Prof. Dr. Alev KARADUMAN for her endless and encouraging support through this process. Despite all unfortunate incidents we had experienced during the writing process of this thesis, whenever I felt low or desperate, she always found a way to motivate and support me. Without her praiseworthy support and wise advice, I would not be able to write my thesis. I feel like the luckiest person to have such a thoughtful and warm-hearted mentor in my life. I am very grateful to Prof. Dr. Serpil OPPERMANN, Prof. Dr. Aytül ÖZÜM, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Lerzan GÜLTEKİN, and Asst. Prof. Dr. Şebnem KAYA for their critical comments, suggestions, and encouragement. I am very thankful to my best friend, Özge BAYRAKTAR ÖZER, who has supported me whenever I need. I also feel indebted to her wonderful husband and my beloved friend, Armağan ÖZER, for becoming the most supportive brother to me. They have always encouraged me to do my best. I would also like to express my thanks and love to my dearest friends Ece ÇAKIR for helping me to choose my writer, and also to Demet GÜL, Emine ULU, Gülden GÜLHAN TOPAL, Hande RUSCUK, Kübra VURAL, Melike GÜNDÜZ, Özge BULUT, and Tanya GARGİ who share their love and encouraging words with me.
