Sonuçların kuramsal ve yöntemsel uygulamaları tartışılmıştırBook Part Career Counseling for International Students: Using the Framework of Social Cognitive Career Theory - 2018 (chapter 14)(IGI Global, 2018) Bulgan, Gökçe; Çiftçi, AyşeInternational students are a group with diverse career needs and concerns. The challenges international students face (e.g., psychological and sociocultural adjustment issues, language barriers, sense of loss, financial problems, getting used to a new educational system) when they come to study in the United States, as well as their expectations of coming to a new country, may significantly influence their career needs and decision-making processes. In this chapter, the authors suggest social cognitive career theory (SCCT) as a framework for working with the undergraduate and graduate international student population by emphasizing intervention strategies and making specific recommendations.Article Citation - Scopus: 3Children’s Perceptions of Tests: a Content Analysis(Sicklerville: RU Publications, 2018) Bulgan, GökçeAnxiety that students experience during test taking negatively influences their academic achievement. Understanding how students perceive tests and how they feel during test taking could help in taking effective preventive measures. Hence, the current study focused on assessing children’s perceptions of tests using content analysis. The sample consisted of 1143 participants (566 females and 570 males) attending 3rd (n = 320), 4th (n = 420), 5th (n = 197), and 6th (n = 206) grade classes in three public schools in Istanbul, Turkey. The findings indicated that three main domains emerged from the data. The domains and the categories under each domain were as follows: evaluation (grades, success vs. failure, learning and development, and intelligence), emotions (excitement, fear and anxiety, happiness, curiosity, mixed feelings, and disappointment), and experiential process (answering questions, studying, difficulty, thinking, having fun, cheating vs. honesty, and silence). Understanding students’ experiences with testing early on in their education will give researchers and practitioners the chance to plan effective applications for treatment and prevention, which would influence students’ future achievement and experiences. The study findings could also help teachers and school counselors plan more effective teaching and counseling programs that take into account students’ anxiety levels during tests.Article Citation - Scopus: 9Çocuklarda Sınav Kaygısı Ölçeği'nin Türkçe Uyarlaması(İlköğretim Online, 2017) Bulgan, Gökçe; Aydın, UtkunThe purpose of this study was to adapt the “Children’s Test Anxiet Scale (CTAS)” developed by Wren and Benson (2004) into Turkish. The original scale was in English and comprised of three factors including 30 items. Seven experts were involved in the adaptation process to translate the scale into Turkish and then back to English for providing evidence based on the consistency between the two forms. Following the translation process, a pilot study was conducted and the scale was given its final form. The Turkish form was administered to 1100 students who were attending to 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th grade classes in 3 public schools. Findings regarding the construct validity of the scale, which were obtained from the confirmatory analysis, supported the three-factor structure of the original scale. Subdimensions of the scale were Thoughts, Off-Task Behaviors, and Autonomic Reactions. Cronbach Alpha coefficients for the overall scale (???= .88) as well as the subdimensions of Thoughts (???= .82), Off-Task Behaviors (???= .72), and Autonomic Reactions (???= .75) were substantial in size. Regarding the discriminant validity analyses, there were no significant gender differences in students’ test anxiety while there were significant grade level differences. These results demonstrated that the Turkish version of the scale is a valid and reliable instrument, which may serve as useful in measuring elementary school students’ test anxiety levels. Directions for future research and practical implications for educational practice are discussed in terms of mathematics education.Conference Object Elementary and Middle School Students’ Perceptions of Tests(World Institute for Advanced Research and Science, 2017) Bulgan, GökçeTests continue to have a large place in the educational system. Particularly in the Turkish educational system, students have to take national exams that identify their subsequent schooling and future job opportunities. Test anxiety, which is often experienced by students during test taking, is strongly related to students’ academic achievement (Crişan & Copaci, 2015; McDonald, 2001; Owens, Stevenson, Hadwin, & Norgate, 2012). Even though there has been a large body of international research on test anxiety (Bodas & Ollendick, 2005; Lowe & Ang, 2012) studies on this area in the Turkish literature has been limited mostly to high school and university student samples. Considering Turkish students’ low achievement in mathematics and science fields in international tests (Eğitim Reformu Girişimi, 2014), it is important