Publication Restricted Assessment of Psychometric Characteristics of the Coronavirus Anxiety Scale in Patients with Preexisting Psychiatric Disorders(Taylor & Francis, 2022) Karahamet, Elif; Angın, Ülkem; Yılmaz, Onat; DENİZ, DERYA; Konuk, NumanThis study aimed to evaluate the psychometric characteristics of the Turkish version of the CAS in a Turkish psychiatric outpatient setting. A total of 198 patients with a preexisting psychiatric disorder completed the CAS scale. The scale's validity and reliability were evaluated using convergent and concurrent validity, internal consistency, exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, and ROC analysis. The Turkish version of CAS might help physicians assess the COVID-19 associated anxiety in patients with psychiatric comorbidities.Publication Open Access The Association of Child Abuse Experiences and Intolerance of Uncertainty in Young Adults(Routledge, 2023) Dirican, Ayşe Hatun; Kozak, Ekin Doğa; Kavakcı, Önder; SÖNMEZ, BERNAObjective: Drawing upon the identity disruption model, we investigated the association between child abuse experiences (emotional, physical, and sexual) and intolerance of uncertainty. We also addressed demographic differences in uncertainty intolerance in this study. Methods: Using online survey questionnaires, we collected data from a sample of 302 young adults in Turkey. The data were analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis, structural equation modeling, one-way analysis of variance, and independent samples t-test. Results: The results showed that of the three types of child abuse analyzed, only emotional abuse was significantly and positively associated with intolerance of uncertainty. In contrast, age was negatively associated with intolerance of uncertainty. Regarding demographic differences, we found that the level of intolerance of uncertainty differed based on young adults’ gender, psychiatric diagnosis, and education. Specifically, our findings indicated that intolerance of uncertainty is significantly higher in females compared to males. It is also significantly higher in young adults with a diagnosis for psychiatric disorders than those without. Moreover, intolerance of uncertainty is significantly higher in young adults who have a high school graduate degree than their undergraduate and graduate counterparts. We discussed how child abuse is associated with heightened intolerance of uncertainty in young adulthood as well as why demographic differences may exist in uncertainty intolerance. Conclusions: The present study expanded the existing research on the psychological consequences of childhood abuse experiences by linking child abuse to intolerance of uncertainty. Particularly, exposure to emotional abuse in early life can be a risk factor to cope with uncertainty in later life.Publication Restricted Faux-Pas Recognition Test: A Turkish Adaptation Study and a Proposal of a Standardized Short Version(Routledge Journals, 2021) ŞANDOR, SERRA; İşcen, PınarFaux Pas Recognition Test (FPRT) is one of the most commonly used tools to assess the theory of mind (ToM) and a valid and reliable screening of this social cognitive function in both clinical and research settings is essential. We aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the FPRT on a healthy Turkish sample and to develop a shorter form with adequate psychometric properties to provide an easier application for the tester by shortening the test's duration of administration. Four hundred sixteen healthy individuals completed the Turkish version of the FPRT. Addenbrooke's Cognitive Evaluation-Revised form (ACE-R) was given to the participants who were over 60 years of age in order to eliminate the adverse effects of a potential cognitive decline on FPRT performance. Effects of psychological symptoms on FPRT performance were controlled with Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI). Both the original and short versions of the test showed good psychometric properties: for the original version internal consistency reliability was 0.94 for faux-pas (FP) stories and 0.92 for control stories; for the short version it was 0.92 for FP stories and was 0.93 for control stories. For the original version of the FPRT; inter-rater reliability was 0.88 for FP stories and was 0.96 for control stories. Split-half reliability was 0.78 for FP stories and was 0.85 for control stories. Gender and age comparisons were carried out. Results revealed that women had significantly higher total scores than men in three measures of FPRT.Item Restricted II. Eğitim Psikolojisi Sempozyum Kitabı: Öğrenme ve Öğrenme Bozuklukları(İstanbul Kültür Üniversitesi, 2010) Kolektif; ed., Tülay Bozkurt; ed., Mücella Uluğ; ed., Zeynep Oktuğ; ed., Melis Seray ÖzdenPublication Restricted The Mediating Role of The Meaning of Life in the Effect of Spiritual Well-Being on Post-Traumatic Growth During the Covid-19 Pandemic Process(Halil Ekşi, 2023) ERMİŞ, ECE NAZConsidering the effects of the COVID-19 epidemic on mental health, it has been determined that there is a need to focus on the positive parts of the post-traumatic results of the pandemic