Online trolling is online behavior in which the troll provokes, harms, and pretends to be someone else to achieve their goals. The purpose of trolls may be to harm the other person, but they can also be for entertainment purposes. Online trolling, for whatever purpose, can have significant psychological effects on individuals and people who are socially exposed. In addition, online trolling is becoming more common every day. However, there are very few studies on trolling. Therefore, the study aims to examine the mediating role of empathy in the relationship between dark triad personality traits and levels of online trolling. For this purpose, structural equation modeling and bootstrapping method was used. The participants comprised 516 (%71.6 females; %28.4 males) undergraduates. The ages of the participants ranged from 18 to 31 ([X-bar]= 21.09). The measures used included the Online Trolling Scale, Dirty Dozen Scale, and Toronto Empathy Questionnaire. In the study, it was found that there were significant relationships between the dark triad, online trolling, and empathy. Also, the results of the structural equation model showed that the effect of the dark triad on online trolling was mediated by empathy. This result was found to be significant with bootstrapping.

This research aims to examine the relationships between personality traits and the grit levels of university students. Participants of the study are 379 students (304 females, 75 males). The age range of the study group is 18-25. Five-Factor Personality Scale, Short Grit Scale, and Personal Information Form were used as data collection tools in the study. Analysis of the data was performed using the Pearson product moments correlation with the SPSS program and t-test techniques for independent groups. According to the findings obtained from the study, a positive significant relationship was found between liability, openness to experience, extraversion and adaptation personality traits, and grit levels. It's also found that a negative relationship between neuroticism and grit levels. In terms of gender, there was no significant difference between male students and female students in grit levels. However, in terms of gender, it was observed that there was a significant difference between male students and female students in terms of adaptation and openness to experience. The research findings were discussed within the scope of the literature and recommendations were made according to the results.

This study examines the relationship between spousal support and the ability to express feelings of marital satisfaction, and the extent to which spousal support and the ability to express feelings can predict marital satisfaction. Research was conducted in accordance with general survey models. The study group comprised 195 married couples (N = 390) residing in one of the biggest cities in central Anatolia. The Marital Life Scale, Spousal Support Scale, and Emotional Expression Scale were applied to the married couples and a Personal Information Form was provided. The data analysis used the Pearson moment correlation coefficient, multiple regression analysis, and the Kendall correlation coefficient. The results indicated that there was a relationship between all the sub-dimensions of spousal support and marital satisfaction; moreover, spousal support was found to be a significant predictor of marital satisfaction. While a significant correlation was found between marital satisfaction and the expression of proximity emotion, one of the sub-dimensions of the Emotional Expression Scale, no significant correlation was found between the expression of negative and positive emotions. In addition, according to the results of the multiple regression analysis, the expression of feelings did not predict marital satisfaction.

The aim of this research is to analyse the trait anxiety and locus of control of undergraduates in terms of their attachment styles. This research has been conducted in accordance with general screening model. The target population of the research is constituted of 480 undergraduates. Pearson moments multiplication correlation coefficient technique, analysis of variance and Tukey test have been employed for analysing the data. As a result of the research, it has been found out that trait anxiety and the locus of control of negative self model and negative others model are positively correlated. Another symptom of the research is the finding that the trait anxiety point averages of the individuals of preoccupied and fearful attachment is higher than those of secure attachment style. Also, the point averages of trait anxiety of fearful attachment individuals have been determined to be expressively higher than the individuals who are dismissing attachment. It has been found out that the locus of control point averages of secure attachment undergraduates is expressively lower than those of preoccupied and fearful attachment undergraduates.

The purpose of this study is to examine if attachment styles predict emotional intelligence (intrapersonal, interpersonal, adaptability, stress management, and general mood). Participants of the study consisted of 463 (272 females, 191 males) undergraduate students selected randomly from different faculties of Selcuk University. Regression and correlation analyses were used for data analysis. Results indicate that there is a significant positive correlation between the secure attachment style and all subscales of emotional intelligence abilities. Results also indicate that attachment styles significantly explain emotional intelligence and secure attachment style predict all sub-dimensions of emotional intelligence. (Contains 7 tables.)

Phubbing among undergraduate has become an area of increasing research interest in recent years. In recent years, studies on phubbing have increased. However, no empirical study has deal with the mediating effect of fear of missing out (FoMO) on the relationship between dark triad and phubbing. The dark triad refers to three personality traits: Machiavellianism, psychopathy, and narcissism. Machiavellianism is characterized by prioritizing one's own wishes and desires. Psychopathy, is a personality trait where lack of emotion and self-control is seen. Narcissism is characterized by low empathy and egocentrism. Thus, the purpose of this study was to examine whether FoMO mediator between dark triad and phubbing among undergraduates. For this purpose, structural equation modeling and bootstrapping method was used. Mediation analyses were performed using AMOS 22.00. The present study comprised 506 undergraduate (%70.7 female; %29.3 male). The age of the participants ranged between 18 and 29 (x = 22.41).The measures used included the General Scale of Phubbing, Fear of Missing Out Scale, and Dirty Dozen Scale. The results showed that FoMO mediated the relationship between dark triad and phubbing. The results of bootstrapping procedure indicated that the indirect effect of FoMO on the relationship between dark triad and phubbing was significant. In conclusion, the study suggests that FoMO is a meaningful mediator in the relationship between dark triad and phubbing. Research results are discussed in the light of the related literature and suggestions are presented for future researchers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The results also show that life satisfaction is positively correlated with confrontation, emotional expression and self-disclosure.

