Working memory (WM) can be thought of as a mental notebook that we can use to record useful information for short periods of time when needed in our daily cognitive activities. As defined in Atkinson and Shiffrin’s (1968) model of multiple memory systems, while short-term memory is used more for storage purposes, working memory is a concept that aims to perform operations. Short-term memory controlled by repetition, encoding and search strategies for memorization is used when new information is stored. On the other hand, working memory is used to recall the necessary information from long-term memory and to perform operations on it. Working memory is actually closely related to long-term memory as it works on previously stored information. Working memory refers to the place where information is made sense of and processed (Bruning, 2014).Working memory plays a crucial role in early childhood (0-3 years), emphasized across various fields such as psychology, neuroscience, child development, education, and even economics (Ozawa et al., 2022; Raver and Blair, 2016;) From birth, infants demonstrate remarkable learning and memory capacities, which are significantly shaped by their interactions with their environment (Cowan, 2007). The development of working memory during the first three years is pivotal, supporting the rapid acquisition of new skills through observation and reasoning (Eangle, 2002). Understanding the progression of working memory over time is essential for designing effective strategies to maximize cognitive capacities and for developing appropriate intervention programs.Research consistently shows that working memory performance improves significantly with age. For example, Nikolaewa et al. (2021) demonstrated that working memory skills steadily increase from ages 3 to 14, emphasizing the role of early cognitive support in boosting later academic success. Early intervention programs during this period can lay the groundwork for more complex cognitive abilities in later years.Additionally, working memory is closely linked to other developmental domains, particularly language. Newbury et al. (2016) found strong correlations between early verbal working memory and both receptive and expressive language skills in children aged 2-4, with verbal memory significantly predicting later language development. Similarly, Edmunds et al. (2022) highlighted the relationship between verbal abilities and working memory in children with autism spectrum disorder, where verbal self-talk was found to enhance working memory performance.The environment also plays a critical role in shaping working memory development. Studies have shown that factors such as maternal education, family income, and parental communication positively influence cognitive development (Demeusy et al., 2018; Horton et al., 2020). Buschmann et al. (2015) highlighted the importance of parent-based language interventions, which improved phonological memory and episodic recall in children. Furthermore, Treat et al. (2019) demonstrated that parents’ adverse childhood experiences negatively impacted their children’s working memory and cognitive flexibility.&nbsp;In summary, the development of working memory and its interplay with language, environmental influences, and individual differences, such as attention and gender (Hill et al., 2014; Horton, 2020), is crucial for understanding cognitive growth. This body of research also highlights gaps in the literature and provides directions for future research in early childhood development.There is no systematic analysis in the literature regarding on working memory, especially on the working memory of young children. Such researches will offer an insight to researchers in terms of gaining knowledge about the subject, identifying gaps and needs, and identifying new topics to be researched. It is thought that examining scientific studies on working memory in early childhood in terms of different criteria will be useful in creating early intervention opportunities and guiding researchers who want to work in this field.Therefore, in this study, it was aimed to conduct a systematic analysis of studies between 2015 and 2023 on the working memory of typically developing children aged 0-36 months. Within the scope of the study, answers were sought to the following questions:<ol><li>&nbsp;Do children’s working memory performances vary according to age groups?</li><li>&nbsp;What are the methods and techniques used to measure working memory in infants and toddlers?&nbsp;</li><li>&nbsp;Is there a relationship between working memory development and infants’ language development?</li><li>&nbsp;What are the environmental factors that affect working memory?</li><li>&nbsp;What are the individual differences that affect working memory?</li></ol>MethodThis study conducted a systematic review of studies examining working memory in children aged 0–36 months. The systematic analysis was conducted using the PICOS approach and the basic principles expressed in PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses).The PICOS approach provides a structured framework for conducting systematic reviews and meta-analyses, ensuring clear criteria for study inclusion and improving the validity and reliability of the findings (Higgins et al., 2019). PICOS consists of five key components: Population, Interventions, Comparators, Outcomes, and Study Design. In this study, the population was defined as normally developing children aged 0-36 months, with research focusing on interventions that enhance or measure working memory abilities. Studies without direct relevance to working memory or those involving non-comparable populations were excluded. Comparators include control groups or alternative interventions, allowing for an analysis of the efficacy of various working memory interventions. The outcomes were centered on working memory performance, and only original research designs, such as longitudinal, cross-sectional, and experimental studies, were included, excluding meta-analyses or systematic reviews (Methley et al., 2014; Schardt et al., 2007).The PRISMA protocol ensures transparency, consistency, and objectivity in systematic reviews and meta-analyses (Moher et al., 2009). It consists of four main stages: Identification, Screening, Eligibility, and Inclusion (Liberati et al., 2009). The identification phase involves a thorough search of databases to identify studies related to working memory in children aged 0-36 months. Between March 2015 and August 2023, databases such as PubMed, EBSCO, and others were searched using keywords like "working memory" and "infant," yielding 577 articles. During the screening phase, duplicate and irrelevant studies were removed. A total of 131 duplicate studies were excluded, leaving 446 articles for further review. The eligibility phase involved reviewing the titles and abstracts to ensure that the studies met the inclusion criteria. Studies were included if they focused on normally developing children aged 0-36 months and examined their working memory abilities. Studies on preterm or atypically developing children or those focusing on other cognitive functions like long-term memory were excluded. After this process, 56 relevant studies remained. In the inclusion phase, the selected studies were analyzed for systematic review. The 56 studies included in the analysis are detailed in the appendix of the research. This process ensured that only relevant, high-quality studies were included in the final review. This structured approach enhances the reliability and reproducibility of the systematic review, ensuring that the findings are comprehensive and valid.ResultsThis systematic review aimed to analyze studies focusing on working memory (WM) in children aged 0-36 months, providing insights into age-related changes, environmental and individual factors, and the relationship between WM and language development. The findings enhance the existing literature and open new avenues for research by examining these aspects through the lens of relevant studies.Age-Related Differences in the Working MemoryThe results reveal clear age-related differences in WM performance. For infants aged 0-12 months, studies have shown that they can remember temporal sequences, track auditory cues, and represent objects and their locations (Courage et al., 2006). By 13-24 months, children begin to display more advanced WM skills, such as using perceptual contrasts and retaining numerical information (Simmering \&amp; Perone, 2013). The most complex WM abilities, including multiple identity tracking and symbol-based learning, appear by 25-36 months, which children show an increased ability to encode and sustain memory representations using attentional resources (Baddeley \&amp; Hitch, 1974; Reynolds \&amp; Romano, 2016).These findings align with the broader cognitive development literature, which underscores the rapid growth of WM during early childhood. Baddeley and Hitch (1974) postulated that WM evolves with age and plays a crucial role in supporting other cognitive functions. Diamond and Doar (1989) further demonstrated that WM and executive functions develop rapidly by age three, significantly improving cognitive performance. Overall, the studies reviewed confirm that children employ more efficient strategies for using WM as they grow, influenced by both maturation and experience.Environmental Factors Affecting Working MemoryWM development is closely linked to various environmental factors. The analysis highlights the role of maternal education and family income, showing that children from higher socioeconomic backgrounds typically exhibit stronger WM performance (Horton et al., 2020; Wijeakumar et al., 2019). This finding is consistent with broader research linking socioeconomic status (SES) to cognitive outcomes. Studies like Passarelli-Carrazzoni et al. (2018) and Mooney et al. (2021) found similar associations between SES and WM, emphasizing the importance of early interventions for children from low-SES backgrounds.Parental behaviors, particularly parenting styles and early interactions, significantly shape WM development. Research by Demeusy et al. (2018) and Treat et al. (2019) demonstrated that neglectful or harsh parenting negatively affects children’s WM abilities, while supportive and stimulating interactions promote cognitive growth. This aligns with Bronfenbrenner and Morris’s (2006) ecological systems theory, which emphasizes how child development is shaped by the quality of caregiver-child interactions. Maternal mental health also plays a role, with maternal depression shown to negatively impact children's WM through reduced quality in mother-child interactions (Goodman et al., 2011; Gueron-Sela et al., 2018).Individual Differences in the Working MemoryIndividual factors, such as gender, attention, and neurochemical influences, also impact WM performance in young children. Gender differences in WM were observed in studies like Horton et al. (2020), which found that girls outperformed boys in WM tasks at 18 and 24 months, diverging from some previous findings that favored boys in spatial memory tasks (Harness et al., 2008). However, the developmental trajectory of WM remains a topic of debate, as some studies suggest that gender differences in WM could be shaped by environmental expectations and educational contexts (Hyde et al., 2008).Attention control, another critical factor, has yielded mixed results in its relationship with WM. Cheng et al. (2019a) found that sustained attention positively influences WM performance, while Holmboe et al. (2018) reported no significant long-term relationship between early attention skills and later WM. Dopamine function, measured through indicators like blink rates, has also been linked to WM performance, further emphasizing the role of neurochemical factors in cognitive development (Bacher et al., 2017; Cools \&amp; D'Esposito, 2011).Methods for Measuring Working Memory in InfantsThe systematic review also highlighted the diverse methods used to assess WM in infants. Techniques such as automated eye-tracking (Chhaya et al., 2018; Ross-Sheehy \&amp; Eschman, 2019) and visual paradigms (Wu et al., 2017) offer precise insights into infants’ cognitive processes but can be technically demanding. Game-based memory tasks like Spin the Pots and Object Retrieval provide more naturalistic settings for evaluating WM (Morra et al., 2021; Zosh \&amp; Feigenson, 2015). Neuroimaging methods such as fNIRS have proven useful in studying early brain development and WM processes, though their use requires stillness from the infants and can be costly (Reyes et al., 2020).DiscussionThis review underscores the importance of WM in early cognitive development, highlighting its age-related progression and the significant role played by environmental and individual factors. Maternal education, socioeconomic status, and parental interaction quality are crucial for optimizing WM development. The findings indicate that children from higher socioeconomic backgrounds and those receiving supportive parenting tend to have stronger WM performance. Individual differences, such as gender and neurochemical influences, also affect WM development, though the extent of these effects remains a subject for further research.The review also shows that various methods have been used to measure WM in infants, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. Automated eye tracking and neuroimaging methods offer precise insights but are technically challenging, while game-based tasks provide more naturalistic assessments. These various approaches contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of WM development but also highlight the difficulties in standardizing measurement techniques.Further research is needed to explore under-studied factors such as sleep and screen exposure and to investigate the role of bilingualism and music education on WM in younger children. Expanding research across different cultural contexts is also essential to fully understand WM development in diverse populations. The findings of this review provide a foundation on which future studies can build and highlight the need for targeted interventions that consider both environmental and individual influences on the development of WM.

