Article Citation - WoS: 22Citation - Scopus: 25Perceptions of Dating Violence: Assessment and Antecedents(SAGE Publications, 2020) Toplu-Demirtaş, Ezgi; Fincham, Frank D.; Öztemür, GizemChallenging perceptions of violence is crucial to prevent dating violence (DV), because such perceptions intervene in the organization and interpretation of violent events. However, these perceptions have received limited attention. This likely reflects the lack of a psychometric tool to do so. The current study had two purposes: to develop a measure of perceptions of psychological, sexual, and physical DV, and to explore how vertical collectivism, through hostile sexism and violence myth acceptance, shapes perceptions of DV. A total of 491 college students (55.3% women; M = 20.76 years, SD = 1.77 years) completed measures of the vertical collectivism, hostile sexism, domestic violence myth acceptance, and perceptions of DV. The results of exploratory factor analyses revealed a 15-item single-factor measure of perceptions of DV as initial construct validity, which had satisfactory internal consistency. A gender difference emerged in perceptions of DV; college women perceived psychological, sexual, and physical DV as more serious compared with college men. Moreover, the association between vertical collectivism and perceptions of DV was serially mediated via hostile sexism and violence myth acceptance. The findings are discussed in terms of previous research and the need to address the role of vertical collectivism in sexism, myth acceptance, and perceptions of violence in prevention/intervention efforts to reduce vulnerability to DV perpetration and victimization. Several recommendations are outlined to facilitate future research.Review Citation - WoS: 16Citation - Scopus: 20Selecting Suicide Ideation Assessment Instruments: a Meta-Analytic Review(SAGE Publications, 2017) Duncan, Kelly; Atalay, Zümra; Erford, Bradley T.; Jackson, Jessica; Bardhoshi, GertaPsychometric meta-analyses and reviews were provided for four commonly used suicidal ideation instruments: the Beck Scale for Suicide Ideation, the Suicide Ideation Questionnaire, the Suicide Probability Scale, and Columbia–Suicide Severity Rating Scale.

Valentova, Jaroslava; A.C.Varella, Marco; A. Frederick, David; Kowal, Marta; Toplu-Demirtaş, EzgiPeople across the world and throughout history have gone to great lengths to enhance their physical appearance. Evolutionary psychologists and ethologists have largely attempted to explain this phenomenon via mating preferences and strategies. Here, we test one of the most popular evolutionary hypotheses for beauty-enhancing behaviors, drawn from mating market and parasite stress perspectives, in a large cross-cultural sample. We also test hypotheses drawn from other influential and non-mutually exclusive theoretical frameworks, from biosocial role theory to a cultural media perspective. Survey data from 93,158 human participants across 93 countries provide evidence that behaviors such as applying makeup or using other cosmetics, hair grooming, clothing style, caring for body hygiene, and exercising or following a specific diet for the specific purpose of improving ones physical attractiveness, are universal. Indeed, 99% of participants reported spending >10 min a day performing beauty-enhancing behaviors. The results largely support evolutionary hypotheses: more time was spent enhancing beauty by women (almost 4 h a day, on average) than by men (3.6 h a day), by the youngest participants (and contrary to predictions, also the oldest), by those with a relatively more severe history of infectious diseases, and by participants currently dating compared to those in established relationships. The strongest predictor of attractiveness-enhancing behaviors was social media usage. Other predictors, in order of effect size, included adhering to traditional gender roles, residing in countries with less gender equality, considering oneself as highly attractive or, conversely, highly unattractive, TV watching time, higher socioeconomic status, right-wing political beliefs, a lower level of education, and personal individualistic attitudes. This study provides novel insight into universal beauty-enhancing behaviors by unifying evolutionary theory with several other complementary perspectives.Article Citation - WoS: 16Citation - Scopus: 16Stay Motivated and Carry On: a Meta-Analytic Investigation of Motivational Regulation Strategies and Academic Achievement, Motivation, and Self-Regulation Correlates(Amer Psychological Assoc, 2024) Fong, Carlton J.; Altan, Servet; Gonzales, Cassandra; Kirmizi, Mehmet; Adelugba, Semilore F.; Kim, Yeo-eunMotivational regulation, or the way learners purposefully initiate, maintain, or supplement their willingness for task engagement and completion, has been an important area of research in educational psychology. However, despite the surge of research on this topic, it remains unclear