Türkkan, Tuğba; Odaci, Hatice
Mental health issues affect millions of people worldwide, leading to negative outcomes in various areas such as academic achievement, job performance, and quality of life. Women are known to be more prone to mental health problems than men, a phenomenon explained by biological sensitivity, genetic and hormonal differences, physiological stress responses, and exposure to environmental risk factors. However, research examining the impact of gender roles on mental health remains limited. Gender roles shape individuals' thought patterns, self-esteem, and emotion regulation strategies, making them significant factors that can influence mental health. In this context, the study aims to explore the effects of gender norms on mental health from a feminist perspective and evaluate the role of gender-based antecedents in this process through a review of the current literature. The study findings reveal that traditional gender roles negatively affect women’s mental health, while approaches promoting equality yield positive outcomes. Enhancing women’s access to education and economic independence is a crucial step toward reducing gender-based inequalities. Additionally, implementing gender equality policies and increasing inclusive representations in the media can mitigate the adverse effects on mental health. Education, awareness campaigns, and supportive social policies have the potential to reduce the impact of gender roles and improve individuals’ mental health. This study aims to guide effective mental health policies and targeted interventions.

Demir, Süleyman
This study aims to examine the semantic and pragmatic features of the three female-referential words “bayan,” “kadın,” and “karı” using a corpus-driven approach. Accordingly, colligations, collocations, semantic preferences, and semantic prosodies of the words were analyzed using concordance lines obtained from the Turkish National Corpus (TNC) with an “extended lexical unit model.” To this end, the concordance lines of each word were subjected to multiple readings, and recurring formal and semantic patterns were classified to determine the semantic relationships between words. The findings show that words have different discursive functions and social representations. The word “bayan” is concentrated in institutional, formal, and neutral contexts; in classificatory and labelling areas of use, while not carrying a distinct emotional prosody. “Kadın,” on the other hand, exhibits a multi-layered pattern of meaning in semantic fields such as emotional evaluation, motherhood/family roles, cultural identities, and political discourse, in addition to physical description; it develops positive and negative prosodies depending on the context. The word “karı,” on the other hand, is used in pejorative, slang, and derogatory contexts; it carries a predominantly negative connotation, producing a distinct negative prosody through insulting adjectives, demeaning comparisons, and masculine possessive discourse. The study demonstrates that female-referenced words are shaped at the level of linguistic choice by gender ideologies, value attributions, and discursive positioning. In this respect, the findings provide important clues for broader sociolinguistic research on how representations of women are constructed.
- MakaleAçık Erişim2026Kadın âşıkların kendilerine biçilmiş geleneksel rollere cinsiyet eşitliği bağlamında eleştirel yaklaşımları
Yıldırmış, Fatma
Âşıklık geleneği yüzyıllardır toplumun sesi olmuştur. Şairler; mutluluklarını, sevdalarını, dönemlerinin tarihi-sosyal-siyasi hayatını, özlemlerini, beklentilerini kısacası bütün duygu ve düşüncelerini şiirleri aracılığıyla hem bireysel hem bütünsel biçimde aktarmışlardır. Genellikle erkek egemen icracı konumunda olan gelenekte sayıları az olsa da kadın âşıkların varlığı bilinmektedir. Fakat bu kadın şairlerin şiirlerine ulaşmak ve onlar hakkında bilgi edinmek günümüz şartlarında pek de mümkün değildir. Geçmiş dönemde yaşamış kadın şairlerin hakkında bilgi olmaması varlıklarıyla ilgili değil, onların kadın kimlikleriyle ilgilidir. Geleneksel toplumlarda kadının sosyal, siyasi ve edebî alanlarda görünmesine “namus, ayıp, günah” gibi kavramların yaptırımlarından dolayı pek sıcak bakılmamıştır. Günümüze gelindiğinde bu anlayışın değişmesi, kadının ve kadın şairlerin özgür ve görünür olması, her ortamda şiirlerini icra etmesi hususunda kadın âşıkların çabaları dikkat çekicidir. Kadın âşıklar, kadının sadece aşk şiirlerinde geçmesini eleştiren, toplumsal her alanda kadının varlığını, yerini sorgulayan ve bunları kısıtlayıcı davranışların eleştirildiği şiirler yazarak ve yayımlayarak seslerini duyurmaya gayret etmişlerdir. Bu makalenin amacı âşıklık geleneği içerisinde yer alan günümüz kadın temsilcilerin kadının toplumsal cinsiyet rolünü, anneliğini, kadınlığını, sanatçı kimliklerini, var ve görünür olma mücadelelerini kendi ürettiklerinden örnekler vererek nasıl ele aldıklarını incelemektir. Makalede bahsi geçen temsilcilerin geleneği temsil biçimlerini, bulundukları konumun durumunu ve bu durumun neden-sonuç ilişkilerini sorgulayarak değerlendirilmiştir. Bu makale, bu mücadeleci duruşa hem akademik anlamda bir katkı sağlayacak hem de yapılacak çalışmalara kaynaklık edecektir.

