Yayın Perceived self-society moral discrepancies predict depression but not anxiety(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2015-12) Peker, Müjde; Gündoğdu, Nurdan; Booth, Robert WilliamDiscrepancies between one's own beliefs, standards and practices and the standards expected by others are associated with increased vulnerability to depression and anxiety. Perhaps the most important personal standard is morality, one's standard of acceptable behaviour. We therefore reason that perceived discrepancies between one's own moral standards and those of society predict anxious and depressed moods. We tested this hypothesis, for the first time, in a sample of 99 female Turkish students. Moral discrepancies were assessed using an adapted moral foundations scale: participants were asked how much payment they would require to perform a series of potentially immoral acts, and how much payment they thought the average person in society would require. Participants also completed standard questionnaire measures of depression and trait anxiety. Results show that perceived self-society moral discrepancies were significantly related to depression scores, but not to anxiety scores. Furthermore, only discrepancies related to the moral dimensions of respect for ingroups and avoiding harm were related to depression. We argue that perceiving a discrepancy between one's own standards of behaviour and those of society can increase vulnerability to depression, much as other kinds of self-other discrepancies can; however, the specific moral standards which predict depression may vary with culture and the characteristics of the sample.Yayın Being tolerated and being discriminated against: Links to psychological well-being through threatened social identity needs(Wiley, 2020-12) Bağcı Hemşinlioğlu, Sabahat Çiğdem; Verkuyten, Maykel; Koç, Yasin; Türnüklü, Abbas; Piyale, Zeynep Ecem; Bekmezci, EyüpWe investigated whether and how the experience of being tolerated and of being discriminated against are associated with psychological well-being in three correlational studies among three stigmatized groups in Turkey (LGBTI group members, people with disabilities, and ethnic Kurds, totalN = 862). Perceived threat to social identity needs (esteem, meaning, belonging, efficacy, and continuity) was examined as a mediator in these associations. Structural equation models showed evidence for the detrimental role of both toleration and discrimination experiences on positive and negative psychological well-being through higher levels of threatened social identity needs. A mini-meta analysis showed small to moderate effect sizes and toleration was associated with lower positive well-being through threatened needs among all three stigmatized groups.Yayın Beyond a paycheck: the influence of workforce participation on women’s cancer screening in Turkey(Springer/Plenum Publishers, 2016-12-01) Şen, Celia K Naivar; Lemi, Baruh; Kumkale, Gökçe TarcanThe present study investigates the influence of workforce participation on women’s cancer screening behaviors in Turkey. In cultures with predominantly Muslim populations like Turkey, emphasis is typically placed on a woman’s traditional role as a child bearer. Although the impact of workforce participation on women’s welfare has been studied in various contexts, the relationship between workforce participation and health protective behavior has received scant attention. Using quantitative data from a survey of women aged 40 and above from 33 urban cities in Turkey (N = 483), we examine the influence of workforce participation on breast and cervical cancer screening behaviors. Homemakers were less likely than working/retired women to be up-to-date on screenings. Women with lower income and education screened less; however, workforce participation seemed to have a positive effect on screening among these women. Additionally, working/retired women and homemakers differed from each other in terms of their perceptions regarding their risk of developing cancer (perceived susceptibility). In addition, both perceived susceptibility and women's perceptions regarding their ability to get cancer screening (self-efficacy) were significant predictors of intention to engage in screening in future. In Turkey, homemakers are in a vulnerable position due to lower rates of cancer screening. Furthermore, targeting homemakers for interventions may be easier than trying to identify other low screening groups of women such as those with lower education or income. Interventions raising perceptions of susceptibility to cancer, possibly by targeting neighborhoods during working hours, could be useful in increasing screening rates at risk women.Yayın Ethnic identification, discrimination, and mental and physical health among Syrian refugees: The moderating role of identity needs(Wiley, 2017-12) Çelebi, Elif; Verkuyten, Maykel; Bağcı Hemşinlioğlu, Sabahat ÇiğdemUsing a risk and resilience framework and motivated identity construction theory, we investigated the moderating role of identity needs in the association between social identification and perceived discrimination with mental and physical health among a sample of Syrian refugees (N = 361) in Turkey. Results showed that there were two clusters of interrelated identity needs, namely, belonging (belonging, continuity, and esteem) and efficacy (efficacy, meaningfulness, and distinctiveness). Higher perceived ethnic discrimination was found to be associated with poorer mental and physical health but not for respondents who derived a sense of efficacy from their