- MakaleYalnız künye2026Effects of mandatory schooling expansion on upward educational mobility among women in Türkiye
De, Prabal K.; Tümay, Muhammed
Using data from the Turkish Demographic Health Survey and a Regression Discontinuity Design, we estimate the effects of an exogenous increase in mandatory schooling on educational mobility among women in Türkiye. Our findings indicate that compulsory schooling may increase upward educational mobility where women attend education levels higher than their parents, particularly mothers. Additionally, we find such effects not only for the level at which schooling became compulsory but also at higher levels, showing a magnification of the initial impact.

Salti, Aysun Kazak; Topali, Hasret; Turkmen, Osman Oğulcan
Hemodialysis (HD) patients commonly experience psychological distress and anxiety, which may affect their comfort and satisfaction during treatment. This study examined the overall impact of stress ball use on satisfaction, comfort, and anxiety among individuals receiving HD. A total of 46 patients were randomized between January and July 2025. Three participants in the intervention group withdrew before completing the study; therefore, the final analysis included 43 patients (20 in the stress ball group and 23 in the control group). Data were collected using the Patient Information Form (PIF), Visual Analog Patient Satisfaction Scale (VAPSS), Hemodialysis Comfort Scale (HCS), Distress Thermometer (DT), and Visual Analog Scale for Anxiety (VAS-A). Patients in the intervention group used a stress ball for at least 15 minutes during each of twelve HD sessions. Measurements were obtained at baseline, midpoint, and post-test, while the control group received standard care and was assessed concurrently. The study findings demonstrated that anxiety levels decreased over time in the stress ball group, whereas they increased in the control group. Similarly, distress levels decreased in the stress ball group, while no significant change was observed in the control group. HD comfort scores decreased in the stress ball group but increased in the control group. In contrast, no statistically significant difference was found between the groups in terms of the VAPSS scores. These results highlight the potential value of simple distraction techniques in clinical settings for further improving psychological outcomes.

Uzun, Sevda; Aslan, Çimen
This study aimed to evaluate the role of religion and spirituality in coping with stigmatization in individuals who commit homicide using a phenomenological approach. In the analysis of the data, two themes (the effects of committing crime on the individual, thoughts on the role of spirituality in coping with stigmatization) and six sub- themes (spiritual, social, physical, stigmatization, spirituality and coping) were identified. As a result of the study, it was determined that individuals who commit crimes are psychosocially affected very negatively and experience stigmatization due to the situation they experience.

Tuncer, Gülsüm Zekiye; Tuncer, Metin
With rapid technological advancements, eHealth-based guided self-help interventions have become accessible, flexible, cost-effective, and stigma-reducing treatment options for binge eating disorder (BED). This meta-analysis evaluated the effectiveness of these interventions in individuals diagnosed with BED or showing BED symptoms, based on eight randomized controlled trials with 1,575 participants. Intervention length varied between a single session to four months. Six studies focused solely on web-based guided self-help interventions, one study implemented a hybrid approach combining face-to-face and online components, and another study employed two distinct online guided self-help methods. The interventions included psychoeducational modules, therapist feedback, online behavior monitoring, and self-assessments. eHealth-based guided self-help significantly reduced binge eating psychopathology (SMD: 0.53; 95% CI: 0.20–0.86) and objective binge eating (OBE) days (SMD: 0.49; 95% CI: 0.12–0.85) compared to controls. These interventions offer effective solutions for individuals facing barriers to traditional treatment access.