On 31 December 2019, a disease emerged that led to a global pandemic declaration: COVID-19. The importance of protective behaviors (such as physical distancing, wearing masks, and confirming hygiene rules) has been emphasized. Several studies have been conducted to understand the relevant factors that might promote or hinder people’s adherence to new norms. However, most of these studies have been conducted with people who have lived through the pandemic period. There has been little research focusing on the narratives and observations of contact tracing teams has been realized. In addition, research using qualitative methods has been limited. However, it is worthwhile to understand the pandemic situation from the perspective of contact tracing team members who have gained enormous experience and made first-hand observations of peoples’ actions and reactions. This research therefore explored the experiences of contact tracing team members. To do this, we applied a qualitative research method. MethodA total of 12 health workers (six women and six men) who had an active role in the contact tracing team of the Kirsehir Provincial Health Directorate participated in the study. The average age of the staff was 43 years (SD = 6.98), and the average length of service was 21 years. The participants have worked in teams throughout the province at the beginning of the contact tracing works. The necessary ethical approvals were obtained before the start of the interviews. The semi-structured interviews consisted of open-ended questions and a demographic information form prepared by the researchers. The interviews were conducted face-to-face and audio recorded with the consent of the participants. Each interview lasted 323 Psikoloji Çalışmaları - Studies in Psychology 10-15 minutes. The data collection phase was terminated upon reaching the point of saturation. The data were analyzed by applying the thematic analysis method (Braun &amp; Clarke, 2006). In contrast to quantitative research, narratives were evaluated using inductive reasoning. This entailed the adoption of a phenomenological approach and the application of a bottom-up process to the data obtained from the health personnel’s accounts. The initial evaluations led to the creation of codes, which in turn yielded sub-themes. ResultsA bottom-up process was employed to identify themes and meta-themes. These meta-themes which consist of several sub-themes, were as follows: Cognitive processes, experiences, negative emotions, trust, moral processes, adherence with measures, the task of contact tracing, spatial factors, and cultural factors. The meta-theme of cognitive processes has is comprised of four sub-themes; knowledge, cognitive bias, risk perception, and belief in conspiracy theories. Under the meta-theme of experiences, we gathered narratives from participants those related to how people experienced the pandemic. Our participants indicated that the severity of COVID-19 symptoms experienced by individuals during the course of the pandemic is a pivotal factor influencing their adherence to the newly established norms. We identified the sub-themes of experiencing illness, adapting to uncertainty, exposure to social exclusion, and gender differences under this meta-theme. Furthermore, interviewees narrated that some individuals perceived themselves to have been subjected to various forms of social exclusion while infected. It was observed by our participants that individuals were reluctant to acknowledge infection or to disclose their contact with infected individuals. This was driven by a desire to avoid being labelled and socially excluded and to maintain their ability to work and run their business outside the home. The narratives obtained from experts illustrated that individual and their relatives who had contracted the virus expressed negative emotions including fear, anxiety, worry, anger, and sadness. These emotions were identified as a meta-theme of negative emotions. The narratives that we gathered under the meta-theme of trust covered people’s distrust of medication and politicians. In addition, the role of trust in contact tracing teams in facilitating or impeding the effectiveness of their work was pointed out as a crucial factor. Some participants indicated that the moral aspect of actions either prevented or motivated people to comply with the measures, which were differentiated as a distinct meta-theme of moral processes. Although moral processes have overlapping aspects with other themes such as experience, we decided to classify this theme separately to emphasize its importance, particularly in the context of interpersonal and intergroup relations which have been studied in social psychology for decades (see Janoff-Bulmann &amp; Carnes, 2013). The participants who had been involved in contact tracing teams told their observations about individuals who had concealed their contact with infected individuals or provided false information about their symptoms and disregarded the newly emerged norm. These observations can be regarded as evidence that individuals’ moral convictions and standards serve to (de)motivate (im)moral behaviors. The meta-theme of adherence to measures included the codes that indicated the factors that played an important role in the concrete actions taken by people. These factors were grouped under the sub-themes of consciousness and economic conditions. The interviewees talked about their perceptions of spatial factors during the pandemic period. They mentioned that individuals exhibited diminished perception of risk when they were at home. However, the households were predominantly large, which made it challenging to implement preventive measures. The theme of the contact tracing task based on the participants narratives regarding the organizational structure and psychological elements of their teamwork. Finally, the participants described the presence of multitude of cultural elements within their expressions, which were subsequently categorized as cultural norms and rituals. The interviewees posited that cultural norms such as hospitality and proclivity for human relations, as well as cultural rituals such as weddings and funerals, have the effect of violating physical isolation due to the crowded nature of social gatherings. Discussion The themes that emerged from the thematic analysis is generally aligned with the findings from the quantitative research conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic. For instance, our meta-theme of cognitive processes has been demonstrated to be a crucial variable in complying with precautions during the pandemic in quantitative research conducted in an international context (e.g., Lin et al., 2020). Among cognitive processes, optimism bias and high-risk perception have been shown to have a negative effect on protective behaviors (Cihan et al., 2020; DiMaria et al., 2020; Fragkaki et al., 2021; Rajaonah &amp; Zio, 2020; Teovanović et al., 2021; Wise et al., 2020). The findings of our study indicate that moral processes have been associated with protective behaviors (Devereux et al., 2021). In addition, as Diaz and Cova (2021) have suggested, the extent to which individuals adhere to official recommendations during the pandemic is contingent upon their individual moral values. The phenomenon of social exclusion, as narrated by our participants has been identified as a significant demotivator of compliance in other studies (e.g., He et al., 2020). Consequently, the perception of discriminatory and exclusionary behaviors directed towards infected individuals result in reluctance to adhere to self-quarantine measures (He et al., 2020). Additionally, research suggests that the disease period exerts a significant influence on the post-disease period. For example, individuals who have survived the disease demonstrate a greater propensity to comply with the recommended precautions (Ulu &amp; Aslantürk, 2021). Our findings align with these research findings. Moreover, our interviewees mentioned that the pandemic elicited negative emotional responses, which also concurs with the existing literature. Individuals reported experiencing and expressing a range of negative emotions including anxiety, anger, and depression, to a notable degree during the pandemic (Kim et al., 2022). Our participants who worked in contact tracing teams narrated that there is a general lack of compliance with the rules of wearing masks and maintaining physical distance when at home and with relatives. Güzeloğlu (2021) argued that the domestic and collective situations present significant challenges in terms of complying with the precautions, a finding that is also supported by intercultural comparisons (Liu &amp; Mesch, 2020; Ruiz et al., 2021). Besides, our findings pointed out the importance of individuals’ endorsement of cultural norms and values in terms of (non)adherence with precautionary measures taken during the 325 Psikoloji Çalışmaları - Studies in Psychology pandemic. This finding concurs with the literature as well (e.g., Ünlü &amp; Çiçek, 2021). As evidenced by observations and analyses of other scholars, cultural rituals have undermined the efficacy of protective measures throughout the pandemic (e.g., Primc &amp; Slabe-Erker, 2020). Conclusion In accordance with the principles of inductive reasoning, we argue that our results are aligned with the perspective put forth by Cohen and Leung (2011), who suggest the approach of Culture x Person x Situation (CPS) to understand any phenomenon related to human behaviors. This approach posits that, despite the existence of individual differences, people’s behaviors are not independent from the cultural milieu in which they are embedded. Each individual possesses a distinctive personality, yet they are socialized within a specific cultural context. It is not always possible to comprehend behavior that is culturally specific, even when the cultural context is similar. Because there are individual differences in adherence to cultural values and norms. Furthermore, individual and cultural differences may vary depending on the situation or the context. We argue that the holistic approach of CPS provides a comprehensive framework for the re-categorization our findings. Consequently, our themes of cultural norms and rituals can be grouped under the level of culture in the CPS model. Moreover, our themes of cognitive processes, moral processes, feeling of trust, emotions, experiences, and adherence with measures can be classified at the level of person, while the themes of the contact tracing task and spatial factors can be seen as aspects of the situation. Such a holistic view of a phenomenon is not readily amenable to exploration through the logic of deduction Our work, based on phenomenology thus allows us to make such abstractions. In this sense, our work makes a contribution to existing the literature by demonstrating the process of qualitative induction, whereby certain qualitative features are assembled in a manner that resembles another theoretical framework that is already part of the scientific knowledge base.In short, this study allowed us to explore the diversity of human (re)actions as described by experts rather than homogenization and generalization of human behaviors in a global crisis characterized by uncertain circumstances.&nbsp;

