Article Citation - WoS: 2The Mediator Role of Positive and Negative Affect in the Relationship Between Sleep Quality, Depressive Symptoms and Anxiety in Young Adults(Galenos Publ House, 2022) Yazihan, Naksidil; Tuna, Ezgi; Fidantek, HulyaObjective: It is known that individuals with poor sleep quality show significantly more depression and anxiety symptoms. It is important to investigate possible factors that may make individuals more vulnerable to develop depression and anxiety. For this purpose, the possible mediator roles of positive affect (PA) and negative affect (NA) in the relationship between sleep quality and depression- anxiety symptoms in young adults were tested by using multiple mediation analysis. Materials and Methods: The sample of the study consisted of 387 volunteer participants aged between 18 and 35 years (mean=22.83, standard deviation=3.20). Data consisting of Pittsburgh sleep quality index, positive and negative emotion scale, and brief symptom inventory were collected through an online computer-assisted protocol. Results: Significant positive correlations were found between low sleep quality scores and both depressive and anxiety symptoms. According to the two mediator variable models, low sleep quality influenced depressive symptoms indirectly through PA and NA, and anxiety through only NA. Alternative models of the results showed that depressive symptoms influenced sleep quality partially through PA and NA, while anxiety mediated this relationship only through PA. Conclusion: Alternative models tested to understand the direction of the relationship between depressive-anxiety symptoms and sleep quality. Although the results were significant, the explained variance was found to be less explanatory than the first and second models. The results of the study supported the idea that sleep quality, PA and NA should be targeted while developing prevention and intervention programs for depression and anxiety.Article The Associations Between Sleep Problems, Parental Attitudes, and Behavioral Problems in Preschool Children(Galenos Publ House, 2025) Torun, Naksidil Yazihan; Sayinta, Senanur; Kocak, Hatice Nur; Kilic, Kizbes MeralObjective: This study aims to examine the relationships between preschool children's sleep characteristics, social competence, behavioral problems, and parental attitudes and focus specifically on how preschool children's sleep mediates the relationship between parental attitudes and children's social competence and behavioral problems. Materials and Methods: This study's sample consisted of 142 parents of preschoolers. Data were collected using the "Demographic Information Form", "Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire", "Social Competence" and Behavior Evaluation Scale-30, and Parenting Attitude Scale. Results: Significant moderate correlations were found between sleep habits, parental attitudes, and children's behavioral-emotional problems. The mediatory role of sleep duration and sleep anxiety of the children between democratic parental attitude and social competence was also significant. The mediators (sleep duration and sleep anxiety) accounted for part of the pathway through which democratic parenting affects social competence. Conclusion: This study emphasizes the pivotal role of parental attitudes in influencing children's sleep-related difficulties and daytime behavioral problems. Effective management of sleep anxiety and sleep duration in children has the potential to enhance their behavioral and emotional outcomes.