Günay, Mehmet Akif
Bu çalışma, sosyal medya fenomenlerinin (influencer) marka farkındalığı oluşturmadaki rolünü, özellikle tanınma, hatırlanırlık, akla gelen ilk marka ve marka hâkimiyeti boyutları çerçevesinde incelemektedir. Araştırma, nitel yöntemle yürütülmüş; Gümüşhane ilinde yaşayan, Instagram kullanan ve belirli içerik üreticilerini takip eden 18 yaş üzeri 15 kadın katılımcıyla yarı yapılandırılmış görüşmeler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Elde edilen veriler tematik analiz yoluyla değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular, içerik üreticilerinin marka farkındalığını çoklu kaynaktan maruziyet, tekrar, bağlamsal sergileme ve mikro-öğrenme dinamikleri aracılığıyla kademeli olarak inşa ettiğini göstermektedir. Katılımcılar, içerik üreticilerinin tekrarlı ve gündelik yaşam bağlamı içinde sunduğu içerikler sayesinde markalara yönelik göz aşinalığı geliştirdiklerini ve bu sürecin markaları üst-zihin (top-of-mind) düzeyine taşıdığını ifade etmektedir. Ayrıca marka ile içerik üreticisi arasında kurulan çağrışımsal bağların hatırlama ve tercih süreçlerinde belirleyici olduğu saptanmıştır. Bununla birlikte, bulgular tekil ve mutlak bir marka hâkimiyetinden ziyade, hâkimiyete yönelen bir bilişsel yapılanmaya işaret etmektedir. Çalışma, sosyal medya fenomenlerinin pazarlama temelli kurduğu iletişimin marka farkındalığı üzerindeki rolünü statik bir çıktıdan ziyade, dinamik ve süreç odaklı bir yapı olarak ele alarak literatüre özgün bir katkı sunmaktadır.

Günes, Mustafa
This article reads the male first-person narrators of Julian Barnes's The Sense of an Ending and The Only Story as gender microaggressors. Focusing on microaggression developed in social and feminist psychology, and on contemporary feminist philosophy's redescription of misogyny, the article argues that the rueful, self-critical retrospection these novels are usually praised for also serves as a vehicle for the quiet reproduction of patriarchal ideology. At the root of these microaggressions lies what the article terms 'frustrated entitlement', the felt grievance of someone who believes a tribute has gone unpaid. Feminist narratology supplies the analytic tools required to make this argument precise. Close reading distinguishes microaggressions performed by the younger protagonist within the storyworld from those enacted by the older narrator in the telling, and shows that both are absorbed into a rhetorical structure of 'bonding unreliability': the narrators name the gendered patterns of their own thought, and that very naming becomes the licence by which the patterns are kept in place. Set against the louder retrosexism of the postwar British male confessional novel in its more satirical and self-aggrandising mode, Barnes's decorous, retrospectively contrite narrators emerge as the most refined instance of an underexamined formal investment in contemporary British letters: the patient maintenance of patriarchal continuity through the voice of the man who is sorry.

