This study aimed to explore the mediating role of university students’ resilience in the relationship between their life goals and hopelessness. The participants of the study consisted of a total of 455 students (252 females [55.4%], 203 males [44.6%]) from universities in six different cities in Turkey. The Scale of Setting Life Goals with Respect to Positive Psychotherapy (Eryılmaz, 2012), the Resilience Scale (Gürgan, 2006), and the Beck Hopelessness Scale (Beck et al., 1974) were used as a data collection tools. The data were analysed using correlation analysis and structural equation modelling methods. The correlation analysis revealed that hopelessness was negatively correlated with both life goals and resilience. Also, the mediation analysis put forth that resilience had a full mediating role in the relationship between life goals and hopelessness. Raising life goals and resilience of university students will help decrease their hopelessness.

The mosques are very similar to art galleries due to the architectural and decorative properties. The calligraphy art was profound and applied on specific spots following specific rules. The calligraphy at the mosques of Sinan the Architect was written by the famous calligraphists of the time, Ahmet Karahisari, Hasan Celebi, Demircikulu Yusuf and Hasan Üsküdari. In this article, the calligraphy in the mosques of Istanbul Sehzade (1544-1548), Süleymaniye (1550-1557) and Edirne Selimiye (1569-1575) is researched to reveal the arrangement of calligraphy art in Sinan's mosques. The writings, almost resembling jewelry, in the mosques of Sinan complement the architecture. We wish that these writings will be preserved for the future generations.

The aim of this article is to briefly describe the new conceptions and issues of contemporary Turkish literature from the middle of the 1980s to the end of the century. A new social, political and cultural environment, which was created in this time in Turkey, was radically different to that of previous decades. The outcome has been a transition from nationalism to a more liberal understanding of the state and society by most Turkish intellectuals.

This paper empirically investigates the impact of international tourism receipts on the long-run economic growth of Turkey. For this purpose, tourism-led growth hypothesis is tested by using co-integration and Granger causality testing. The causal relationship between international tourism receipts and GDP is examined for the period 1980Q1-2004Q2. Johansen technique is used and vector error correction modelling (VECM) is incorporated into the Granger causality tests. The empirical results suggest that there are bidirectional causal relationships between the two variables in both the short and the long-run. In other words, it can be said that economic growth contributes to the development of tourism while tourism contributes to the economic growth.

Before of the First World War Triple Alliance and Entente rivalled for influence onto Turkey. For all Russia observed with unbelief of increase position German officers into Turkey army. Russian endurance 'overflow' in the fall of new chief of German military mission of general O. Liman von Sanders in November 1913.

London initiated diplomatic action for peaceful compromise and in common with others powers procured of constringency of German military mission out from Turkey in January 1914. This affair pointed dangerously of suspicion between powers, for all between Russia and Germany, in eve of the First World War.

Turkish efforts for the EU membership from 1963 to the 17th of Dec. 2004 were finally successful. The date of accession negotiations was set on the 3rd of October 2005. Concerning geography and culture Turkey is more Asian than European country. It is possible that it becomes full EU member in next 10 - 15 years. There will be advantages for both sides. Turkey will gain advantages from its membership - after the creation of customs union with the EU in 1996, Turkey will also acquire access to the four freedoms of common market of the EU. There is also a certain threat for Turkey concerning the free movement of labour - Turkey will have only limited access to this freedom. On the other side, the EU will acquire country with great growth dynamics and with wide market. Concerning risks, we have to mention relative political instability which is to be solved before the accession to the EU.

This paper largely investigates some of the main ideas of Ziya Gökalp by looking at his theoretical system as a successful attempt that used to offer solutions to the political problems of his time. He was an important Muslim intellectual and Turkish political theorist of the late 19th and early 20th century. Gökalp's thoughts concentrated on the mission of creating a nation for the emerging modern state of Turkey. The article also discusses how Gökalpian sociology was customized for the needs of Kemalist elites. It also aims at underlining the aspects of Gökalp’s nationalism theory, which have influenced Turkish political leaders as they have gradually redefined national identity in a way which has enabled them to tackle the challenges of their time.

