Book Part Fifty Shades of Darth Vaders in Organizations: An Overview of Destructive Leadership(2021) Ok, A. Başak; Göncü Köse, Aslı; Toker Gültaş, YoncaBook Part Are Teens at Risk? An Overview of Social Media Addiction among Adolescents(2021) Demircioğlu, Zeynep Işıl; Göncü Köse, AslıBelongingness and interpersonal communication are among the most essential human needs. However, the ways individuals satisfy these needs change with the advances in technology. Especially with the increase of internet usage, social media platforms became the primary source that satisfies these needs of individuals. However, despite of its contribution to social communication, recent research also revealed the negative consequences of social media use, especially those of social media addiction. Social media addiction (SMA) is defined as possessing a high motivation or inner tendency to use social media to an extent that it leads to dysfunctional outcomes such as failure in work/academic performance, decline in psychological well-being, or breakdown in social relationships. As an initial step for prevention programs, identifying the antecedents and the protective factors for SMA is as important as revealing its consequences. In the present chapter, characteristics of SMA, along with antecedents and consequences of SMA among adolescents are summarized. Furthermore, future directions for SMA research, practical implications and intervention strategies indicated in the literature to prevent SMA among adolescents are presented.Article Severity of Internet gaming disorder symptoms might be related with the body mass index(2018) Evren, Cüneyt; Evren, Bilge; Dalbudak, Ercan; Topcu, Merve; Kutlu, NilayArticle Attention mediates the effect of emotional arousal on learning outcomes in multimedia learning: an eye-tracking study(2023) Genç Aksaray, Sevgi; Özçelik, ErolRecent findings from psychological studies have shown that emotional arousal improves human memory. However, more evidence is necessary if these results are generalisable to multimedia learning environments. Considering these needs, the study has the goal to examine the effect of emotional arousal on multimedia learning. Fifty-seven participants were presented with instructional materials with either high- or low-arousing words and pictures in an experimental study. The eye movements of participants were recorded while they studied the instructional materials to examine the online processes during learning. The results suggest that emotional arousal enhanced recall and transfer scores. The eye-tracking results demonstrate that emotional arousal attracted attention. The results of the mediation analysis suggest that fixation time on emotional pictures as an indicator of attention mediated the relationship between emotional arousal and learning outcomes. The findings show the importance of the guidance of attention by emotional multimedia elements for learning.Article An Investigation of the Differences in the Dark Triad and the Big Five Personality Traits Across Majors(2019) Göncü Köse, Aslı; Ekren, BuseThe Dark Triad (DT) personality traits include interrelated personality constructs which are Machiavellianism, narcissism, and psychopathy, and research has shown that individuals who are high on the DT personality traits tend to choose occupations that provide outcomes compatible with these traits. Supporting this reasoning, the DT is suggested to have impacts on major choices of university students. Previous research has also shown that the Big Five (BF) personality traits influenced educational choices. The main aim of the current study was to examine whether or not self-selection based on these personality characteristics predicted career choices. Data was collected from 659 (359 female) newly enrolled students in seven academic majors (i.e., psychology, law, economics/business, engineering, political science, medicine, and education) in Turkey. Mean scores of the groups were compared using two (gender) by seven (major) analysis of variance with the DT and BF personality traits as the dependent variables. The results revealed that Machiavellianism scores of economics/business and engineering students were significantly higher than those of psychology students. In addition, psychopathy scores of engineering, economics/business, and political science students were higher than those of psychology students. Neuroticism scores of students from psychology departments were higher than those of engineering, economics/business, and political science students. Law and education students’ neuroticism scores were also higher than those of students from engineering and economics/business departments. Finally, interaction effects of major and gender were significant for openness to experience and conscientiousness. The findings are discussed regarding theoretical and practical implications along with suggestions for future research.Article The effect of agitation on caregivers’ burden in patients with dementia(2014) Özel Kizil, Erguvan Tuğba; Altintafi, H. Özge; Bafituğ, Gülbahar; Durmaz, Nazli; Altunöz, UmutIntroduction: The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of agitation on caregiver relatives’ subjective burden together with other possible factors such as depressive