Does the Realisation of Children’s Rights Determine Good Life in 8-Year-Olds’ Perspectives? A Comparison of Eight European Countries

Life quality of 9-11 year-old children: Family functionality and demographic variables

“…This finding indicates that family relationships have a critical power over the explanation of children's quality of life. In many related studies conducted abroad, one of the most powerful predictors of children's quality of life/well-being was stated to be the relationships they build with their families (Bradshaw,Keung, Rees & Goswami, 2011;Casas, Bello, Gonzalez & Aligue, 2013;Dinisman, Andresen, Montserrat, Strózik, & Strózik , 2017;Goswami, 2012;Knopp et al, 2017;Kosher & Ben-Arieh, 2017;Kutsar et al, 2019;Lawler et al, 2017;Leeman et al, 2016;Migliorini et al, 2015;Migliorini et al, 2016;Navarro et al, 2017;Newland et al, 2014;Oriol et al, 2017;Strózik et al, 2016; The Children's Society, 2012; The Children's Society 2014; Uusitalo-Malmivaara & Lehto, 2013). No studies have been found investigating the variables which affect the children's life quality of in their mid-childhood living in Turkey.…”

“…Bu bulgu aile ilişkilerinin çocukların yaşam kalitesinin açıklanmasında önemli bir güce sahip olduğunu göstermektedir. Bu konuda yurtdışında yapılan birçok araştırmada, çocukların yaşam kalitelerinin/iyi oluşlarının en güçlü yordayıcılardan birinin, çocukların aileleriyle kurdukları ilişkiler olduğu görülmüştür (Bradshaw,Keung, Rees & Goswami, 2011;Casas, Bello, Gonzalez & Aligue, 2013;Dinisman, Andresen, Montserrat, Strózik & Strózik, 2017;Goswami, 2012;Knopp et al, 2017;Kosher & Ben-Arieh, 2017;Kutsar et al, 2019;Lawler et al, 2017;Leeman et al, 2016;Migliorini et al, 2015;Migliorini et al, 2016;Navarro et al, 2017;Newland et al, 2014;Oriol et al, 2017;Strózik et al, 2016; The Children's Society, 2012; The Children's Society 2014; Uusitalo-Malmivaara & Lehto, 2013). Türkiye'de yaşayan, herhangi bir süreğen sağlık problemi olmayan orta çocukluk dönemindeki çocukların yaşam kaliteleri üzerinde etkili olan değişkenleri inceleyen araştırmalara rastlanmamıştır.…”

Children's rights and their subjective well‐being from a multinational perspective

“…In the context of the Convention, the participation of children and adolescents is seen as a principle from which the fulfilment of all other rights can be guaranteed (Horna, ). Subsequent studies have confirmed that a high perception of children's and adolescents’ social participation is related to high levels of SWB (González et al., ; Grigoraş et al., ; Lloyd & Emerson, ), with relationships that establish children and adolescents in the different developmental contexts in which they participate (family, school and community) having the greatest impact on their well‐being (Casas, Bello, González, & Aligué, ; Kosher & Ben‐Arieh, ; Kutsar et al., ; Navarro et al., ; Strózik, Strózik, & Szwarc, ).…”

“…The challenge lies in understanding children's perspectives, not only as a theoretical curiosity, but more especially for practical purposes to ensure that they are taken into account and promoted in all social dynamics that affect them and their social participation (Casas, ). The CRC has helped to develop a new image of children as active, autonomous and independent subjects (Kutsar et al., ; Reynaert, Desmet, Lembrechts, & Vandenhole, ), emphasising their competences and promoting their opinions. This, in turn, has contributed to a progressive though still far from consolidated change in adult's expectations.…”

The Connections Between Happiness, Subjective Loneliness, Individualism and Interpersonal Relationships of Senior School Students

“…С раннего детства и на протяжении всей жизни человек, находясь в социальных группах (в детском саду, школьном классе, студенческой группе, рабочем коллективе), неизбежно вступает во взаимодействие и должен выстраивать отношения с людьми. Однако первостепенное значение для субъективного благополучия имеют межличностные отношения с членами семьи [9,14,15], с друзьями. Особенно остро проблема взаимоотношений проявляется в подростковом и раннем юношеском возрасте, когда ведущей деятельностью становится межличностное общение.…”