With globalization, transformations experienced in the postmodern era have been observed simultaneously or almost simultaneously in nearly all parts of the world; thus, like in other countries, artistic transformations have also manifested themselves in Slovakia and Turkey with increased communication and transportation opportunities with the West. This study focuses on how the method of appropriation, which gained significance with postmodernism following its pioneers in the modern era, emerged, and developed in Slovakia and Turkey. This study, starting from the belief that the desire of postmodernism to resolve the concepts of centre-periphery was not fulfilled, addresses the dominance of Western art in the field of art and the necessity to diversify this reference point by considering that there are other arts besides Western art, which is mainly seen as the sole reference in art research worldwide. The two countries that appear to have completely different outlooks regarding the perspective of the beginning of artistic transformation and the use of appropriation have occasionally produced similar topics, especially during the 1990s. However, due to the different social structures of these two countries, differences have also been observed during this period.

Over the recent years the aspect of Ankara’s foreign policy towards its neighbours has become important in relations between the EU and Turkey. Notably, these relations are situated in an area defined by two axes: Turkey’s full membership in the EU, an option favoured by Turkey and the EU’s cooperation with Ankara (called “privileged partnership”), which is Brussels’ priority. The article aims to present the principal reasons from which these different objectives stem, making the entire picture of mutual relations between the parties somewhat paradoxical. It also attempts to present possible alternatives to this “vicious circle” in order to find a solution which might be profitable for both sides involved.

Beyond question, modern Turkey is a brainchild of political reforms. Thanks to them Turkey aspires to the prestigious European Union membership. Their depth was arranged for by the most impressive figure of Asia Minor of the 20th century: Mustafa Kemal called Ataturk. Some kind of a modern 'father of the nation' who has been a revered person, nearly a paragon of identification ever since. This is mostly true thanks to the fact that his republican revolution connected with secularization and nationalism moved the generally underdeveloped country degraded by the World War I towards developed, victorious states. His radical triumph may remotely resemble revolutionary state-forming success of Tomas G. Masaryk but mainly to that of V. I. Lenin. The latter he offered geopolitical turn in Russian relation to Turkey that was accepted with gratitude. Subsequently, after the death of both representatives, it even co-influenced the result of the second global war.

This study aims to examine in detail the ethical dilemmas faced by private school teachers. The study employed a phenomenological research design. The study group comprised 15 teachers working at private schools in a province located in the south-eastern region of Turkey in the 2020-2021 academic years, who were determined by the maximum variation sampling method. A semi-structured interview form was used as the data collection instrument. Collected data were subjected to phenomenological analysis. According to the findings, ethical dilemmas faced by private school teachers can be categorized under the themes of “parents,” “students,” “school administration,” and “co-workers.” Ethical dilemmas in private schools have been found to differ in some aspects from those in public schools. Also, it was observed that teachers dealt with ethical dilemmas under the fear of losing their jobs. The results are discussed in the context of professional and workplace problems faced by private school teachers, and recommendations are presented accordingly.

In this contribution, based on a qualitative research conducted in 2008 – 2009 in Ankara and Antalya (Turkey), return migration from Germany to Turkey is analysed. Different dynamics are elaborated. A central return motive is the worsening situation on the German labour market and considerations concerning a possible improvement of social status in the return context. Main question is, in how far family migration networks are explanatory for a discussion of differences in return and circular migration patterns? Among others a comparison was made concerning 1) motives, values, emotional affiliations (longing for a home) and 2) circumstances resulting in circular migration strategies or reasons for a permanent settlement in the return context, i.e. educational and job opportunities and also marriage. Gender and generational differences were considered. The decision to return or to engage in circular migration strongly depends on the place of residence of the family members and material and immaterial supports provided by the family. Transnational family- and migration networks, the interconnection of different migrant generations, the exchange of different migration experiences and the resulting transfer of economic, social, cultural and symbolic capital has to be mentioned as important. In addition the legal embeddedness in Germany (residence permits, citizenship, welfare benefits, etc.) as well as better chances on the Turkish labour market and better educational opportunities (school/university) in Turkey turned out to be decisive.

