Abstract

Yalan söyleme davranışı, bir başkasında niyetli olarak yanlış kanılar oluşturma çabasıdır. Literatürde yalan söyleme davranışlarının gelişiminin incelendiği araştırmaların büyük çoğunluğunun okul öncesi dönemdeki çocuklara yoğunlaştığı görülmektedir. Yalan söyleme davranışlarının okul öncesi dönemden itibaren nasıl gelişim gösterdiği ve çeşitli sosyal, kültürel, bilişsel etmenlerin yalan söyleme üzerindeki etkisine yönelik araştırmalar ise son yirmi yılda artış göstermiştir. Ancak Türkiye’deki araştırmaların yalan söyleme davranışları konusunda henüz başlangıç aşamasında olduğu görülmektedir. Bu nedenle, mevcut derleme çalışmasında yalan söyleme davranışlarının gelişimiyle ilgili araştırmalara değinilerek bu davranışlarının doğasının anlaşılması ve Türkçe literatürde görülen eksiklik giderilmeye çalışılmıştır. Ayrıca eksik kalan noktalar üzerinden ileride yapılacak araştırmalar için öneriler sunulmuştur.

Lie-Telling Behavior and Developmental Processes in Children

Abstract

Lie-telling behavior is an attempt to constitute false beliefs intentionally in another person. It is known that most of the studies examining the development of lie-telling behaviors focus on preschool children in the literature. Studies about the developmental process on lie-telling behaviors in preschool children, and the effects of various social, cultural and cognitive factors on these behaviors have increased in the last two decades. However, it is seen that studies on lie-telling behaviors are at the beginning stage in Turkey. Therefore, in the present paper, by referring to the studies on the development of lie-telling behaviors, the nature of these behaviors was tried to be understood and to eliminate the limitations seen in the Turkish literature. In addition, suggestions were made for future research based on the lacking points.
