Article The Impact of Perceived Family Social Support on Life Satisfaction Among Older Adults in Türkiye During Covid-19: Mediating Roles of Loneliness and Coping Strategies(Oxford Univ Press, 2025) Aslan, Yavuz; Kocak, Orhan; Department of Child Development / Çocuk Gelişimi BölümüThis study investigates the relationships between perceived family social support, loneliness, coping strategies, and life satisfaction among older adults in T & uuml;rkiye during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, focusing on the mediating roles of loneliness and coping strategies. Using a cross-sectional design, the study collected data from 501 participants. The data were analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling. The findings reveal that perceived family social support is positively associated with both coping strategies and life satisfaction and negatively associated with loneliness. In addition, loneliness was found to negatively impact life satisfaction, while coping strategies had a positive effect. Furthermore, loneliness and coping strategies significantly mediate the relationship between perceived family social support and life satisfaction. These results provide essential insights for social workers and policymakers, emphasizing the importance of supportive family environments to improve the well-being of older adults. This study delves into the crucial role of perceived family social support in enhancing life satisfaction among older adults in T & uuml;rkiye during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. By exploring the mediating effects of coping strategies and loneliness, the research offers valuable insights into how social support can mitigate the negative impacts of the pandemic on the elderly population. The findings highlight the importance of family involvement and targeted interventions in improving the overall well-being of older adults during challenging times.Article Citation - WoS: 0Citation - Scopus: 0Psychological Resilience and Trait Anxiety as Mediators in the Relationship Between Perceived Family Social Support and Life Satisfaction Among Youth(Taylor & Francis inc, 2025) Aslan, Yavuz; Aslan, Yavuz; Bezirkan, Havva Sena; Department of Child Development / Çocuk Gelişimi BölümüPurposeThis study examines the impact of perceived family social support on youth life satisfaction, focusing on the mediating roles of psychological resilience and trait anxiety.Materials and methodsA cross-sectional quantitative research design was employed, collecting data from 626 participants via an online survey. A convenience sampling method was used. Analyses, including confirmatory factor analysis, correlation analysis, and structural equation modeling (SEM) path analysis, were conducted using SPSS 24 and AMOS 24 softwareResultsThe findings indicate that perceived family social support positively influences psychological resilience and life satisfaction while reducing trait anxiety. Psychological resilience lowers trait anxiety; however, its direct effect on life satisfaction is insignificant. Trait anxiety, on the other hand, negatively affects life satisfaction and acts as a mediator between perceived family social support and life satisfaction. Additionally, psychological resilience plays an indirect role in the effect of perceived family social support on life satisfaction through trait anxiety.DiscussionThe results suggest that perceived family support enhances resilience and reduces anxiety among youth, contributing to greater life satisfaction. These findings underscore the complex interplay between these variables and highlight the mediating roles of psychological resilience and trait anxiety.ConclusionThis study contributes to the literature by demonstrating that perceived family support enhances life satisfaction by strengthening psychological resilience and reducing trait anxiety. In addition, the study emphasizes the importance of fostering family-based support systems to promote youth well-being.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 3The Mediating Role of Self-Esteem in the Relationship Between Perceived Family Social Support and Life Satisfaction: a Study on Youth(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2024) Aslan, Yavuz; Department of Child Development / Çocuk Gelişimi BölümüThis study aimed to investigate the relationships among perceived family social support, self-esteem, and life satisfaction among Turkish youth, focusing on the mediating role of self-esteem. Utilizing a cross-sectional design, the researcher gathered data from 432 participants via an online survey. Confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling were employed to analyze the data. Findings revealed that perceived family social support positively influences self-esteem and life satisfaction. In addition, self-esteem positively affects life satisfaction. Furthermore, self-esteem served as a significant mediator, enhancing the positive impact of family support on life satisfaction. These findings suggest that interventions to enhance familial support and self-esteem may be effective strategies for improving life satisfaction. The study is important as it contributes to the academic literature by providing empirical evidence on the psychological mechanisms underlying youth well-being in Turkey, with implications for families, educators, and policymakers focused on supporting the developmental needs of young individuals. Future research should use longitudinal methods to provide a better understanding of the factors contributing to youth well-being.Article Citation - WoS: 0Citation - Scopus: 0Political Views as a Lens: Examining the Impact of Socioeconomic Status on Perceived Human Rights Practices Through Life Satisfaction(Springer Science and Business Media B.V., 2025) Çevik, O.; Aslan, Yavuz; Şimşek, O.M.; Basmacı, A.; Çoltu, İ.; Parlak, N.K.; Koçak, O.; Aslan, Y.; Department of Child Development / Çocuk Gelişimi BölümüThis study aims to examine the relationships between socioeconomic status (SES), life satisfaction, and perceived human rights practices (PHRP) within the framework of Bandura’s social cognitive theory, which emphasizes the interaction of personal, environmental, and behavioral factors in shaping perceptions and behaviors. By integrating this perspective, the study provides a novel understanding of how socioeconomic factors and well-being influence human rights perceptions. In addition, a revalidation study of the Human Rights in the Context of Generational Rights Scale was conducted. The research was designed as a quantitative and cross-sectional study. A total of 791 adults living in different cities in Türkiye were reached online in June 2022. The data collection tools were a demographic information form, the revalidated version of Human Rights in the Context of Generational Rights Scale, and the Life Satisfaction Scale. The collected data were analysed using IBM’s SPSS v.26 and SPSS Amos v.24 and Hayes’ Process Macro plug-in v.4.2. It was found that SES has a direct negative effect on PHRP and an indirect positive effect through life satisfaction. In addition, political opinion was found to have a moderating effect on the relationship between SES and PHRP in terms of government and opposition. These findings suggest that perceptions of human rights are influenced not only by structural socioeconomic conditions but also by subjective well-being and political affiliations. This highlights the importance of considering psychological and ideological factors in discussions on human rights perceptions, providing implications for policymakers and scholars examining social inequalities and governance. © The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2025.Article Citation - WoS: 0Citation - Scopus: 0The Association Between Self-Esteem and Physical Aggression in Elementary School Students in Türkiye: the Role of Being a Victim as Mediator(Springer, 2025) Aslan, Yavuz; Semerci, Melike; Aslan, Yavuz; Department of Child Development / Çocuk Gelişimi BölümüChildhood and early adolescence play a crucial role in shaping individuals' attitudes and behaviours through the cultivation of self-esteem. While this dynamic may differ among various age groups, self-esteem is anticipated to serve as a protective factor against peer bullying and aggression, particularly within the school setting. The present study aimed to explore the associations between self-esteem, experiences of victimisation, and engagement in physical aggression. This research, structured as a cross-sectional quantitative inquiry, involved administering an online survey to 445 primary and middle school students in T & uuml;rkiye. Descriptive and correlation analysis was performed with the SPSS 22.0 program, and mediation analysis was performed with the IBM AMOS 24 program. Being a victim was found to have a mediating effect on the relationship between self-esteem and physical aggression. Self-esteem reduces physical aggression by reducing being a victim. In this context, educators and policymakers need to focus their efforts to increase self-esteem while developing programs to prevent peer bullying and aggression in schools.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 4How do family influence on career choices and perceived social support affect students’ life satisfaction in Turkey?
