch speakers encoding path in speech was related to improved path memory, but for Turkish speakers no such relation existed. For both languages, co-speech gesture did not predict memory speakers. We discuss the implications of these findings for our understanding of the relations between speech, gesture, type of encoding in language and memory.
