Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3The Role of Honor Concerns in Disclosing (vs. Hiding) COVID-19 Diagnosis: Insights from Turkiye(Springer/plenum Publishers, 2023) Ceylan-Batur, Suzan; Dogulu, Canay; Akbas, Gulcin; Yet, Barbaros; Uskul, Ayse K. K.Members of honor cultures value engaging in moral behaviors and managing their social image to maintain their honor. These two goals reflect reputation and integrity concerns, which also have bearing on gender roles. In the current study, we examined a) evaluations of women and men described as diagnosed with COVID-19 and as either hiding or disclosing their diagnosis, b) the moderating role of honor concerns (reputation and integrity) and the gender of the infected person in these evaluations, and c) the relationship between honor concerns and individuals' own disclosure preferences among participants living in Turkiye, a country that exemplifies an honor culture. Findings revealed that participants with stronger reputation concerns evaluated a woman's hiding behavior more favorably than that of a man's. Moreover, higher integrity concerns were associated with lower levels of participants' own preference to hide a diagnosis for both men and women, whereas reputation concerns were positively associated with a preference for hiding a diagnosis among men only. Furthermore, a content analysis of participants' open-ended explanations of their views on women's and men's motivation to hide a diagnosis revealed further evidence for the gendered nature of reputation concerns. Our findings point to the importance of prioritizing integrity concerns (and downplaying reputation concerns) in public health campaigns in honor cultures.Article Citation - WoS: 12Citation - Scopus: 13Gender Differences in Turkish Undergraduate Students' Values(Springer/plenum Publishers, 2012) Dirilen-Gumus, Ozlem; Buyuksahin-Sunal, AydaThe objectives of the present study were to explore gender differences in Turkish students' values. A total of 231 (125 female, 106 male) undergraduate students from various universities in Ankara (the capital city of Turkey) participated in the study. They were given the Portrait Values Questionnaire along items related to demography. It is predicted that firstly, females would have higher scores on universalism, benevolence and security than males; secondly, males would have higher score on power than females. The results showed that females reported higher levels of hedonism, universalism, benevolence and security than males. The findings were discussed in the light of the relevant literature. The present study can be considered as a contribution to the existing literature on gender-based differences on value priorities by examining a rarely investigated culture-that is, Turkish.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 3The 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, LamprosPurpose 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 - WoS: 68Citation - Scopus: 76Why Do Women Endorse Honor Beliefs? Ambivalent Sexism and Religiosity as Predictors(Springer/plenum Publishers, 2016) Glick, Peter; Sakalli-Ugurlu, Nuray; Akbas, Gulcin; Orta, Irem Metin; Ceylan, SuzanCultures of honor, such as Turkey, prioritize defending individual and family reputations, but in gender-specific ways (Nisbett and Cohen 1996). Men maintain honor via reputations for toughness, aggression, control over women, and avenging insults. Women maintain honor through obedience to men, sexual modesty, and religious piety. Honor beliefs support women's subordination, justifying violence against them (Sev'er and Yurdakul, Violence against Women, 7, 964-998, 2001) and therefore should be challenged. Understanding honor beliefs' ideological correlates may inform such efforts. We hypothesized that benevolent sexism, a subjectively favorable system-justifying ideology, would more strongly, positively predict Turkish women's (versus men's) honor beliefs; whereas hostile sexism, which is openly antagonistic toward women, would more strongly, positively predict Turkish men's (versus women's) honor beliefs. Additionally, due to justifications for gender inequality embedded in Islamic religious teachings, we expected Islamic religiosity to positively predict honor beliefs for both genders. A convenience sample of Turkish undergraduates (313 women and 122 men) in Ankara completed the Ambivalent Sexism Inventory, Religious Orientation Scale, and Honor Endorsement Index. Regression analyses revealed that benevolent (but not hostile) sexism positively predicted women's honor beliefs, whereas hostile (but not benevolent) sexism positively predicted men's honor beliefs. Islamic religiosity positively predicted honor beliefs for both genders, but (unexpectedly) did so more strongly for men than women. We suggest that combating benevolent sexism and promoting feminist interpretations of Islamic religiosity may help to empower Turkish women to challenge honor beliefs.Publication The 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[No Abstract Available]
