    The Impact of Helicopter Parenting on Emerging Adult Child's Psychological Well-Being and Its Reflections on Work Life
    (Nova Science Publishers, Inc., 2020) Metin-Orta,I.; Miski-Aydin,E.
    The phenomenon of helicopter parenting refers to the overinvolvement of parents in their children's lives (LeMoyne and Buchanan 2011). Despite its recognition on popular press, little is known about its prevalance and consequences from an empirical perspective. In order to have a complete understanding of helicopter parenting, this chapter provides a detailed overview of what is known about helicopter parenting behavior, and discusses the recent literature with respect to its effects on the psychological well being of emerging adult child and its reflections on the child's work life. As parents recently shifted their hovering behaviors into the work lives of their adult children, this term has also received considerable attention from scholars and HR practitioners. The extant literature demonstrates that parental overinvolvement is associated with poor psychological functioning of the young adults, and scholars offer several strategies for employers in coping with challenging parental involvement in their children's workplace. This chapter also provides suggestions for practical implications and recommendations for prospective research. © 2020 by Nova Science Publishers, Inc. All rights reserved.

    Effective Parenting Within an Integrative Framework of Emotional Availability and Domains-Of
    (Nova Science Publishers, Inc., 2020) Alsancak-Akbulut,C.; Atalar,D.S.; Metin-Orta,I.
    Considerable research has been done by developmental researchers to understand effective parenting, and a great deal of emphasis has been placed on the emotional aspect of the parent-child relationship. This chapter explores the nature of effective parenting by integrating the construct of emotional availability within a context-specific theoretical framework. In broader terms, emotional availability refers to parental sensitivity, non-intrusiveness, structuring, and non-hostility, as well as child's responsiveness and involvement (Biringen 2000). According to the domains-of-socialization approach (Grusec and Davidov 2010), parentchild interactions occur in five domains, which are protection, mutual reciprocity, guided learning, control, and group participation. Appropriate parenting practices are shaped in line with the child's emerging needs within the domain in which the child is situated (Grusec and Davidov 2010). The current chapter provides a comprehensive overview on theoretical and methodological links between emotional availability research and the main principles of the domains-of-socialization approach. In doing so, it contributes to a better understanding of the nature of emotional availability in the parent-child relationship. © 2020 by Nova Science Publishers, Inc. All rights reserved.

    Multisymplectic Integrators for Coupled Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations
    (Nova Science Publishers, Inc., 2012) Karas̈ozen,B.; Aydın, Ayhan; Aydin,A.; Aydın, Ayhan; Mathematics; Mathematics
    The numerical solution of nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) using symplectic geometric integrators has been the subject of many studies in recent years. Many nonlinear partial differential equations can be formulated as an infinite dimensional Hamiltonian system. After semi-discretization in the space variable, a system of Hamiltonian ordinary differential equations (ODEs) is obtained, for which various symplectic integrators can be applied. Numerical results show that symplectic schemes have superior performance, especially in long time simulations. The concept of multisymplectic PDEs and multisymplectic schemes can be viewed as the generalization of symplectic schemes. In the last decade, many multisymplectic methods have been proposed and applied to nonlinear PDEs, like to nonlinear wave equation, nonlinear Schr̈odinger equation, Korteweg de Vries equation, Dirac equation, Maxwell equation and sine-Gordon equation. In this review article, recent results of multisymplectic integration on the coupled nonlinear PDEs, the coupled nonlinear Schr̈odinger equation, the modified complex Korteweg de Vries equation and the Zakharov system will be given. The numerical results are discussed with respect to the stability of the schemes, accuracy of the solutions, conservation of the energy and momentum, preservation of dispersion relations. © 2012 Nova Science Publishers, Inc.
