Öğe The Adaptation of Romantic Relationship Perfectionism Scale into Turkish Culture(Kamla-Raj Enterprises, 2015) Ozteke, H. Irem; Buyukbayraktar, Cagla Girgin; Kesici, SahinIn current study, the researchers aimed to adapt Romantic Relationship Perfectionism Scale (RRPS) into Turkish. For reliability and validity of scale, four studies were conducted. Turkish and English forms of the Romantic Relationship Perfectionism Scale (RRPS) are administered over a two-week period and the translated version was accepted as equivalent to the original. Sample of the study consisted of university students in a romantic relationship more than 12 months. In analyzing data, confirmatory factor analysis was used and the model revealed acceptable fit indices. Item-total analyses and Cronbach alpha of scale revealed that the scale can be used in a Turkish sample. In criterion-related validity study, RRPS has significant correlations with Frost Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (FMPS), Dysfunctional Attitude Scale (DAS) and Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale. Lastly, reliability coefficient scores revealed acceptable results. As a result, validity and reliability studies show that the RRPS scale is acceptable for Turkish sample.Öğe The associations among smartphone addiction, general belongingness and happiness: A structural equation modelling(Klinik Psikiyatri Dergisi, 2019) Kozan, Hatice Irem Ozteke; Kayakli, Mehmet; Ak, Mehmet; Kesici, SahinObjective: The smartphone addiction has gained attention in recent years with the increase development in technology. People use smartphones for several purposes but this also result in pathological behavioral, emotional and cognitive problems. Aim of current study is to reveal the associations among smartphone addiction, general belongingness and happiness by using structural equation modelling. Method: Participants of study consists of 312 university students. In data collection process, Smartphone Addiction Inventory Short Form-, Oxford Happiness Scale and General Belongingness Scale were used. In data analysis correlation analysis and structural equation modelling were used to reveal the associations among smartphone addiction, general belongingness and happiness levels of participants. Results: Results of study revealed a negative significant correlation between smartphone addiction and hapiness levels of participants. Moreover a positive significant correlation was found between smartphone addiction and rejection -the dimension of general belongingness-, whereas no significant correlation was found smartphone addiction and acceptance -the dimension of general belongingness-. Happiness levels of participants were found to be positively and significantly correlated with acceptance and negatively correlated with rejection. Path analysis showed that general belongingness predicted smartphone addiction in a positive way. General belongingness also predicted happiness directly and smartphone addiction negatively predicted happiness. Discussion: In sum, smartphone addiction was significantly correlated with both happiness and general belongingness levels of participants. Moreover, a structural equation model among the smartphone addiction, general belongingness and happiness revealed an acceptable fit indexes. Lastly, findings were discussed and suggestions were given in line with the theorotical background and literature.Öğe Death anxiety among older adults with chronic illnesses during Covid-19: A qualitative approach(Wiley, 2023) Ozteke Kozan, Hatice Irem; Kesici, SahinIn the current study, we have investigated death anxiety during the Covid-19 pandemic among older people with chronic illnesses with qualitative approach. Eighteen older people (10 female, 8 male) participated in the study. Phenomenological research design was used. A semi-structured interview technique was used with interviews conducted online to collect the data. To analyse the data, both thematic and content analysis were used. The following seven themes were examined: meaning of death before and during Covid-19; meaning of death during Covid-19; awareness of life; anxiety toward family members during Covid-19; effects of Covid-19 on daily life; future anxiety after Covid-19; and coping strategies for death anxiety. The participants were mostly afraid of losing their significant others rather than dying. During the pandemic, they have had fears about the manner of death associated with Covid-19.