COVID-19 pandemic has had a negative impact on individuals both psychologically and socially. The current research shows that problematic technology use and mental health problems increased during the pandemic period. In this study, studies examining the relationship between problematic technology use and mental health problems in the COVID-19 pandemic were examined and a meta-analysis was conducted. The present meta-analysis focused on the problematic technology use (i.e., internet addiction, smartphone ad diction, social media addiction, and game addiction) and mental health problems in the COVID -19 pandemic. Searches were conducted for relevant studies using the ProQuest, PubMed, Science Direct, Scopus, Web of Science, ERIC, and TR Dizin databases. A total of 56 studies met the inclusion criteria. A total of 53,047 participants were reached in these studies. Rosenthal’s classic fail-safe N analysis reveals that the meta-analysis result is statistically significant (p=.000). Moreover, the fact that the Begg and Mazumdar rank correlation is not significant indicates the absence of publication bias (p=0.28). In addition, no missing studies were found in Duval and Tweedie’s trim and fill analysis. The results demonstrated that problematic technology use was moderately positively correlated with mental health problems (r=0.33, n=53.047). In addition, the Q statistic (1833.059) examined to control heterogeneity shows that all variables are heterogeneous. The results of the I2 statistic (93.4%) show that a high level of heterogeneity has been achieved. This finding shows that problematic technology use was associated with various mental health problems during the pandemic period. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of the present study is to translate and adapt the Geriatric Anxiety Scale (GAS), a 30-item self-report measure of anxiety among older adults, into Turkish and examine its basic psychometric properties. We tested the translated GAS in a sample of community-dwelling older adults in Konya, Turkey (N=100; Mage=71.4 years, SD=6.5; range=65-88) without a history of mental disorder and sufficient cognitive abilities. To assess the convergent validity, Turkish versions of the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) and Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) were administered. The mean GAS total score was 13.33 (SD=11.86). Due to low item-total correlations (<0.30), two items (items 2 and 3) were removed from the Turkish version of the GAS. The internal reliability (Cronbach's alpha) was excellent for the total score (0.91) and acceptable for the subscales (somatic = 0.71; cognitive = 0.85; affective = 0.84). Regarding the convergent validity, the GAS total score was significantly and positively correlated with the total scores of the BAI (r=0.87, P<0.05) and GDS (r=0.57, P<0.05), with large effect sizes. Implications: The newly translated Turkish version of the GAS has promising utility in an older adult Turkish sample. Future studies of this measure are warranted. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study examined the potential antecedents of multidimensional work-family conflict in a sample of 828 academic staff. Following previous meta-analyses, antecedents of work-family conflict were categorized into three domains as individual/demographic (e.g., gender), work (e.g., work role overload), and nonwork/family (e.g., family role overload) variables. Multidimensional Work Family Conflict Scale (MWFCS) was used to measure each three types (time-based, strain-based, and behavior-based) of work-family and familywork conflict. After controlling for individual and family domain variables, work domain variables added significant variance in predicting all types of work-family conflict. Similarly, after controlling for individual and work domain variables, family domain variables added significant variance in predicting familywork conflict variables, except for behavior-based family-work conflict. Implications of these findings for practice and future research on work-family conflict were discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of this study is to reveal the explanatory and predictive relationship between academicians' values, mobbing, and organizational commitments, on the one hand, and to test a model that originated from these relationships, on the other. A relational survey was applied to determine the relationship between two or more variables and obtain clues regarding their cause and effect relationship. The study's working group was composed of 512 academicians currently working at a university. In the study, The Values Scale developed by Schwartz, The Mobbing Scale developed by Yaman, and The Organizational Commitment scale developed by Meyer, Allen, and Smith were utilized. Analyses of the study performed according to the structural equation model using AMOS 16 software. Structural equation modeling is a statistical approach used to test a theoretical model that presents the causal relationships between latent variables. The study's findings revealed that values are statistically meaningful predictors of mobbing and organizational commitment. According to the results, the values of power, success, hedonism, excitement, self-regulation, universality, humanity, conventionalism, conformity, and security, have a positive impact on both mobbing and organizational commitment.

The purpose of the present study is to find out whether there is a significant correlation between university students' social anxiety and their coping with stress styles, and whether coping with stress styles predict social anxiety at a significant level. The findings of the study show that there are significant negative correlations between self confident and optimistic approaches to coping with stress and social anxiety and its sub-scales of social avoidance/shyness, low self appraisal and expectancy of criticism by others and that there are positive correlations between social anxiety and following helpless, submissive approaches and receiving social support. It has also been observed that different styles of coping with stress explain social avoidance, expectancy of criticism by others and lack of self-value subscales of social anxiety.

