    (Taylor & Francis, 2017) Köse, Samet; Çam Çelikel, Feryal; Akın, Ercan; Kaya, Cahit; Elbozan Cumurcu, Birgül; Etikan, İlker; Cloninger, Claude Robert
    Objective: Junior Temperament and Character Inventory (J-TCI) was developed by Luby, Svrakic, McCallum, Przybeck, and Cloninger based on Cloninger's biopsychosocial model to assess temperament and character dimensions in children and adolescents. Methods: The Turkish version of J-TCI-Revised (J-TCI-R) was administered to 1129 elementary and middle-school (male/female, 546/583) students. Internal consistency reliabilities were measured by Cronbach's alpha; test-retest was assessed across one month. Results: Cronbach's alphas for the subscales of J-TCI-R ranged from 0.60 to 0.75 for temperament and character subscales, which were comparable to US and other populations. The correlations between baseline and one month after administration of J-TCI-R were highly and statistically significant (r = 0.578-0.674 for scales and 0.366-0.582 for subscales) (n = 795). Factor analysis results using Eigenvalue greater than one rule indicated three out of four factors for temperament scales and one out of two factors for character subscales which were similar to findings from the other countries. When all of the subscales were subjected to factor analysis, four out of six factors were retained. To our knowledge, this is the first study analysing psychometric properties and factorial construct of the J-TCI-R. Conclusions: The internal reliability coefficients and test-retest indicated a good stability of scores over time and the factorial structure was consistent with Cloninger's model of personality. The reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the TCI is therefore supported.

    Attentional bias and training in social anxiety disorder
    (Turkish Neuropsychiatric Society, 2015-03) Fıstıkçı, Nurhan; Saatçioğlu, İbrahim Ömer; Keyvan, Ali; Topçuoǧlu, Volkan
    Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is one of the most effective treatment modalities for social anxiety disorder (SAD), showing a high level of clinical evidence supporting its effectiveness. On the other hand, lack of the desired benefit from this treatment in some patients causes continuation of the search for new techniques. Recent research studies have focused on attentional bias and attention training in SAD. Attention processes in SAD have been a major target of interest and investigation since the introduction of the first cognitive models explaining SAD. In the first model, it was highlighted that attention was self-focused. The relationship between threatening stimuli and attention was considered in the subsequent models. Attentional bias towards threat may take place in several ways, such as facilitated processing of threat, difficulty in disengaging attention from the threat and avoidance of attention from the threat. After these descriptions regarding the phenomenology of the disorder, treatments to modify attention, processes were developed. In spite of conflicting results, investigations on attentional training are promising. Attention processes, attentional bias and attentional training in SAD are discussed in this review.

    Anti-tobacco control industry strategies in Turkey
    (BioMed Central Ltd, 2018-02-26) Keklik, Seda; Gültekin Karakas, Derya
    Background: Transnational tobacco companies (TTCs) penetrated the Turkish cigarette market due to trade and investment liberalization in the post-1980 period and eventually secured full control. Despite tobacco control policies put in place in reaction to accelerating consumption, TTCs reinforced their market power through a variety of strategies. This paper explores industry strategies that counteract tobacco control policies in Turkey. Methods: The study employs both qualitative and quantitative analyses to explore industry strategies in Turkey. Besides the content analyses of industry and market reports, descriptive analyses were conducted for the sub-periods of 1999-2015. The analyses focus on the market strategies of product innovation, advertisement-promotion, cost management and pricing. Results: Rising sales of low tar, ultra-low tar, slim, super-slim and flavoured cigarettes indicate that product innovation served to sustain consumption. Besides, the tobacco industry, using its strong distribution channels, the Internet, and CSR projects, were found to have promoted smoking indirectly. The industry also rationalized manufacturing facilities and reduced the cost of tobacco, making Turkey a cigarette-manufacturing base. Tobacco manufacturers, moreover, offered cigarettes in different price segments and adjusted net prices both up and down according to price categories and market conditions. In response to the successful effect of shifts in price margins, the market share of mid-priced cigarettes expanded while those within the economy category maintained the highest market share. As a result of pricing strategies, net sales revenues increased. Aside from official cigarette sales, the upward trends in the registered and unregistered sales of cigarette substitutes indicate that the demand-side tobacco control efforts remain inadequate. Conclusions: The Turkish case reveals that the resilience of the tobacco industry vis-a-vis mainstream tobacco control efforts necessitates a new policy perspective. Rising market concentration by TTCs and the global nature of industry strategies require that the highly profitable manufacturing and trade of tobacco products should be discouraged on a basis of international collaboration. To reduce and eventually eradicate tobacco consumption, supply-side tobacco control measures are needed along with demand-side policies.