symptoms, cognitive functions, duration of dementia, and caregivers’ age, education and gender. Materials and Method: The participants were 49 patients with dementia (mean age: 76.5; SD: 5.6) and their caregivers. Standardized Mini Mental Test and Cornell Scale for Depression in Dementia were administered to the patient. Cohen-Mansfield Agitation Inventory, Informant Questionnaire of Cognitive Decline in the Elderly and Zarit Burden Scale were administered to the ca-regivers. Linear regression analysis was used to examine the effects of the variables on caregiver burden. Results: There was neither a significant difference between gender and type of caregiver in terms of Zarit Burden Scale points, nor a significant correlation between Zarit Burden Scale scores and Standardized Mini Mental Test, Cornell Scale for Depression in Dementia, age and education of the patient, education of the caregiver or duration of dementia. Significant correlations between Zarit Burden Scale scores and caregivers’ age, Informant Questionnaire of Cognitive Decline in the Elderly and Cohen-Mansfield Agitation Inventory scores were found. Linear regression analysis showed a relationship only between agitation and caregiver burden. Conclusion: Patients’ agitation frequency which was assessed by Cohen-Mansfield Agitation Inventory was the basic factor in determining subjective caregiving. In addition to psychopharma-cological treatment, psychosocial interventions for caregivers are effective. In our country, dayca-re and homecare services, as well as supportive and educative psychosocial programs including interventions for agitation, should be improved.Article Are General Intelligence and Implicit Memory Related?: The Effect of Age(2019) Kaynak, HandeThis study investigated the relationship between general intelligence and implicit memory performance in conjunction with aging. Data have been collected from 95 volunteers (49 young-46 older adults). General intelligence was measured by the Raven Standard Progressive Matrices (RSPM) test. Participants’ implicit memory performance was measured by the Word Stem Completion (WSC) task, in which the participants were presented with first three letters of a word and asked to complete this stem with the first word that comes to their mind. Explicit memory performance was also measured to be able to make a comparison with implicit memory performance and to document the differentiation between implicit and explicit memory. Although the same WSC task was used to measure implicit and explicit memory performance separately, the different instructions were used to deduce the different memory types. According to the results of factorial ANOVA, the main effect of age on general intelligence score was found to be statistically significant. After running further analyses by Pearson product-moment correlation coefficients, results indicated that RSPM test total correct score had a tendency to decrease with increasing age and RSPM test completion time had a tendency to increase with aging. Results also showed that implicit WSC task score and RSPM test total correct score were positively correlated. Similarly, explicit WSC task score and RSPM test total correct score were positively correlated, too. However, RSPM test completion time did not differ depending on implicit and explicit memory performances which were measured by WSC task. The present study indicated the relation between implicit WSC task and general intelligence. Within this context, this study is important to draw attention to the contribution of implicit memory measurement which is in the shadow of traditional explicit memory measurements to general intelligence, especially in older population.Article Relationship of internet gaming disorder severity with symptoms of anxiety, depression, alexithymia, and aggression among university students(Yerküre Tanıtım & Yayıncılık Hizmetleri, 2019) Evren, Cüneyt; Evren, Bilge; Dalbudak, Ercan; Topcu, Merve; Kutlu, NilayObjective: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the relationship of Internet gaming disorder severity with alexithymia and aggression among university students, while controlling for effects of anxiety and depressive symptoms. Method: The study was conducted with an online survey among 987 volunteer university students in Ankara. Participants were evaluated by administering the Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20), the Buss-Perry Aggression Questionnaire (BPAQ), the Internet Gaming Disorder Scale-Short-Form (IGDS9-SF), and the depression and anxiety subscales of the 90-Item Symptom Checklist-Revised (SCL-90-R). Results: Scores for the different scales mildly correlated with one other. In hierarchical linear regression analysis, both alexithymia (particularly the dimensions "difficulty identifying feelings" [DIF] and "externally-oriented thinking" [EOT]) and aggression (physical aggression) predicted the severity of Internet gaming disorder symptoms, together with severity of depressive symptoms. Conclusion: These findings suggest that among university students, the severity of alexithymia, particularly in its dimensions DDF and EOT, is related with the severity of Internet gaming disorder, together with aggression, particularly physical aggression, and depression.