Yıldız Karaahmet, Aysu; Bilgiç, Fatma Şule; Karakaş, Sevda
This study aimed to systematically review and meta-analyze the effects of non-pharmacological treatments on problematic pornography use (PPU), pornography use frequency, sexual dysfunction, psychological symptoms, and quality of life in individuals with PPU. A comprehensive literature search was conducted in PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, PsycINFO, and Web of Science between June and July 2024. MeSH-based keywords were used to identify relevant Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) published in the last ten years. Five RCTs with a total of 826 participants were included. Non-pharmacological interventions significantly reduced PPU (SMD: −1.16; 95% CI: −2.10 to −0.22; p = 0.02) and pornography use frequency (SMD: −0.74; 95% CI: −1.43 to −0.05; p = 0.04) compared to control groups. No statistically significant effects were found for sexual dysfunction (SMD: −0.47; p = 0.05) or psychological symptoms (SMD: −0.42; p = 0.06), though moderate effects were observed. Risk of bias was high or unclear in terms of participant and outcome blinding. Non-pharmacological interventions appear effective in reducing PPU and use frequency. Although effects on sexual function and psychological symptoms were not significant, the findings suggest potential improvements in overall quality of life.
- MakaleYalnız künye2026Economic and financial stability under uncertainty in the U.S.: insights from Fourier analysis
Polat, Mehmet Ali; Akbas, Yusuf Ekrem; Sancar, Canan; ŞİT, Ahmet
In the aftermath of the 2008 Global Financial Crisis, the occurrence of financial turmoil even in developed economies has sparked renewed debates on financial stability and caused the rise of the relevance of the variables employed to represent financial stability, which has gained increasing importance in the literature. This study investigates the impact of economic stability and uncertainty on financial stability in the United States over the period 1970 to 2022. Financial stability is proxied by the index developed by Owoundi, Mbassi, and Owoundi (2021), while economic stability is captured through the International Country Risk Guide (ICRG 2014) index. The relationship among the variables is examined using the Fourier methodology. The empirical findings reveal that economic stability exerts a positive influence on financial stability, whereas economic uncertainty negatively affects financial stability only in the long run. The causality analysis further indicates a unidirectional causal flow from economic stability and economic uncertainty to financial stability, in line with the coefficient estimates. Additionally, the results demonstrate bidirectional linkages between financial stability and economic stability.
- MakaleAçık Erişim2026Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis on Social Media Comments (Twitter) : The Attributes of Service Robots in the Hotel and Restaurant Industry
Acar, Ayşegül; Türten, Burak; Diker, Ersin
Service robots are becoming more prevalent in the service industry, yet the impact they have on customer experiences is not well-documented. This study identified consumer emotions toward service robots in hotels and restaurants, focusing on how specific attributes of these robots affect consumer emotions. Furthermore, it explored which countries generate the most comments on these service robot attributes and the nature of consumer emotions within these regions. Utilizing sentiment analysis, the study examined 52,513 English-language tweets about hotel and restaurant service robots. Additionally, logistic regression analysis helped quantify the impact of robot attributes–categorized as physical, functional, and relational–on different classes of emotions. The findings reveal that customers of restaurants and hotels were most influenced by the physical and relational attributes of service robots, respectively, with functional attributes having the least impact. The logistic regression analysis offered significant insights into how service robot attributes influence consumer experiences in hotels and restaurants.

Güngör, Sunay; Karimi, Kambiz
In a dynamic society, instilling a sense of positive attitudes is crucial. Yılmaz and Balcı's (2002) The Optimism Scale was translated into Azerbaijani and its construct validity and reliability were tested using a convenience sample of university students (n = 300, 18–24 years). cities. The sample was split for exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. Findings showed cultural commonalities between Azerbaijani and Turkish societies, attested through shared factors such as religion and language. The scale showed high construct validity, high internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha =.869; McDonald's omega =.867), and convergent validity (r =.41 with measures of happiness). It supports usability of the scale in Azerbaijan. Future studies should explore structural characteristics of the scale among different populations and age brackets.
- MakaleYalnız künye2026Challenge of existence: social anxiety in Finding Audrey
Demir, Nalan
Mental health problems affect individuals worldwide, and literature functions as a medium for both reflecting and shaping social understandings of these issues. Young adult (YA) novels that address mental health can raise public awareness, enhance mental health literacy, and support earlier diagnosis and more effective treatment. This study examines the representation of social anxiety disorder in Finding Audrey (2015) by Sophie Kinsella, focusing on the protagonist Audrey Turner. It analyses Audrey’s experience through her symptoms and treatment process, classifying symptoms into behavioural and cognitive-emotional categories. Behavioural symptoms include avoidance, limited eye contact, and physical reactions, while cognitive-emotional symptoms involve negative self-talk, shame, low self-esteem, negative self-perception, and diminished trust in others. These symptoms and the depicted therapeutic approaches are evaluated in relation to current psychological and psychiatric research. Overall, the novel presents social anxiety disorder in a realistic and psychologically coherent manner, aligning with findings in psychology and psychiatry.

Yücel, İbrahim; Türkkan, Tuğba; Yoldaş, Nergiz; Duman, Münevver
This study aimed to find out the experiences and coping styles of young adults affected by the Kahramanmaraş-centered earthquakes that took place on 6 February 2023, during and after the earthquake. Qualitative research method and phenomenological approach were used in the study. In-depth interviews were conducted with 33 young adults who were selected using the purposive sampling technique. The interviews with earthquake survivors were conducted approximately two months after the earthquake and took place in the temporary housing facilities to which they had been relocated. The research findings showed that many young people experienced the night of the earthquake as an unforgettable night. It was also found that the support provided after the earthquake was inadequate to meet the needs of survivors. Certain changes occurred in the family relations and personality traits of survivors after the earthquake. Young adults experienced some difficulties after the earthquake and developed a series of coping mechanisms to overcome such difficulties. At the end of the research, recommendations are made for field workers and policy makers from a psychological perspective.
- MakaleYalnız künye2026Narrative empathy in the tourist guiding experience: a conceptual model linking emotional labor to narrative transportation
Akdu, Serap
Tour guiding facilitates tourists' cognitive and emotional immersion, yet the psychological mechanisms underlying the link between guides' emotional labor and tourists' engagement remain underexplored. This conceptual study examines how guides' emotional labor translates into experiential outcomes, offering theoretical and practical implications for tour guiding research and training. Drawing on Emotional Labor, Narrative Transportation, and empathy-oriented theories, the study reconceptualizes narrative empathy as a distinct tourist-internal psychological process operating as a mediating construct. Rather than representing simple emotional engagement, narrative empathy involves cognitive perspective-taking and affective resonance with the narrative world. The proposed model suggests that guides' emotional labor performance, exemplified by authentic emotion regulation strategies such as deep acting, is expressed through structured storytelling and narrative cues. This storytelling performance elicits narrative empathy in tourists, enhancing their cognitive and emotional engagement and facilitating narrative transportation. The process is influenced by interaction dynamics, prior expectations, and group dynamics, while performance indicators, such as tone of voice, body language, and dramatization, strengthen its effectiveness. These mechanisms contribute to higher tourist satisfaction and memorable experiences. By clarifying narrative empathy as the psychological mechanism connecting guide performance with tourist narrative transportation, this study advances tourism theory through a process-oriented conceptual framework and provides practical insights for guide training.

