The study was carried out with a sample group of 224 volunteer participants from Aydın Adnan Menderes University Faculty of Sports Sciences. 35.7% (n=80) of the participants were women and 64.3% (n=144) were men. In the study, it was collected with the \"Sports Self-Regulation Scale\" to measure sports self-regulation skills, the \"Motivational Determination Scale\" and the \"Rational and Decision-Making Styles Scale\" to measure decision-making skills. In the analysis of the data, mean, standard deviation, minimum-maximum-median were calculated from descriptive statistics. Mann Whitney U was used in intergroup comparisons and Spearman Correlation analysis was used to examine the relationships between variables. Linear regression analysis was performed with the variables found significant in univariate analyses. According to the results obtained, students' sports self-regulation skills predict their motivational determination. Again, students' sports self-regulation skills predict both rational decision-making and intuitive decision-making styles. While women have a more intuitive decision-making style than men, men have a more rational decision-making style than women. According to the data obtained in the research, it is recommended that self-regulation trainings should be conducted to improve students' decision-making skills.","PeriodicalId":470135,"journal":{"name":"İnsan ve sosyal bilimler dergisi","volume":"5 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135012209","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is possible to feel the presence of artificial intelligence from health services to finance, from entertainment to education. One of the most controversial and interesting areas of artificial intelligence is the world of literature. So, how can a machine devoid of emotions and personal experiences navigate the complex and emotionally charged world of storytelling? In this article, the fascinating intersection of artificial intelligence and one of the literary genres, the story, is analysed. It analyses how artificial intelligence perceives the story and what it can bring to this respected literary form. The study examined the data obtained with ChatGPT and Google Bard using the document review method. The data obtained was analyzed with content analysis. As a result of the analysis, it was determined that artificial intelligence has both positive and negative aspects in producing stories. Among the positive aspects, it can be said that he writes an account with a holistic perspective. In addition, it was seen that he produced stories regarding current current events. Its negative aspects are that it lacks human emotions and creativity and creates predictable fiction on standard subjects. As a result, artificial intelligence can produce stories, but considering its shortcomings, it can help writers as a writing aid. However, it can also be said that the development of artificial intelligence algorithms, has the capacity to create more successful stories in the future.","PeriodicalId":470135,"journal":{"name":"İnsan ve sosyal bilimler dergisi","volume":"51 11","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135167476","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this study is to evaluate the theses included in the National Thesis Center, which examine the psychometric properties of measurement tools within the framework of the Rasch model, within the scope of the requirements of the Rasch model. In line with this purpose, the model of the research is a document analysis research within the scope of qualitative research. All theses containing the word Rasch in the thesis name and index were examined, and 24 theses in which the measurement tool was developed and adapted within the scope of the Rasch model were found. In order to examine these measurement tools, a coding list was created and the data was analyzed by applying categorical analysis which is one of the content analysis methods. According to the results obtained, it was revealed that in the majority of theses, information was given about unidimensionality, but in half of the theses, no information was given about the local independence assumption. There are studies that do not specify which model is used for polytomous items, and it was observed that model comparison was not performed. It was determined that item model fit was generally tested with different approaches in the theses, and item parameters were generally included. It is among the results that the Person separation index related to reliability was not reported in all studies, and sufficient information was not provided in some studies, even though Differential Item Functioning analyses were performed. In light of these results, it is seen that there is no common systematic approach in the development or adaptation of measurement tools within the framework of the Rasch model in the studies. Therefore, it is recommended that more detailed studies explaining this systematic approach should be conducted.","PeriodicalId":470135,"journal":{"name":"İnsan ve sosyal bilimler dergisi","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135166292","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First performed in 1902 in London, the text is a social critique satirizing the stereotypical Victorian norms. Reflecting Shaw’s feminist ideals, the play also contributed to the development of the feminist movement. Mrs. Warren’s Profession introduces the “New Woman” type who rebels against the stereotyped female representations and male-centered conventions of the nineteenth century. The play mainly revolves around a controversial taboo topic, prostitution. Shaw dramatizes this profession through the two untraditional female characters. Kitty Warren is an audacious woman running a brothel to provide her daughter with better life and education standards and Vivie is a highly-educated and independent woman who expostulates her mother for her profession. Mrs. Warren’s Profession stresses that it is the social, economic and moral ills of the society that lead women to choose this profession. This paper, from a feminist lens, links these two non-conformist characters to navigate the ways through which the concept of the “New Woman” is represented. This paper also investigates how these characters protest against the stereotypical female roles imposed on them to gain an autonomous identity within society. Thus, this study, through these two female characters, reveals how this play dethrones the myth of the “Angel in the House,” the ideal Victorian woman, and sheds light on the modern feminism.","PeriodicalId":470135,"journal":{"name":"İnsan ve sosyal bilimler dergisi","volume":"BME-16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135320921","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Integral to this construct is the interplay between the individual and their environment. The primary objective of this study is to examine the association between sustainable health status and leisure activities among adolescents, particularly during the challenging transition period of late adolescence into adulthood. A total of 398 adolescents aged between 18-24 participated in the study. Hierarchical multiple regression analyses were employed to investigate the associations among six distinct categories of leisure activities and three dependent variables (life satisfaction, optimism, and health perception). Upon controlling for covariates, the findings demonstrated significant positive associations between outdoor and social activities and all three outcome variables. Physical activities exhibited positive correlations with health perception and life satisfaction. Moreover, significant positive associations were found between life satisfaction and volunteer activities, optimism and cultural activities, as well as health perception and home-centered activities. These findings indicate that fostering positive social interactions within recreational contexts and promoting engagement in physical activities can be pivotal in fostering sustainable health outcomes among adolescents.","PeriodicalId":470135,"journal":{"name":"İnsan ve sosyal bilimler dergisi","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135317406","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
