Social Psychology \ 1-1
Leman Pınar Tosun Digital social networks are playing an increasing role in interpersonal communication. Thanks to this environment, we can easily open ourselves to others whenever we want, and we can present ourselves to them as we wish. We can reconnect with friends we lost track of, and when we need social support and urgent information, sometimes we can reach them through social networks in the easiest and fastest way. On the other hand, there are many complaints about social networks that cannot be ignored. It is claimed that social networks harm our privacy and create security problems, cause us to present ourselves to others as someone we are not with our false selves, create an environment where trust and intimacy cannot develop between people, bring depression and unhappiness... The list of complaints goes on and on. In short, in our daily life, "good luck with social media!" We often hear the cries of "no way social media".
This book has been written to provide information and insights that can put all these heated debates about what social networks bring us and what they take from us, on calm and cool ground. The science of social psychology was chosen as a guide to understanding human behavior in social networks. This science offers various perspectives to analyze human relations, which until recently generally flourished in face-to-face environments, but now it is possible to flourish and maintain in digital environments as well. I hope this book, which compiles studies on human behavior in social networks from a social psychological perspective, will contribute to the broadening of readers' views on the subject and deepening their understanding.

These debates, which spread to all areas of life, bring multi-disciplinarity on the ground of science. Among these disciplines, perhaps one of the most important contributions to the scientific literature on morality comes from the science of psychology, with its encompassing curiosity about the human and the human. In the modern science adventure of psychology, the subject of morality, whose traces we find in important researches in developmental psychology, clinical psychology, social psychology, experimental psychology, even industrial psychology and organizational psychology, is gaining visibility day by day and the study of morality from a psychological point of view attracts attention. With this work, which emerged in order to make a modest contribution to this scientific interest and to compile studies on morality systematically, it has been tried to describe a moral psychology framework with both theoretical and applied fields.
Ergün Yörük, Fatih Ordu, Ferhat Bayoğlu, Hacer Çetinkaya Çelebi, Kübra Yılmaztürk Yıldırım, Mustafa Kemal Yöntem, Nursel Topkaya, Ömer Özer, Seray Uluağaç Military psychology is a specialized field of psychology that focuses on understanding and improving the mental health and performance of military personnel. Military psychologists work in a variety of settings, including hospitals, clinics, and military bases in many countries, especially NATO countries, and play a critical role in ensuring that soldiers are mentally prepared for the challenges of military life and receive mental health services.
The field of military psychology emerged during World War I due to the need for mental health services for military personnel. Today, military psychology is a specialized field and encompasses a wide range of activities, including mental health assessments, psychological testing, psychological counseling, and psychotherapy.
This book provides an in-depth perspective on understanding military psychology. It was created by examining extensive research on topics such as the history of military psychology, the difficulties of soldiers' working conditions, combat and post-combat stress reactions. It examines important factors such as stress, trauma, addiction, suicide, and psychological resilience, as well as military personnel selection and even the use of technology in mental health interventions in military settings.
This book is written primarily for mental health professionals serving in military settings, but it is an important resource not only for mental health professionals but also for military leaders.
Muzaffer Çetingüç Nobody thinks of reducing aviation to engineering and technique by considering it as consisting of the engine power and aerodynamic structures of aircraft. But in practice, these technical issues always come to the fore; the person running or using them stays in the background. Books dealing with aviation psychology and the human factor in accidents generally try to show where people stand in the system and how important they are in aviation. In this book, it has been tried to emphasize the "indispensable" role of man with his physiological system and psychological mechanisms.
In our age where unmanned aerial vehicles are becoming more and more widespread, it seems as if the human being is disabled, but it is necessary to see that behind all automation, computer and remote guidance systems, the human and his psychology occupy the most important position as a decision maker. One of the aims of this book, which is the first of its kind in Turkish, is to systematize scattered information about aviation psychology and make it a compact file, and another is to raise awareness of where human psychology can lead to flight, not only to flight doctors, flight psychologists and flight safety officers, but also to the aviators themselves. It also aims to provide an information infrastructure on its own subject and to shed some light on the unknowns of human beings.

