BEHAVİOR PROBLEMS OF CHİLDREN FROM DİFFERENT CULTURES AND THE REFLECTİON OF THESE PROBLEMS ON SOCİETY.

Abstract

The aim of this research is to examine the behavioral problems of children from different cultural backgrounds, the processes of their integration into society, and the challenges they face during these processes. In this context, it is intended to evaluate the effects of educational policies, family support programs, and community support networks on these processes. Additionally, the study aims to develop strategies for preventing behavioral problems in these children and to provide recommendations for raising social awareness on these issues.

The research is conducted based on a qualitative approach and is grounded in theoretical frameworks found in the literature regarding social integration and behavioral problems. Specifically, social learning theory and ecological systems theory play significant roles in understanding individuals’ behaviors and social interactions. While social learning theory focuses on learning behaviors through observation, ecological systems theory addresses the multiple environmental factors that influence an individual's development, examining how different systems, such as family and school, impact individuals' behaviors.

Furthermore, the research incorporates cultural sensitivity theory, aiming to shape service delivery and educational policies by considering individuals' cultural identities. Behavioral psychology is also utilized to emphasize the environmental factors that shape individuals' behaviors, analyzing how these environmental factors influence children's behavioral problems.