Rational Emotive-Behavior Therapy (REBT), formulated by Albert Ellis in the latter half of the 20th century, is a psychotherapeutic method that draws inspiration from the principles of the ancient Greek philosopher Epictetus (DiGiuseppe et al., 2013). Epictetus famously asserted, “It’s not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters” (DiGiuseppe et al., 2013, p. 4). REBT posits that psychological disturbance in individuals is primarily caused by irrational beliefs. These beliefs are categorized into four primary dimensions: demandingness, frustration intolerance, awfulizing, and global evaluation of worth, as outlined by DiGiuseppe et al. (2013). In REBT, irrational beliefs hinder individuals from viewing events realistically, leading them to perceive reality in a way that aligns with their desires (DiGiuseppe, 1996). This perspective can be obstructive in achieving life goals (Turner, 2016). In contrast, beliefs focus on preferences, tolerance, realistic evaluation of negativity, and acceptance (Dryden, 2013). Rational beliefs, unlike irrational ones, are flexible and empirically supportable. REBT advocates that rational and irrational beliefs can coexist and do not necessarily exclude each other (Ellis et al., 2010). REBT has been recognized as an effective method in reducing or eliminating psychological disturbance. Research has demonstrated its effectiveness in treating a range of disorders including anxiety, depression, anger, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and academic procrastination (Düşmez, 2013; Kabadayi &amp; Yüksel, 2021; Matin et al., 2012; O’Toole et al., 2019; Turner et al., 2020). The advancement of technology, particularly in Cognitive Behavioral Therapies (CBT), has been the catalyst for the emergence of new application areas. Smartphones and mobile applications have become integral to psychotherapy, enabling individuals to receive psychological assistance through these mediums (Callan et al., 2021; Koffel et al., 2018). Applications developed for smartphones have shown positive effects in reducing psychological disturbances (Bush et al., 2017; O’Toole et al., 2019). Mobile applications can be used as a complement to face-to-face psychological services or as a standalone service (Boettcher et al., 2018). Typically, these applications function as self-help models aiming to reduce psychological distress (David &amp; David, 2019). Research has demonstrated the effectiveness of mobile application-supported mental health services (Arshad et al., 2019). The widespread use of smartphones among young people today further underscores the importance of integrating mobile applications into mental health services (Crompton &amp; Burke, 2018; Uğur &amp; Turan, 2015). The growing interest of youth in smartphones and their use of technology for psychological support necessitates further research into mobile application-supported interventions. Consequently, this study aims to examine the effect of a MARBEP on university students’ rational and irrational beliefs.&nbsp;MethodThe study employed a 2x3 quasi-experimental design, incorporating pre-test, post-test, and follow-up measurements to assess the impact of the interventions over time. The study focuses on the dependent variable, which is defined as rational and irrational beliefs, and the independent variable, which is termed the MARBEP. The essence of the quasi-experimental design is the implementation of a specific intervention program to the intervention group and the evaluation of this intervention’s effects through measurements taken from both the intervention and control groups. This approach is used to understand the changes produced by the intervention in the dependent variable. In the study, the pre-test, post-test, and a 4-week follow-up test were conducted for both the intervention and control groups. These measurements are crucial in determining the potential impact of the mobile application-supported education program on irrational beliefs.In this study, following an announcement, 107 voluntary participants were screened using the Rational Beliefs Form and the Irrational Beliefs Form, resulting in the selection of 32 participants for the intervention and control groups based on their scores. Participants were randomized to these groups, with the final count being 28 due to various dropouts (13 females and 1 male in the intervention group, 10 females and 4 males in the control group). The average age was determined as 21.64 (SD = 1.45, agerange = 19-24) for the intervention group and 21.86 (SD = 1.70, agerange = 20-26) for the control group.The study used the Rational and Irrational Beliefs Scale (Kabadayi &amp; Güven, 2024) to collect data. The Gazi University Ethics Committee initially provided ethical approval (Date 04.11.2021, Research Code No: 2021-999). Following the announcement of the study, applications were reviewed to form the intervention and control groups. During the study, the intervention group participated in an 8-week online MARBEP. Conversely, the control group received no intervention during the same period. Post-test measurements and a 4-week follow-up test were performed at the end of the program.&nbsp;The MARBEP is an 8-session psychoeducational program based on REBT, with each session lasting 120 min. The main aim of the program is to enhance the rational belief skills of university students by promoting healthy emotions and functional behaviors. The content of the program was tailored to the objectives of the sessions and the desired outcomes. Accordingly, a mobile application encompassing videos, reading materials, exercises, audio&nbsp;recordings, and note-taking features was developed for the participants in the intervention group.In the data analysis phase of the research, the first step involved verifying the integrity of the collected data. Following this, the Shapiro-Wilk test was employed to assess the data’s conformity to a normal distribution. After confirming that the data were normally distributed, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) for repeated measures was performed to examine the differences between the groups. Variance equality was assessed using the Levene test, and the homogeneity of variances across measurement times was evaluated through the sphericity test. Where sphericity was not met, corrections were made to the degrees of freedom and analyses were performed using JASP.ResultsIn this study, the initial analysis indicated that the scores for rational and irrational beliefs in the pre-test, post-test, and follow-up measurements for both the intervention and control groups were normally distributed (p &gt; .05).To assess the variations in scores for irrational beliefs across the pre-test, post-test, and follow-up test phases within both the intervention and control groups, ANOVA for repeated measures was used. A significant difference was identified in the scores for irrational beliefs across the pre-test, post-test, and follow-up test in both groups (𝐹(2-26) = 36.902, p &lt; .05). Specifically, the post-test and follow-up scores for irrational beliefs in the intervention group were significantly lower than the pre-test scores. Additionally, the η 2 value indicated a high effect size.For examining the changes in scores for rational beliefs across the pre-test, post-test, and follow-up test in both groups, one-way ANOVA for repeated measures was again used. There was a significant difference in the scores for rational beliefs across these measurements for both groups (𝐹(1.632-26) = 17.997, p &lt; .05). This means that the post-test and follow-up scores for rational beliefs in the intervention group were significantly higher than the pre-test scores. Moreover, the η 2 value indicated a high effect size.DiscussionThis research explores the impact of a MARBEP on university students’ rational and irrational beliefs. The results of the present study showed that there was a significant increase in the rational belief scores of the experimental group participants and no significant change in the rational belief scores of the control group participants. Moreover, there was a significant decrease in the irrational belief scores of the experimental group participants and no significant change in the irrational belief scores of the control group participants.The literature presents studies on the effectiveness of REBT-based interventions (Artıran &amp; DiGiuseppe, 2022; Kabadayi &amp; Yüksel, 2021; Kara et al., 2023; Vertopoulos &amp; Turner, 2017; Yıkılmaz, 2009) and CBT interventions incorporating mobile applications (Hur et al., 2018; Tang &amp; Kreindler, 2017). However, research on mobile applications based on REBT is limited, such as the PsyPills application, which focuses focusing on transforming irrational beliefs into rational ones (David, 2019; David &amp; David, 2019). The efficacy of "CBT MobileWork" combining REBT and CBT in treating depression (Callan et al., 2021) and the effectiveness of a CBT-based application for cancer patients (Greer et al., 2019) have been demonstrated.The results of this study indicate that the MARBEP is effective in decreasing irrational beliefs and increasing rational beliefs, highlighting the potential of REBT-based mobile applications. Applications like “Rational Parenting Coach” also exist in this field, yet they have limited experimental intervention dimensions (David, 2019). The education program follows similar methods as previous studies, such as videos and exercises, but further research is required to establish the effectiveness of mobile application-supported intervention programs (Kabadayi &amp; Güven, 2022).The findings obtained from implementing the MARBEP indicate significant changes in rational and irrational beliefs, demonstrating the effectiveness of REBT-based interventions. The research incorporates stages of psychological assistance processes based on REBT, including the ABC model, B-C path, disputing of irrational beliefs, and focusing on effective rational beliefs (DiGiuseppe et al., 2013; Dryden, 1983; Dryden, 2006; Hickey &amp; Doyle, 2018), aligning with similar REBT studies in the literature (Kabadayi &amp; Yüksel, 2021; Kartol, 2018; Rezaeisharif et al., 2021).Limitations of the study include focusing solely on rational and irrational beliefs as dependent variables and examining only the intervention and control groups, indicated that future research could incorporate a broader range of variables and placebo groups. Additionally, more detailed studies on the usability of the mobile application are recommended. The data of the present study are limited to the responses obtained from self-report questionnaires, and the study group of this research consists only of university students.In conclusion, this study is the first to examine the effectiveness of a MARBEP on university students’ rational and irrational beliefs, highlighting the role and potential of mobile applications in psychological assistance processes. It also points to the need for more research and policy support to enhance the development and effectiveness of mobile applications.