The purpose of this study was to examine the validity and reliability of a Turkish version of the Kidcope (Kidcope-T), developed by Spirito, Stark, and Williams (1988), which is one of the most widely used brief instruments for the assessment of children's and adolescents' coping strategies. Participants were 453 grade 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11 students. Alternative models suggested from previous research were tested using Confirmatory Factor Analyses and Spirito's three-factor model was found to provide the best fit to the data. The convergent validity of the Kidcope was supported by a moderate correlation between the subscales and trait anxiety. The internal consistency score of the Kidcope subscales were α = .72 for Active Coping, α = .70 for Avoidant Coping, and α = .65 for Negative Coping. Test-retest reliability in an interval of three weeks were r = .66 for Active Coping, r = .61 for Avoidant Coping, and r = .76 for Negative Coping.. These results revealed that this scale is a valid and reliable instrument to use with Turkish 7-11 grade students as a measure of coping approaches students. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between early separation anxiety, attachment styles and adjustment. The participants of study are 158 female and 105 male university students. Their ages are between 17-19 and age means are 18.66 (Ss:0.51). To collect data personal information form, The Separation Anxiety Symptom Scale (Ceyhan, 2000), Raynolds Adolescent Adjustment Screening Inventory (adapted to Turkish by Meric, 2007) and The Inventory of Experiences on Close Relationships (Sumer, 2006) were used. According to results, there is a significant positive correlation between early separation anxiety and adjustment -high points state general adjustment of people- (r=.26, p<.001). There is also significant positive correlation between early separation anxiety and avoidance - dimension of attachment styles- (r=.13, p<.05). Another significant positive correlation between early separation anxiety and anxiety -dimension of attachment styles- (r=.40, p<.001) was found. These results show that early separation anxiety correlate with adjustment and attachment styles. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between psychological symptoms and self-esteem of students from Turkish and Turkic Societies who are studying in Turkey. The study has a survey research design. The study group consists of 207 university students from Turkish and Turkic Societies (23 females and 184 males). For data collection two instruments were used. The first was a "Self-Esteem Scale" which was developed by Arıcak (1999). The second instrument was a Psychological Symptoms Checklist (SCL-90-R) developed by Derogatis and Cleary (1977). Turkish validity and reliability studies of the checklist were conducted by a variety of researchers (Tufan, 1987; Kiliç,1987; Dağ, 1991; Vergili and Ebru, 1998). The research results indicate a negative correlation between self-esteem and somatisation, anxiety, obsession, depression, interpersonal sensitivity, paranoid thinking, anger, phobic and general symptoms index of students from Turkish and Turkic Societies. Psychological symptoms of students from Turkish and Turkic Societies significantly explained their self-esteem. Moreover, anger, obsession and psychotic symptoms, respectively, were important predictors of self-esteem. The research results revealed that almost 50% of these students showed psychological symptoms at various levels. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this study we investigated the effects of attachment styles of university students on their social skills and loneliness levels. Their social skill levels, loneliness levels, and attachment styles were measured using the Social Skills Inventory, UCLA Loneliness Scale, and Relationships Scale Questionnaire respectively. To analyze data, t tests, correlation analyses, and regression analyses were employed. Emotional expressivity levels, emotional sensitivity levels, social control levels, and total social skill levels of female students were found to be significantly higher than those of male students. However, emotional control levels of male students were significantly higher than those of female students. A significant effect of attachment styles on loneliness and social skills was detected. The social skill levels of students who have secure attachment styles were found to be significantly higher than the social skill levels of students who have insecure attachment styles. Average loneliness points of students who do not have a romantic relationship were found to be significantly higher than others. However, the average social skill points of those students were found to be significantly lower than others. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article examines the study which determines the use of emotional intelligence levels of academic staff in predicting their humor style and life satisfaction in significant levels. 362 academic staff, comprising of 134 women and 228 men, are made as the subject of the study. They were asked to answer Humor Styles Questionnaire, Life Satisfaction Scale and the Satisfaction with Life Scale in order to derive the desired results. When the answers from these three questionnaires were evaluated, it was revealed that emotional intelligence sub-scales of personal skills, interpersonal skills, adaptation, and coping with stress are different with regards to academic degree variable.

The purpose of this study was to investigate agression and interpersonal problem solving in terms of gender, and to investigate relationship between agression and interpersonal problem solving of adolescents. The study was in survey model and participants were 483 (180 female and 303 male) adolescents. T test, Pearson product-moment correlation coefficients and multiple regression analysis were determined. In study it was found that average agression of adolescent in terms of gender were significantly. As a result of the study it was found that there was a positive relationship between agression with approaching problems in a negative way, lack of self confidence, unwillingness to take responsibility and a negative relationship between agression with constructive problem solving and insisting-preserving approach. Besides, it was found that constructive problem solving and ınsistent-preserving approach explain aggression. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
