    Cyberbullying and Cyber victimization: examining mediating roles of Empathy and Resilience
    (Springer, 2023) Batmaz, Hasan; Turk, Nuri; Kaya, Alican; Yildirim, Murat
    Cyberbullying has a profound negative impact on the psychological health of individuals. This study examined the mediating effects of empathy and resilience in the relationship between cyberbullying and cyber victimization. Data were collected from 506 undergraduate students (53,7% female and 46,3% male) with a mean of 20.57 years (SD = 1.72). Cyberbullying and Victimization Scale (CVS), Brief resilience scale (BRS), and Toronto Empathy Scale (TES) were utilized to collect the data cross-sectionally. Results showed that cyberbullying had a significant direct effect on cyber victimization, resilience, and empathy. Resilience and empathy also had significant effects on cyber victimization. Mediation analysis indicated that resilience and empathy mediated the relationship between cyberbullying and cyber victimization. These results improve our understanding of the underlying mechanism between cyberbullying and cyber victimization by considering the roles of psychological resources. Prevention and intervention programs can be tailored to cultivate resilience and empathy to mitigate the impact of cyberbullying on cyber victimization.

    Defeat, entrapment and suicidal ideation in a Turkish community sample of young adults: an examination of the Integrated Motivational-Volitional (IMV) model of suicidal behaviour
    (Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2024) Tuerk, Nuri; Yasdiman, Meryem Betuel; Kaya, Alican
    The present study examines the relationships between defeat, entrapment, suicidal ideation, thwarted belongingness, and perceived burdensomeness through the Integrated Motivational-Volitional (IMV) Model of Suicidal Behaviour in a sample of Turkish young adults. The sample consisted of 451 individuals (72.5% females, Mage= 25.20). The correlation analyses revealed significant relationships between defeat, entrapment, suicidal ideation, thwarted belongingness, perceived burdensomeness in the expected directions. Mediation and moderation analyses partly confirmed the assumptions of the motivational phase of the IMV model; entrapment played a mediating role between defeat and suicidal ideation, and thwarted belongingness (but not perceived burdensomeness) had a moderating role in the pathway between entrapment and suicidal ideation. These findings add a new dimension to the understanding of suicide risk and potential protective factors through the IMV model, which was tested for the first time in the Turkish population. It is anticipated that this study will contribute to suicide prevention intervention strategies, especially for young adults, at-risk group for suicide in Turkey.

    Online Gaming Addiction and Basic Psychological Needs Among Adolescents: The Mediating Roles of Meaning in Life and Responsibility
    (Springer, 2024) Kaya, Alican; Turk, Nuri; Batmaz, Hasan; Griffiths, Mark D.
    Individuals whose basic needs are naturally satisfied are much less dependent on their environment and more autonomous. Basic psychological needs (i.e., the general motivators of human actions) are significant predictors of online gaming addiction. Moreover, it has been posited that meaning and responsibility in life are at the center of life from an existential point of view. Therefore, a hypothetical model was tested to examine the relationships between basic psychological needs (autonomy, competence, relatedness), online gaming addiction, responsibility, and meaning in life. Data were collected from a sample of 546 participants. Mediation analysis was conducted, and the results indicated that basic psychological needs, online gaming addiction, responsibility, and meaning in life had significant negative and positive relationships. The findings indicated that responsibility and meaning in life had a serial mediating effect in the relationship between basic psychological needs and online gaming addiction. The findings also showed that the inverse relationship between online gaming addiction and basic psychological needs was at least partially explained by meaning in life and responsibility. The results of the present study are of great importance and suggest that interventions to satisfy the basic psychological needs of adolescents may help prevent online gaming addiction.

