Article Mediating Roles of Impulsivity and Risk-Taking in the Links of the Dark Triad With Flirting and Dating Via Social Media(Istanbul Univ, Fac Letters, dept Psychology, 2022) Demircioglu, Zeynep Isil; Goncu-Kose, AsliWith the acceleration of communication and access to information, individuals have begun to date via social networking sites. Although online dating has spread among university students recently, studies on this topic are very limited. The present study aimed to investigate the effects of the Dark Triad personality traits (i.e., Machiavellianism, psychopathy, and narcissism) on using Social Networking Sites (SNS) to find partners and face-to-face meeting/dating after flirting via the internet (i.e., face-to-face dating with a partner met via SNS). Furthermore, it was also aimed to identify the mediating roles of risk-taking and impulsivity in the relationships mentioned above. Data were collected from 358 University students (223 females and 135 males) who volunteered to complete the survey packages. The data was analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The age of the participants ranged between 18 and 49 (M = 22.67, SD = 2.83). The results revealed that narcissism was linked to using SNS to find partners, and impulsivity fully mediated the relationships of Machiavellianism with using SNS to find partners. In addition, the links of psychopathy with using SNS to find partners were partially mediated by impulsivity, with risk-taking fully mediating the effects of psychopathy and narcissism on face-to-face dating with a partner met via SNS. The present research revealed that impulsivity and risk-taking were the common attitudes underlying the links of psychopathy and narcissism with dating someone met via SNS. For individuals who score high on Machiavellianism, a low level of impulsivity is a protective factor; whereas a high level of impulsivity is a triggering factor that leads those with high psychopathy scores to search for partners via SNS. Contrary to expectations, narcissism was not directly associated with face-to-face dating a partner who was met via SNS. This finding may be related to the unidimensional measurement of narcissism, since grandiose narcissism is more likely to be positively associated with this risky and confident behavior, whereas vulnerable narcissism is less likely to have such an association.Article Kronik Hastalıklarda Duygu Düzenleme: Kalp ve Damar Sistemi Hastalıkları, Kanser, Migren, Fibromiyalji ve Sedef Hastalığı Üzerine Bir Derleme(Association for Clinical Psychology Research, 2023) Tuna, E.Emotion regulation (ER) involves conscious and automatic regulation of the occurrence, type, intensity, timing, and expression of emotions. Previous studies indicate that ER not only affects individuals’ mental health outcomes, but also plays a critical role in physical health as well. Especially in chronic diseases, how emotions are regulated shapes many patient variables including self-care, treatment adherence, and stress management; affecting both physical and psychological well-being. Furthermore, there is evidence that ER plays a role in initiation and prognosis of some chronic diseases. The aim of this review article was to summarize evidence regarding the association between chronic diseases and ER, and describe limitations in the existing studies in order to guide future research. To reach this aim, after a brief discussion of the mechanisms between emotions and health, we discussed research findings on ER in cardiovascular disease (CVD), cancer, migraine, fibromyalgia, and psoriasis, respectively. Findings indicate that emotion and ER play a role in the etiology of CVD; yet there are mixed findings regarding their role in the etiology of cancer. Research on migraine, psoriasis and fibromyalgia are rather correlational. Findings generally suggest that individuals with a chronic disease report more problems in ER as compared to healthy individuals. Frequent use of less adaptive strategies among patients have been related to less favorable outcomes such as psychopathology symptoms, bodily symptoms, and lower quality of life. Understanding ER in chronic diseases could guide the development of prevention and intervention programs aimed at increasing patients’ quality of life. The article ends with an evaluation of the literature and suggestions for clinical practice. © 2023 Klinik Psikoloji Araştırmaları Derneği.

The aim of the second study is to validate the GDST psychometrically. Methods: In the first study participants were assessed with GDST. Sample comprised of 400 Turkish university students and video game players (54.0% male, mean age 24.30 years, SD=6.83) that was enrolled online. In the second study the sample (n=326; 60.1% male, mean age 23.54 years, SD=4.44) was similar with the first study. Participants were assessed with GDST, the South Oaks Gambling Screen (SOGS) and the Gambling Motives Questionnaire (GMQ). Results: In the first study, according to the exploratory factor analysis a single component accounted for 64.02% of total variance. The scale was internally consistent with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.93, thus considered as reliable. In the second study, confirmatory factor analysis showed that GDST's factor structure (i.e., the unidimensional structure) was satisfactory. Positive correlations between GDST and the number of self-reported gambling type, SOGS and GMQ scores demonstrated adequate convergent and criterion-related validity. Also the GDST had a Cronbach's alpha of 0.92 in this sample. Conclusion: These findings from Study 1 and Study 2 suggest that the Turkish GDST is a valid and reliable measure to assess the severity of GD related issues according to APA's framework among young adults and for the purposes of early detection of GD in clinical settings and research.Article Citation - WoS: 8Metacognitive Beliefs and Coping Strategies of Suicide Attempters(Yerkure Tanitim & Yayincilik Hizmetleri A S, 2019) Yazihan, Naksidil Torun; Cinar, Orhan; Canbaz, Hayri; Ak, MehmetObjective: Metacognition is an essential process regarding decision-making and coping with stressful life events. In this present study, we aimed to examine the metacognitive beliefs and coping strategies of suicide attempters with subthreshold depressive symptoms. Methods: Thirty suicide attempters (mean age of 25.50 +/- 7.66 years) with subthreshold depressive symptoms and 30 healthy participants (mean age of 28.27 +/- 7.13 years) were compared with regard to Metacognition Questionnaire-30 (MCQ-30) and COPE Questionnaire. Results: The MANOVA results revealed significant differences between the groups for the subscales of MCQ-30 namely, "negative beliefs about thoughts", "need to control thoughts" and "lack of cognitive confidence". The results also indicated significant difference regarding "positive reinterpretation", "seeking social support for instrumental reasons", "active coping, planning, and problem-focused coping", "behavioral disengagement", "alcohol-drug disengagement" and "dysfunctional coping" subscales of COPE Questionnaire. In addition, moderate correlations were found between the MCQ-30 and the COPE subscales based on the Pearson's correlation coefficients. Conclusions: This study revealed the effect of particular metacognitive beliefs and type of coping style on suicidal behavior. This study is important for identifying risk factors and explaining how metacognitive beliefs and coping strategies are related to suicidal behavior. Maladaptive metacognitions may lead to overestimation of perceived stress and underestimation of cognitive resources and coping skills which may prevent individulas to produce adaptive coping strategies against stressful life events.