De, Prabal K.; Tümay, Muhammed
Using data from the Turkish Demographic Health Survey and a Regression Discontinuity Design, we estimate the effects of an exogenous increase in mandatory schooling on educational mobility among women in Türkiye. Our findings indicate that compulsory schooling may increase upward educational mobility where women attend education levels higher than their parents, particularly mothers. Additionally, we find such effects not only for the level at which schooling became compulsory but also at higher levels, showing a magnification of the initial impact.
- MakaleAçık Erişim2026Think political leader — think he or she? A multi-country test of a gender-fair language intervention to reduce gendered leadership stereotypes
Peters, Kim; Jeftić, Alma; Ballard, Timothy; Zhou, Steven; Steffens, Niklas K.; Inceoglu, Ilke; Ryan, Michelle K.; Bongiorno, Renata; Eagly, Alice; Arriaga, Patrícia
Women are greatly underrepresented in positions of political leadership around the world. In seeking to explain this underrepresentation, some researchers have pointed to people's tendencies to stereotype leaders as more similar to men than women as these tendencies can support the belief that women are unsuited to leadership. This project aimed to test whether a subtle linguistic intervention was able to ameliorate this gender bias in political leadership stereotypes across different languages and national contexts (country/region N = 42, language N = 30, sample N = 22,996). Specifically, this project examined whether gender-fair language (e.g., the use of paired pronouns ‘he or she’) can reduce the tendency for people to stereotype political leaders as more similar to men than women. To increase the rigor with which these stereotypes were measured, this project complemented the dominant ‘cheap talk’ measure of personal stereotype content with an incentivised community measure of this content. As expected, participants stereotyped political leaders as more similar to men than women; this pattern was stronger on the incentivised measure of community stereotypes. Unexpectedly, there was no evidence that paired pronouns reduced this bias (there was weak exploratory evidence that paired nouns increased participants' tendencies to stereotype political leaders as more similar to women). This project suggests that the ability of gender-fair language interventions to ameliorate gender bias in the political leadership domain may be limited.
- MakaleAçık Erişim2026Social Gender in a Language Without Grammatical Gender: Relational and Status Encoding in Kazakh Female Nominations
Gulzhan, Shokym; Bagila, Muratbek; Kürüm, Mesut; Zhanna, Tektigul; Nurbol, Saduakas; Nurdaulet, Aldashev; Zhanar, Amirgali
This article examines how Social Gender is organized in Kazakh in the absence of grammatical gender. The study is based on a lexicographically verified corpus of Kazakh female nominations, supplemented by a limited contrastive set of gender-neutral and male-linked kinship terms. The material includes basic female reference terms, kinship and affinal nominations, status-hierarchical designations, evaluative and address forms, socially conferred female roles, widowhood and step-relation terms, as well as analytic constructions marking age and social personhood. Methodologically, the analysis combines lexical-semantic, linguistic-anthropological, sociolinguistic, and pragmatic approaches within a framework that distinguishes Linguistic Gender, Natural Gender, and Social Gender. The results show that Kazakh female nominations form a structured lexico-pragmatic subsystem in which female reference intersects with relationality, hierarchy, evaluation, politeness, speaker dependence, and personhood-related distinctions. The analysis further demonstrates that this subsystem is not uniformly gender-differentiated: alongside female-specific nominations, Kazakh also employs selectively gender-neutral kinship terms and classificatory extensions, revealing where gender salience is strengthened, backgrounded, or redistributed. Social Gender in Kazakh is thus encoded not through grammatical agreement, but through a distributed system of relational, status-based, evaluative, politeness-based, speaker-dependent, and age/personhood-related nominations.