Although poverty is an important problem, there is no consensus on the definition of poverty. A recent view indicated that poverty is a multidimensional construct (Bourguignon &amp; Chakravarty, 2019) involving income, education, health access, food security, and life standard indicators. Alkire and Santos (2014) proposed the multidimensional poverty index measuring poverty in three domains: health, education, and life standards. Therefore, the current study also assessed poverty in terms of multiple dimensions (income, education, food insecurity, and material hardship).Poverty is related to several risk factors for children’s development, such as less access to stimulating materials, living in unhealthy neighborhoods (Evans, 2004), living in chaotic houses (Evans et al., 2005), and experiencing negative parenting behaviors (Magnuson &amp; Duncan, 2002). These risk factors have a negative impact on children’s development, including cognitive skills, mental health, education, and behavioral development (e.g., Hair et al., 2015; Schmidt et al., 2021). However, the living conditions in urban and rural poverty show differences. For instance, people have lower education levels and less access to services (Champion &amp; Hugo, 2017), but they have stronger relationships (Paul et al., 2003) in rural regions than in urban regions. Additionally, rural parents are more intrusive (Bornstein et al., 2008), more punitive, and more authoritarian (Lampard et al., 2000), and they invest less in their children’s education (Roscigno et al., 2006); although there are studies reporting similar parenting behaviors (Nacak et al., 2009). However, studies examining the differences in parenting and living conditions that are important for children’s development are limited in Turkey (i.e., Nacak et al., 2011; Özdemir et al., 2020).The current study aims to compare urban and rural poverty in terms of poverty level, home and neighborhood quality, mothers’ parenting behaviors, and beliefs. It was hypothesized that • H1. a) income, b) education level, and c) food insecurity would be higher in urban poverty than in rural poverty. In addition, the differences in material hardship were compared for exploratory reasons.• H2. Home stimulation would be higher in urban poverty than in rural poverty. In addition, the role of chaos would be exploratorily compared between urban and rural poverty. • H3. a) The physical resources and b) neighborhood stress would be higher in urban regions than in rural regions; whereas, c) the social and physical structure of the neighborhood and d) social support would be higher in rural poverty than in urban poverty. Additionally, the differences in parenting behaviors and beliefs would be exploratorily compared, considering the contradictory findings in the literature.&nbsp;MethodThe participants were 275 mothers living in the urban and rural regions of Ankara and Mersin (149 from urban regions, 126 from rural regions). The age range of their children was between 49 and 82 months. The mothers’ education levels were below a university degree. Mothers completed a package of scales. Poverty was measured by several scales. The income-to-needs ratio and parent education were calculated by the information in the demographics form, food insecurity was assessed through the Community Childhood Hunger Identification Project (CCHIP) Hunger Index (Wehler, Scott, &amp; Anderson, 1992), and material hardship was measured by the Household Income-Expense Questionnaire (Baydar et al., 2010). In addition, educational materials and activities in the home environment were assessed through the Home Environ ment Questionnaire (Baydar &amp; Bekar, 2007; Bradley &amp; Caldwell, 1984; Miser &amp; Hupp, 2012), and chaotic conditions in the house were measured through the Confusion, Hubbub, and Order Scale (CHAOS; Matheny et al., 1995). For neighborhood quality, mothers completed the Neighborhood Ecologies Survey (Baydar et al., 2007), which assessed the social and physical structure of the neighborhood, physical resources, and social support in the neighborhood; and the Neighborhood Stress Scale (Kotchick, Dorsey, &amp; Heller, 2005) to assess stress factors in the neighborhood. Mothers’ parenting behaviors were assessed via the Parent Attitude Scale (Demir &amp; Şendil, 2008) for autonomysupporting behaviors and the Child Rearing Questionnaire (Paterson &amp; Sanson, 1999; Yagmurlu &amp; Sanson, 2009) for inductive reasoning behaviors. In addition, open-ended questions were asked to mothers regarding their beliefs on what is necessary for a child to develop, the content of their conversations with their children, and their expectations regarding their children’s educational attainment. Finally, mothers completed a checklist of their children’s daily activities.&nbsp;ResultsUrban and rural poverty were compared in terms of living conditions and parenting behaviors via one-way ANOVA. The results indicated that the income-to-needs ratio, fathers’ education level, food insecurity, home stimulation, physical resources in the neighborhood, neighborhood stress, and mothers’ expectations for their children’s educational attainment were higher in urban poverty, as compared tı rural poverty. In addition, the mothers’ inductive reasoning behaviors were marginally higher in urban mothers than in rural mothers. On the other hand, the social and physical structure of the neighborhood and social support were higher in rural poverty than in urban poverty. However, mothers’ education levels, material hardship, household chaos, and autonomy-supporting behaviors were not different among mothers living in urban and rural poverty.The mothers’ beliefs on child development and the content of their conversations with their children were compared via the chi-square test. Their beliefs on child development were very similar; only rural mothers reported neighborhood opportunities more frequently than urban mothers. In addition, although marginal, play/friends, guidance about life, and clothing were reported more frequently by urban mothers, whereas parenting behaviors and everything were also reported marginally more frequently by rural mothers. For the conversations, urban mothers reported advising children and stimulating activities more frequently, whereas rural mothers reported future and household chores more frequently. Lastly, the children’s daily activities were compared via the chi-square test. The results indicated that children in urban regions were playing with tablets more frequently, whereas children in rural regions were playing with animals and on farms.DiscussionThe poverty variables differed in urban and rural poverty, as expected. Income, fathers’ education, and food insecurity were higher in urban poverty. Previous studies (i.e., Lampard et al., 2000; Roscigno et al., 2006) also indicated higher income and education levels in urban poverty. Job opportunities in urban life might bring more money, and it may be easier to access education opportunities (Champion &amp; Hugo, 2017). Low levels of food insecurity might be explained by the agricultural activities in rural life (Zezza &amp; Tasciotti, 2010). However, material hardship was not different between urban and rural poverty. Specific materials might differ in urban and rural poverty rather than the general score. For instance, families in urban poverty were less likely to have houses or cars, whereas families in rural poverty were less likely to have computers, internet connections, and washing machines. Home stimulation was also higher in urban poverty, which might be explained by the higher income levels of urban families; that is, families with high income might have high purchasing power to buy educational materials (Votruba-Drzal, 2003). On the other hand, chaotic conditions were similar in urban and rural poverty, indicating that chaotic houses are characteristic of both types of poverty.&nbsp;In terms of neighborhood quality, physical resources and neighborhood stress were higher in urban poverty. In rural regions, people have difficulty reaching resources (Vernon-Feagans et al., 2010), and higher crime rates might lead to higher stress levels in urban poverty (Ewart &amp; Suchday, 2002). Additionally, social relations were stronger in rural poverty. Previous studies have indicated that social support is higher in rural regions (Baydar et al., 2010), and this finding aligns with the strong social relations in these regions.&nbsp;Mothers’ autonomy-supporting behaviors were quite similar in urban and rural poverty; however, inductive reasoning behaviors were marginally higher in mothers living in urban poverty. The mothers’ education levels were similar in urban and rural poverty in this study. Since education level is a predictor of parenting behaviors (Carr &amp; Pike, 2012), the similarity in mothers’ parenting behaviors might be explained by the similar education levels. The similarity in parenting behaviors was also in line with a previous study conducted in Turkey (Nacak et al., 2011). Additionally, mothers’ beliefs on the factors affecting children’s development were quite similar, in addition to the content of their conversations and children’s daily activities in the current study. The differences in the answers reflected the differences in the living conditions of urban and rural poverty. For instance, mothers in urban poverty more frequently talked about stimulating activities, whereas mothers in rural poverty more frequently talked about household chores, and these differences reflect the differences in their daily lives.When mothers’ expectations of children’s educational attainment were examined, urban mothers expected their children to attain higher education levels. Previous studies have indicated that parents in rural regions invest less in their children’s education (Roscigno et al., 2006). This finding is in line with their low expectations about children’s educational attainment. Lastly, children’s daily activities had differences between urban and rural poverty. Urban children were playing with tablets, whereas rural children were playing with animals and on farms more frequently. Another study conducted in Turkey also indicated that children in urban life were more likely to engage in indoor activities, while children in rural life were more likely to engage in outdoor activities (Özdirenç et al., 2005), which supported the findings of the current study.&nbsp;The study has some limitations. The sample is not representative of the people in Turkey, which restricts the generalizability of the findings. Because mothers completed the scales, social desirability and common method variance problems might have existed.The current study examined the similarities and differences in urban and rural poverty in terms of poverty indicators, home and neighborhood quality, and parenting in a detailed way. The findings have implications for social policies and future studies. Social policies might focus on improving the life conditions in urban and rural regions regarding region-specific problems. Moreover, future studies might use current findings to interpret their results regarding children’s development in urban and rural poverty conditions.

