Yayın Perceived self-society moral discrepancies predict depression but not anxiety(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2015-12) Peker, Müjde; Gündoğdu, Nurdan; Booth, Robert WilliamDiscrepancies between one's own beliefs, standards and practices and the standards expected by others are associated with increased vulnerability to depression and anxiety. Perhaps the most important personal standard is morality, one's standard of acceptable behaviour. We therefore reason that perceived discrepancies between one's own moral standards and those of society predict anxious and depressed moods. We tested this hypothesis, for the first time, in a sample of 99 female Turkish students. Moral discrepancies were assessed using an adapted moral foundations scale: participants were asked how much payment they would require to perform a series of potentially immoral acts, and how much payment they thought the average person in society would require. Participants also completed standard questionnaire measures of depression and trait anxiety. Results show that perceived self-society moral discrepancies were significantly related to depression scores, but not to anxiety scores. Furthermore, only discrepancies related to the moral dimensions of respect for ingroups and avoiding harm were related to depression. We argue that perceiving a discrepancy between one's own standards of behaviour and those of society can increase vulnerability to depression, much as other kinds of self-other discrepancies can; however, the specific moral standards which predict depression may vary with culture and the characteristics of the sample.Yayın Ev kadınlarında tükenmişlik ve somatizasyon: depresyonun yordayıcıları(Cyprus Mental Health Institute, 2022-03-09) Karaköse, Selin; Ulusoy, Ayşe NehirÖncül belirtilerinden biri somatik semptomlar olan depresyonun, evli ve çalışmayan kadınlarda daha yaygın görüldüğü bilinmektedir. Ev kadınlarında depresyon araştırmacıların sıklıkla üzerinde çalıştığı bir konu olsa da, alan yazına son yıllarda kazandırılan ve depresyonun yordayıcılarından biri olan tükenmişlik kavramı, somatizasyon ile birlikte henüz ev kadınlarında araştırılmamıştır. Bu çalışmanın amacı ev kadınlarında tükenmişlik ve somatizasyonun depresyon üzerindekini rolünü araştırmaktır. Kesitsel ve ilişkisel araştırma modeli ile yürütülen bu çalışmaya Türkiye’de yaşayan, evli ve çalışmayan, 20-65 yaş arasında (Ort. =41.74, SS=11.09) 388 kadın katılmıştır. Sosyo-Demografik Bilgi ve Veri Formuna ek olarak, Ev Hanımlarında Tükenmişlik Ölçeği (EHTÖ), Kısa Semptom Envanteri-Somatizasyon alt boyutu (SCL-90-SOMA) ve Depresyon Anksiyete Stres Ölçeği (DASS-21)- Depresyon alt boyutunu içeren anket bataryası katılımcılara çevrimiçi olaraksunulmuştur. Hiyerarşik çoklu regresyon analizi sonuçlarına göre, yaş, çocuk sayısı ve psikiyatrik tanı kontrol edildiğinde,tükenmişlik ve somatizasyon depresyonu pozitif yönde yordamaktadır. Elde edilen bu bulgular dahilinde, ev kadınlarında tükenmişliğe yönelik müdahale çalışmaları yapılmasının ve somatik belirtilerin depresyonun öncül sinyalleri olarak değerlendirilmesinin depresyonun klinik tablosu ile mücadelede yol göstereceği olacağı düşünülmektedir.Yayın Attachment to god, stressful life events, and changes in psychological distress(Springer Heidelberg, 2012-01) Ellison, Christopher G.; Bradshaw, Matt; Küyel, Nilay Behice; Marcum, Jack P.Considerable research shows that social relationships, attachments, and support systems promote emotional well-being. The present study adds to this literature by examining the connection between attachments to God and psychological distress. Analyzing longitudinal data (two waves) from a study of Presbyterian (PCUSA) elders and rank-and-file laypersons, results show that: (1) a secure attachment to God at baseline is associated with a decrease in distress over time; (2) a secure attachment to God buffers against the deleterious effects of stressful life events on distress; and (3) an anxious attachment to God exacerbates the harmful effects of stress. In these analyses, a secure attachment to God is a more robust predictor of changes in distress than many, more commonly studied variables including race, gender, SES, and church attendance. Future research should therefore replicate and extend this line of promising scholarship by examining additional outcomes such as psychiatric illness, physical health, and even mortality risk.Yayın One size does not fit all in psychotherapy: Understanding depression among patients of Turkish origin in Europe(Turkish Neuropsychiatric Society, 2016-03) Balkır Neftçi, Nazlı; Barnow, SvenOver the last decades, Europe has become an immigration country hosting an estimated 56 million international immigrants. Yet, a large amount of literature suggests that migration is associated with a higher risk of common mental disorders, such as depression and anxiety. As representatives of one of the largest immigrant groups in Europe, various studies have shown that Turkish immigrants exhibit a higher prevalence of depression and anxiety disorders than do the background population. Nevertheless, it is also well demonstrated that this particular patient group is more likely to terminate treatment prematurely and displays lower rates of treatment compliance than their native counterparts. This reluctance for service utilization might be partially because of the fact that people from non-Western ethnocultural backgrounds (e.g., Turkey) often have a different notion and comprehension of mental health and illness as compared with those of the people from Western societies. Such mismatch often results in discrepancies between