to focus on understanding how students perceive tests and how they feel during test taking in order to take effective preventive measures. Therefore, the current study is focused on assessing children’s perceptions of tests through content analysis. The sample is consisted of 1143 participants (566 girls and 570 boys) attending 3rd (n = 320), 4th (n = 420), 5th (n = 197), and 6th (n = 206) grade classes in three public schools in Istanbul, Turkey. A brief demographic information form and two open-ended questions were administered to participants at the beginning of a class period. It took approximately 15-minutes for the students to complete the questions. Findings indicated that three main domains emerged from the data. The domains and the categories under each domain were as follows: evaluation (grades, success, learning and development, and intelligence), emotions (excitement, fear and anxiety, happiness, curiosity, mixed feelings, and disappointment), and experiential process (answering questions, studying, difficulty, thinking, having fun, cheating, and silence). Understanding students’ perceptions of and experiences in tests and testing early on in their studies will give researchers and practitioners the chance to plan effective applications for treatment and prevention, which would influence students’ future achievement and experiences in testing. The study findings could also help teachers and mental health professionals working with elementary and middle school students plan for more effective teaching and counseling programs that take into account students’ anxiety levels during tests.Article Citation - WoS: 13Citation - Scopus: 15Emotional Dependency and Dysfunctional Relationship Beliefs as Predictors of Married Turkish Individuals’ Relationship Satisfaction(Cambridge University Press, 2016) Çetinkaya Yıldız, Evrim; Kemer, Gülşah; Bulgan, GökçeIn this study, we examined married individuals’ relationship satisfaction in relation to their emotional dependency and dysfunctional relationship beliefs. Our participants consisted of 203 female and 181 male, a total of 384 married individuals from urban cities of Turkey. Controlling the effects of gender and length of marriage, we performed a hierarchical regression analysis. Results revealed that married Turkish individuals’ relationship satisfaction was significantly explained by their emotional dependency (sr2 = .300, p < .001), and perceptions of interpersonal rejection (sr2 = .075, p < .001) and unrealistic relationship expectations (sr2 = .028, p < .001). However, interpersonal misperception did not make a significant contribution to the participants’ relationship satisfaction (p > .05). When compared to perceptions of interpersonal rejection and unrealistic relationship expectations, emotional dependency had the largest role in explaining participants’ satisfaction with their marriages. We discuss the results in light of current literature as well as cultural relevance. We also provide implications for future research and mental health practices.Conference Object Emotional Dependency and Dysfunctional Relationship Beliefs as Predictors of Relationship Satisfaction(International Association for Counselling, 2015) Çetinkaya Yıldız, Evrim; Kemer, Gülşah; Bulgan, GökçeFor many years now social scientist study the factors effecting relationship satisfaction in order to understand how some of the love relationships continue over the years while others cannot. As stated by many philosophers love is, one way or another, very close to mental illness. Undeniably, love theories/typologies accept at least one feature or mechanism that might be described as ‘psychopathological’ and characterized by obsession, irrational idealization, emotional instability or emotional dependency (Tallis, 2005). Remember mania (Lee, 1973), limerence (Tennov, 1979) and infatuation (Sternberg, 1986). Romantic relationships either dating or marriage satisfy our deepest affiliative needs and are also the source of our emotional dependency. Likewise, dysfunctional relationship beliefs (i.e., interpersonal rejection, unrealistic relationship expectation, and interpersonal misperception) are found to be positively correlated to dyadic adjustment and marital satisfaction (i.e., Stackert & Bursik, 2003; Sullivan and Schwebel, 1995) and also negatively correlated to marital distress (i.e., Addis & Bernard, 2002). Cognitive Theory postulates that the endorsement of certain irrational expectations about what makes relationships functional and healthy strongly affects an individual’s ability to adjust within a relationship. In the present study, we aimed at examining the role of emotional dependency and dysfunctional relationship beliefs in predicting married Turkish individuals’ relationship quality. Therefore, our overarching research question was, when gender and marriage duration is controlled, what are the roles of emotional dependency and interpersonal cognitive distortions, namely, interpersonal rejection, unrealistic relationship expectations, and interpersonal misperceptions, in predicting married Turkish individuals’ relationship quality? Participants of the present study were 203 female (%52.9) and 181 male (47.1) married Turkish individuals with an age range of 21 to 73 years (M = 35.98, SD = 8.00). The average length of marriage among the participants was 10.09 years (SD =8.24). Approximately %86 of the participants had college degrees whereas %14 reported graduate degrees. We used convenient sampling method to recruit the participants from urban cities of Turkey. In order to collect data a demographic information form, Relationship Assessment Scale, Emotional Dependency Scale, and Interpersonal Cognitive Distortions Scale were administered. The hierarchical regression analysis results revealed that, after controlling the effects of gender and length of marriage, multiple correlation coefficient between the linear combination of emotional dependency, interpersonal rejection, unrealistic relationship expectation, and interpersonal misperception, and relationship quality elevated to .64. Model 2 was also significant [F(4,373) = 60.79, p<.001, R2 = .407] and four predictors together accounted for 39% of the variance in relationship quality. In this model, emotional dependency uniquely explained a big part of the variance (30%) in relationship quality with a significant positive contribution [t(373) = 13.73, p < .001, ß = .56]. Interpersonal rejection, on the other hand, explained 7.5% of the variance and had a significant negative contribution to the relationship quality [t(373) = -.5.49, p > .001, ß = -.23]. Similarly, unrealistic relationship expectations accounted for 2.8% of the variance and was negatively associated to participants’ relationship quality [t(373) = -3.29, p = .001, ß = -.14]. Nevertheless, the contribution of the interpersonal misperception to the relationship quality was not significant [t(373) = 1.34, p > .05].The results will be discussed in the light of current literature as well as cultural relevance, and implications for future research and practice will be provided.Conference Object Emotional Dependency and Dysfunctional Relationship Beliefs as Predictors of Relationship Satisfaction (conferenceobject)(2015) Çetinkaya Yıldız, Evrim; Kemer, G; Bulgan, Gökçe...Conference Object Family Type, Duration of Marriage, and Personality Traits in Relation To Marital Satisfaction(International Association for Counselling, 2015) Bulgan, Gökçe; Kemer, Gülşah; Çetinkaya Yıldız, EvrimThe aim of the present study was to examine how marriage type, duration of marriage, and personality characteristics play a role in predicting married Turkish individuals’ marital satisfaction levels. The hypotheses are as follows: 1. Marriage type will significantly predict individuals’ marital satisfaction levels. More specifically, individuals from self-choice marriages will have significantly higher marital satisfaction levels than those from family-arranged marriages. 2. Duration of marriage will significantly predict individuals’ marital satisfaction levels. 3. Personality traits will significantly predict individuals’ marital satisfaction levels. While extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, and openness will be significantly and positively related to marital satisfaction, neuroticism will be significantly but negatively related. Participants were 288 (147 female and 141 male) married Turkish individuals living in urban cities in Turkey. In reaching the participants, convenience sampling method was utilized through word-of-mouth advertising. Participants’ demographic information was collected through a form that included questions regarding gender, age, education, number of children, duration of marriage, and marriage type (family-arranged vs. self-choice). In addition, the Big Five Inventory (John & Srivastava, 1999) was utilized to assess participants’ personality traits and the Marital Satisfaction Scale (Tezer, 1996) was used to assess the overall satisfaction of married individuals. Hierarchical regression analyses revealed significant results for the linear combination of marriage type and duration of marriage as well as personality traits in explaining individuals’ marital satisfaction levels. More specifically, duration of marriage, agreeableness, conscientiousness, and neuroticism were found to have individual significant contributions to Turkish individuals’ marital satisfaction levels.The current study relied on self-report measures, which comes with the risk that all reported data is based on participants’ perceptions. Not controlling social desirability, we acknowledge that participants’ reports may have involved under- or over-report of personality characteristics as well as marital satisfaction. Additionally, this study recruited a voluntary sample of participants from urban cities of Turkey. Results of this study have implications for mental health professionals working in the field of marriage and family counselling. In the multicultural world we live in, different cultures have different dynamics involved in marriage. Based on our findings, counsellors could take into consideration the clients’ intrapersonal factors especially their level of agreeableness, conscientiousness, and neuroticism in dealing with marital issues. In addition, our findings indicated a significant