The scientific study of aging has been ignored for a long time. The neglect of older adulthood, despite extensive research on infancy, childhood, puberty, and earlier stages of adulthood, can be considered a form of social ignorance. With the aging of the world population, understanding all the dimensions of the aging process has currently become important.Aging is a multidimensional process. The present review focuses on the cognitive aging dimension, specifically on how social and emotional factors affect older adults’ memory performance. A common view about cognitive aging is that all memory processes go downhill due to neural deterioration, but this view is biased. Scientific findings showing that the memory performance of older adults can change across conditions when social and emotional factors are controlled is an indication that memory measurements do not solely reflect neural changes Social and emotional factors that can constitute a disadvantage for older adults can make their memory performance appear lower than it can be (e.g., Mazerolle et al., 2020; Zhang et al., 2021).Age is one of the initial attributes that is perceived about an individual. This in turn affects how the individual is judged. Ageism is a prejudiced view of aging and older adults. Unfortunately, a large-scale study showed that ageism is the most common type of discrimination that is prevalent in 35% of adults over the age of 18 (Ayalon, 2013). The source of prejudice and discrimination toward older adults is stereotype threat. Stereotypes are generalized beliefs about a group. Most stereotypes of aging are negative, and older adults internalize these stereotypes. Stereotype threat can hinder the performance of older adults on memory tests by reducing their self-efficacy (Chasteen &amp; Cary, 2015).Studies show that just being in the laboratory is enough for older adults to experience stereotype threat, and this, in turn, lowers their memory performance (Chasteen et al., 2005; Hess et.al., 2003). In the laboratory, the effects of stereotype threat are commonly studied by creating two conditions such that in one of them, the social threat for older adults is higher. Findings using different paradigms consistently revealed that the memory performance of older adults was lower in the high-threat conditions than in the reduced-threat conditions. Negative stereotypes of aging can be explicitly activated by manipulations such as emphasizing in the instructions that the tasks measure memory (e.g., Hess et al., 2004; Rahhal et al., 2001) or by providing texts supporting the idea that memory is impaired with aging before the memory measurements (Hess et al., 2003). The findings show that the memory performance of older adults decreases in the condition in which stereotype threat is higher, compared to the condition in which the threat is reduced by using neutral instructions or texts. The implicit activation of stereotypes, such as by subliminal presentation of stereotype-related words also shows that older adults’ memory performance decreases under negative stereotype conditions compared to positive ones (Levy, 1996; Stein et al., 2002).The performance of older adults also changes on standardized tests that are commonly used to screen for predementia depending on whether the stereotype threat is high. A recent study showed that in the threat condition in which the comparison of the memory measurements with a young group was emphasized, 40% of the older adults received scores that were within the range for predementia diagnosis. Only 10% were within that range when the threat was reduced by emphasizing that the memory test is age-fair (Mazerolle et al., 2020). In a similar study, the scores of young and older adults on predementia diagnostic tests were also closer to each other in the reduced threat condition than in the threat condition (Mazerolle et al., 2017). These findings suggest that even some of the mild cognitive impairment diagnoses for older adults may reflect the effects of stereotype threat on memory performance instead of neural deterioration. This can contribute to older adults’ stigmatization and social isolation.The relationship between being exposed to aging stereotypes in everyday life and older adults’ cognitive performance errors has also been shown in more ecologically valid studies that involved keeping diaries (Ma et al., 2023).Taken together with the laboratory findings showing that the implicit activation of stereotypes can also impair memory performance, stereotypes of aging do not need to be explicitly stated in everyday verbal communication to affect older adults. A discriminating gaze or a barely noticeable discriminatory behavior can also adversely affect older adults’ memory performance.The motivational and emotional shifts that older adults experience can also affect their memory performance. Older adults value positive emotional experiences because they perceive the time left in their lives as shorter (Carstensen, 2021; Carstensen et al., 1999). The preference for positive experiences extends to their cognitive tendencies as well. Older adults’ attention is directed toward positive stimuli and away from negative stimuli (Mather &amp; Carstensen, 2003). Even the neural response to negative stimuli is reduced below a baseline (Mather et al., 2004). While this finding can be interpreted as a general age-related reduction in the neural response at first glance, the reduction was only for negative stimuli. For positive stimuli, age differences that favor young adults were not observed in the magnitude of the neural response. Information that is attended to is more likely to be retrieved (e.g., Craik, 2020). Expectedly, older adults’ memory performance for positive information is also better than for negative information (Fung &amp; Carstensen, 2003; Sakaki et al., 2019; Zhang et al., 2021). Thus, the emotionally neutral research materials that are often used in memory measurements create a disadvantage for older adults who are more motivated to remember positive information.DiscussionTaken together, these findings emphasize the importance of considering the effects of stereotype threat and the emotional changes that older adults experience. Besides the social and emotional factors, memory measurements can also be influenced by biological and physical changes that older adults experience, such as the changes in their circadian rhythms (May et al., 2023) and motor performance changes (e.g., Frolov et al., 2020). Taking memory measurements under conditions that can provide an advantage for young adults, but a disadvantage for older adults can bias the cognitive aging findings.Scientifically unbiased findings on cognitive aging reflect that not all memory processes are impaired to the same extent. Age-related declines are more often observed on working memory tasks that require the information to be temporarily kept active in memory and to be processed (Park et al., 2002) and on tasks that do not provide a context for the target information (Craik &amp; Rose, 2012). However, on semantic memory tasks that involve the retrieval of acquired facts (Balota et al., 2000) and on implicit memory tasks that involve the automatic retrieval of information (Fleischman et al., 2004), age-related declines are less evident. Even on memory tasks that reveal age differences, the effects of social and emotional factors cannot be denied. An unbiased perspective on cognitive aging does not present an unrealistic picture. It only underscores that aging is multidimensional and that performance measurements need to be taken by considering these dimensions, without making biased assumptions about the results.From an unbiased perspective, aging can be seen as a period of change rather than one of absolute loss. Some changes in older adulthood can also provide some advantages. For example, when emotional changes are considered, the cognitive tendency of older adults toward positive information may support their emotion regulation (Mather, 2012) and well-being (Scheibe &amp; Carstensen, 2010). This view is also complemented by findings showing that older adults interpret their memories of autobiographical events more positively (Gallo et al., 2011), that they use fewer negative words when they talk about their autobiographical memories, and that, unlike young adults, their focus on the negative aspects of social events fades in several months (Ford et al., 2018).When social changes are considered, the social isolation of older adults is not a naturally unfolding process with aging. It is one of the outcomes of prejudice and discrimination toward older adults. Accordingly, it may be important for aging researchers to focus on research investigating the conditions under which prejudice toward older adults can be reduced. Prior findings showed in other contexts that forming accurate impressions of a group that is the target of prejudice (Neuberg, 1989), making individuals take the perspective of that group (Brannon &amp; Walten, 2013), and providing scientific information that contradicts stereotypes (Blair et al., 2001; Park et al., 2007) may be useful in reducing prejudice toward that group. Similar applications may be useful in reducing prejudice toward older adults as well.Given that language is the basis for most thought processes, the language used in research settings and the way research findings are communicated can influence perceptions and understanding of aging. For example, addressing older adults as “old” in the laboratory may create stereotype threat and reduce older adults’ performance. While the term “older” is established in the English language, this is not the case for all languages. A multidimensional approach to the study of aging in the laboratory, by considering the changes that older adults experience and the dissemination of unbiased research findings on aging to the public by using aging terms that would not trigger prejudice and discrimination can be important steps toward reducing ageism.

There is a close relationship between language and the self. A comprehensive exploration of language requires examining syntax, semantics, and pragmatics. Syntax deals with the structured arrangement of linguistic expressions, semantics focuses on generating meaning from these arrangements, and pragmatics emphasizes how expressions change with context, bringing social relations into focus. The concept of the self is understood in terms of consciousness, self-consciousness, and social relationships. From an evolutionary perspective, the brain has developed specialized mechanisms to process information about the world, recognize itself, and communicate with others (Heatherton et al., 2007). Consciousness means to perceive, feel, and respond to the world (Armstrong, 1981), while self-consciousness requires organizing and understanding mental states, i.e., it is the “awareness of awareness” (Carruthers, 2000) and the capacity for self-reflection (James, 1890/1950). Social interaction becomes complex and refined through language (Austin, 2020; Vygotsky, 1998), enabling us to build relationships. Therefore, language and the self can be viewed as structures encompassing the world, oneself, and social relationships. This study proposes that the structure of language (syntax-semantics-pragmatics) mirrors the structure of the self (consciousness-self consciousness-social relations). By analyzing these three common components, the study seeks to illuminate how aphasia affects the perception of self. Reviewing the extensive literature on aphasia’s impact on language and communication, this research aims to address the following questions: What is the relationship between language and self? How does language impairment in aphasia affect the self? Before answering these questions, detailed explanations of language, self, and the world are necessary.Language, the World and the SelfThe ability to use language is unique to humans (Chomsky, 2018; Pinker, 2021). However, being a competent speaker requires a developmental process (Crick, 1997; Skinner, 1957). Similarly, the self develops through experience (Crocker &amp; Canavello, 2012; Mead, 1934; Vygotsky, 1998). An infant cannot speak the language proficiently; therefore, it is challenging to consider the infant as possessing a fully developed self (Eagleman, 2022a). Over time, the infant acquires characteristics typical of an adult, such as abstract thinking, humor, reasoning, and existential inquiry (Dumontheil, 2014; Piaget, 1954/2000). Language and the construction of the self seem to be complementary processes.In addition to its objective meaning, the term world also encompasses other people and social relationships (Kelly, 1955/1991; Heidegger, 2008; Sartre, 2009). Naming objects, describing events, and representing facts by language enable us to make sense of the world (Lycan, 2022). On the other hand, language is the expression of thoughts in spoken/written form (Martinich, 1996). Language makes communication with other people (an essential part of the world) possible.In this study, the term “self” refers to a complex entity that consciously interacts with the world (Eagleman, 2022b; Hume, 2009) and is considered self-conscious (Carruthers, 2000; Damasio, 2022; James, 1890/1950; Kant, 2015). It possesses mental states such as emotions and thoughts (Descartes, 1993, 2006; Locke, 2013), maintains its identity over time (Garrett, 2002; Locke, 2013), and is socio-culturally defined (Marx ve Engels 2004; Mead, 1934; Vygotsky, 1998). Research on the self suggests that consciousness, self-consciousness, and social relations are essential elements of the self.Consciousness of the world requires expressing sense data through grammatical and logical linguistic structures. Additionally, self-consciousness deepens through linguistic self-expression. Finally, social interaction, which makes communication possible, relies on language. Given these explanations, a strong relationship between language and the self is expected to be evident. At this point, closely examining language acquisition and exploring the languageself relationship in the context of language development will clarify the framework of the study.Language Acquisition and the SelfInfants are beings capable of producing only meaningless sounds; however, these sounds quickly transform into syllables, then meaningful words, and eventually into sentences (Bleile, 2004). In the early years, babies can only express themselves by crying and/or vegetative