Abstract

Aim: This study aims to compare the violent tendencies of High School students who participate in kickboxing with those of students who do not.Method: In total, 103 licensed kickboxers from Konya were surveyed, including 18 women and 85 men. The sample was selected using a stratified sampling technique. Data analysis was performed using SPSS and LISREL. The statistical "Independent Sampling t-Test" was used to analyze the disparity between the two groups. Confirmatory Factor Analysis was used to ensure the reliability of your scale in this study.Findings: The compliance indices are within reasonable ranges, as shown by the CFA results; this suggests that the scale was adequate for the purposes of the study. Finding a Cronbach’s alpha of.66 indicates that the scale is a credible research tool for this study. The study found that compared to non-kickboxer secondary school students, kickboxer secondary school students had lower violent tendencies.Implications/Novel Contribution: Kickboxing, which incorporates a wide variety of martial arts techniques, has not been the subject of any research on violence in young people. Therefore, this research is expected to add new insight to the existing literature on kickboxing’s impact on young people’s aggressive behavior.

Abstract

Aim: This research intends to look at how girls aged 5 and 6 feel about their own bodies in relation to the dolls that have become increasingly popular with girls in recent years and are seen as reflecting a perfectionist ideal of the female form that is seen as harmful to the development of children in some countries.Method: Data were gathered using a Turkish version of the "Demoulin Self-Perception Scale" created by Bencik (2006). The study included 50 girls from an independent kindergarten in the province of Konya; 25 were assigned to the experimental group, and the other 25 were assigned to the control group. For eight weeks, the children in the experimental group played with dolls representing the ideal woman’s body for one hour per day, while the children in the control group were assured that they did not play with such dolls.Findings: Findings from this study showed no statistically significant difference in the self-esteem subscale between the study’s intervention and control groups. Simultaneously, the self-efficacy subscale showed a statistically significant difference favoring the control group. The experimental group was given dolls that did not depict the ideal female form to play with for eight weeks after the study concluded. No statistically significant changes were observed between the pre-and post-tests given to the experimental group.Implications/Novel Contribution: This study adds to the existing body of literature by highlighting the negative effects on child development when researchers disrupt children’s natural behavior, such as by prohibiting them from playing with dolls in their natural environment. Since children usually do this in a more natural setting with their friends, it is assumed that this is where the effect is most obvious. This section may contain the developmental intervention for children. Doing this work in the wild and contributing new insights and information to the field sets it apart.
