Culture significantly influences individuals’ lives and shapes their behaviour
in an ecological framework. In this chapter, we examine the issue of children’s participation in research about child abuse and neglect (CAN) in the
context of Turkey – a country that bridges the Asian and European continents. This study was based on a review examining studies on CAN in
Turkey. Thus, the main goal was to find cultural explanations for the scarcity
of participatory research with children in the field of child maltreatment. A
review examining studies on CAN in Turkey found that no study included
children victims of CAN or explored why children victims of CAN have not
been participating in research. Therefore, we analysed ecological factors
influencing the participation of children in CAN studies and interpreted the
findings based on our observations as experts in this field. The analysis
indicated that causes are not only due the characteristics of the caregivers
and children but also result from the interaction of various environmental
and systemic factors. Recommendations for politicians and researchers to
increase children’s participation in research are discussed.
