Current research findings indicate that there are strong connections between individuals' musical preferences and their various personality characteristics. The close relationship between an individual's personality and his/her musical likes and preferences makes us think that these preferences interact with behaviors, which are an extension of the individual's personality traits. This interaction shows itself not only in positive dimensions but also in negative ones. Aggressiveness is a part of personal characteristics and individual behaviors. This study was carried out to discover university students' musical preferences within the framework of various demographic, socio-cultural and musical variables and the correlation between these preferences and aggressive behaviors. Individual and relational screening models were utilized in this study. The study was carried out with 308 students studying at different faculties of Selçuk University. As the data collection tools, the researchers used 'personal information form,' intended for discovering learners' musical preferences and the correlation between these preferences and various variables and 'aggression scale' intended for determining the level of aggressiveness.

This study investigates and explains the steps of developing a self-perception scale for instrument for the students of fine arts high school. Validity and confidence tests were carried out with total of 135 11th grade students in 6 different fine arts high schools in Turkey. SPSS statistical program is used for necessary tests. To investigate instrument-validity of the “Self Perception Scale for the Played Instrument” factor analysis is used. To verify the scale’s reliability Cronbach Alpha (CA) test is used to calculate the internal consistency and for the current study CA test result is α = 0.915. Another test is Kaiser Meyer-Olkin (KMO) which is used to determine whether the statistical results of the sample size is sufficient. KMO for the current sample size is found α=0.872. KMO test results are categorized as follows: α = .90 means the results are excellent, α = .80 is very good, α = .70 and .60 not so good and below α = .50 is unacceptable (Tavşancıl: 2010, s.50). For the current study KMO is found α = .872 which shows that the sample size is sufficiently high. Evidence from the test results shows that the scale which is developed to measure students' self-esteem for the played instrument can be used as aimed and it is a valid and a reliable tool for it.

Autism spectrum disorder, though its causes are not exactly known, is defined as the dysfunction of brain. According to Cavkaytar, there have been several neurobiological and environmental theories aiming to explaining the causes of autism spectrum disorder. Neurobiological causes include the coexistence of multiple genes, genetic impacts, the discrepancies between the central nervous system and the brain. Certain findings have been obtained from previous research, concerning that these causes play an important role in the occurrence of autism spectrum disorder. Theories which assert that environmental causes such as vaccines, various toxins and certain foods lead up to this condition are yet to be backed by scientific grounds. Swiss child psychiatrist Eugen Bleuler was first to use the term “autism”. Bleuler defined the autistics as schizophrenics abstracted from outer world. Later, American child psychiatrist Leo Kenner stated in 1943 that autism is caused by dismissive mothers and wrong child upbringing by parents. Leo Kenner concluded the fact that autistic children exhibit many different behavioral characteristics than other children and these differences may even be seen in early childhood. Kanner listed these different behavioral characteristics as delayed language and speech, normal physical growth and development, extreme commitment to sameness and repetitive behaviors.

The objective of this research is to explore how musical and cultural diplomacy have influenced political relationships between Turkey and Israel. Cultural diplomacy encompasses the exchange of ideas and information for the purpose of promoting mutually benefiting understanding between different cultural groups. Music diplomacy is the use of songs to promote respect, cooperation and understanding. The article emphasizes how Israel and Turkey have benefited from the power of music and cultural exchanges to maintain friendly ties when they have the lowest level of connection in terms of diplomatic relations. In the diplomatic crisis of two countries in 2010, the musicians, from both countries, took on the roles of peace ambassador and helped to soothe the masses through concerts. Using the constructivist theory of international relations, this article argues for promotion of culture and music as crucial diplomatic instruments for improving cooperation and communication between countries. In this context, it is very crucial to raise the highest possible levels of musical and cultural diplomacy between Israel and Turkey and to find ways to respect each other's cultural uniqueness. The topic of this article has been probed through the historical and critical method of musicology in the interdisciplinary context, including politics, international relations and cultural studies.

In this study the aesthetic experience of dance performances is investigated. The study includes construction of an instrument for measuring the aesthetic experience of dance performances and an investigation of the structure of both dancers’ and spectators’ aesthetic experience. The experiments are carried out during eight different performances of various dance forms, including classical ballet, contemporary dance, flamenco and folklore. Three factors of aesthetic experience of dance performances are identified: Dynamism, Exceptionality and Affective Evaluation. The results show that dancers’ aesthetic experience has a somewhat different factorial structure from that of the spectators’. Unlike spectators’ aesthetic experience, dancers’ aesthetic experience singles out the Excitement factor. The results are discussed within the context of dancers’ proprioception and spectators’ exteroception since these findings confirm the idea of a significant role of proprioception in dancers’ aesthetic experience.