how specific motivational regulation strategies relate to learners' academic performance, motivation, and other forms of self-regulation. Based on findings from 55 studies (67 unique samples), we found a range of positive correlations among 10 types and subtypes of motivational regulation strategies and the following variables: academic achievement (rs = .01-.15), motivation (effort, rs = .11-.52; value perceptions, rs = .21-.35; and competence beliefs, rs = .22-.40), and self-regulation (cognitive, rs = .28-.51; behavioral, rs = .10-.33). Moderator results indicated that the magnitudes of associations among motivational regulation strategies and achievement and self-regulation varied by grade level and geographic region. Intercorrelations among motivational regulation strategies indicated wide-ranging degrees of overlap across strategies. Using meta-analytic structural equation modeling, we explored how motivational regulation strategies indirectly related to achievement through motivational beliefs and how self-regulatory factors were precursors to motivational regulation. Our meta-analytic findings shed light upon which motivational regulation strategies might be most adaptive for academic achievement, motivation, and self-regulation, and identified for whom and under what circumstances specific strategies can be most adaptively used.Article Sınıf Öğretmenlerinin Kapsayıcı-bütünleyici Eğitime Yönelik Değerlendirmelerinin Sosyal Alan Teorisiyle İncelenmesi: Türkiye-almanya Karşılaştırması(Başkent Üniversitesi, 2020) Acar, MelikeBu araştırma, ‘Herkes için Eğitim’ isimli kapsayıcı-bütünleyici eğitime yönelik çok yönlü bir projenin bir parçasıdır. Araştırmanın amacı Almanya ve Türkiye’deki toplam 43 sınıf öğretmeninin kapsayıcılığa yönelik değerlendirmeleri ve gerekçelerinin Sosyal Alan Teorisi (Turiel, 1983) kullanılarak karşılaştırılmasıdır. Klinik görüşmeler esnasında öğretmenlerden Otizm Spektrumu içinde olan bir öğrencinin tipik gelişen öğrenciler tarafından dışlandığı (akademik proje ve oyun) iki değişik durumu değerlendirmeleri istenmiştir. Öğretmenler, özel gereksinimli öğrencinin akademik projeden dışlanmasını oyundan dışlanmasından daha olumsuz bir durum olarak değerlendirmişlerdir. Ancak, Türk öğretmenler Alman öğretmenlere kıyasla toplumsal-geleneksel kavramlarla değerlendirmelerini gerekçelendirmişlerdir. Ayrıca, Türk öğretmenler gerekçelerinde tipik öğrencilerin oyun zamanındaki seçim hakkı ve kişisel alanlarını dikkate almamışlardır. Bulgular kapsayıcı-bütünleyici eğitim felsefesi ve Sosyal Alan Teorisi çerçevesinden tartışılmıştır.Article Citation - Scopus: 1Brief Psychometric Analysis of the Self-Evaluation Scale–parent Report (ses–p)(SAGE Publications, 2017) Atalay, Zümra; Bardhoshi, Gerta; Sherman, Martin F.; Erford, Bradley T.The Self-Evaluation Scale–Parent Report (SES–P) assesses parents’ perceptions of the self-concept of their children aged 7 to 17 years. Internal aspects of validity indicated a marginal to adequate fit of the data to both the unidimensional and hypothesized 4-factor model. The SES–P had excellent convergent and discriminant validity.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.Conference Object Özel Okullar Birliği Kongresinde Davetli Konuşmacı ve Çalıştay Düzenleyicisi(2015) Atalay, Zümra...Conference Object Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 3The Importance of Rural, Township, and Urban Life in the Interaction Between Social and Emotional Learning and Social Behaviors(EDAM (Educational Consultancy and Research Center), 2014) Kıyar, Fatma; Totan, Tarık; Atalay, Zümra; Deniz, M. EnginWhether an individual lives in a rural or urban setting may have direct impact on a wide variety of psychological patterns adopted by students. In this study, the effects of positive and negative social behaviors on the relationship between social and emotional learning needs and skills gaps of students who reside in both rural and urban areas have been examined. The participants of this research consist of 348 female and 319 male students, forming a total of 667 middle school students living in the province of Çanakkale, Turkey as well as in its surrounding areas. The Matson Social Skills Evaluation Scale, the Social-emotional Learning Scale, the Social and Emotional Learning Skills Scale, and personal information form were used to collect data for this research. The Baron and Kenny’s approach and the Sobel test were followed during the examination of the model created in the data analysis process. The mediator test examined the effects of positive and negative social behaviors in relationship to students’ level of social and emotional learning needs and social and emotional learning skills. As a result of this test, it was found that both positive and negative social behaviors exert partial mediation effects over students living in rural and urban areas of the province of Turkey researched.Article Citation - WoS: 15Citation - Scopus: 19Untangling the Relationship Between Internalized Heterosexism and Psychological Intimate Partner Violence Perpetration: a Comparative Study of Lesbians and Bisexual Women in Turkey and Denmark(SAGE Publications, 2021) Jessen, Reidar Schei; Toplu-Demirtaş, Ezgi; Umak, EsraPsychological intimate partner violence (IPV) perpetration is not limited to heterosexual relationships and can affect all genders and sexual orientations, including lesbians and bisexual women (LB) both in Denmark and Turkey. Internalized heterosexism might be one of the factors increasing the risk of LB's use of psychological IPV perpetration. However, it is still unclear how being LB in Turkey and Denmark interact in the internalized heterosexism and psychological IPV perpetration relationship. The current study, therefore, presents an investigation of (a) the prevalence of sexual orientation (LB) and country (Denmark and Turkey) differences in perpetrating psychological IPV and (b) the moderating roles of sexual orientation and country on the association between internalized heterosexism and psychological IPV perpetration. A sample of 449 LB from Denmark and Turkey completed the Lesbian Internalized Homophobia Scale and the Multidimensional Measure of Emotional Abuse Scale. The results of chi-square analyses indicated that LB from Turkey and bisexual women from both countries reported significantly higher psychological IPV perpetration. The results of moderation analyses revealed that country had direct effects on the use of psychological IPV perpetration. No moderation effects were found for both sexual orientation and country in three of the four types of psychological IPV perpetration. These findings suggest that LB are not an exception to the perpetration of IPV. Furthermore, the findings were discussed from the perspectives of intersectionality and minority stress.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 6Aggression Begets Aggression: Psychological Dating Aggression Perpetration in Young Adults From the Perspective of Intergenerational Transmission of Violence(Springer, 2021) Toplu-Demirtaş, Ezgi; Hatipoğlu-Sümer, ZeynepThe aim of this study was threefold: (1) to evaluate the factorial validity of the Psychological Aggression (PA) subscale of the Conflict Tactics Scales–Adult Recall version (CTS2-CA), (2) to investigate the prevalence of and gender differences in psychological dating aggression perpetration (PDAP; restrictive engulfment, denigration, hostile withdrawal, and dominance/intimidation), and (3) to explore a proposed path from witnessing interparental psychological aggression perpetration to PDAP via acceptance of psychological aggression as a mediator and gender as a moderator of the mediation. For the first purpose, college students (N = 275) completed father to mother and mother to father forms of the PA subscale of the CTS2-CA. Exploratory factor analyses yielded a single-factor solution for the father to mother (55.86% of the variance) and mother to father (49.12% of the variance) forms. For the second and third purposes, a separate sample of 1015 dating college students (69.6% women) completed the Multidimensional Measure of Emotional Abuse and Abuse subscale of the Intimate Partner Violence Attitude Scale-Revised, along with the PA subscale of the CTS2-CA. Gender differences emerged in the prevalence of restrictive engulfment (85.8% for women and 80.3% for men) and hostile withdrawal (96.3% for women and 91.1% for men). Moderated-mediation analyses revealed that women college students who witnessed more mother to father psychological aggression perpetration tended to hold more accepting attitudes towards psychological aggression and, in turn, perpetrated more psychological aggression against their partners. Common assumptions that boys are more likely to imitate fathers, whereas girls are more likely to imitate mothers and women [but not men] commit verbal aggression may together explain our findings from the perspective of the intergenerational transmission of violence hypothesis. For future research, we suggest investigating the proposed model with the experience of psychological aggression from the parents to the child, which may provide further insights.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 6Feeling Guilt and Shame Upon Psychological Dating Violence Victimization in College Women : the Further Role of Sexism(SAGE Publications, 2022) Fincham, D. Frank; Demirtaş, Toplu Ezgi; Öztemür, Gizem; Oflaz, ÇiğdemDating violence is manifested in different forms between romantic partners. Psychological violence, the most common form of dating violence, is more likely to affect women, eliciting feelings such as shame and guilt. The robust relationship of sexism to psychological dating violence victimization (PDVV) is well-documented but whether PDVV serves as a mechanism linking sexism to guilt and shame remains unexplored. This study, therefore, investigated the potential mediating role of PDVV in the association between sexist attitudes and feelings of guilt and shame. Dating college women (N = 219) from Turkey, an honor culture in which one’s self-worth lies on one’s evaluation as well as the assessment of what others think, participated in the study. High rates of PDVV were found in this culture, and structural equation modeling revealed that PDVV mediated the relationship between sexism and feelings of guilt and shame. These findings are discussed in terms of their implications for future research and how sexist attitudes might be challenged to reduce the adverse emotional effects experienced by women who are victims of psychological dating violence.