Each chapter of the book is written in a consistent, fluent and plain language by authors specialized in different disciplines of psychology.
The book not only conveys the issues focusing on human and nature interaction and environmental behavior to the reader from a psychological point of view, but also reveals striking information on environmental behavior, which is directly related to the climate crisis and other ecological problems that affect the world, and offers some solutions. In addition to all these, it also creates awareness in the reader about the effects of nature and environmental regulations on the psychological and physical health of people. In this respect, the book is a resource that can be read with pleasure not only by experts working in the field, but also by anyone interested in psychology and environmental issues.
Can Çalıcı, Cihat Yaşaroğlu, Erkin Sarı, Ferhat Arı, Gülten Ünal, Hilal Peker, Hüccet Vural, M. Fatih Bükün, Mert Aytaç, Musa Bozkurt, Ömer Çamur, Sebur Kapu, Üzeyir Kement Although studies have been carried out for more than a century in the field of "Environmental Psychology", which examines the mutual relationship between man and his natural and built environment, it has been about 60 years that the field emerged as a discipline. While we sometimes exhibit environmentally friendly behaviors in our interaction with the environment, we sometimes exhibit behaviors that harm the environment. In an area where human behavior is so important, we can say that Environmental Psychology is one of the most important disciplines we will apply to understand the behavior of individuals regarding the environment.
In human-environment interaction, we can sometimes see the damage we do to the environment without being a subject matter expert. For example, the closure of people in their homes at the beginning of the Pandemic period, which has made its impact felt all over the world as in our country since 2019, almost caused the revival of nature. We saw flowers bloom on the streets, in the streets, in places with heavy human circulation before. However, with the removal of the restriction, the signs of our going out into nature began to be visible again. We have now added masks and gloves to the objects that we used to throw on the ground (!) before. Formerly “Please do not throw garbage!” next to the warnings “Please do not throw masks!” It looks like the warnings will be added as well. These and similar events, which most of us have witnessed or somehow learned from the press, give clues about the human-nature relationship and also reveal the importance of environmental behavior.
This work named Introduction to Environmental Psychology; It will be an important resource for researchers doing postgraduate research, students taking environmental courses at undergraduate and postgraduate level, and all curious readers and researchers who care about the "environment", which is vital for human beings. We also consider this work as a start and hope that it will be instrumental in other studies that will contribute to the field.
Nurten Gökalp Efforts to explain human as a sentient being in philosophy are highly controversial. Because the idea that man is an intelligent being has always been considered important and his feelings have not been taken into account. Although mind and emotion are two different dimensions of the same person, the relationship between them has often been evaluated as a contrasting relationship. However, the human mind and emotions are creatures that cannot be denied.
With this book, whose aim is to evaluate the subject based on the remarkable emotional views of philosophers in the history of philosophy from antiquity to the present, it is aimed to create a philosophical view of emotion. It is aimed to contribute to studies that will draw attention to the emotional dimension of human beings.
Fatma Gül Cirhinlioğlu Emotions that add color to our experiences play a very important role in our lives because they have very important functions. Emotions have individual functions, such as helping us act quickly with minimal thinking, preparing our bodies for immediate action, influencing our thoughts, and motivating us to act. Emotional expressions; It also has interpersonal functions such as facilitating certain behaviors for the perceiver, providing information about the nature of interpersonal relationships, and regulating social interaction. On the other hand, our culturally shaped emotions help us orient ourselves towards socially appropriate behaviors defined by our culture.

Gökhan Arslantürk Good and evil… This opposition, which manifests itself in many fields from antiquity to the present, from art to literature, from philosophy to everyday language, is rarely on our agenda with its objective reality. The concepts of “good” and “bad” are often useful categories by which we evaluate our social relationships. Sometimes they are functional patterns that we refer to when making sense of life. It has been heard that in the promotional slogans of films, novels or other artistic fictions, existence is described as "the endless struggle of good and evil". However, the effort to understand the nature, causes and consequences of good and evil is located beyond all these. In the pursuit of this understanding effort, in the book in your hand, the phenomena of good and evil are examined from the point of view of psychology.
First of all, it is mentioned how good and evil are handled in philosophy, and in the second and third chapters, the phenomena of good and evil are discussed separately. In the following sections, goodness and evil are looked at from the developmental perspective, and then the relationship between religion and goodness and evil is examined from the perspective of social psychology studies. Thus, “What is goodness or what is goodness?”, “How does goodness arise?”, “What facilitates, increases, makes goodness visible?”, “What is evil or what is evil?”, “How can evil be reduced or prevented?” In response to questions such as, theoretical explanations and findings from psychology research are included. This book, in a nutshell, provides a scientific picture for anyone who strives to understand good and evil.

