    News media portrayal of mental health and psychological problems: An analysis of daily newspapers in Türkiye
    (İstanbul Bilgi Üniversitesi, 2024) Dursun, Ahu Dereli; Tunç, Aslı
    Medyadaki temsillerin sağlık dahil olmak üzere algı ve gündemlerin inşasında önemli sembolik kaynaklar sağladığı bilinmektedir. Ruh sağlığı ve mental bozuklukların küresel ölçekte en fazla damgalanan ve hassasiyet teşkil eden insan koşullarından biri olarak devam ettiği de kabul görmektedir. Gazeteler, sağlık konularında en etkili ve güvenli bilgi ve görüş kaynaklarından biri olarak öne çıkar. Buna bağlı olarak bu araştırma, Türkiye'de günlük olarak Türkçe yayımlanan altı gazeteden 2014 – 2018 arasında beş senelik zaman diliminde yer alan mental sağlık, psikolojik sorunlar ve mental sorunlara sahip bireylerin konu olduğu kesitsel örneklem olarak seçilmiş haberlerdeki (N=577) tasvirleri incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Betimleyici ve tematik analizlerle kategorize edilen haberlerde en çok öne çıkan çerçeveler, bu çerçevelerin ilgili gazete ve yıllara göre dağılımı ile birlikte çerçevelemedeki epizodik ve tematik modeller ve bu modellerin ilgili gazete ve yıllara göre dağılımının yanı sıra uzman görüşleriyle desteklenmiş sorumlu gazetecilik gibi bazı unsurlar, etik gazetecilik uygulamalarına yönelik olarak analiz edilmekte, yorumlanmakta ve tartışılmaktadır. Egemen haber medya çerçevelerinin toplumsal sorunları tanımlamada ve kamusal söylem ile tutumları şekillendirmede güçlü bir rol oynadığı görüşüne dayanarak bu araştırmanın ruh sağlığı ve psikolojik sorunların haberlerde yer alması özelinde kamu sağlığı, gazetecilik pratikleri ve toplumsal farkındalığa ilişkin farklı bir görüş açısı ve alternatif çerçeveleme uygulamaları sağlayacağı öngörülmektedir.

    Reconsidering the Risk Society: Its Parameters and Repercussions Evaluated by a Statistical Model with Aspects of Different Social Sciences
    (Springer International Publishing Ag, 2020) Dursun, Ahu Dereli
    Risk society theory, with its complexity and inclusion of different ideas with respect to the peculiarity of risk in the modern era, the role played by the media in the construction and communication of risk as well as the nature of reflexivity, has had repercussions in various fields. Since multiple elements are to be analysed to reconsider the risk society theory in the current global landscape characterized by emerging threats, an integrated approach has been chosen in this study for a comprehensive evaluation. The majority of the studies conducted on the relevant subject matter lack quantitative analyses; therefore, this study aims at bridging a gap in this regard by elucidating the parameters and implications of the concepts related to the risk society based on the results obtained by quantitative and qualitative analyses. To this end, a survey (including demographic, sociological and psychological items) on risk and economic uncertainty was designed and conducted online. Secondly, content analysis was done on a set of news items focusing on global economy. The results of the survey evaluated with statistical analyses (ANOVA, t-test and correlation analysis) were used to relate the responses to different aspects and thematic qualities of the risk society theory postulated and developed by Ulrich Beck, Anthony Giddens and other social philosophers. The experimental results of the study revealed certain relationships between demographic characteristics and sociological-psychological elements of the risk society theory and its parameters in the individuals' attitudes and perception. Correspondingly, repercussions of the risk society theory have been revealed in the news items handled. The majority of the results obtained support the key postulations of the risk society, which can shed light on understanding the significant transformation of our era along with the social attitudes, fears, insecurity and risk perception among individuals. In addition, the findings can lead to further interpretation of the interplay between economy, media, science and politics, opening up new perspectives toward reconsidering contemporary risks.

    Time Series Based Frequency Analysis of Violence and Criminalization Related Dynamic Mental Health Media News
    (Springer International Publishing Ag, 2022) Dursun, Ahu Dereli
    Violence, displaying a dynamic and multivariate nature with different biological, psychodynamic, social and individual factors, is reflected in media texts related to mental health and mental illness which embody numerous variables that are not simple to address and assess. The problematic issues around mental health are not only concerned with the medical aspect of mental problems, including the definition, diagnosis and treatment thereof, but also with respect to negative attitudes of people towards those with psychological problems, which may bring about cases of stigmatization. Media can play a significant role in criminalization of the mentally ill and be instrumental in shaping and changing attitudes towards mental illness. Accordingly, the current study aims to assess the trends in national discourse through media texts by looking into the volume and content of a sample of 496 news stories about mental illness, with a particular focus on bipolar disorder, from 2014 to 2019. Three national daily newspapers constitute the sample addressed in the study where frequency analysis has been performed on the media text dataset in accordance with the changes over the years. The frequency analyses based on time series conducted in the study demonstrate that violence and criminalization have been found to be the most frequently addressed topic among the ones mentioned across the study period. Based on the results derived from the analyses, it is seen that focus of the news media on violence is not proportional to actual rates of violence among the mentally ill. Thus, the research suggests that such a continued emphasis on violence and criminalization may intensify social stigmatization and hinder attempts to seek professional help. All these mental health-related considerations and raising public awareness point to ultimate strategies in public health domain regarding the socially constructed model which significantly affects the benefits of and barriers to action in health-promoting attitudes and behaviors.