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 7The Influence of Internalized Heterosexism on Life Satisfaction: Comparing Sexual Minority Women in Belgium and Turkey(Springer, 2021) Toplu-Demirtaş, Ezgi; Moe, Jeffry; Ummak, Esra; Pope, Amber L.To date, the majority of research studying lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) health has been conducted in Westernized, predominantly individualistic countries. Building on minority stress theory and models of LGBTQ health, we explored how sexual orientation and nationality moderated the association between internalized heterosexism and life satisfaction for lesbian and bisexual (LB) women living in two countries (Turkey and Belgium) with contrasting social contexts. The results of two-way MANOVA, in a sample of 339 Turkish and 220 Belgian LB women, revealed main effects but no interaction effects. LB women in Belgium reported less internalized heterosexism and more life satisfaction than LB women in Turkey. The results of moderation analyses indicated no moderation effect, however internalized heterosexism and country emerged as the best predictors of life satisfaction. Findings were interpreted with a focus on how culture-specific aspects contribute to life satisfaction among LB women. Our findings suggest mental health professionals working with LB women need to tailor therapeutic interventions to reflect the social context connected to their patients’ nationality, in order to effectively address internalized heterosexism, improve life satisfaction, and promote self- and social advocacy. Cultural values, such as adherence to collectivistic or individualistic norms, should be included as variables in future research examining determinants of LGBTQ health.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 8Are the Paths To Victim-Blaming Paved With Hostile Sexism, Honor System Justification, and Fragile Masculinity? Evidence From Men in Turkey(Springer, 2023) Toplu-Demirtaş, Ezgi; Öztemur, GizemVictim-blaming is a source of deep concern for survivors of violence since it is linked to feelings of shame, guilt, and embarrassment, as well as less help-seeking behaviors, fear of being known by others, and fear of revenge by the perpetrator. In cases of intimate partner violence, cultural and individual factors such as sexism, honor system endorsement, and fragile masculinity beliefs all play a part in determining who is to blame. This study, therefore, aimed to examine the mechanisms relating hostile sexism to victim-blaming of men from an honor culture, where one's self-worth is dependent on the judgments of others, and men are assigned to safeguard the family's honor. In total, 252 men from Turkey participated in the study. Hostile sexism, supporting honor norms, and fragile masculinity beliefs of men predicted more victim-blaming in a male to female partner violence depicted through a date rape scenario. Supporting honor norms and fragile masculinity beliefs mediated the association between hostile sexism and victim-blaming. Findings suggested that questioning honor codes and masculine ideas may reduce victim-blaming. Implications of the findings for prevention efforts and future studies are highlighted.Conference Object Mutluluk ve İyi Oluşumuz için Kendimizle Nasıl Daha Sağlıklı Bir İlişki Kurabiliriz?(2016) Bulgan, Gökçe...Conference Object Article Citation - WoS: 12Citation - Scopus: 19Psychological Adaptation, Marital Satisfaction, and Academic Self-Efficacy of International Students(2017) Bulgan, Gökçe; Çiftçi, AyşeThe authors investigated marital satisfaction and academic self-efficacy in relation to psychological adaptation (i.e., psychological well-being, life satisfaction) in a sample of 198 married international students. Results of multiple regression analyses indicated that marital satisfaction and academic self-efficacy accounted for 45.9% of variance in psychological well-being and 25.8% of variance in life satisfaction scores. Based on the results, the differences between cognitive and emotion oriented processes during psychological adaptation were explained. The authors discuss implications for programs with international students and mental health professionals working in university campuses.