sounds; then, they gradually evolve into adults who perceive the world, express their emotions/thoughts and communicate with others via verbal language. From the very beginning, babies have an intention to communicate (Vygotsky,1998). When exposed to verbal language, babies discover that everything has a name and meaning (Vygotsky, 1998). At this stage, semantics gain importance in communication.Starting from sounds, the baby acquires the syntactical rules of language. Using linguistic knowledge, they can communicate more effectively with others and socialize (pragmatic development) (Owens and Farinella, 2019). At this point, it would be appropriate to explain the similarities between language structure and self-structure.Relationship Between Language and the Self: Syntax, Semantic and PragmaticThe self has been defined as a concept that can be understood through consciousness, self-consciousness, and social relationships. The self develops throughout life and should be approached from a developmental perspective. Language consists of three components: syntax, semantics, and pragmatics. (Morris, 1938). The relationship between the self and language can be better understood by defining these three components.SyntaxSyntax deals with the principles and processes that determine how sentences are constructed in a language (Chomsky, 1957/2002). Formal organization is a necessity in the process of the mind’s understanding of the world. This feature of the mind implies being conscious. With this feature, humans can ensure the systematic arrangement of linguistic expressions. Consciousness also emerges as a prerequisite for the rules and principles of the elements of language (syntax).SemanticsSemantics investigates how linguistic expressions establish a connection with the world and carry specific meanings (Lycan, 2022). Humans are capable of creating meaningful coherence from the data in the world. They also attribute meaning to their mental states and behaviors by organizing and interpreting them (Gazzaniga, 1978). Through these meaningful thoughts, they gain knowledge about themselves. To be self-conscious, mental contents should be expressed linguistically. In this case, semantics requires assuming self-consciousness.PragmaticsPragmatics considers how a linguistic expression is used by the speaker in terms of context, purpose, and audience (Austin, 2020; Bates, 1976). As socio-political beings (Aristotle, trans. 1975), humans cannot be thought apart from social relationships (James, 1890/1950; Mead, 1934; Vygotsky, 1998). The self extends beyond the body through communication and social interaction. This indicates the relation between pragmatics and social interaction.Effects of Aphasia on the Self The relationship between language and the self, particularly under the impacts of aphasia, presents an interesting subject. Having problems in language structures such as syntax, semantics, and pragmatics can lead to profound transformations in the perception of the self. Aphasia is often caused by cerebrovascular events (CVEs) that damage areas of the brain related to linguistic functions, especially in the left hemisphere. It impairs one’s ability to comprehend and produce language (Ardila, 2014). The manifestation of aphasia varies by affected brain regions, leading to different symptoms (Basso, 2003); for example, one person may struggle to understand sentences, while another may lose the ability to select the right words (Damasio, 1992). This language disorder is not merely a medical issue but also a psychological and social one. The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) approach emphasizes the need to consider aphasia from a broader perspective, including body functioning/structure, environment, social participation and self/identity (Simmons-Mackie &amp; Kagan, 2007). This multifaceted impact means that aphasia sufferers often experience significant changes in personal identity, social roles, and relationships; this indicates that they might not feel like the same person they were pre-aphasia (Simmons-Mackie &amp; Elman, 2011).To form the self, one must be able to remain the same over time, in other words, to preserve personal identity (Damasio, 2022; Locke, 2013). Interviewing aphasic individuals, Taubner et al., (2020) asked them whether they still felt like the same person after aphasia. These individuals, emphasizing the distinction between pre- and post-aphasia, express that they are no longer the same person. Aphasia patients frequently express a sense of self-loss, reporting that they "are not the same person as before" (Hinckley, 2006). Language loss is thus deeply tied to the concept of self, as it hinders the expression of one’s inner thoughts and the organization of external stimuli, which areessential elements in forming self-awareness. In the early stages of aphasia, people tend to idealize their former selves (Brumfitt, 1985, 1993). The change in the self is so dramatic that some individuals often view aphasia as a form of "identity theft" (Shadden, 2005).Syntax is one of the language components affected in aphasia (Benson, 1979). According to Damasio (1992), the essence of aphasia is the disruption of the mechanisms used in linguistic processing and translating thoughts into language. Individuals with Broca’s aphasia typically exhibit limited language production, showing agrammatical features (Ardila, 2010, 2014). The impairment of syntax negatively affects these individuals’ ability to organize linguistic input and process sensory data, which is indispensable for the consciousness of the world.Focusing on semantics, Broca’s cases have challenges in naming, understanding and producing irony, metaphorical and abstract words (Sheppard &amp; Sebastian, 2021). In Wernicke’s cases, the situation is more severe since linguistic productions lack meaning (Ardila, 2010). This condition, referred to as "empty speech" makes it difficult to express their thoughts meaningfully. In the absence of this, semantic impairments negatively affect individuals’ selfconsciousness.Pragmatic aspects, which are essential for social interaction, are also impacted in aphasia. In such cases, aphasic individuals distance themselves from social participation and become isolated. This isolation due to communication barriers damages social networks; it further leads to the erosion of the self. Ultimately, aphasia’s impact on syntax, semantics, and pragmatics illuminates how integral language is to the formation and preservation of the self. This suggests that language loss through aphasia represents not only a loss of communication but also a transformation of identity itself.DiscussionThe study showed that there is a relationship between the self and language, focusing on aphasia. This study also attempts to illustrate this by asserting that the dimensions of the self (consciousness, self-consciousness, and social relation) correspond closely with the components of language (syntax, semantics, and pragmatics). Findings of the research on aphasia cases conclude that language loss could indeed be a form of the loss of self.In some cases of aphasia, individuals become unable to use the rules of language; their verbal productions seem to be agrammatical (Ardila, 2014; Basso, 2003). For the listeners, these people sound like uttering chaotic voices that make no sense. They simply cannot manage to organize linguistic elements into an organized and rule-governed unity. Since the conscious awareness enables the perceptual organization of the world, these aphasics, due to problems with syntax, might have problems with that as well.Some other cases of aphasia have problems with semantics (Basso, 2008; Sheppard and Sebastian, 2021). The linguistic productions of these cases lack meaning (Ardila, 2010). This condition, referred to as empty speech, will also affect the individual’s self-awareness. Based on these points, while discussing the relationship between the self and aphasia, Shadden (2005) characterizes aphasia as identity theft. These studies demonstrate that aphasia negatively affects individuals’ awareness of themselves (Hinckley, 2006; Taubner et al., 2020), that is, their self-consciousness.When social relations are considered a component of the self (Shadden, 2005), the changing pragmatic nature of aphasia and the resulting communication disorder inevitably affect social relationships and, consequently, the self. A person who cannot express themselves without language and has difficulty in interacting with others experiences social isolation and loneliness (Nyström, 2006). These feproblems with that as well.elings lead to the individual's alienation from others. This distance from the social relationships gradually diminishes the perception of the self, even threatening to destroy it.Aphasia actually leads individuals into a kind of loneliness. Nyström (2006) considers aphasia as a form of existential loneliness due to these effects. Individuals with aphasia experience emotional, cognitive, social, and existential problems (Musser et al., 2015). Brumfitt (1985; 1993) argues that individuals with aphasia lose their previous self. Later researchers take a step further and view aphasia as an identity theft (Shadden, 2005). In light of the above explanations, aphasia causes a person to lose their sense of self. Answering the question "who am I?" becomes more difficult for individuals with aphasia.

Narrative competence plays a crucial role in the development of children’s linguistic and cognitive skills in many respects. Therefore, investigating children’s narrative skills provides enriched information in both domains. Narrative competence involves an integration of multiple systems of language as it requires the simultaneous planning of a meaningful content in terms of a coherent structure, a cohesive language use and a concern for the listeners’ informational needs (Johnston, 2008).&nbsp;Producing narratives requires a coherent organization of the events making up the story around a goal in a way that renders them meaningful in terms of the intentional states of the characters and to express them by use of complex syntactic structures and appropriate lexical items. (Berman &amp; Slobin, 1994; Johnston, 2008). Research on bilingual children’s narrative development is often limited to specific language-pairings (i.e. Spanish/English) and minority contexts where low-socioeconomic status (SES) is another variable playing a key role (Miller et al., 2006).&nbsp;The present study aimed to investigate the effects of L2 (L2: Second language, English) on L1 (L1: Mother tongue, Turkish) and language competence reflected in narratives, both in structural and linguistic aspects. To investigate these questions, narrative skills task was performed with monolingual and bilingual children utilizing the wordless Frog, Where are you? (Mayer, 1969).&nbsp;Method One hundred and twelve five- and seven-year-old monolingual (N = 61) and bilingual (N = 51) children participated in the study. Narrative skills were evaluated only for Turkish for monolingual children, whereas bilingual children were tested in English as well, the latter test taking place on a separate day. In order to assess vocabulary competence for L1 and L2 Türkçe İfade Edici ve Alıcı Dil Testi (TIFALDI, Kazak-Berument &amp; Güven, 2013) and Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test-4 (PPVT-4, Dunn &amp; Dunn, 2012) were administered. In order to assess executive functioning – working memory, the backward digit span task of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children- R (WISC-R, Wechsler, 1974) was used.ResultsNarratives were transcribed and narrative quality was evaluated using Pearson (2002) coding scheme. Narratives were coded on four dimensions: Frog story elements, which refers to the episodic components of the story, sequence, which refers to overall plotline of the story, perspective-and-affect, which refers to referencing and internal states, and engagement, which corresponds to effort for listener engagement (Pearson, 2002). For each dimension 2 (Age: 5-and 7-year-olds) x 2 (Language group: monolingual and bilingual) factorial ANOVAs were conducted. For frog story elements, monolinguals (M = 6.13, SD = 2.81) performed better than bilinguals (M = 4.25, SD = 2.91) for both age groups, F(1, 107) = 12.18, p &lt; .001, η p 2 = .10. For sequence, monolinguals (M = 7.73, SD = 2.59) again performed better than bilinguals (M = 5.35, SD = 2.36), F(1, 107) = 27.39, p &lt; .001, η p 2 = .20. For perspective and affect, monolinguals was a main effect of language group (F(1, 107) = 23.87, p &lt; .001, η p 2 = .18) as well as language and age interaction (F(1, 107) = 30.08, p &lt; .001, η p 2 = .02). Post-hoc t-test showed that five-year-old monolinguals and bilinguals did not differ in their performance, (t(51) = 0.36, p = .72), whereas seven-year-old monolinguals (M = 7.36, SD = 1.45) were better than bilinguals (M = 2.60, SD = 2.63), t(56) = 8.79, p &lt; .001. Finally, for engagement, monolinguals was a main effect of language group (F(1, 107) = 40.48, p &lt; .001, η p 2 = .27) as well as language and age interaction (F(1, 107) = 15.04, p &lt; .001, η p 2 = .12). Post-hoc t-tests indicate that there was no difference between five-year-old bilingals and monolinguals, t(51) = 1.78, p = .08. Seven-year-old monolinguals (M = 5.85, SD = 0.91) were better than bilinguals (M = 3.00, SD = 2.04), t(56) = 7.16, p &lt; .001. Monolingual children (M = .50, SD = .15) were better at incorporating more complex linguistic structures into their narratives compared to bilinguals (M = .36, SD = .19), F(1, 107) = 16.99, p &lt; .001 η p 2 = .14.&nbsp;&nbsp;DiscussionOverall, the present study made it possible to see the effects of early and intense L2 exposure on L1 by utilizing narratives elicited in both L1 and L2. Narratives of bilingual&nbsp;children have been studied more often in societies where L1 is not the dominant language (e.g., Akinci, Jisa, &amp; Kern, 2001; Kaufman, 2001; Kupersmitt &amp; Berman, 2001; Viberg, 2001), with a focus on the development of L2 and often with no data for L1 monolinguals that match the minority’s L1, with some exceptions (e.g., Verhoeven &amp; Boeschoten, 1986). In this respect the results of the current study are important as they provide information on bilingual narrative development in an L1 dominant, high-SES context. Findings raise questions regarding how early immersion schooling should start and how it should be designed to enhance both L1 and L2.