Ediz, Çiçek; Uzun, Sevda
Aim: This study aimed to assess the lived experiences of adolescent pregnant young women, with a specific focus on the psychosocial aspect of adolescent pregnancy, using a phenomenological approach. Design: Employing the phenomenological research method, semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted between 3 August and 18 August 2023 with 15 young women (mean age = 21.86 years; SD = 1.06) living in a province in eastern Turkey who had undergone adolescent pregnancy 3–5 years before. Methods: The criterion sampling method, a form of purposive sampling, was used to form the sample group. Interviews were carried out until data saturation was reached. All interviews were recorded and transcribed, and thematic analysis was utilised to analyse the data. The study adhered to the COREQ checklist for reporting. Results: Through data analysis, three main categories (reflections on adolescent pregnancy, challenges due to adolescent pregnancy, and effects of adolescent pregnancy) and nine sub-themes (emotions, roles and responsibilities, perception of social support, cognitive, emotional, behavioural, mental, physical, and social) emerged. Conclusion: Our study highlights the adverse psychosocial impact of adolescent pregnancy on young women. Young women who got married at an early age before attaining full physical, social, and psychological maturity grappled with the substantial burdens of adolescent pregnancy and adjusting to their new roles. The study’s implications are significant, emphasising the necessity of addressing the psychosocial facets of adolescent marriage and pregnancy, and gaining valuable insights for the future.
- MakaleYalnız künye2026Fertility, family structure, and female labor force participation: evidence from Southern Europe and Türkiye
Beken, Hikmet Gülçin; Kirer Silva Lecuna, Hale
This study investigates how fertility, family structures, and institutional environments shape women’s labor force participation in Southern Europe (Greece, Italy, Spain, Portugal) and Türkiye. Using balanced panel data from 2015 to 2022 and fixed effects models with Driscoll–Kraay standard errors, the analysis identifies a negative relationship between fertility and female employment, though only at marginal levels of statistical significance. Robustness checks using Ridge regression and principal component analysis confirm this finding across alternative specifications. Significant country-level fixed effects reveal considerable heterogeneity, with Portugal and Spain exhibiting higher baseline participation rates and Türkiye recording notably lower values. While the empirical model does not directly measure institutional support, childcare availability, or cultural norms, the comparative literature suggests that cross-country differences in these dimensions likely contribute to the observed patterns. The findings point to the potential importance of integrated policy approaches, including affordable childcare and flexible work arrangements, in supporting women’s employment alongside fertility.

Aktürk, Mehmet Yunus; Bingöl, Orhan
Toplumsal cinsiyet olgusu insan hayatının ve dolayısıyla insani disiplinlerin orta yerindedir. En temelde toplumun kadına ve erkeğe karşı eşitsiz algılarını, yaklaşımlarını ve uygulamalarını ifade eden toplumsal cinsiyet aynı zamanda kadını ikincilleştirmektedir. Kadın, toplumsal cinsiyeti sebebiyle başta ekonomik, siyasal, kültürel ve sosyal alanlarda erkeğin ötekisi halinde değerlendirilmektedir. Bu durum, toplumsal ve bilimsel açılardan görece yeni ele alınmakla birlikte tarihsel bakımdan o denli eskidir. Çünkü tarihin çeşitli dilimlerinde ve medeniyetlerinde toplumsal cinsiyet ayrımının varlığı açıkça görülür. Bu anlamda Eskiçağ Anadolusu’na bakıldığında Hititler dikkate değerdir. Anadolu’nun yazılı tarihini başlatan Hititler, erkek ve kadına dair hayata geçirdikleriyle Anadolu’daki toplumsal cinsiyet eşitsizliklerinin de miladı olarak kabul edilebilir. Dolayısıyla toplumsal cinsiyetin Anadolu’daki sosyolojik başlangıcını Hititlerdeki kadın ve erkeğin gerçekleştirdiği söylenebilir. Bu makalede söz konusu başlangıç incelenmekte, toplumsal kurumları ve genel sosyal ilişkileri dâhilinde Hitit toplumunda kadın ve erkeğin cinsiyet eşitsizliği değerlendirilmektedir.

Malik, Ihyani; Karimullah, Suud Sarim; Okur, Hüseyin; Rahman
The ecological crisis reflects the failure of ethical relations between humans, nature, and power structures, thus demanding a review of the paradigm of domination that underlies these relations. This study analyzed how the principles of Islamic law can be integrated with the ideas of ecofeminism to create more inclusive and sustainable environmental policies. The study used an intersectional approach with comprehensive literature analysis and gender analysis frameworks to understand how social identity affects women's participation in ecofeminism and environmental protection based on Islamic law principles. The results of the study state that the integration of the principles of ecofeminism and Islamic law has excellent potential to create fair and sustainable environmental policies based on justice (‘adl), balance (mizan), and responsibility (khalifah). The concept of khalifah affirms the role of humans as custodians of the earth, provides a theological reason to support environmental conservation and inspires collective responsibility, including the role of women as essential agents. Programs that give women access to land and natural resources increase their participation in agriculture and environmental management, reduce poverty, and strengthen their role as agents of change. However, challenges such as resistance from patriarchal communities, lack of financial and technical support, and the need for ongoing education and training must be overcome. Technology also plays a crucial role in supporting inclusive and sustainable environmental policies.

