Yayın Exploring the impact of Flash technique on test anxiety among adolescents(SAGE Publications Ltd, 2025-07) Çitil Akyol, Canan; İnci İzmir, Sevim BerrinThis study aims to investigate the specific effects of Flash Technique (FT) on adolescents with test anxiety. This follow-up study consists of 38 adolescents, 14–17 years of age (M = 15.39, SD = 1.13). Pre-post assessments were conducted using the Test Anxiety Inventory (TAI), Scale of Attitudes Negatively Affecting the Performance I/Test (POET), and Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) at baseline, at the end of the 4thand 12thweeks of therapy. The FT was applied for 12 weeks, with one weekly session as an intervention. As a result of the therapy process, the baseline means of total BAI scores decreased from 25.26 to 2.18; the baseline means of TAI decreased from 149.79 to 39.13, and the baseline mean of POET decreased from 298.47 to 73.84 at the end of the 12th week of therapy. Also, the baseline means of SUD scores decreased from 9.42 to zero at the end of the 12th week of treatment. All the adolescents showed complete improvement after the 12th week of the FT. The study findings showed that the test anxiety symptoms significantly decreased with the treatment of the FT. FT can be an effective intervention for test anxiety in adolescents.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.Yayın Reliability of direct-to-home teleneuropsychological assessment: a within-subject design study(Routledge, 2025-07-04) Yıldırım, Elif; Soncu Büyükişcan, Ezgi; Akça Kalem, Şükriye; Gürvit, HakanObjective: During the COVID-19 pandemic, the need to continue diagnosis and treatment processes, in addition to scientific research, led to a rapid shift towards direct-to-home tele-neuropsychology administrations, the reliability and validity of which had not been clearly established then. This study, therefore, aimed to examine the reliability of direct-to-home tele-neuropsychological assessment (TNP). Method: The sample included 105 cognitively healthy individuals aged between 50–83 years, and 47 patients diagnosed with neurocognitive disorders (mild cognitive impairment and early-stage Alzheimer’s type dementia). All participants underwent both face-to-face and teleneuropsychological assessments in a counterbalanced order. Results: The results revealed that performances across measures of attention, working memory, verbal fluency, verbal and visual memory, and visual perception were comparable across assessment modalities. Intraclass correlation coefficients of the tests ranged from.54 to.92. Conclusions: The findings of the study provide support for direct-to-home teleneuropsychological assessment among patients with neurocognitive disorders. Neuropsychological tests relying on verbal administration and independent of motor performance may represent a reliable alternative for this patient group when administered in settings where external distractions or technological limitations are controlled. For cognitively healthy individuals, on the other hand, the reliability of the TNP application is more questionable for memory and some executive function tests and therefore needs further exploration.