In current study, it was aimed to systematically review studies examining the effectiveness of forgiveness interventions for children and adolescents.Method This study was a systematic review. The literature review was conducted for 2010-2019 years, in the databases of Wiley Online Library, Taylor and Francis, Springer Link, Scopus, Science Direct, Sage Journals, EBSCOhost and TR Index, between November 2018 and March 2019. The terms of “forgiveness intervention”, “forgiveness group”, “forgiveness therapy”, “forgiveness education” and “forgiveness program” were used for the search. The following selection criteria were identified: (a) studies involving forgiveness group intervention for children and adolescents, (b) studies involving information about the content of intervention programs, (c) studies showing the effects of applied programs by using statistical data. The exclusion criteria were as follows: (a) studies not writing in Turkish or English, (b) studies with only an abstract, (c) studies not using group intervention, (d) review studies, and (e) descriptive studies. A total of 529 research articles were reached and 6 articles have been selected for inclusion within the scope of the study.Results In terms of research group and study design, obtained results are following: Park, et al. (2013) conducted the study with female adolescents (N = 48, Mage = 15.79). This study was based on 3 (pre-test, post-test, follow up test) x 3 (experimental, control, and placebo group) mixed design. Enright, et al. (2014) conducted the study with 8th grade students (N = 132, Mage = 13.48). This study was based on 3 (experimental group) x 2 (pre-test, post-test) mixed design. Taysi and Vural (2016) carried out their study with 4th grade students (N = 122, Mage = 10.00). Their study was based on 3 (pre-test, post-test, follow up test) x 2 (experimental and control group) mixed design. In the study of Vassilopoulos, et.al (2018), the participants were 6th grade students (N = 42, Mage = 11.14). This study was based on mixed design including qualitative and quantitative methods. Quantitative dimension was based on 2 (pre-test and post-test) x 2 (experimental and control group) mixed design. Freedman (2018) conducted the study with high school students (N = 21, Mage = 17.3). Research design was mixed design including qualitative and quantitative methods. Quantitative dimension was based on 2 (pre- and post-test) x 2 (experimental and control group) mixed design. Finally, Rahman, et al. (2018) conducted the study with female early adolescents (N = 8, age range: 11-12). Research design was 3 (pre-test, post-test, follow up test) x 2 (experimental and control group) mixed design.&nbsp;When the studies examined in terms of features of applied programs, following results were obtained. Park et al. (2013) applied “Forgiveness Program for Aggressive Victims”. Enright et al. (2014) applied a class guidance program based on process model. Program focuses importance of forgiveness, aims to gain forgiveness understanding and decrease anger. Taysi and Vural (2016) applied a class guidance program based on process model. Program is “Joyful Forgiveness” for 9-11 age children. Vassilopoulos et al. (2018) applied a class guidance program. Program includes recognition and expression of emotions, relations among emotions, thoughts and behaviors, value of love, forgiveness, developing an act plan for applying forgiveness. Freedman (2018) applied a small group guidance program based on process model. Program includes offence, anger, commitment to forgive, reframing, empathy, compassion and absorption of pain. Rahman et al. (2018) applied forgiveness therapy based on process model. The first 16 sessions were applied as individual therapy; the latter 16 sessions were applied as group therapy.&nbsp;When the studies examined in terms of results, following results were obtained. In the study of Park et al. (2013), after intervention forgiveness, empathy and grades increased, anger, hostile attribution, aggression and delinquency decreased in experimental group. In the study of Enright et al. (2014); after intervention, forgiveness, and willingness to forgive&nbsp;increased, and prejudice decreased in all groups. In the study of Taysi and Vural (2016), forgiveness and hope scores of experimental group increased at post-test. Anger scores of experimental group increased at follow up test. In the study of Vassilopoulos et al. (2018), at post-test, forgiveness and life satisfaction increased, anger decreased in favor of experimental group. In the study of Freedman (2018), a significant difference in favor of experimental group was found in terms of forgiveness, anxiety, depression and hope; however, there wasn’t significant difference between groups in terms of self-esteem. In the study of Rahman et al. (2018), after intervention, forgiveness increased and anger decreased in experimental group.&nbsp;Discussion According to obtained results, forgiveness group interventions for children and adolescents are effective on enhancing of information and skills about forgiveness and development of positive attitudes towards forgiveness. Besides, forgiveness interventions help children and adolescents to cope anger, to decrease depression and to increase hope, and so positively affect mental health.

In recent years, different methods for controlling the emotional effects caused by the demands in work place began to attract attention. The job demands-resources model is a functional model for assessing the well-being of the employee (Demerouti &amp; Bakker, 2011). Schaufeli and Bakker (2004), pointed out that it should be more effective to decrease the job demands rather than to increase job resources. From this point of view, it is considered that it is important to prevent a negative job-related affective well-being perception in order to enhance the factors related to quality of work life. Humor is an important phenomenon that can have a positive effect on the individual’s perception of well-being. It may decrease the negative job-related affective well-being perception. Based on this idea, this study aims to investigate the moderating role of occupational humorous coping on the relationship between job demands and a negative perception job-related affective wellbeing.MethodThe sample of this research constitutes 319 employees from various cities of Turkey working in the education and health sectors. For measuring job demands, a scale (Xanthopoulou, Bakker, Demerouti, &amp; Schaufeli, 2007) with four sub-scales including workload (4 items), emotional demands (6 items), emotional dissonance (5 items) and organizational changes (7 items); for measuring the negative job-related affective wellbeing perception, 10 items measuring negative job-related affective well-being perception of the Job-related Affective Well-being Scale (Van Katwyk, Fox, Spector, &amp; Kelloway, 2000) and for measuring occupational humorous coping, the Occupational Humorous Coping Scale (23 items), which was developed by Doosje, De Goede, Van Doornen and Goldstein (2010), was used.Results For testing the hypotheses, hierarchical regression and simple slope analyses were conducted. According to the hierarchical regression results, in the first model, job demands have a positive effect on the negative job-related affective well-being perception (B = 0.45, SH = 0.06; R2 = .19, p &lt; .001). In the second model, when occupational humorous coping was added to the equation, the explanatory strength of the model increased (ΔR2 = .18, p &lt; .001) and it was revealed that occupational humorous coping has a negative effect on the negative job-related affective well-being perception (B = -0.44, SH = 0.05). In the third model, the interaction of job demands and occupational humorous coping has an effect (B = -0.15, SH = 0.05) on the negative job-related affective well-being perception (ΔR2 = .02, p &lt; .001). Occupational humorous coping has a moderating effect on the relationship between job demands and the negative job-related affective well-being perception. Thereafter, simple slope analysis and a test for difference in simple slopes revealed that high occupational humorous coping weakens the positive relationship between job demands and the negative job-related affective well-being perception (for high occupational humorous coping: b = .24, t = 3.816, p &lt; .001; for low occupational humorous coping: b = .41, t = 9.171, p &lt; .001; for difference in simple slopes t(604) = 2.096, p &lt; .05). According to this, as the occupational humorous coping tendency increases, the positive relationship between job demands and the negative job-related affective well-being perception decreases.&nbsp;DiscussionThe results of this study showed that employees who have a low ability of occupational humorous coping are at a disadvantage when compared to employees who have a high ability of occupational humorous coping in the context of a negative job-related affective well-being perception against job demands. According to this, it can be said that the occupational humorous coping skills are not only important for the health of employees, but also important for responding to job demands. People are more sensitive to negative stimuli than to positive stimuli (Garcia, Rosenberg, Erlandsson, &amp; Siddiqui, 2010), and the increase in negative feelings in the workplace lead to increasing counterproductive behavior (Fox, Spector, &amp; Miles, 2001). In this context, this study examined the negative jobrelated affective well-being perception. Turkey is a high power distance country (Kabasakal &amp; Dastmalchian, 2001), which means that the status differences in organizations are important. It is thought that high power distance can be a restrictive factor for using humor in the workplace. From this point of view, there can be a greater need for an encouraging organizational climate. The negative and positive affective well-being perceptions can be examined separately. The decrease in negative affective well-being perception does not mean an increase in positive affective well-being perception. Therefore, in future studies, it will be useful to examine the positive job-related affective well-being perception in relation to job demands and also the effects of occupational humorous coping in the context of these relationships.