    Psychological maltreatment, meaning-centered coping, psychological flexibility, and suicide cognitions: A moderated mediation model
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2024) Turk, Nuri; Arslan, Gokmen; Kaya, Alican; Guc, Ebru; Turan, Mehmet Emin
    Background: Mental health problems are currently diversifying, increasing the possibility of suicide. Exposure to psychological maltreatment is one of the factors that increases suicidal cognitions. In addition, psychological flexibility and meaning-centered approaches may be effective in coping with suicidal cognitions. Objective: A hypothesized model was tested to examine the relationships among psychological maltreatment, suicidal cognitions, psychological flexibility, and meaning-centered coping. Method: Data were collected from a sample of 652 participants. Mediation and moderation analyses were conducted to examine the mediating and moderating role of psychological flexibility and meaning-centered coping in the relationship between childhood psychological maltreatment and suicide cognitions among Turkish adults. Results: The results of the study indicated significant negative and positive relationships between psychological maltreatment, suicide cognitions, psychological flexibility, and meaning-centered coping. The findings suggest that psychological flexibility and meaning-centered coping have a serial mediating effect on the relationship between psychological maltreatment and suicide cognitions. Furthermore, according to the study results, psychological flexibility plays a moderating role both between psychological maltreatment and suicidal cognitions and between meaning-centered coping and suicidal cognitions. Conclusions: The study suggests that psychological maltreatment can be considered as a risk factor and meaning-centered coping and psychological flexibility as protective factors in suicide prevention studies.

    Psychological vulnerability, emotional problems, and quality-of-life: Validation of the brief suicide cognitions scale for Turkish college students
    (Springer, 2024) Arslan, Gokmen; Turk, Nuri; Kaya, Alican
    The purpose of this study was to examine the reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the Brief Suicide Cognitions Scale (BSCS-T) and to explore the mediating role of emotional problems in the relationship between psychological vulnerability and suicide cognitions and quality of life among Turkish young adults. Participants were 418 students in Turkiye. The sample included 181 female (43.3%) and 237 male (56.7%) students aged 18-35 years (mean = 22.86, SD = 3.03). The results provided evidence to support the use of the BSCS-T as a means of identifying young people at high risk of suicide. Furthermore, the results showed that psychological vulnerability significantly and positively predicted emotional problems and suicidal cognitions among college students. In addition, psychological vulnerability negatively predicted students' quality of life, and emotional problems played a mediating role between psychological vulnerability and both suicide cognitions and quality of life. These findings highlight the need for targeted interventions to reduce suicide risk and improve psychological well-being. Further research in this area can contribute to suicide prevention efforts and the development of effective strategies to support at-risk individuals in college settings.

    Reliability and Validity of Short-Form Generic Scale of Being Phubbed and Phubbing Among Turkish Adolescents and Young Adults
    (Springer, 2024) Kaya, Alican; Şata, Mehmet; Türk, Nuri; Özok, Halil Ibrahim; Yıldırım, Murat
    Presently, people focus their attention on their phones while communicating. The behavior known as phubbing is considered a new behavioral addiction. It may lead to many problems in the relationships of adolescents and adults. Therefore, we aimed to examine the measurement invariance of the short-form development of the generic scale of being phubbed and phubbing across two study samples among Turkish adolescents and young adults. A team of 12 experts was assigned the task of translating and back-translating the scales in accordance with the test adaptation guide. The data were collected from 451 Turkish adolescents (n = 206 high school students) and young adults (n = 245 university students). The measurement invariance of adolescents and young adults was investigated using a confirmatory factor analysis, in which increasingly strict equality constraints were applied to model parameters. Based on the model’s results, both the three-factor 12-item General Phubbed Being Scale (GSBP) and the four-factor 12-item General Phubbing Scale (GSP) were found to have good construct validity. A measurement invariance analysis showed that both GSBP and GSP were reliable and valid in both sample groups (i.e., adolescents and adults) to measure phubbing. These results will facilitate the identification of phubbing behaviors that adolescents and young adults exhibit and are exposed to. Moreover, this study provides short and effective measurement tools that can be used in studies to prevent and intervene in phubbing behavior. © The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2024.