positive relationship between marital satisfaction and duration of marriage. Therefore, paying attention to the factors that have positively contributed to and brought the couple emotionally closer throughout their marriage while learning how the couple had dealt with the stressors in their earlier years of marriage could be helpful.Article Citation - WoS: 16Citation - Scopus: 21Gender Differences, Infidelity, Dyadic Trust, and Jealousy Among Married Turkish Individuals(Springer, 2016) Çetinkaya Yıldız, Evrim; Kemer, Gülşah; Bulgan, GökçeIn the present study, relationships among gender,emotional response to partner’s imagined infidelity (emotionaland sexual infidelity), and dyadic trust (low and high levels oftrust) were investigated as functions of married Turkish individuals’jealousy types (cognitive, emotional, and behavioral).Five hundred thirty seven (276 women and 261 men) marriedindividuals living in urban areas in Turkey participated in thestudy. Results of the Multivariate Analysis of Variance(MANOVA) revealed significant main effects for gender, infidelitytypes, and dyadic trust. Particularly, married Turkish men in this study were found to be more emotionally jealousthan women. Participants who responded to sexual infidelityas more upsetting had higher levels of emotional jealousywhen compared to the participants who found emotional infidelitymore upsetting. Moreover, participants with low dyadictrust for their partners were found to be high in their cognitivejealousy and behavioral jealousy reactions. Results arediscussed in details with implications for future research andsuggestions for mental health practitioners.Conference Object Conference Object Increasing Mental Health Professionals’ Self-Esteem Through Mindfulness and Happiness(2017) Bulgan, GökçeAim: The mental health field requires practitioners to be psychologically resourceful in orderto carry out their roles and responsibilities. Similarly, individuals’ self-esteem levels influencehow resourceful they view themselves to be. Therefore, increasing mental healthprofessionals’ self-esteem would positively influence their work with their clients. The aim ofthis study was to examine the role of mindfulness and happiness in predicting mental healthprofessionals’ self-esteem. Methods: Data were collected from 146 counselors and 154psychologists, a total of 300 mental health professionals. Two hundred and thirteen of theparticipants were female and 87 were male. Turkish versions of the Mindful AwarenessAttention Scale (Brown & Ryan, 2003; Özyeşil, Arslan, Kesici, & Deniz, 2011), theSubjective Happiness Scale (Doğan & Totan, 2013; Lyubomirsky & Lepper, 1999), and theTwo Dimensional Self-Esteem: Self-Liking and Self-Competence Scale (Doğan, 2011;Tafarodi & Swan, 2001) were used to collect the data. The study was correlational. Pearsoncorrelation coefficients and multiple regression analysis were used to analyze the data.Results: The results indicated that there were significant positive correlations between mentalhealth professionals’ mindfulness and self-esteem scores (r = .42; p <.01) and their happinessand selfesteem scores (r = .47; p <.01). Results of multiple regression analyses indicated thatmindfulness and happiness accounted for 31.5% of variance in mental health professionals’self-esteem scores. In addition, mindfulness (ß = .33, p <.001) and happiness (ß = .39, p<.001) both uniquely contributed to self-esteem. Discussion: Considering that mindfulnessand happiness had a significant unique contribution to self-esteem, teaching simple yeteffective mindfulness based interventions to mental health professionals and strategies toincrease their happiness levels could be useful in increasing their self-esteem. As mentalhealth professionals feel more satisfied about their esteem needs, they would be moreeffective in their work with their clients.Article Marital Satisfaction of Turkish Individuals: the Role of Marriage Type, Duration of Marriage, and Personality Traits(2018) Bulgan, Gökçe; Kemer, Gülşah; Çetinkaya Yıldız, EvrimThe aim of the present study was to investigate the role of marriage type (family-arranged versus self-choice), duration of marriage, and personality traits (i.e., agreeableness, conscientiousness, extraversion, openness, and neuroticism) in predicting married Turkish individuals’ marital satisfaction levels. Participants were 288 (147 female and 141 male) married Turkish individuals living in urban cities in Turkey. Hierarchical regression analyses revealed significant results for the linear combination of marriage type and duration of marriage as well as personality traits in explaining individuals’ marital satisfaction levels. More specifically, duration of marriage, agreeableness, conscientiousness, and neuroticism were found to have individual significant contributions to Turkish individuals’ marital satisfaction levels. Results were discussed by offering suggestions for future research and mental health professionals working with marriage and family issues.Book Mutluluk 2.0: İyi Yaşama Dair Bilmediklerimiz(Elma Yayınevi, 2017) Koydemir, Selda; Bulgan, GökçeMutluluk 2.0, mutluluğa dair fikirlerinizi tepe taklak edecek.
