This N = 173,426 social science dataset was collected through the collaborative COVIDiSTRESS Global Survey – an open science effort to improve understanding of the human experiences of the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic between 30th March and 30th May, 2020. The dataset allows a cross-cultural study of psychological and behavioural responses to the Coronavirus pandemic and associated government measures like cancellation of public functions and stay at home orders implemented in many countries. The dataset contains demographic background variables as well as measures of Asian Disease Problem, perceived stress (PSS-10), availability of social provisions (SPS-10), trust in various authorities, trust in governmental measures to contain the virus (OECD trust), personality traits (BFF-15), information behaviours, agreement with the level of government intervention, and compliance with preventive measures, along with a rich pool of exploratory variables and written experiences. A global consortium from 39 countries and regions worked together to build and translate a survey with variables of shared interests, and recruited participants in 47 languages and dialects. Raw plus cleaned data and dynamic visualizations are available.

During the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the COVIDiSTRESS Consortium launched an open-access global survey to understand and improve individuals’ experiences related to the crisis. A year later, we extended this line of research by launching a new survey to address the dynamic landscape of the pandemic. This survey was released with the goal of addressing diversity, equity, and inclusion by working with over 150 researchers across the globe who collected data in 48 languages and dialects across 137 countries. The resulting cleaned dataset described here includes 15,740 of over 20,000 responses. The dataset allows cross-cultural study of psychological wellbeing and behaviours a year into the pandemic. It includes measures of stress, resilience, vaccine attitudes, trust in government and scientists, compliance, and information acquisition and misperceptions regarding COVID-19. Open-access raw and cleaned datasets with computed scores are available. Just as our initial COVIDiSTRESS dataset has facilitated government policy decisions regarding health crises, this dataset can be used by researchers and policy makers to inform research, decisions, and policy.

Bu çalışmada Peritravmatik Stres Envanterinin (PDI) Türkçeye çevrilerek geçerlik ve güvenirliğinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmanın örneklemini 18-65 yaş grubunda yer alan 377 kişi oluşturmaktadır. Ölçeğin Türkçe formunun geçerlilik ve güvenirlik analizleri travmatik olay yaşadığını belirten 224 katılımcı üzerinden, karşılaştırma analizleri ise tüm katılımcılar (377) dahil edilerek yapılmıştır. Katılımcılara, PDI Türkçe versiyonunun yanı sıra Demografik Bilgi Formu ve Olayların Etkisi Ölçeği uygulanmıştır. Yapılan analizler neticesinde ölçeğin tümü için Cronbach Alpha iç tutarlılık katsayısı .88 olarak belirlenirken olumsuz duygular alt boyutu iç tutarlılık katsayısı .84, algılanan yaşam tehdidi ve fiziksel uyarılma alt boyutu iç tutarlılık katsayısı .80 olarak saptanmıştır. Doğrulayıcı faktör analizi sonucunda CMIN/DF=2.54, GFI=.91, CFI=.91, SRMR=.07 ve RMSEA=.08 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Peritravmatik Stres Ölçeği ile Olayların Etkisi Ölçeği arasında orta düzeyde olumlu yönde (r=46, p

Akran zorbalığı, her geçen yıl artış gösteren bir olgu olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Konuya ilişkin davranışların sıklığında gözlenen artış uzmanların da dikkatini çekmiş; zorbalık davranışının hem zorbalığı uygulayan hem de zorbalığa maruz kalan taraflar açısından etkilerinin saptanmasına yönelik çalışmaların sayısı artmıştır. Ancak, travmaya ilişkin çoklu belirtilerin gözlenebildiği travma sonrası stres bozukluğu ile akran zorbalığı arasındaki ilişkiyi ortaya koyan çalışmaların sınırlı olduğu görülmektedir. Buradan hareketle akran zorbalığı ve akran zorbalığına bağlı ortaya çıkan travmatik sonuçlar arasındaki ilişkinin ele alındığı bu derleme çalışmasında; travmatik semptomların ortaya çıkışında zorbalık olgusunun etkisine ve ilgili semptomların mağdurlar, zorbalar ve zorba/mağdurlar arasında görülme sıklığına dikkat çekmek amaçlanmaktadır.

The aim of the study was to determine the influence of authority on the susceptibility of child witnesses and the reliability of their testimonies. This study, consisting of experimental and control groups, included 20 girls and 20 boys, totalling 40 children. It took place in two phases; an initial phase (“eyewitness”, “post-event interview”) and, one week later, a final phase (“recall”). In the individual interviews held with the children, a questionnaire consisting of a free narrative question and 18 open-ended questions was used. The free narrative question asked the children to specify the details they remembered about the animated film. The open-ended questions focused on the events and characters in the film. However, 12 of the open-ended questions could be answered correctly since they were about characters and situations in the film that the children had watched, while six of the questions were trick questions that were about characters and situations that were not shown in the film. For data analysis, both quantitative and qualitative methods were used to reach the deeper level of perception and memories that children shared about the film. In conclusion, after analysis, it was found that even when the interview takes place immediately after the event, children are significantly affected by the misinformation given by an adult and their knowledge on the event in question is shaped according to this misinformation. It was observed that children create "a new event" based on the information they receive from an adult. Keywords: Child, Eyewitness testimony, Reliability, Suggestibility, Suggestive interview, Memory
