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 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 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 Görüntülü görüşme ile yabancı dilde semptom-odaklı bilişsel davranışçı psikoterapi uygulaması: bir olgu sunumu(ODTÜ Psikoloji Bölümü, 2021) Akyunus, MirayPratik veya zorunlu gerekçeler dolayısıyla psikoterapi uygulamalarının yabancı dilde ve/veya çevrimiçi internet aracılığı ile sunulması yaygınlaşmaktadır. Bu vaka çalışması her iki koşulda bilişsel davranışçı terapinin (BDT) uygulanmasına bir örnek niteliğindedir. Türkiye’nin küçük şehirlerinden birinde yaşamakta olan İngiliz bir danışan, depresyon ve kaygı belirtileri şikayetleri ile, semptomlardan kurtulma ve işlevselliğini artırma amaçlı olarak bilişsel-davranışçı yaklaşımla çalışan bir psikoterapiste İngilizce psikoterapi için başvurmuştur. Vakanın geçmiş çözümlenmemiş travmaları bulunmakla beraber, kendi talebi ve en yüksek yararının gözetilmesi çerçevesinde semptom-odaklı BDT yürütülmüştür. Sunulan bu vaka örneğinde, terapötik ittifakın çevrimiçi terapi uygulamasında geleneksel terapilere benzer şekilde kurulabilmesi, BDT tekniklerinin bu ortamda uygulanmaya uygun olması ve danışanın terapiye uyumu tedavinin etkinliğine katkıda bulunmuştur. Bu vaka çalışması, görüntülü görüşme ile ve yabancı dilde olmakla birlikte, BDT yaklaşımına yatkın danışanlarla, yapılandırılmış bir yaklaşımla çalışmanın semptom-odaklı tedavilerde etkinliğini ortaya koyması açısından önemlidir. Diğer taraftan, intihar riski gibi kriz durumlarının ele alınmasının ve yıkıcı travmatik yaşantılar gibi hassasiyeti yüksek meselelerin çalışılmasındaki güçlükler ise, geleneksel olmayan bu psikoterapi ortam ve koşullarının sınırlılıklarını ortaya koymuştur.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 Healing through art: a systematic review and meta-analysis of art therapy in children and adolescents with chronic illnesses(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2025-11) Yıldız, Ecemnur; Akçinar, Berna; İnci Namlı, NurChildren and adolescents with chronic illnesses face elevated risks of psychological difficulties, including anxiety and reduced quality of life (QoL). Art therapy (AT) has emerged as a promising intervention. This study systematically reviews and analyzes the effectiveness of AT in improving QoL, anxiety, and pain in this population. A comprehensive search identified a total of 12 randomized controlled trials from 2000 to 2024, including 408 participants aged 0–18. Data were analyzed using Hedges’ g and a random-effects model. Quality assessments followed the Cochrane Risk of Bias 2 (RoB2) tool. Subgroup analyses explored potential moderators. QoL was analyzed separately by child and parent reports. AT showed a moderate, significant effect on child-reported QoL (Hedges’ g =.40, 95% CI [0.27; 0.53], p =.001) but a non-significant effect in parent reports (Hedges’ g =.43, 95% CI [−.03; 1.20], p =.21). A significant large effect was found for pain reduction (Hedges’ g = –.63, 95% CI [−1.19; −0.07], p =.03). For anxiety, AT had a large but non-significant effect (Hedges’ g = –.71, 95% CI [−2.24; 0.82], p =.23). Heterogeneity was substantial, but no significant publication bias was detected. AT appears promising for enhancing QoL, reducing pain in children with chronic illnesses. Further studies are needed to strengthen evidence and clarify clinical applications.
