ABSTRACT
Understanding the role of people in occupational accidents is very difficult. It is always assumed that people perform the behaviour that feels right to them. This study's main topic is the relationship between values, which form the basis of human behaviour, and safety motivation, fatalistic tendencies, risk perception and safety behaviour. In this context, for the aim of the study, path analysis and partial correlation analysis were used to examine the relationship between variables, and tests were used to examine the relationship between demographic variables with 701 participants from NUTS-12 region of Turkey. According to the findings of the research, it was determined that most of the 19 value dimensions and the top values of self-protection and growth and the top value dimensions of conservation, self-enhancement, self-transcendence and openness to change affect fatalism tendencies, risk perception, safety motivation(SM) and safety performance(SP). While self-protection, conservation and self-enhancement top values have a negative effect on SP, openness to change, self-transcendence and growth top values have a positive effect on SP. Taking into consideration that individuals will exhibit behaviours based on the value dimensions they attach importance to, OHS trainings should be developed in accordance with the value dimensions given importance according to NUTS-12 regions. Furthermore, legal support should be provided to eliminate and reduce the negative aspects of value dimensions for OHS.
ABSTRACT
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a condition manifested in childhood and includes symptoms, such as attention deficit, impulsivity, difficulty in concentrating, hyperactivity, and aggressive behavior. Along with the negative effects of ADHD symptoms on individuals, various psychological factors are thought to be associated with these symptoms. However, ADHD in emerging adulthood is not rare and can be conceived as the continuation of discomfort that might emerge during childhood and adolescence. Our mediation study involved 613 undergraduate students in Istanbul. The participants filled out demographic information forms: Adult Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder Self-Reported Scale (ASRS), Perceived Stress Scale and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). Our work stressed those positive correlations found among ASRS, Perceived Stress Scale, and BDI scores. Analysis by Model 4 of Hayes Process Macro and Sobel tests showed that ADHD symptoms predicted both perceived stress and depression scores of the participants and dimensions of perceived stress acted as partial mediators in the positive relationship between ADHD and depression scores.