together with spiritual concepts. For this purpose, the mediating role of the meaning of life in the effect of spiritual well-being on post-traumatic growth during the Covid-19 pandemic process was examined. Within the scope of this general purpose: (a) the moderator role of fear of COVID in the mediating role of the meaning of life in the effect of mental well-being on post-traumatic growth, (b) the mediator role of the meaning of life in the effect of existential regret on post-traumatic growth were examined. The participants in the study consisted of 398 people, 263 women and 135 men, between the ages of 18-62. Data analysis includes correlation and regression analysis. As a result of the analyzes, it was observed that spiritual well-being had a statistically significant and positive effect on post-traumatic growth and the meaning of life had a partial mediating role in this relationship. While the effect of spiritual well-being on the meaning of life is at a significant level, it is observed that the fear of covid has a regulatory role in this effect. In addition, while the meaning of life has a significant effect on post-traumatic growth, it is also seen that existential regret has a regulatory role in this effect. It is thought that this study will provide functional evidence for the post-traumatic growth effects of the COVID-19 outbreak and for possible subsequent outbreaks.Publication Restricted A New Viewpoint to Schema Modes and Mode Domains Through Polyvagal Theory: Could Schema Modes Be Just a Way of Coping?(Springer, 2022) Karaosmanoğlu, Hasan Alp; ATEŞ, NİDA; Köse Karaca, Bahar; Aytaç, MertThe aim of this study is to investigate how the schema modes defined in Schema Theory group together and accordingly question the conceptualization of schema modes considering the theories combining evolutionary, neuroscientific, and psychological point of views in psychology literature. It was hypothesized that there would be differences in the categorization and conceptualization of schema modes conceptualized by Schema Theory based on Polyvagal Theory. The sample of the study consists of 2032 participants aged between 18 and 71 years old (M = 36.00, SD = 14.312) who applied to a psychotherapy center in Istanbul working with the approach of Schema Therapy. Short Schema Mode Inventory was applied to the participants. According to the results of the second-order factor analysis, compliant surrenderer, healthy adult, punitive parent, happy child, and detached protector modes were clustered in the first factor. Impulsive child, enraged child, condescending, and easily bored child modes were loaded under the second factor while demanding parent, detached self-soother, and status-seeking modes were loaded under the third factor. When the results were evaluated with respect to Polyvagal Theory, it was determined that the first factor represented the parasympathetic nervous system activation and consisted of schema modes that include surrender, freezing, and socialization responses while the second factor consisting of schema modes related to flight or fight responses represented the sympathetic nervous system activation. Moreover, the third factor consisted of the schema modes of the sympathetic nervous system, which included flight or fight responses with parasympathetic inhibition (vagal brake). The results were discussed in line with the literature.Publication Restricted Üniversite Öğrencilerinde Somatizasyon Eğiliminin Yordanmasında Stresle Başa Çıkma Yöntemleri, Genel Öz Yeterlik İnancı ve Bilişsel Esnekliğin Rolü(ODTÜ Psikoloji Bölümü, 2023) Yatar, Merve doğan; YILDIRIM, MELİS SERAY ÖZDENSomatizasyon, zorlayıcı dışsal faktörlerin ya da bireylerin iç çatışmalarının yarattığı olumsuz duyguların beden üzerinden deneyimlenmesi ve ifade edilmesi olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Somatizasyonun tanılanması için öncelikle ilgili olabilecek organik hastalıkların elimine edilmesi gerektiği için kişilerin sağlık kuruluşlarında geçirdikleri zaman artmakta ve belirtilerin getirdiği rahatsızlıkların sürmesi nedeniyle bireysel ve sosyal yaşamları olumsuz bir şekilde etkilenmektedir. Bu nedenle somatizasyon eğilimi ile ilgili olabilecek demografik özelliklerin bilinmesinin tanı koyma sürecinde yardımcı olacağı düşünülmektedir. Bununla birlikte, somatizasyon eğiliminin kişilerin sorun çözme süreçlerindeki işlevsel olmayan davranışları ve tutumlarından kaynaklandığı düşünülmektedir. Bu savın araştırılması amacıyla Türkiye’deki üniversite öğrencileri evreninden rastgele seçilen 353 üniversite öğrencisinden veri toplanmış ve ilişkisel araştırma modeli kullanılan araştırmada veriler SPSS Paket Programı kullanılarak test edilmiştir. Çalışmada sonuç olarak somatizasyon eğiliminin cinsiyet, gelir düzeyi ve kardeş sayısı değişkenlerinin alt gruplarına göre farklılaştığı bulunmuştur. Somatizasyon eğiliminin stresle başa çıkma yöntemlerini kullanma, genel öz yeterlik ve bilişsel esneklik düzeyleriyle negatif yönde ilişkili olduğu görülmüştür. Bilişsel esneklik ve sosyal destek arama yöntemi ise somatizasyon eğilimi üzerinde yordayıcı rolü olan değişkenler olarak bulunmuştur.