    Olanzapin kullanımına bağlı çekilme diskinezisi ve süpersensitivite psikozu
    (Turkish Neuropsychiatric Society, 2016-06) Karaş, Hakan; Güdük, Mehmet; Saatçioğlu, İbrahim Ömer
    Tardive dyskinesia (TD) usually appears after years of antipsychotic drug use and appears to be related to the total lifetime medication dose. In withdrawal-emergent dyskinesia (WE-D), which is considered to be a subtype of TD, dyskinetic symptoms often appear shortly after a rapid reduction in antipsychotic drug dose or sudden discontinuation of the drug. Supersensitivity psychosis, which is frequently observed along with TD and is considered to have a similar etiology as TD, is a psychotic relapse phenomenon that occurs after the withdrawal of an antipsychotic drug or a rapid reduction in the drug dosage. In general, atypical antipsychotics tend to be associated with less propensity to cause TD when compared with typical antipsychotics. Furthermore, olanzapine and clozapine may have a therapeutic potential in improving or totally curing TD. In this study, a case of WE-D because of discontinuing olanzapine use and supersensitivity psychosis is discussed.

    A clinical case of treatment-resistant schizophrenia: 60 hospitalizations and 342 ECT sessions in 36 years; lack of social support or undertreatment?
    (İstanbul Üniversitesi, 2015-06) Cesur, Ender; Fıstıkçı, Nurhan; Dönmezler, Fadime Gizem; Saatçioğlu, İbrahim Ömer
    It is reported that between 20% and 25% of patients have schizophrenia that is resistant to treatment. The treatment resistance in schizophrenia is defined by many authorities. One of the generally accepted definitions is inadequate response despite treatment with different atypical antipsychotics, two or three times at least four-six weeks; the other acceptable one is although the use of two different typical or atypical antipsychotics in monotherapy during four-six weeks, inadequate treatment response is obtained. Duratian of hospitalization in treatment resistant cases is longer. In addition, when considering all the expenses and loss of functions, the cost of resistant cases to society is higher. 60 years old, women patient. She was hospitalized from emergency department where she came with his son, because of denial of treatment and homicidal intent. It is learned that age of onset was 24, disease began in a postpartum period, she was diagnosed with schizophrenia and she had 60 hospitalizations. Although clozapine, haloperidol, amisulpiride, risperidone, olanzapine, aripiprazole, quetiapine, chlorpromazine, sulpiride, zuclopenthixol, fluphenazine, lithium and valproate were used adequate doses and time; a total of 342 ECT sessions were administered; response or partial response was achieved, she had not achieved long-term functioning and well-being. In the most recent admission, she had significant improvement with clozapine 275 mg/day and valproat 1000 mg/day. Despite all treatment efforts, schizophrenic patient with excessive admissions and frequent recurrences is discussed.

    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, Sven
    Over 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.

    Reliability, validity, and factorial structure of the Turkish version of the Empathy Quotient (Turkish EQ)
    (Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2018-07-03) Köse, Samet; Çam Çelikel, Feryal; Kulacaoğlu, Filiz; Akın, Ercan; Yalçın, Mehmet; Ceylan, Vedat
    OBJECTIVES: Empathy is an essential ability that allows us to tune into how others are feeling or thinking. Empathy makes it possible to resonate with others' positive and negative feelings alike so that we can thus feel happy when we vicariously share the joy of others and we can share the experience of suffering when we empathize with someone in pain. Empathy training not only promotes prosocial behaviour, but also augments positive affect and resilience, which in turn fosters better coping with stressful situations. The Empathy Quotient (EQ) is a self-report questionnaire that was developed to measure the cognitive, affective, and behavioural aspects of empathy. Here, we aimed to examine the validity, reliability, and factor structure of the EQ in a Turkish sample. METHODS: Participants were 436 mostly college students and civil servants (195 female, 241 male). Sociodemographic information, the Turkish version of the EQ, Marlowe-Crowne Social Desirability Scale (MC-SDS) 33-item full version and MC-SDS 13-item shorter versions were administered. All statistical analyses were performed by using SPSS version 23 for Windows. RESULT: EQ scores were significantly higher in female participants ((X) over bar (Female)=46.45, SDFemale=0.62) compared to the male participants ((X) over bar (Male)=43.68, SD (Male)=0.56). The Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the scale was 0.76, Guttman's split-half reliability coefficient was 0.61, and test-retest reliability coefficient was 0.95. A positive and statistically significant correlation was found between the Turkish EQ and MC-SDS Full version (r=0.299, p<.01) and short form of MC-SDS (r=0.273, p<.01). A three-factor solution that accounted for 25.28% of the variance observed. CONCLUSIONS: The Turkish version of the EQ has satisfactory validity, good internal and test-retest reliability with a robust factorial structure to use in a clinical population in Turkey. Moreover, as predicted, women scores were statistically significantly higher on the EQ than men. This result was consistent with a series of earlier studies reporting gender differences (female superiority) on questionnaires that measure empathy. A better knowledge of empathy will have important implications for the examination and understanding of certain neurological and psychiatric disorders, including autism, narcissistic and antisocial personality disorders, and may also provide important clues about the relevant brain circuitry underlying empathy.

