The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of self-talk on motivation and performance of individuals by different variants. The sample of the research consisted of 233 athletes in total, 113 are women and 120 are men living in 30 different provinces in Turkey and interested in different branches in 2020. The 'self-talk scale', developed by Brinthaupt, Hein and Kramer ( 2009) and adopted to Turkish by Akın et al. (2010) which aims to assess the emotional, behavioral and cognitive aspects of the self-talk, was used as a data collection tool. The data obtained in the study were analyzed by using the IBM SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) for Windows 15.0 program. Number, percentage and frequency were used as descriptive statistical methods in the evaluation of data. According to the obtained data, significant differences between the age variant and 'self-criticism' which is the sub-dimension of self-talk scale, between 'social assessment' and 'self-criticism' which are the sub-dimensions of gender and self-talk scale, and between the level of doing sports and the sub-dimension of self-criticism" have been gained.

Bu çalışmada Bhavsar vd., (2020) tarafından geliştirilen, Sporda Psikolojik İhtiyaçlar Durum Ölçeğinin (SPİDÖ) Türkçeye uyarlanması amaçlanmıştır. Toplam 29 soru 6 alt boyuttan oluşan ölçeğin öncelikle madde analizi olarak, madde-toplam korelasyonu hesaplanmıştır. Ayrıca SPİDÖ maddelerinin, madde ayırt ediciliğinin belirlenebilmesi için her bir alt boyuta ait ölçek puanları çoktan aza doğru sıralanıp, üstten %27'ye girenler üst grup, alttan %27'ye girenler alt grup olarak ayrılmıştır. Sonrasında maddelerin alt grup ile üst grup arasında farklılık gösterme durumu t testi ile incelenmiştir. SPİDÖ'nün altı boyutlu yapısının veriye uyumunu incelemek amacıyla ölçme aracının, ölçülen yapıya ilişkin faktör yapısı belli olduğundan ölçeğin orijinal formuna uygun olarak doğrulayıcı faktör analizi (DFA) yapılmıştır. Çok değişkenli normal dağılım varsayımı olmadığından, sağlam maksimum olabilirlik kestirimi (Robust Maximum Likelihood Estimation-RMLE) kullanılmıştır. SPİDÖ puanlarının güvenirliğini belirlemek amacıyla Cronbach alfa katsayısından yararlanılmıştır. Yapılan DFA sonucunda SPİDÖ ölçeğinden madde 10'un çıkarılarak, yani 28 madde olarak, Türkçe' ye uyarlanıp kullanılabileceği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

Health literacy is important as it shows the degree to which a person understands and interprets medical information and makes the appropriate health decision. The workers of steel factories are often faced with health information and issues in their work place related to personal protection, occupational hazards and occupational injuries. Therefore, it is important to demonstrate the health literacy of the workers to ensure health literacy responsive work places. This paper aims to show the health literacy level of the steel factory male workers in Turkey. In this study, in order to measure the health literacy level of men, REALM and NVS scales were used. Additionally, questions related to socio-demographics and the health information sources and General Health Questionnaire were applied. For the analysis, chi-square and ANOVA tests were used. Of the participants, the mean age was 34.9 ± 8.8 (min.-max. = 18-53), the mean scores were 64.0 ± 2.1, 3.2 ± 1.2, and 1.5 ± 0.8, respectively for REALM, NVS and GHQ scales. According to REALM scale, 8.1% (n = 20) of the workers had limited health literacy. Whereas, in the NVS scale, 5.7% (n = 14) had inadequate health literacy, and 55.1 % (n = 136) had limited health literacy. At least one of every ten workers had limited or inadequate health literacy level. The results should be taken into consideration by the healthcare providers and policymakers while implementing health promotion interventions to increase the health literacy level of the workers.

Background: Violence affects more than half of women worldwide and the perception of social roles has a significant role in this. Adolescence is a sensitive developmental period in the life of an individual. It is therefore important to understand the perception of violence and change the acceptance of violence among adolescents. Aims: To address the experiences that adolescents had with violence and its relationship with attitudes towards women. Methods: This descriptive study, comprising 2321 high school students, was conducted in Izmir, Turkey, between May and August 2015. We used a questionnaire to collect data on sociodemographic information and the perceptions that adolescents have of violence. The Violence Tendency and Attitudes Towards Women Scales were applied to show the perceptions of adolescents of social roles. Results: One third of the adolescents reported that they were exposed to some kind of violence. More than half had witnessed violence against their family members, relatives, or close friends. Conservative and traditional attitudes towards women were associated with a higher tendency towards violence among adolescents. Conclusions: To end violence against women, public health actions should focus on the young population and their representation of social roles
