Conference Object Citation - WoS: 0Election Posters in Turkey: a Visual Communication Application(Singapore Management & Sports Science inst Pte Ltd, 2013) Toros, Secil; Department of PsychologyVisual designs of posters are as important as their content. For that reason posters should be designed according to the graphic design principles in order to succeed in their political communication. Based on this proposition, this study analyses the election posters used by three major political parties in Turkey with a special focus on their use of graphic design principles. The evaluation scores showed that, the Justice and Development Party, AKP is the most successful party in employing the graphic design principles in their posters which is followed by the People's Republican Party, CHP and Nationalist Action Party MHP.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 0Short Term Pragmatism or Long Term Ideologies: Identifying the Motivations of Voting Behaviour in Turkey With Sem(Singapore Management & Sports Science inst Pte Ltd, 2013) Toros, Emre; Department of PsychologyThe main objective of this essay is to identify the motivations of voting behavior in Turkey as a function of long-term ideological and short-term pragmatic concerns. The following analysis reveals the fact the importance of these factors differ significantly for the Turkish voter and hence for the competing political parties. More specifically, where the AKP voters prioritize short term pragmatist evaluations, CHP and MHP voters utilize long term ideological assessments.Review Citation - WoS: 0Uykusuzluk Bozukluğunun Psikolojik Modelleri: Güncel Bir Derleme(Galenos Publ House, 2024) Türkarslan, Kutlu Kağan; Çınarbaş, Deniz Canel; Department of PsychologyUykusuzluk bozukluğu kişisel ve toplumsal maliyetler yaratan; başlıca uykuya dalmada zorlanma, uykuyu sürdürmede güçlük ve sabah planlanandan daha erken saatlerde uyanma belirtileri ile karakterize olan psikiyatrik bir rahatsızlıktır. Toplumun yaklaşık %10’unun uykusuzluk bozukluğuna sahip olduğu düşünülmektedir. Çalışmalar uykusuzluk bozukluğuna sahip olmanın genel hayat kalitesini düşürdüğünü, günlük işlevselliği azalttığını, bazı psikomotor ve bilişsel becerilerde bozulmalara sebep olduğunu, iş performansını düşürdüğünü, iş yerinde daha fazla devamsızlık yapmaya sebep olduğunu ve uykusuzluk bozukluğu dışındaki rahatsızlıklar için artan tedavi maliyetleri ortaya çıkardığını göstermektedir. Tüm bunlara ek olarak uykusuzluğun pek çok farklı psikiyatrik rahatsızlık için bir risk etmeni olduğu bilinmektedir. Son 50 yılda yapılan çalışmalar uykusuzluk bozukluğunu psikolojik açıdan açıklayan çeşitli modellerin ortaya çıkmasına sebep olmuştur. Bu psikolojik modellerden başlıcaları; “uyaran kontrolü modeli”, “Spielman modeli”, “mikroanalitik model”, “nörobilişsel model”, “tehdit algısının yüksek risk modeli”, “uykuya müdahale eden-uykuyu yorumlayan süreçler modeli”, “psikobiyolojik baskılama modeli”, “bilişsel model”, “evrimselduygusal model” ve “korku simülasyonu modeli”dir. Bu derleme makalesinin amacı uykusuzluk bozukluğunun psikolojik modellerinin temel sayıltılarından bahsederek modellerin güncel bir tablosunu sunmaktır.Publication Citation - WoS: 0Citation - Scopus: 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 - WoS: 0Citation - Scopus: 0Partner Phubbing and Sleep Quality: Serial Mediation Models With Relationship Satisfaction and Perceived Stress(Sage Publications inc, 2024) Dikdere, Busra; Turkarslan, Kutlu Kagan; Department of PsychologyThe increasing integration of technology into our lives has been affecting our daily routines and even our sleeps. Being a relatively new concept, phubbing refers to the act of overly engaging with one's phone while dismissing those around in the social settings. In this context, partner phubbing involves individuals exhibiting this neglect in the presence of their romantic partners. Evidence suggests that higher partner phubbing may lead to lower relationship satisfaction and higher perceived stress. The aim of the present cross-sectional study was to examine whether relationship satisfaction and perceived stress mediate the relationship between partner phubbing and sleep quality. Four hundred twenty-three individuals (females = 78.5%, M-age = 29.19, SD = 6.87) participated in the study and completed the measures of partner phubbing, relationship satisfaction, perceived stress, and sleep quality. The results of the serial mediation analyses showed that partner phubbing was not a direct predictor of sleep quality. However, the relationship between partner phubbing and sleep quality was mediated by the four indirect paths through relationship satisfaction (beta = 0.04, p < .05), perceived stress (beta = 0.09, p < .05), relationship satisfaction-perceived stress (beta = 0.02, p < .05), and perceived stress-relationship satisfaction (beta = 0.00, p < .05). The findings suggest that partner phubbing may diminish sleep quality by reducing relationship satisfaction and increasing perceived stress levels. Alternatively, perceived stress exacerbated by partner phubbing could reduce relationship satisfaction, which eventually worsens sleep quality. Digital detox programs, group interventions, emotion-focused couple interventions, and stress management training can help overcome the effects of partner phubbing on sleep quality.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Envious 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 - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Transference 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.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2The 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 - Scopus: 1Insomnia Severity Predicts Psychiatric Symptoms: a Cross-Sectional Study Investigating the Partial Mediations of Worry and Rumination(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2024) Turkarslan, Kutlu Kagan; Cinarbas, Deniz Canel; 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%, M-age=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 (beta=0.20, p<.001) significantly predicted psychiatric symptoms directly and via worry and rumination (beta=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.