    İç mekan tasarımında bitirme öğelerinin insan psikolojisine ve mekân algısına etkisi
    (Işık Üniversitesi, 2020-04-09) Çomak, Selver Damla; Koca, Gülru; Işık Üniversitesi, Sosyal Bilimler Enstitüsü, İç Mimarlık Yüksek Lisans Programı
    İnsanoğlu varoluşundan bu yana uzun bir gelişim süreci yaşamıştır. Tarih öncesi çağlarda ilk insanlar doğal ortamdan sağladıkları yiyeceklerle hayata tutunmuşlar, vahşi doğa ve hayvanlardan kendilerini korumak için ağaç kovukları ve mağaralardan yararlanmışlardır. Barınma, kişinin kendini çevreden koruması ve çeşitli eylemlerini daha rahat devam ettirebilmesi için bir ihtiyaçtır. Bu ihtiyaç zaman geçtikçe ve teknoloji geliştikçe farklı türlerde bir çok mekânın oluşmasına sebep olmuştur. Bu sebeple insanlar yaşantılarının büyük bir bölümünü farklı fonksiyonlara sahip mekânlarda geçirdikleri için mekânlar, geçmişten günümüze değişen teknoloji ile birlikte gelişmiş ve sürekli yenilenmiştir. Mekânlar, insanlar için önemli yaşam alanları olduğundan dolayı insanların gereksinimlerine ve isteklerine göre tasarlanmaktadır. Tasarlanan, oluşan her mekân kendine özgü bir kimliğe bürünmektedir. Mekânlarda çeşitli bitirme öğeleri kullanılmaktadır. Sınırlayıcı öğeler, malzeme, bitki, ışık ve rengin kullanımı mekânda farklı kimliklerin oluşmasında etkin olmaktadır. Kullanılan bu öğeler kullanıcının psikolojisini, olumlu ya da olumsuz yönde etkileyebilmektedir. Bireyin hayatını ve çalışma alanınındaki performansını arttırırken, bazen de azalmasına sebep olmaktadır. Mekânların kişiliği ile kullanıcının kişiliği, birbiriyle etkileşim halindedir ve mekân algısı kavramını oluşturur. insanlar yaşadıkları mekâna göre şekillenir ya da mekânları kendi tarzlarına göre şekillendirir. Bu doğrultuda kullanılan her ürün insanı fiziksel ve psikolojik olarak etkiler. Bu çalışmada iç mekân tasarımında kullanılan bitirme öğelerinin; mekanları oluşturan sınırlayıcı elemanların, malzemelerin, ışığın ve rengin insan üzerinde yarattığı algının saptanması amaçlanmıştır. Farklı malzeme, renk ve ışık ile oluşan mekânların insan üzerinde etkileri incelenmiştir. Mekânda kullanılan bitirme öğelerinin insan algısı üzeri de etkisinin incelenmesi için algı ve mekân algısının oluşumu ele alınmıştır. Malzemenin türüne ve kullanıldığı duruma göre insanda yarattığı farklı etkiler analiz edilmiştir. Çeşitli fonksiyondaki mekânlarda kullanılması uygun ya da uygun olmayan ürünler incelenmiştir.

    Alevi ve Bektaşi yazı-resim sanatında insan sureti
    (Ankara Haci Bayram Veli University, 2020-03-20) Günana, Meryem
    Bu makalede; 1826’da dağıtılan Bektaşi tarikatı Babagan (Mücerret) kolunun üretmiş olduğu, ancak 1925 yılında tekke ve zaviyelerin kapatılmasıyla özel koleksiyonlara, müzelere girmiş fakat çoğunluğu ise tahrip edilmiş olan; sureti sîrete, sîreti surete dönüştüren “yazı-resim” sanatının Alevi ve Bektaşi erkânındaki yeri ve önemi anlatılmaya çalışılmıştır. Bu sanatın Hurûfîlik etkisiyle ortaya çıkmadığı, piktogram veya güzel yazı yazma/kaligrafi olmadığı; vahdet-i vücut düşüncesinin bir tezahürü olduğu ifade edilmiştir. Alevi ve Bektaşi erkânının ortaya koyduğu yazı-resim sanatının harflerle üretilmiş bulunması Hurufîlik olarak adlandırılmasına neden olsa da; bu sanatın Hurufîlik düşüncesinin ürünü değil aksine vahdet-i vücut düşüncesinin bir yansıması olduğuna dair açıklık getirilmiştir. Simetrik bir anlayışla gerçekleştirilen yazı-resimlerde, hat sanatında “müsennâ” yani “aynalı yazı” olarak bilinen yazı şeklinin neden tercih edildiği anlatılmaya çalışılmıştır. Varlığın zahir(dış) ve batın(iç) suretlerine simgesel bir göndermede bulunan yazı-resim sanatının vahdet-i vücut düşüncesi ile olan irtibatı anlatılmıştır. Yazı-resimlerde önemli bir yere sahip olan insan suretinde yapılmış eserlerin plastik değerleri ve bu eserler üzerinden, Alevi ve Bektaşi erkânında insan olmak, insan suretinin sîrete nasıl dönüştürüldüğü; insan suretinde yazılan “Allah-Muhammed-Ali” isimlerinin görünmeyenden nasıl görünür kılındığı anlatılmaya çalışılmıştır. Meleklerin Âdem’e secde ettikleri andan bugüne niçin İnsan’a secde edildiğine ve bunun Alevi ve Bektaşi erkânında taşıdığı anlamlara dair bilgi verilmiştir.