Irem; Kesici, Sahin; Dilmac, Bulent; Yalcin, S. Barbaros; Eksi, HalilThe aim of this paper is to determine the effect of gender on humanistic values. The study group is composed of 256 high school students. The Humanistic Values Scale was used to determine humanistic values. Humanistic values in the scale are measured with 42 items in six dimensions. This study was conducted in Relational Screening Model. Screening models are research approaches that aim to describe a past or current situation as it was or as it is. Quantitative data obtained as a result of the study were analyzed using the independent t-test, which is used to determine the relation between dependent variable and independent variable and Cohen's technique. According to the findings of the paper, while the effect of gender on responsibility, honesty and tolerance as sub-dimensions of humanistic values was small, its effect on friendship was medium and its effect on being peaceful was great. Discussions and suggestions are made in line with the results.Öğe Human Values as Predictors of Motivational Beliefs in High School Students(Kamla-Raj Enterprises, 2014) Kesici, SahinHuman values play a significant role in the personality development of adolescents. Values include the standards that embrace the social changes influencing the whole society and are effective in the construction of desired behaviours. Motivational beliefs are effective component in the learning goals of adolescents. The purpose of the present study is to investigate the predictive powers of human,values on motivational beliefs. The participants are 462 high school students. Human Values Scale was used to determine the human values of the students in the study. Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire was also used to measure the motivational strategies of students. Results indicate that human values are significant predictor of motivational strategies. While being pacifist itself explains 10.4 % of the variance related to intrinsic goal orientation, it explains 11.7 % of motivational beliefs it together with respect scale. While tolerance explains 2.9 % of the variance related to external goal orientation itself, it explains 3.7 % of the variance related to external goal orientation together with respect. Whereas being pacifist explains 8.9 % of the variance related to the perception of self-efficacy itself, together with respect, they explain 9.9 % of the variance related to perception of self-efficacy.Öğe Individualism and internet addiction: the mediating role of psychological needs(Emerald Group Publishing Ltd, 2018) Arpaci, Ibrahim; Kesici, Sahin; Baloglu, MustafaPurpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the mediating role of psychological needs in the association between individualism and internet addiction. Design/methodology/approach A mixed-method design was used by comprising of 602 college students' (70.3 percent women) responses obtained through the Individualism-Collectivism Survey, New Needs Assessment Questionnaire, and Internet Addiction Scale. Structural equation modeling techniques were used to investigate the theoretical relationships among the constructs. Constant comparative method was employed to analyze qualitative data that resulted from the transcription of semi-structured interviews with 12 field experts. Findings Quantitative results showed that individualism has a significant effect on internet addiction through affiliation, dominance, achievement, and autonomy (i.e. psychological needs). As students' needs for dominance, achievement, and autonomy increased their internet addiction levels decreased. However, increase in the need of affiliation led to increase in the likelihood of internet addiction. Qualitative findings suggested alternative ways to satisfy psychological needs in socially more proper ways. Originality/value Psychological needs and internet addiction have long been investigated both independently and in relation to each other. However, the investigation of espoused culture (i.e. individualism) in relation to psychological needs and internet addiction is relatively recent. A review of the recent literature showed that an investigation of the mediating role of psychological needs in the effect of individualism on internet addiction is highly original. Moreover, initial quantitative results and follow-up qualitative findings help the authors understand psychological needs underlying internet addiction and suggest socially more appropriate means to satisfy these needs. Findings have theoretical values for researchers as well as practical values for those who work with students.Öğe MINDFULNESS AND FIVE FACTOR PERSONALITY TRAITS AS PREDICTORS OF HUMOR(Slovak Acad Sciences Inst Experimental Psychology, 2013) Ozyesil, Zumra; Deniz, M. Engin; Kesici, SahinThe study aims to determine if mindfulness and the Five Factor Personality Traits significantly predict humor styles. The participants of the study were a total of 502 undergraduate students, 300 (59.8%) female and 202 (40.2%) male. Humor Styles Questionnaire (HSQ), Adjective Based Personality Test (ABPT) and The Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS) were used in order to collect the data of the study. Pearson's Product Moments correlation technique and multiple regression analysis were employed for statistical analysis. The findings of the study show that mindfulness and the Five Factor Personality Traits significantly predict the subdimensions of humor styles.