Review Citation Count: 0Psychological Models of Insomnia Disorder: A Recent Review(Galenos Publ House, 2024) Turkarslan, Kutlu Kagan; Cinarbas, Deniz Canel; Department of PsychologyInsomnia disorder, causing personal and societal costs, is a psychiatric disorder characterized by difficulties in falling asleep, maintaining sleep, and waking up earlier than planned in the morning. Approximately 10% of the population suffers from insomnia. Previous studies have shown that insomnia disorder reduces the overall quality of life, decreases daily functionality, leads to impairments in some psychomotor and cognitive skills, reduces job performance, causes more absenteeism at work, and increases treatment costs for disorders other than insomnia. Moreover, insomnia is a risk factor for different psychiatric disorders. Research conducted over the last 50 years has led to the emergence of various models to explain insomnia disorder from psychological viewpoints. These psychological models can be listed as the "stimulus control model", "Spielman model", "microanalytic model", "neurocognitive model", "high -risk model of threat perception", "sleep interfering -sleep interpreting processes model", "psychobiological inhibition model", "cognitive model", "evolutionary -emotional model", and "fear simulation model". The aim of this review article is to present an up-todate picture of the psychological models of insomnia by outlining the basicPublication Citation Count: 0The Roles of Intrusive Visual Imagery and Verbal Thoughts in Pre-Sleep Arousal of Patients with Insomnia Disorder: A Path Model ( oct , 2023 , 10.1007/s10608-023-10442-0)(Springer/plenum Publishers, 2024) Turkarslan, Kutlu Kagan; Cinarbas, Deniz Canel; Perogamvros, Lampros; Department of Psychology[No Abstract Available]Article Citation Count: 0Envious gazes and evil eye beads: A self-psychological perspective on the evil eye(Taylor & Francis inc, 2024) Turkarslan, Kutlu Kagan; Kozak, Ekin Doga; Department of PsychologyThe evil eye, the harmful effects of the envious gaze, is a common superstitious belief in many societies around the world, including Turkey. Since ancient times, people have developed a wide variety of practices and rituals to ward off the evil eye. It is generally believed that the evil eye is motivated by one of the most challenging emotions, envy. The discussion of envy has a long history in psychoanalysis. Unfortunately, psychoanalytic self-psychology has neglected envy and confined it to the concept of fragmentation products. This paper aims to contribute a self-psychological understanding of an envy-related cultural concept, the evil eye. The evil eye-related phenomena in Turkey, such as the harmful potential of gazes, the use of talismans and amulets for protection, and the fear of praising and exhibition, are discussed from a self-psychological perspective. Several short clinical vignettes delineating the evil eye in clinical practice are presented.Article Citation Count: 0Transference interpretation and psychotherapy outcome: a systematic review of a no-consensus relationship(Spr Italia, 2024) Yilmaz, Meltem; Turkarslan, Kutlu Kagan; Zanini, Ludovica; Hasdemir, Dilara; Spitoni, Grazia Fernanda; Lingiardi, Vittorio; Department of PsychologyDespite its well -established importance in psychoanalytic theory, there is a scarcity of empirical evidence on the relationship between a therapist's transference interpretation (TI) and therapeutic outcome. The current scientific literature shows no consensus on the existence and nature of such an association. Therefore, the present study aimed to systematically review the literature on the link between TI and outcomes in psychodynamic psychotherapies. The American Psychological Association PsycInfo, MEDLINE, and the Web of Science Core Collection were selected as the primary databases for the literature search. Studies were included if they measured the frequency/concentration of TI in psychodynamic psychotherapy [ e.g ., transference focused psychotherapy (TFP), supportive -expressive therapy] or compared a treatment group ( e.g ., high in TI and TFP) with a control group ( e.g. , low in TI supportive therapy) in an adult population with psychiatric symptoms. Out of 825 retrieved abstracts, 25 articles (21 studies) were included in the final synthesis. 