Syrian identity. Higher Syrian identification was associated with lower depression and anxiety but more strongly for refugees who derived a sense of belonging and continuity from their Syrian identity. The findings indicate that investigating the motivational aspects of identity formation is important for understanding when discrimination and group identification undermine or rather contribute to the well-being and health of refugees. These findings are discussed in relation to the growing research on social identities and health.Yayın No andropause for gay men? The body, aging and sexuality in Turkey(Routledge, 2018-10-03) Erol Jamieson, Maral; Özbay, CenkThis article aims to contribute to the ongoing scholarly debate about the implications of andropause in the Gender Studies literature by decentring and complicating it further using the case of Turkish gay men. Aging gay men in Turkey struggle to remain young, healthy and cool' as they use their wittiness and emotional maturity towards younger men. All of these happen at the intersection of masculinity politics and homophobia within Turkish society and the profound ageism within the global gay culture. Our questions are shaped around andropause and its absence as gay men reject and disidentify with it: Is andropause a heteronormative concept? Through the active rejection of the external outcomes of aging and andropause, mid-life Turkish gay men present an idiosyncratic vantage point to explicate the relatively understudied intersection of masculinity, homosexuality and aging in the non-western contexts. Through interviews we contend that, unlike their heterosexual equivalents, mid-life gay men do not accept andropause, but instead they develop tactics to consolidate their socially capable, self-assured and well-integrated subjectivity within the fringes of the global gay culture. Looking closer at aging gay men and their multifactorial strategies provides us the chance to grasp the ubiquitous heteronormativity inscribed in the narratives of andropause.Yayın Emotion dysregulation as a mediator between parental emotional availability and game addiction among Turkish late adolescents(Routledge, 2025-02) Ülkümen, İpek; Aktan, Zekeriya DenizThis study aimed to examine how difficulty in emotion regulation mediates the relationship between parental emotional availability and game addiction among Turkish late adolescents. 537 adolescents completed the Lum Emotional Availability of Parents, the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale, Internet Gaming Disorder Short Form, and Sociodemographic Characteristics and Data Form. The results show that difficulty in emotion regulation fully mediates between parental emotional availability scores and adolescents’ game addiction scores. It can be concluded that interventions for the prevention and treatment of game addiction in late adolescents should focus on improving the parents’ emotional support and adolescents’ emotion regulation skills.Yayın Healing through art: a systematic review and meta-analysis of art therapy in children and adolescents with chronic illnesses(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2025-11) Yıldız, Ecemnur; Akçinar, Berna; İnci Namlı, NurChildren and adolescents with chronic illnesses face elevated risks of psychological difficulties, including anxiety and reduced quality of life (QoL). Art therapy (AT) has emerged as a promising intervention. This study systematically reviews and analyzes the effectiveness of AT in improving QoL, anxiety, and pain in this population. A comprehensive search identified a total of 12 randomized controlled trials from 2000 to 2024, including 408 participants aged 0–18. Data were analyzed using Hedges’ g and a random-effects model. Quality assessments followed the Cochrane Risk of Bias 2 (RoB2) tool. Subgroup analyses explored potential moderators. QoL was analyzed separately by child and parent reports. AT showed a moderate, significant effect on child-reported QoL (Hedges’ g =.40, 95% CI [0.27; 0.53], p =.001) but a non-significant effect in parent reports (Hedges’ g =.43, 95% CI [−.03; 1.20], p =.21). A significant large effect was found for pain reduction (Hedges’ g = –.63, 95% CI [−1.19; −0.07], p =.03). For anxiety, AT had a large but non-significant effect (Hedges’ g = –.71, 95% CI [−2.24; 0.82], p =.23). Heterogeneity was substantial, but no significant publication bias was detected. AT appears promising for enhancing QoL, reducing pain in children with chronic illnesses. Further studies are needed to strengthen evidence and clarify clinical applications.Yayın Safety and health concerns with lithium-ion batteries(Flogen Star OUTREACH, 2015-12-23) Gül, AyşenurThe lithium ion batteries consist of positive (inorganic lithium-intercalating compound and negative (lithium-intercalating carbon) electrodes and have an organic liquid electrolyte (a lithium salt in an organic liquid). They store lots of energy in a small and light package. Lithium-ion batteries are widely used in cordless communication technologies and equipment such as laptops, cell phones, and other mobile devices. Despite lithium ion batteries are produced with the high safety standards, plenty of incidents have been reported because of fire and explosion of lithium ion batteries in electronic devices or large vehicles and facilities. Therefore, lithium-ion batteries are optimized to store and release energy with respect to environmental, health, and safety issues. This work summarizes potential hazards and safety recommendations for their commercialization.