Öğe The moderating effect of gender in the relationship between narcissism and selfie-posting behavior(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2018) Arpaci, Ibrahim; Yalcin, Suleyman Barbaros; Baloglu, Mustafa; Kesici, SahinThis study contributes to the cyberpsychology literature by investigating the moderating effect of gender in the relationship between narcissism and selfie posting behavior. A demographic questionnaire, 13-item selfie-posting scale developed and validated in the present study, and Narcissistic Personality Inventory (NPI-16) were used to collect data. An EFA was conducted to test the factor structure of scales based on data collected from 179 young adults (age 18-27 years). A CFA was then conducted using data from 269 university students (age 18-32 years) to test construct validity of the scales. A correlation analysis was employed to test the correlations between narcissism and selfie posting behavior. The results indicated that the correlations between attitudes, intentions, behaviors, and narcissism are significant for men, but not for women. The results also indicated gender differences in online behavior with women spending more time on social media and selfie-posting.Öğe A multi-group analysis of the effects of individual differences in mindfulness on nomophobia(Sage Publications Ltd, 2019) Arpaci, Ibrahim; Baloglu, Mustafa; Kesici, SahinThis study aimed to investigate the impact of individual differences in mindfulness on nomophobia. We developed and validated two structural models to identify the relationship between mindfulness and nomophobia. The 'Nomophobia Questionnaire' and the 'Mindful Attention Awareness Scale' were used to obtain data from the subjects. One-way MANOVA results suggested a statistically significant difference in nomophobia based on higher versus lower mindfulness. Further, a multi-group analysis was conducted to test the hypothesized relationships in the structural models for men and women. The results revealed that mindfulness had a significant negative correlation with nomophobia for both men and women. As scores in mindfulness increased, subjects exhibited less nomophobic tendencies. Further, those subjects who had lower scores in mindfulness showed higher anxiety when they were unable to communicate. However, subjects who scored higher in mindfulness showed lower anxiety when they could not access desired information. Independent sample t-test results were variant across men and women in nomophobia. Based on the findings we conclude that mindfulness based treatments can be beneficial in dealing with nomophobia for women.Öğe Psychological Needs as Predictors of Human Values in High School Students(Kamla-Raj Enterprises, 2015) Kesici, SahinThe purpose of the present study is to determine whether psychological needs are significant predictors of high school students' human values. The study group comprised 552 high school students. It was determined that high school students' belonging, fun, freedom and power needs are significant predictors of high school students' human value. According to the findings of the study, power and belonging needs were significant predictors of high school students' responsibility value. Belonging, fun and power needs were found to be significant predictors of high school students' respect value. Power and freedom needs were found to be significant predictors of high school students' honesty value. Belonging need was found to be a significant predictor of high school students' peaceful value. Fun need was found to be a significant predictor of high school students' friendship value. Freedom need was found to be a significant predictor of high school students' tolerance value.Öğe The relationship among individual differences in individualism-collectivism, extraversion, and self-presentation(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2018) Arpaci, Ibrahim; Baloglu, Mustafa; Kesici, SahinIndividualism versus collectivism as an aspect of culture and extraversion as an aspect of personality may help explain self-presentation attitudes, intentions, and behaviors on social networking sites. Thus, this study aims to investigate the individual differences and relationships among individualism versus collectivism, extraversion, and self-presentation attitudes, intentions, and behaviors. The Individualism-Collectivism Scale and the Big Five Personality Scale were used to collect the data from 311 college students (75.9% woman, mean age = 20.68). Results show that individualism has a significant positive correlation with extraversion, which has a significant correlation with selfie posting attitudes, intentions and behaviors. Even though the correlation between individualism and attitudes toward self-presentation was statistically significant, the magnitude of the association was small.Öğe The Role of Personality and Psychological Needs on the Problematic Internet Use and Problematic Social Media Use(Turkish Green Crescent Soc, 2019) Kozan, H. Irem Ozteke; Baloglu, Mustafa; Kesici, Sahin; Arpaci, IbrahimCurrent study investigates the relationships among personality characteristics, psychological needs, problematic Internet use and problematic social media use. A theoretical model was specified, estimated, and evaluated based on the data collected from 436 college students (Mean Age = 20.93 years, SD = 2.11 years). First, structural equation modeling approach was used to validate the research model. The model suggests that personality has significant direct and indirect effects on problematic Internet use but it has only a significant indirect effect on problematic social media use through psychological needs. Further, there is also a significant direct effect of psychological needs on both problematic Internet use and problematic social media use. An increase in neuroticism, extraversion, openness, agreeableness, and conscientiousness leads to an increase in dominance, autonomy, affiliation, and achievement, whereas an increase in psychological needs leads to a decrease in problematic Internet use and problematic social media use. Implications of the findings are discussed for theory and practice in cyberpsychology.Öğe The Role of Personality and Psychological Needs on the Problematic Internet Use and Problematic Social Media Use(Turkish Green Crescent Soc, 2019) Kozan, H.