13 out of 21 (62%) studies showed a significant improvement in at least one therapy outcome measure following the use of TI. The present systematic review also revealed high heterogeneity across studies in terms of TI measurement, outcome assessment ( e.g ., psychiatric symptoms, dynamic change, interpersonal functioning, therapeutic alliance), study design ( e.g ., experimental, quasi -experimental, naturalistic), patient population ( e.g ., anxiety disorders, personality disorders), and types of treatment ( e.g ., TFP, supportive -expressive therapy), preventing researchers from asserting solid conclusions. The results strongly highlight the urgent need for highquality research to understand which types of patients, how, and when TIs could be effective throughout the therapy process.Conference Object Citation Count: 0The Psychometric Properties of the Hogg Eco-Anxiety Scale in the Turkish Context(Hogrefe Ag-hogrefe Ag Suisse, 2023) Turkarslan, Kutlu Kagan; Kozak, Ekin Doga; Yildirim, Julide Ceren; Department of Psychology[No Abstract Available]Conference Object Citation Count: 0The Roles of Intrusive Visual Imagery and Verbal Thoughts in Insomnia Severity: The Mediational Role of Pre-sleep Arousal(Hogrefe Ag-hogrefe Ag Suisse, 2023) Turkarslan, Kutlu Kagan; Cinarbas, Deniz Canel; Perogamvros, Lampros; Department of Psychology[No Abstract Available]Article Citation Count: 0Insomnia Severity Predicts Psychiatric Symptoms: A Cross-Sectional Study Investigating the Partial Mediations of Worry and Rumination(Routledge, 2024) Türkarslan,K.K.; Canel Çınarbaş,D.; Department of PsychologyObjective: Insomnia as a disorder on its own or as a symptom of other mental disorders can lead to significant distress and lower quality of life. By exacerbating negative affect and emotion dysregulation, poor sleep and insomnia can contribute to the initiation and maintenance of mental disorders. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to investigate the relationship between insomnia severity and overall psychiatric symptoms (anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, somatization, phobic anxiety, hostility, interpersonal sensitivity, paranoid ideation, and psychoticism), and the mediational roles of worry and rumination in this relationship. Method: The data was collected from a community sample of 1444 participants (females 69.39%, Mage = 27.95, SD = 9.37) who completed self-report measures of insomnia severity, worry, rumination, and psychiatric symptoms. The mediational roles of worry and rumination were tested with mediation analysis using the PROCESS Macro. Results: It was found that insomnia severity (β = 0.20, p <.001) significantly predicted psychiatric symptoms directly and via worry and rumination (β = 0.33, p <.001), meaning that worry and rumination partially mediated the relationship between insomnia severity and psychiatric symptoms. The findings were similar after controlling for smoking status, daily screen time, coffee consumption in the evening, weekly exercise frequency, and pre-sleep screen time. Conclusions: Interventions targeting the reduction of insomnia severity and maladaptive emotion regulation strategies (e.g., worry and rumination), as well as the enhancement of adaptive emotion regulation strategies (e.g., positive refocusing and mindfulness), may alleviate the adverse effects of insomnia on psychiatric symptoms. © 2024 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.Article Citation Count: 2The Roles of Intrusive Visual Imagery and Verbal Thoughts in Pre-Sleep Arousal of Patients with Insomnia Disorder: A Path Model(Springer/plenum Publishers, 2023) Turkarslan, Kutlu Kagan; Cinarbas, Deniz Canel; Perogamvros, Lampros; Department of PsychologyPurpose Researchers have proposed that multiple factors such as hyperarousal, conditioning, worrying, or cortical arousal play roles in the predisposition to, initiation, and perpetuation of insomnia disorder. Previously, only a few studies investigated the differential effects of intrusive visual imagery (IVI) and intrusive verbal thoughts (IVT) on pre-sleep arousal or insomnia severity. The aim of the current cross-sectional study was to examine these effects as well as the moderator role of visual imagery ability (VIA) on the relationship between IVI and pre-sleep arousal.Methods A path model comprising the variables of IVI, IVT, pre-sleep arousal, and insomnia severity was tested with 166 of 1444 participants (M-age = 25.5, SD = 5.26) who were identified as having insomnia disorder based on a 12-question form corresponding to DSM-5 criteria for insomnia disorder and Insomnia Severity Index scores (>= 8). The moderator role of VIA on the relationship between IVI and pre-sleep arousal was evaluated with a moderation analysis.Results It was found that IVI (beta = 0.44, p < .001), but not IVT (beta = 0.15, p = .12), significantly predicted