    The emphasize of student centered educational topics is usually on the effect of teachers' attitudes on students' academical success with a lack of lifespan developmental perspective. A teacher with his teaching methods and furthermore with his attitudes and behaviours, provides his students to gain a mentally healthy personality and to have a new clear world view by leaving unforgettable traces on them. This is a prepatory study to uncover how attitudes of teachers affect the personalities and performances of students. In this sense this study will provide an emic understanding of education and the dynamics of relationship between teachers and students beyond the limited areas of classes and courses. Sample group of research consists of totally 353 students from different departments of Istanbul Kultur University and Maltepe University. By giving a questionaire the students were asked to give samples of their primary school, secondary school, high school and university teachers' positive and negative attitudes and behaviours as well as to tell how it effects their personality development and performances by giving samples. The most important findings of the research evidenced that teachers' positive attitudes have positively influence students' personality as well as their life performances. Based on these findings teachers' role in lifespan education as beyond a simple knowledge transformation is discussed. (C) 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

    (ODTÜ Psikoloji Bölümü, 2023) Yatar, Merve doğan; YILDIRIM, MELİS SERAY ÖZDEN
    Somatizasyon, zorlayıcı dışsal faktörlerin ya da bireylerin iç çatışmalarının yarattığı olumsuz duyguların beden üzerinden deneyimlenmesi ve ifade edilmesi olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Somatizasyonun tanılanması için öncelikle ilgili olabilecek organik hastalıkların elimine edilmesi gerektiği için kişilerin sağlık kuruluşlarında geçirdikleri zaman artmakta ve belirtilerin getirdiği rahatsızlıkların sürmesi nedeniyle bireysel ve sosyal yaşamları olumsuz bir şekilde etkilenmektedir. Bu nedenle somatizasyon eğilimi ile ilgili olabilecek demografik özelliklerin bilinmesinin tanı koyma sürecinde yardımcı olacağı düşünülmektedir. Bununla birlikte, somatizasyon eğiliminin kişilerin sorun çözme süreçlerindeki işlevsel olmayan davranışları ve tutumlarından kaynaklandığı düşünülmektedir. Bu savın araştırılması amacıyla Türkiye’deki üniversite öğrencileri evreninden rastgele seçilen 353 üniversite öğrencisinden veri toplanmış ve ilişkisel araştırma modeli kullanılan araştırmada veriler SPSS Paket Programı kullanılarak test edilmiştir. Çalışmada sonuç olarak somatizasyon eğiliminin cinsiyet, gelir düzeyi ve kardeş sayısı değişkenlerinin alt gruplarına göre farklılaştığı bulunmuştur. Somatizasyon eğiliminin stresle başa çıkma yöntemlerini kullanma, genel öz yeterlik ve bilişsel esneklik düzeyleriyle negatif yönde ilişkili olduğu görülmüştür. Bilişsel esneklik ve sosyal destek arama yöntemi ise somatizasyon eğilimi üzerinde yordayıcı rolü olan değişkenler olarak bulunmuştur.
