    Does Overparenting Hurt Working Turkish Mother's Well-Being? the Influence of Family-Work Conflict and Perceived Stress in Established Adulthood
    (Springer/plenum Publishers, 2023) Aydin, Eren Miski; Metin-Orta, Irem; Metin-Camgoz, Selin; Aksan, Nazan
    Although extant research demonstrates the negative impact of overparenting on child well-being, there remains a paucity of evidence on the effect of overparenting on the parents' own well-being. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of overparenting on parental well-being, and to explore the mechanisms through which overparenting influences the well-being of working mothers, particularly among established adults. Thus, we examined the serial mediation effects of perceived stress and family-to-work conflict (FWC) in overparenting and well-being linkage. With this aim, the data were collected from working mothers (N = 258) aged between 30 and 45, a period of in their lifespan generally characterized by efforts devoted to career and care. Via serial mediation analyses, the findings postulate that (a) overparenting relates to the well-being and perceived stress of working mothers, (b) perceived stress (both individually and jointly with FWC) mediates the relationship between overparenting and well-being, and (c) perceived stress and FWC serially mediate the association between overparenting and well-being. The findings provide evidence related to the well-being experiences of established adulthood women in struggling their career-and care crunch from a perspective of overparenting, stress, and family-to-work conflict.

    Young Adults' Perceptions of Social Clock and Adulthood Roles in the Turkish Population
    (Springer/plenum Publishers, 2019) Pekel-Uludagli, Nilay; Akbas, Gulcin
    The aim of this study was to examine how adulthood roles (marriage and parenthood) and the perceived timing of the achievement of these roles (early, on-time, late) were related to well-being (depression and life satisfaction) and need satisfaction (autonomy, competence, and relatedness) in young adults. The sample consisted of 433 female and 244 male (N = 685) participants. Results revealed that individuals who perceived themselves as on-time for marriage reported higher levels of well-being and need satisfaction compared with individuals who perceived themselves as early or late. In addition, individuals who perceived themselves as having children on-time reported lower levels of depression and higher levels of need satisfaction compared with individuals who perceived themselves as early. For female participants, employed women have higher relatedness than non-employed women. In addition, married participants have more relatedness and life-satisfaction, and less depression than unmarried participants. The results suggest that fulfilling adulthood roles and the perceived timing of these roles affects well-being and need satisfaction.

    On the Invariant Manifolds of the Fixed Point of a Second-Order Nonlinear Difference Equation
    (Springer/plenum Publishers, 2020) Turan, Mehmet
    This paper addresses the asymptotic approximations of the stable and unstable manifolds for the saddle fixed point and the 2-periodic solutions of the difference equationx(n+ 1)=alpha+beta x(n- 1)+x(n- 1)/x(n), where alpha> 0,0 <=beta<1$0\leqslant \beta and the initial conditionsx(- 1)andx(0)are positive numbers. These manifolds determine completely global dynamics of this equation. The theoretical results are supported by some numerical examples.
