    (2019) Cura, Nurtekin
    The purpose of this article is to discuss how J.R.R Tolkien formulated the journey of a hero in hisnovel “The Hobbit or There and Back Again”. The article is aimed at explaining Bilbo’s journeythrough the scope of Joseph Campbell’s monomyth. The reader is provided with information thathelped Tolkien’s work to become successful. In his work, Campbell argues that the events experiencedby a mythological, literary or modern hero/person are not usually individual and that these areexperienced by others in similar patterns. These similar experiences are presented in an adventurousjourney that allows the hero to leave his usual environment, rediscover himself and return to hisformer life. In addition, it has been discussed with the archetypes of Carl Jung that the character,which is studied, is not unique heroes. While examining the work, it is tried to determine whicharchetypes Bilbo fits or which archetypes he evolves. Tolkien, in “The Hobbit or There and BackAgain”, points out the importance of spiritual and material world. He draws attention to the fact thatthe courage of a little fellow in a wide world might be for the benefit of the rest. By choosing a hobbitas a protagonist he aims at showing the significance of an insignificant person might be greater. Ona larger scale, Tolkien aims at attacking prejudices of humanity.

    Turkish Validity and Reliability Study of the Compassion Scale-Short Form
    (2022) Cura, Şengül Üzen; Cura, Nurtekin
    Objective: The aim of this study is to fulfil the Turkish validity and reliability of the Compassion Scale-Short Form. Materials and Methods: The sample of the study was comprised of 509 students from a university located in the west of Turkey. Data were analyzed by using descriptive statistics, explanatory and confirmatory factor analysis, Cronbach alpha, test-retest and parallel-form reliability. Results: As a result of the exploratory factor analysis applied with varimax rotation, it was determined that the factor loads of the items were distributed between 0.334 and 0.793. It was calculated that the ratio of explaining the total variance of four components with an eigenvalue greater than 1 was 55.33%. It was found that the total Cronbach's alpha value of the scale was 0.77, the test-retest reliability coefficient was 0.76, and the parallel form reliability coefficient was 0.18. Conclusion: The findings obtained from the analysis conducted to adapt the Compassion Scale-Short Form to Turkish society showed that the scale was a valid and reliable tool in determining the state of compassion.