Demirbağ, Orkun; Örs, Şerife
The COVID-19 pandemic brought significant changes to the education sector, forcing a rapid shift to distance learning that exposed teachers to new challenges, including cyber incivility. This study, grounded in the Conservation of Resources Theory, investigates how mental health problems mediate the relationship between cyber incivility and happiness at work, with gender as a moderating factor. Data were collected from 632 high school teachers in Türkiye, who participated in distance education, using hypothetical scenarios and analysed through the Hayes Process Macro Model 4 and Model 7. The findings reveal that mental health problems significantly mediate the impact of cyber incivility on workplace happiness, with gender moderating this relationship. Specifically, female teachers experienced more mental health issues due to cyber incivility compared to their male counterparts. This research highlights the harmful effects of cyber incivility on teachers’ mental health and provides critical insights for developing policies to address these challenges. The study emphasises the importance of supporting teachers’ well-being amidst the ongoing digitalisation of education. By addressing these issues, the study contributes to a better understanding of the complexities educators face in the evolving digital landscape.

Objective: This descriptive study aimed to determine the awareness levels of women of reproductive age regarding gynecological cancers. Methods: The study was conducted with 379 women aged between 15 and 49 registered at two separate Family Health Centers in Tekirdağ city center between May 2022 and April 2023. Data were collected using the "Gynecological Cancers Awareness Scale" and an "Introductory Information Form." Descriptive statistics including number, minimum, maximum, percentage, mean, and standard deviation were provided using the SPSS 21 package program. Shapiro-Wilk normality test, Independent Sample T-test, One Way ANOVA, Pearson correlation test, and Bonferroni test were used for data analysis. A statistical significance level of p <0.05 was accepted. Results: The mean age of the women in the study was 34 ±11 years, with 61.5% being married. The average Gynecological Cancers Awareness Scale (GCAS) score was 157.1 ±17.1 (range 106-205). Sub-dimension scores were: "Early Diagnosis and Information Awareness" 17.1 ±2.3 (range 10-20), "Risk Awareness" 28.4 ±5.3 (range 13-45), "Prevention Awareness" 22.4 ±3.4 (range 12-30), and "Routine Checks and Serious Illness Perception" 89.0 ±11.9 (range 45-110). In the study, 48.5% of the women knew about early diagnosis methods for gynecological cancers, and 76% were aware of the Cancer Early Diagnosis Screening and Education Center (KETEM). Women who were aware of risky health behaviors and cancer symptoms had higher awareness levels (p <0.05). There was no significant difference between the number of pregnancies and births and awareness levels (p >0.05). Conclusion: The result shows that women have a moderate level of awareness about gynecological cancers; however, their knowledge of gynecological cancer symptoms and awareness of risky health behaviors is higher. Additionally, more than half of the participants (60.7%) have never had a gynecological examination.

Objective: This study examines the effect of risk perception and socio-demographic and obstetric factors on the level of decision-making of pregnant women via the internet. Method: This study employed a cross-sectional and analytical design and was conducted online with 384 pregnant women living in Turkey. Data were collected using descriptive information forms, such as the decision-making scale via the internet on pregnancy and the perception of pregnancy risk scale. Descriptive statistics, including percentages and means, as well as multiple linear regression analysis, were utilized to analyze the data. Results: As the risk perception in pregnancy increased, the level of decision-making via the internet increased (β=0.118, p=0.000). Among pregnant women experiencing pregnancy-related health issues, a significant increase in decision-making via the internet was observed (β=0.092, p=0.046). As the age of women increased (β=-2.623, p=0.013) and income was perceived to be equal to expenses (β=-1.499, p=0.011) or more than expenses (β=-1.953, p=0.023), decision-making via the internet during pregnancy decreased. Unwanted pregnancy has a “reducing” effect of approximately two times on online decision-making (β=-1.919, p=0.026). The number of pregnancies, education and family type were found to have no statistical effect on decision-making (p>0.05). Conclusion: As the risk perception increases in pregnant women, online decision-making also increases. Factors such as some socio-demographic and obstetric factors affect online decision-making of pregnant women.