Some can speak about their emotions, while others hide them even from themselves. There
are those who grieve alone, and those who find the support they seek in their surroundings.

come. Some suffer deeply as the cost of the strong bond and love they shared, while others,
tangled in a complicated relationship, are unsure of what they should feel.
This book is written for all of them—for everyone who experiences grief in their own unique
way. The grieving process longs to be seen, heard, and understood. I am here to bear witness
to your grief; I will be waiting for you inside.

Psychology attracts the attention of almost everyone at some point because it tries to explain the "me" as a human being. Some want to understand themselves, some their partner, their boss, some their children and some their parents. In other words, the effort to understand people and ourselves in the first place leads us to learn psychology. As in the verses of the famous folk poet of Anatolia, Yunus Emre, which are rosewood in our language, "Science is knowledge, knowledge is knowing yourself, if you do not know yourself, it is a lot of reading".
However, this self-knowledge, self-learning, self-discovery can often turn into a toy in the hands of those who turn science into a profit for their own interests. As a matter of fact, not understanding psychology correctly "Are you reading my mind now?" It may also cause you to become the target of the question. “I am also interested in psychology.”, “We also understand psychology, I love personal development books.” Such sentences will be some of the things that those who will specialize in this field will often hear. So, is psychology really a field that anyone who is interested in can specialize in by reading a few books? I can imagine that you answered “no” to this question. Still, it can be equally dangerous to popularize psychology too much and push it away from science, leaving it only in the hands of scientists and making it elitist. Because science will only be useful as long as it reaches people and continues to develop like a living organism in life.
The science of psychology was shaped centuries ago by the answers given by philosophers to the questions they asked to understand human, and then it was born as a science on the basis of physiological studies. Psychology continues to keep our curiosity alive today, with hundreds of theories and millions of concepts written about it.

This book presents a selection of theoretical and empirical studies on the role of social media in human and mass psychology.

H. Andaç Demirtaş Madran This book deals with social influence, attitude change and persuasion, which are among the most popular topics in social psychology, political science, marketing and communication sciences.
"Social influence and persuasion", which is an extremely important issue in terms of both public relations, advertising and mass communication studies, is also of great importance in terms of efforts to cope with social problems such as smoking and substance abuse, inequalities in education, and non-compliance with traffic rules.
Persuasion has a special place in daily life as well. We are constantly trying to persuade family members, friends, the opposite sex, and our employers.
This subject, which has both individual, social and global importance, is covered in this book by defining basic concepts in detail, examining traditional and contemporary theoretical approaches, and giving practical clues in line with current research findings.

In the book, femicide has been discussed from various aspects, and the subject has been tried to be examined from perspectives such as social work, sociology, psychology, forensic sciences and religious sciences. Of course, we are aware that it is difficult to explain a very important issue such as femicide in a book with all its aspects, but we have done this study hoping that this work will be a start in order to increase the number of studies in this direction.
The book is dedicated to all women in Turkey, whose names are unknown and who fell victim to male terror for various reasons, along with symbolic names such as Emine Yılmaz, Özgecan Aslan, Güldunya Ceremony and Ayşe Paşalı. We hope that this book will be useful to all people working in the field, especially decision makers, and thus contribute to the prevention of femicide.

Applied social psychology goes beyond the traditional application areas of psychology and presents the theoretical and empirical accumulation of (social) psychology within the framework of a holistic approach to the interventions and practices applied in order to solve social problems and increase social welfare. This book, which highlights the application areas rather than the basic scientific approach, integrates approaches from different disciplines of psychology with social psychological approaches.
Due to the wide variety of topics, this book is grouped into four main groups: The chapters in the first part focus on the basic principles and theoretical basis of applied social psychology and aim to lay the groundwork for applications. The second part of the book; It focuses on intervention programs developed to solve social problems such as migration, poverty, inequalities, conflict, consumption and social security. Third part; It includes chapters that highlight the role of social psychology in developing practice in areas such as health, education, business, law, politics, environment, sports and traffic. The last part consists of sections dealing with the cooperation between clinical psychology approaches, which is the traditional application area of ​​psychology, and social psychology approaches.