the needs and expectations of immigrant patients and clinicians, which attenuate the communication and effectiveness of treatment and lead to unexplained high dropout rates. To provide continued provision of culture-sensitive, high quality, evidence-based mental health care, the advancement of researches exploring such sociocultural differences between the patients’ and the clinicians’ notions of mental health must occur. In response to these problems, the current review aims to explore the interplay between culture and mental processes that associate with the etiology, maintenance, and management of depression among Turkish immigrant patients. This is to inform clinicians regarding culturespecific correlates of depression among Turkish patients to enable them to present interventions that fit the needs and expectations of this particular patient group.Yayın Der zusammenhang zwischen selbstkonzept und psychischer belastung bei Türkischen und Deutschen frauen mit depression: implikationen für die psychotherapeutische arbeit mit Türkischen Migranten(Georg Thieme Verlag KG, 2013-04) Balkır Neftçi, Nazlı; Arens, Elisabeth A.; Wolff, Carolin; Barnow, SvenAnliegen: Die Untersuchung kultureller Unterschiede im Zusammenhang zwischen Selbstkonzept und psychischer Belastung. Methode: Insgesamt wurden 56 türkische und deutsche stationäre Patientinnen mit Depression untersucht. Ergebnisse: Bei türkischen Frauen war ein interdependentes Selbstkonzept mit einer niedrigeren, bei deutschen Frauen mit einer höheren psychischen Belastung assoziiert. Schlussfolgerung: In der psychotherapeutischen Arbeit mit türkischen Migranten spielen kulturell bedingte Unterschiede im Selbstkonzept eine wichtige Rolle für die Ableitung von Therapiezielen und Interventionen.Yayın Ethnic identification, discrimination, and mental and physical health among Syrian refugees: The moderating role of identity needs(Wiley, 2017-12) Çelebi, Elif; Verkuyten, Maykel; Bağcı Hemşinlioğlu, Sabahat ÇiğdemUsing a risk and resilience framework and motivated identity construction theory, we investigated the moderating role of identity needs in the association between social identification and perceived discrimination with mental and physical health among a sample of Syrian refugees (N = 361) in Turkey. Results showed that there were two clusters of interrelated identity needs, namely, belonging (belonging, continuity, and esteem) and efficacy (efficacy, meaningfulness, and distinctiveness). Higher perceived ethnic discrimination was found to be associated with poorer mental and physical health but not for respondents who derived a sense of efficacy from their Syrian identity. Higher Syrian identification was associated with lower depression and anxiety but more strongly for refugees who derived a sense of belonging and continuity from their Syrian identity. The findings indicate that investigating the motivational aspects of identity formation is important for understanding when discrimination and group identification undermine or rather contribute to the well-being and health of refugees. These findings are discussed in relation to the growing research on social identities and health.Yayın Psychological distress of breast cancer survivors during the Covid-19 pandemic and related factors: a controlled study(KARE Publication, 2023-07) Taş, Beyza; Anuk, Dilek; Akçinar Yayla, BernaOBJECTIVE: Although the prevalence of breast cancer is high among women, survival rates are increasing. How-ever, breast cancer survivors (BCS) continue to experience various psychological problems after their treatments and are also exposed to additional stressors, such as the current Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. The aim of this study was to examine the psychological distress and related factors (social support, intolerance of uncertainty, coping strategies) of BCS during the COVID-19 pandemic and the role of breast cancer diagnosis in this process. METHODS: This study included 95 BCS and 87 healthy women. Sociodemographic Information Form and depression anxiety stress scale, social support scale, intolerance of uncertainty scale, and coping strategies short form scales were administered to the participants. T tests and regression analyses were performed to examine the relationships between the variables. RESULTS: There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of depression and anxiety, but the stress of BCS was lower than that of healthy women. In the regression analysis, the diagnosis of breast cancer was not a predictor for depression and anxiety, but it was a significant predictor for stress. Com-mon predictors of increased depression, anxiety, and stress were decreased social support, increased uncertainty intolerance, and increased emotion-focused coping. CONCLUSION: Focusing on the development of intolerance of uncertainty, social support, and problem-focused coping strategies of psychological interventions for women BCS during epidemics such as COVID-19 may reduce their psychological distress while maintaining and increasing their psychological well-being.Yayın Affective theory of mind in human aging: is there any relation with executive functioning?