Yapay Zeka konusundaki gelişmeler ve akademik yayıncılıkta görülen uygulamalar dikkate alınarak oluşturulan Yapay Zeka Politikası, yazarların, hakemlerin ve editörlerin bu türden teknolojilerin kullanımında uymaları gereken editöryal ve etik ilkeleri içerir. Yapay Zeka politikasının oluşturulmasında, aşağıdaki kaynaklar dikkate alınmıştır:Committee on Publication Ethics <a href="https://publicationethics.org/guidance/cope-position/authorship-and-ai-tools" target="_blank">(COPE) - Authorship and AI tools</a>; International Committee of Medical Journal Editors <a href="https://www.icmje.org/recommendations/browse/roles-and-responsibilities/defining-the-role-of-authors-and-contributors.html#four" target="_blank">(ICMJE) - Artificial Intelligence (AI)-Assisted Technology; World Association of Medical Editors  (WAME) Chatbots, Generative AI, and Scholarly Manuscripts</a><a href="https://www.icmje.org/recommendations/browse/roles-and-responsibilities/defining-the-role-of-authors-and-contributors.html#four"></a>Yapay Zeka destekli teknolojiler (Büyük Dil Modelleri [LLM'ler], sohbet robotları veya görüntü oluşturucular gibi), metin, görüntü, ses ve sentetik veriler dahil olmak üzere çeşitli içerikler geliştirebilmekte ve üretebilmektedir. Bu yetenekleri etik ve güvenli bir şekilde kullanıldığında üretkenliği artırabilir ve yeniliği teşvik edebilir; ancak insan yönlendirmesi olmadan kullanımında doğru olmayan ve taraflı sonuçlar; atıf verme konusunda eksikler ve hatalar; gizlilik ve fikri mülkiyet haklarının korunmasında eksiklikler; yazar ve yayıncıların haklarının potansiyel ihlali gibi riskler taşımaktadır. IUPress, Yapay Zeka kullanımı konusunda söz konusu riskleri bertaraf etmeyi amaçlayan aşağıdaki temel ilkeleri benimser:  <ul><li>İçerik üretiminde kullanılan (metin, şekiller, resimler ve kod dahil ancak bunlarla sınırlı olmamak üzere) her türlü Yapay Zeka ile ilgili ayrıntılar çalışmanın uygun bölümünde (bilgi notu olarak ve/veya metod kısmında) beyan edilmeli ve net biçimde açıklanmalıdır. </li><li>Hiçbir Yapay Zeka aracı hiçbir bilimsel çalışmada yazar olarak listelenemez. </li><li>Yazarlar, herhangi bir şekilde Yapay Zeka kullanımı durumunda da çalışmalarının doğruluğu, bütünlüğü ve özgünlüğünden sorumludur; başkalarının fikirleri, verileri, kelimeleri veya diğer materyallerini doğru referanslama ve atıf ile sunmakla yükümlüdürler. </li><li>Hakemler ve editörler gönderilen çalışmayı tamamen ya da kısmen hiçbir üretken Yapay Zeka uygulamasına yükleyemez. </li></ul>IUPress yayınlarının editöryal süreçlerinde, Yapay Zeka ile üretilmiş içerikleri tespit eden yardımcı araçlar editörlerin kullanımındadır. Öte yandan okunurluğu, dil ve grammeri iyileştirme ve geliştirme konusunda önerilerde bulunan Yapay Zeka araçlarının kullanılması yaygındır ve IUPress  yayınlarında bu türden Yapay Zeka araçları editörlerin ve yazarların gözetiminde kullanılabilir.

<ul><li>Yazarlar, gönderdikleri çalışmayı oluştururken <a target="_blank">Yapay Zeka destekli teknolojiler (Büyük Dil Modelleri [LLM'ler], sohbet robotları veya görüntü oluşturucular gibi) </a>kullandılarsa, bunu  beyan etmekle yükümlüdür. </li><li>Yazarlar hem ön yazıda hem de sunulan çalışmanın uygun bölümünde (bilgi notu olarak ve/veya metod kısmında), hangi Yapay Zeka aracını ve hangi versiyonunu ne amaçla kullandıklarını açıklamalıdır. </li><li>Yapay Zeka destekli teknolojilerden yararlanılarak oluşturulan içeriğin ve alıntıların doğruluğu, geçerliliği ve uygunluğunun sağlanması, olası hata, tutarsızlık ve taraflı sonuçların giderilmesi yazarların sorumluluğundadır. </li><li>Yazarlar, Yapay Zeka destekli teknolojiler ile üretilmiş metinlerde intihal potansiyeli olduğunu dikkate alarak, olası intihali bertaraf etmek için orijinal kaynakları mutlaka kontrol etmelidir. Kontrol ettiğini ve kaynakların orijnal kaynaklar olduğunu teyid etmelidir.  </li><li>Yapay Zeka destekli araçlar (ChatGPT gibi) yazar olarak listelenemez çünkü çalışmanın doğruluğundan, bütünlüğünden ve orijinalliğinden sorumlu olamazlar ve bu sorumluluklar yazarlık için şarttır. Bu nedenle, Yapay Zeka destekli teknolojilerin kullanımını içeren tüm materyallerden yazarlar sorumludur. Yazarlar, makalede yer alan ve çalışmanın hipotezlerini, yorumlarını, sonuçlarını, sınırlamalarını ve çıkarımlarını bildiren tüm ifadelerin kendi fikirlerini temsil ettiğinden emin olmalıdırlar.  </li><li>Yazarların, Yapay Zeka araçlarını temel araştırmacı ve yazar sorumluluklarının yerini alacak, aşağıdaki şekillerde kullanarak oluşturdukları çalışmalar bilimsel yayıncılık ve yayın etiği ilkelerine aykırıdır ve bu türden çalışmaların yayınlarda yer almasına izin verilmez: <ul><li>Titiz revizyon olmadan metin veya kod oluşturma, </li><li>Sağlam bir metodoloji olmadan eksik verileri ikame etmek için sentetik veri üretimi,  </li><li>Özetler veya ek materyaller de dahil olmak üzere her türlü hatalı, sentetik içerik oluşturulması </li><li>Yapay Zeka kullanımı ile görüntü ve şekillerin (resimler, çizelgeler, veri tabloları, tıbbi görüntüler, görüntü parçacıkları, bilgisayar kodları ve formüller) veya orijinal araştırma verilerinin oluşturulması ve manipüle edilmesi (bir görüntü veya şekil içinde belirli bir özelliğin artırılması, gizlenmesi, taşınması, kaldırılması veya eklenmesi).</li></ul></li></ul>

Hakem sürecinde gizliliğin korunması, değerlendirilen çalışmanın bu süreçte paylaşılmaması veya kullanılmaması esastır.  <a></a><a href="https://publicationethics.org/sites/default/files/ethical-guidelines-peer-reviewers-cope.pdf" target="_blank">(COPE – Ethical Guidelines for Peer Reviewers</a>) <ul><li>Hakemler, kendilerine değerlendirme için gönderilen bir makaleyi veya herhangi bir bölümünü gözden geçirme, değerlendirme veya karar verme sürecine yardımcı olması için üretken Yapay Zeka araçlarına veya Büyük Dil Modellerine yüklememelidirler; zira hakemlerin bu türden Yapay Zeka araçlarına içerik yüklemesi yazarların gizlilik ve mülkiyet haklarını ihlal eder.  </li><li>Bilimsel bir makalenin incelenmesi, yalnızca insanlara atfedilebilecek sorumluluktur. Hakem değerlendirmesi için gereken eleştirel düşünme ve orijinal değerlendirme bu teknolojinin kapsamı dışındadır ve teknolojinin makale hakkında yanlış, eksik veya önyargılı sonuçlar üretme riski vardır. Hakem raporu ve karar mektupları, hakemlerin ve editörlerin gönderilen içeriğe ilişkin kişisel değerlendirmelerini yansıtmalıdır. Hakem, raporunun içeriğinden sorumludur ve hesap vermekle sorumludur. </li><li>Yapay Zeka araçları, hakem değerlendirmesi ile bağlantılı olarak hakem değerlendirme raporu dilinin kalitesini artırmak için (çeviri veya dil düzenlemesi için) sınırlı bir şekilde kullanılabilir. Böyle bir kullanım olduğunda, hakem raporu iletirken, kullanımı beyan etmelidir. </li><li>Bir başvuruda üretken Yapay Zekanın uygunsuz veya açıklanmamış kullanımından şüphelenen hakemler, endişelerini dergi editörüne bildirmelidir. </li></ul>

Editörler dergiye gönderilen makalelerin değerlendirme sürecinde gizliliğinin korunmasını sağlamakla yükümlüdürler, değerlendirilen çalışmanın bu sürece dahil olan taraflar dışında paylaşılmaması veya kullanılmaması esastır <a href="https://publicationethics.org/files/Code_of_conduct_for_journal_editors_Mar11.pdf" target="_blank">(COPE – Code of Conduct and Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors)</a>.<ul><li>Editörler, yazarların gizlilik ve mülkiyet haklarını ihlal edebileceğinden, gönderilen bir makaleyi veya herhangi bir bölümünü gözden geçirme, değerlendirilme veya karar verme sürecine yardımcı olması için üretken Yapay Zeka  araçlarına veya Büyük Dil Modelleri'ne yüklememelidir. </li><li>Bilimsel bir makalenin editoryal değerlendirmesini yönetmek, yalnızca insanlara atfedilebilecek sorumluluklar anlamına gelir. Üretken Yapay Zeka veya Yapay Zeka destekli teknolojiler, editörler tarafından bir makalenin değerlendirme veya karar verme sürecine yardımcı olmak için kullanılmamalıdır, çünkü bu iş için gereken eleştirel düşünme ve orijinal değerlendirme bu teknolojinin kapsamı dışındadır ve teknolojinin makale hakkında yanlış, eksik veya önyargılı sonuçlar üretme riski vardır.