Especially women, due to cultural and societal expectations, are less responsive toward erotic stimuli when they are engaged with neutral and distractive thoughts and emotions. Focusing on a task-irrelevant context during sex adversely affects functioning. Therefore, this study aims to explore the pathway from body appreciation to sexual self-consciousness in women in Turkey and Azerbaijan. In addition, the mediating role of self-compassion on this path was also explored in the study. A total of 643 women agreed to participate in the study, which included 343 women from Turkey (Age M = 32.30, SD = 8.67, range 18-58) and 300 women from Azerbaijan (Age M = 30.96, SD = .93, range 18-58). Structural equation modelling was used to test the mediating relationship between the variables. The results demonstrated that body appreciation predicts self-compassion and sexual self-consciousness in both samples and self-compassion predicts sexual self-consciousness. Furthermore, self-compassion has a mediating role in the relationship between body appreciation and sexual self-consciousness. Body satisfaction can increase women’s self-acceptance and self-compassion despite their shortcomings. The higher the self-compassion, the more women can focus on sex without being distracted.

The reality shock is experienced mostly by novice teachers in transitioning to profession when they are confronted with a gap between what they learned during their education and the reality awaiting them within the early years of their career. Similarly, senior students in teaching programs may have occupational concerns proceeding from not having encountered the profession itself yet. Here, we elaborate on the relationship between reality shock expectation and occupational concerns of pre-service teachers. A total of 464 Turkish pre-service teachers participated. We discovered experiencing reality shock expectation prior to professional life to be significantly predicted by appointment, students/communication, and social/economic concerns. Moreover, there was a significant interaction between study major and reality shock expectation of the participants. Overall, we discuss the probable factors triggering reality shock expectation and occupational concerns, and the implications for future research in accordance with a similar literature.

Most of the past empirical work has failed to detect any kind of strong positive relationship between capital account liberalization and economic growth, in contrast to what standard theory had predicted. Some researchers have argued that the increased frequency of financial crisis and the resulting macroeconomic instability is the main cost of capital account liberalization which may partly (or more than partly) offset its beneficial growth enhancing effects. In this paper, based on Turkish experience, we offer two additional mechanisms through which increased net capital inflows might exert negative impact on economic growth even when the years of deep financial crisis caused by capital reversals are not taken into account.

This paper investigates transnationalism among the Turks as a multifaceted phenomenon that has been engendered by the interconnectivity in the modern world, mass education and the victorious rise of telecommunication technologies, cyberspace media as well as the global transportation systems. With loosening of boundaries between the countries from Germany and the United States as far as Central Asia, the Turks have entered into numerous transnational networks as the important actors. My focus here is on the transnational religious identity of Islam among the Turks, mainly in Germany and Central Asia, that manifests itself through both non-governmental movements and networks (apolitical as well as political, both accommodationist and extremist), and state-based organizations. The identity, that arises out of such a process can be influenced by ethnolinguistic transnationalism, nationalistic transnationalism or political aspirations, too.

In Turkey, the effectiveness of the agricultural support policies is a constantly discussed matter. The purpose of this study is to analyze and compare the effects of the 'MPS' and 'DPS' on the welfare of the producer and the consumer, and on the net society losses and gains. In the study, 'wheat' has been taken into account, which is generally accepted as the key product. In line with the purpose of the study, Partial Equilibrium Model (PEM) has been used when analyzing the data. In accordance with the results of the study, it has been established that 'DPS' is the preferred alternative as far as net social revenues are concerned, and 'MPS' is the preferred alternative as far as reducing the budget burden is concerned.