(Routledge, 2019-04) Yıldırım, Elif; Soncu Büyükişcan, Ezgi; Gürvit, İbrahim HakanTheory of Mind (ToM) refers to the ability to make inferences on other’s mental or emotional states. Although there is evidence suggesting that impaired executive functions due to aging could have a negative impact on cognitive ToM, there is still controversy about the effect of age and age-related executive dysfunctions on affective ToM. To investigate affective ToM in healthy aging and its relationship with executive functions, we examined Reading Mind in the Eyes Test (RMET) performance and executive functions among young and older adults. There was no significant difference between age groups regarding their RMET scores. While affective ToM was correlated to executive functioning within the younger group, short term memory was found to be associated with RMET performance among older participants. Furthermore, within the older group, women performed better than men. Our findings suggest a preserved ability of affective ToM in healthy aging, which appears to be independent of executive functioning.Yayın EMDR Flash technique in adolescents with depression: a twelve-week follow-up study(Sage Publications Inc, 2024-07) İnci İzmir, Sevim Berrin; Çitil Akyol, CananThis study aims to investigate the specific effects of the EMDR Flash Technique on adolescents with depression. This follow-up study consists of 32 adolescents, 12-17 years of age (M = 14.34, SD = 1.56), including 7 males and 25 females. They were evaluated with Kiddie Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia for School-Age Children Present, the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and Children Revised Impact of Event Scale-8 (Cries-8). These were administered at baseline, at the end of the 4th and 12th weeks of treatment. The EMDR Flash Technique which can be utilized in the preparation phase of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to reduce the intensity of highly distressing memories rapidly and relatively painlessly was applied for 12 weeks, one session per week as a free-standing intervention. Also, the EMDR Flash Technique can be effective in decreasing the rate of noncompliance and drop-outs of adolescents. The baseline means of total BDI scores decreased from 48.19 to 2.16 at the end of the 12th week of treatment. Also, the CRIES scores decreased from 31.78 to 0.44 at the end of the 12th week of treatment. In addition, the baseline means of SUD scores decreased from 9.53 to zero at the end of the 12th week of treatment. Overall, our results underscore the effectiveness of the EMDR-Flash Technique in adolescents with depression. Depression is a significant mental health concern for adolescents due to its early onset and chronic nature. Depression can be observed in conjunction with PTSD, and sometimes, depressive symptoms may transform into traumatic experiences. EMDR is an 8-stage protocol that includes history taking, preparation, assessment, desensitization, installation, body scan, closure, and reevaluation, used to alleviate the effects of traumatic experiences. It is hypothesized that unpleasant and traumatic events are stored in a dysfunctional way, and it promotes an adaptive processing and resolution of the traumatic experience. The goal of EMDR is to achieve an adequate processing of negative experiences and to create new adaptive information. The EMDR Flash Technique (FT) is utilized in the preparation phase of EMDR to reduce the intensity of highly distressing memories rapidly and relatively painlessly. Although a few studies have shown that the FT is effective in adults, there is only one study to investigate the effectiveness of the FT in children and adolescents. This research, in determining the efficacy of the EMDR FT on adolescents with depression, particularly focused on depression symptoms and assessed the observed changes in these symptoms. It aims to evaluate the specific effects of EMDR-FT on adolescents with depression, providing a unique perspective compared to previous research that has mainly focused on broader mental health disorder indicators. It is hypothesized that EMDR-FT is an effective therapy for treating adolescents with Depression. In the present study, adolescents with depression showed significant improvements in symptom severity and their traumatic events impact levels decreased. As a result of our study, a 12-week EMDR-FT treatment was observed to be effective for adolescents with depression and in reducing and improving traumatic stress levels and depression. Our results underscore the effectiveness of the EMDR-FT in adolescents with depression.Yayın Psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the eating pathology symptoms inventory (EPSI-T)(Cogent OA, 2025) Türk, Fidan; Acet, Pınar; Karabulut, Goncagül; Akay, NazlıThe purpose of this study was to examine the factor structure and psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the Eating Pathology Symptoms Inventory (EPSI‑T), and to explore gender differences in eating disorder symptoms. Participants were 473 university students in Türkiye (342 women, 113 men) who completed the EPSI‑T, along with the Modified Weight Bias Internalization Scale (WBIS‑M), Addiction‑like Eating Behaviour Scale (AEBS), Muscularity‑Oriented Eating Test (MOET), and Depression Anxiety and Stress Scales (DASS‑21). Confirmatory factor analysis supported the original eight‑factor, 45‑item structure [χ2(914) = 1994.57, χ2/df = 2.18, CFI = 0.90, RMSEA = 0.05 (0.05–0.06), SRMR = 0.07]. Women scored significantly higher on most subscales, except for Excessive Exercise, Muscle Building, and Negative Attitudes toward Obesity, where men scored higher (p < 0.005). Reliability was strong, with Cronbach’s α ranging from 0.72 to 0.90 and McDonald’s ω from 0.75 to 0.90. Convergent and discriminant validity were also supported. Overall, findings suggest that the EPSI‑T is a reliable and valid measure of eating disorder symptoms in Turkish‑speaking populations and may facilitate cross‑cultural research by providing a tool structurally consistent with the original English version.