Türkkan, Tuğba; Odaci, Hatice
Violence against women is a widespread global public health problem. It is also a serious violation of women's human rights. Violence has traumatic effects on the health and well-being of women and the children who witness it. Violence against women is associated with physical, mental, emotional, sexual health, reproductive health problems and death. Violence and gender norms, which are one of the risk factors causing the continuation of violence; also have significant effects on families and societies, and these negative effects cross social and economic boundaries. However, it is also clear that current prevention initiatives and policy responses are insufficient. Mental health professionals have an important role to play in identifying, preventing and responding appropriately to violence against women and may take primary, secondary and tertiary measures to reduce the risk of violence against women. While providing mental health services, İt is very important to be aware of interpersonal violence and to provide gender-sensitive services. When providing these services, the impact of violence against women on mental health and knowledge of potential treatments are considered as a prerequisite. Along with the knowledge about the dynamics of violence, it is considered extremely important to take measures against the risks that weaken women who are disadvantaged due to problems such as gender inequality. For this reason, in this review, the concept of violence against women and the types of violence are explained and in this context, the initiatives that can be made in the field of mental health are included. It is thought that this review will contribute to the awareness of professionals working in the field about the seriousness of the problem and how violence affects women's mental health. It is also hoped that the present study will provide insight into the complex relationship between violence and health outcomes to help improve health policies and prevention responses in the relevant field.

Teknolojinin gelişmesi, kurumsallaşma düzeyinin yüksek olması, iş sahalarının fazlalılığı ve çeşitliliği nedeniyle insanlar yaşamak için kentsel yaşam alanlarını tercih etmektedirler. Kırsal alandan kente yoğun göçün yaşanması kentlerde yeni yerleşim yeri arayışının artması, alt yapı sorunları, ulaşım problemleri, eğitim ve sağlık sorunlarının armasına neden olmaktadır. Bununla birlikte coğrafi koşulların uygun olmamasına rağmen yani doğal afetlerin görülme riskinin yüksek olmasına rağmen insanların afet bölgelerine yerleşim yeri kurmasına neden olmaktadır. Bu durum ise herhangi bir afetle karşılaşılması durumunda toplumsal direncin düşmesine ve kırılganlıkların artmasına neden olmaktadır. Dirençlilik kişilik özellikleri, cinsiyet, eğitim durumu, toplumsal statü, kentsel alt yapı, coğrafi konuma göre değişkenlik göstermektedir. Dezavantajlı gruplar ise bu afetlerden çok daha fazla etkilenmektedir. Dezavantajlı gruplar arasında tanımlanan kadınların direnci sahip oldukları toplumsal cinsiyet rollerinden dolayı daha düşük konumdadır. Bu kapsamda depremde kadının toplumsal cinsiyet eşitsizliğinin beraberinde getirdiği dezavantajlılığın kadınların kırılganlıklarını artırması çalışmanın temel problemini oluşturmaktadır. Depremde kadınların toplumsal cinsiyet rollerinden kaynaklanan kırılganlıklarını ve bu kırılganlıkların nedenlerini ortaya koymak çalışmanın temek amacını oluşturmaktadır.

Buz, Sema; Canli, Muhlise
Turkey is used as a transit country by irregular immigrants because it is at the intersection of the Asian, European and African continents and functions as a bridge between underdeveloped states and developed Western countries in terms of political and economic factors. Immigrants of Afghan nationality rank first among irregular immigrants in Turkey. The reasons such as internal conflict, terrorism, economic and political instability and war in Afghanistan have caused the people to turn to Turkey for a safer and more humane life. Regarding the migration from Afghanistan to Turkey in general, and especially the female immigrants of Afghan nationality living in Trabzon, there are limited field studies on how gender affects and differentiates the migration process. This work is based on a field study to reveal how being a woman in migration affects the migration process and the differences in women's migration experiences. In this research, face-to-face in-depth interviews were conducted with 20 Afghan female immigrants living in Trabzon. These interviews were analyzed through the MAXQDA 12 program and five themes were revealed. The first theme includes views on life in Afghanistan, the second contains views on the immigration process, the third covers changing situations after migration, the fourth involves Afghan immigrants and other women, and the last one comprises the experience of violence before, during and after migration. As a result of the study, it was determined that gender affected the difficulties encountered during the migration process. It was concluded that gender-related assumptions and practices were reconstructed after migration. There are many differences between Afghan female immigrants and women who are the members of the local community in terms of social rights and freedoms. Also it was observed that there is a similarity through religious elements.