pre-sleep arousal and pre-sleep arousal (beta = 0.44, p < .001) significantly predicted insomnia severity. In addition, the indirect effect of IVI via pre-sleep arousal (IE = 0.19, p < .001) on insomnia severity was significant. Finally, the moderator role of VIA on the relationship between IVI and pre-sleep arousal (p = .07) was not significant.Conclusions IVI may play a more important role in insomnia disorder than IVT. Interventions targeting pre-sleep visual imagery can help poor sleepers alleviate insomnia severity.Article Citation Count: 1The psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the Pre-sleep Arousal Scale(Springer Japan Kk, 2024) Turkarslan, Kutlu Kagan; Canel cinarbas, Deniz; Nicassio, Perry M.; Department of PsychologyPurposeThe aim of the present study was to examine the psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the Pre-sleep Arousal Scale (PSAS), which measures pre-sleep arousal, a significant predictor of insomnia symptoms.Methods651 participants were recruited via social media and the Internet. Confirmatory factor analysis was conducted in the total sample (65.28% females; M-age1 = 28.09 & PLUSMN; 14.00). Convergent, divergent, incremental, and known-groups validity and internal consistency coefficients were assessed in a subsample of 556 participants (62.77% females; M-age2 = 29.25 & PLUSMN; 14.81). A second separate sample of 88 participants (80.68% females; M-age3 = 22.19 & PLUSMN; 4.98) was used to evaluate three-week test-retest reliability.ResultsThe results of factor analysis confirmed the two-factor structure of the Turkish PSAS with cognitive (PSAS-C) and somatic (PSAS-S), similar to the original scale. The correlations of the PSAS with convergent and divergent measures showed that the Turkish form had good convergent and acceptable divergent validity. PSAS-C and PSAS-S were able to explain an 18% additional variance in insomnia severity beyond depression and anxiety, an 18% additional variance in depression beyond insomnia severity, and a 35% additional variance in anxiety beyond insomnia severity. Moreover, insomnia patients had significantly higher PSAS-C and PSAS-S scores than good sleepers. Finally, the PSAS, PSAS-C, and PSAS-S had satisfactory internal consistency coefficients (& alpha; = 0.92, 0.91, and 0.86, respectively) and three-week test-retest correlations (ICC = 0.82, 0.82, and 0.71, respectively).ConclusionThe Turkish form of the PSAS was a valid and reliable measure of pre-sleep arousal and can be utilized in sleep studies.Article Citation Count: 1Psychometric properties of the Hogg Eco-Anxiety Scale (HEAS-13) and the prediction of pro-environmental behavior(Academic Press Ltd- Elsevier Science Ltd, 2023) Turkarslan, Kutlu Kagan; Kozak, Ekin Doga; Yildirim, Juelide Ceren; Department of PsychologyObjectives: Eco-anxiety, a novel conceptualization of anxiety in relation to ecological problems, has become a significant subject of interest in psychology. The Hogg Eco-Anxiety Scale (HEAS-13) is a recently developed, valid, and reliable measure of eco-anxiety. The present study aimed to investigate the psychometric properties of the HEAS-13 in Turkish-speaking samples. Methods: 605 individuals, recruited via social media and the internet, participated in the study. The sample was randomly split in half (first sample, 69.00% and second sample, 70.90% females), and exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were conducted on separate samples. The concurrent and incremental validities were evaluated in the total sample. The three-week test-retest reliability of the HEAS-13 was assessed in a third separate sample (83.13% females). Results: Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses found and validated a four-factor structure with 13 items. The associations of HEAS-13 with concurrent measures indicated that the scale had good concurrent validity. The anxiety and behavioral symptoms subscales of the HEAS-13 explained the additional variance (6.60%) in proenvironmental behavior beyond activist identity and commitment. Finally, the HEAS-13 and its subscales had good internal consistency coefficients, ranging from 0.82 to 0.93. and mediocre three-week intra-class correlations, ranging from 0.47 to 0.56. Conclusion: The Turkish HEAS-13 was a valid and reliable measure of eco-anxiety that can be used to assess anxiety about ecological problems. Moreover, optimizing levels of anxiety symptoms, alleviating behavioral symptoms, and enhancing individuals' activist identity and commitment may be targets for interventions aiming to increase pro-environmental behaviors.