Çınar, Öznur; Cengiz, Ekrem
Bereaved individuals encounter the deceased through social media profiles, message histories, and algorithmic reminders, yet no validated instrument measures prolonged grief expressed through digital interactions. We developed and validated a multidimensional measure of digital-environment prolonged grief severity (DPGSS). Turkish bereaved adults (n = 577) bereaved at least 12 months earlier completed the DPGSS alongside grief, distress, and other less relevant measures, and 125 completed it again about three weeks later. Factor analyses supported a four-factor structure—digital separation distress and preoccupation, digital emotional responses, digital avoidance, and digital functional impairment—in 15 items. The correlated four-factor model fit the data well, outperforming a one-factor alternative. The DPGSS demonstrated strong internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and measurement invariance across nine demographic variables. Convergent associations with grief and distress, and negligible associations with rigidity and AI acceptance, supported its construct specificity. The DPGSS-15 is a reasonable tool for assessing digital prolonged grief.
- MakaleYalnız künye2026Beyond reactive displacement: anticipatory mobility, climate governance, and the climate passport
Limon, Onur; Gürdal Limon, Elif
This article examines how existing mobility governance frameworks can be re-theorized to better align with the temporal dynamics of climate risk and the conditions shaping mobility decision-making. The analysis demonstrates that current mobility regimes systematically privilege discretionary, event-based protection while offering limited legal predictability or rights-based recognition for anticipatory and incremental mobility. Building on this analysis, the article develops the Climate Passport as a diagnostic framework rather than an operational policy instrument. The framework specifies three governance criteria that any adequate anticipatory mobility regime would need to satisfy: early recognition of climate risk before displacement becomes unavoidable, rights-based and legally predictable status for those facing slow-onset environmental harm, and institutional coherence across the currently fragmented domains of migration, refugee protection, and climate adaptation governance. Informed by the historical Nansen Passport and grounded in human rights and climate justice scholarship, the framework offers a systematic lens for examining how institutional architectures structure the timing, legitimacy, and accessibility of mobility under climate change. By reframing climate-related mobility as a structurally embedded component of adaptation rather than an exceptional failure of in situ resilience, the article contributes to interdisciplinary debates on migration, adaptation, and global justice.
- MakaleYalnız künye2026Factors effecting users’ intention to re-visit online secondhand clothing shopping platforms and the mediating role of satisfaction
Avci, Ibrahim
With the rise of online shopping, platforms and applications for secondhand clothing shopping have arisen. Consumers utilize these platforms and applications to buy secondhand garments that they require and sell the things they don’t use. It is critical to identify the characteristics that influence users’ intentions to re-visit these platforms and services, as well as their satisfaction. In this context, the goal of this research is to determine the effects of economic value, interaction with other customers, information privacy concerns, and environmental awareness on the intention to re-visit online secondhand clothing shopping platforms, as well as to uncover the mediating role of platform satisfaction in these effects. In order to achieve this goal, data was gathered using an online survey, which 430 customers completed altogether. According to the findings of the analysis, satisfaction, economic value, interaction with other customers, and environmental awareness all have significant positive effects on the intention to re-visit online secondhand clothing shopping platforms, whereas information privacy concerns have a negative. Furthermore, satisfaction was found to play a mediating role in the association between intention to re-visit online secondhand clothing shopping platforms and economic value (full mediation) as well as interaction with other customers (full mediation). These results provide theoretical implications for identifying the factors that influence users to re-visit second-hand shopping websites and managerial implications for redesigning platforms with a focus on customer satisfaction.
- MakaleAçık Erişim2026Predictors of citations: an analysis of highly-cited-papers in hospitality and tourism research using a machine learning approach
Polat, Eray; Çelik, Fatih; Arici, Hasan Evrim; Köseoglu, Mehmet Ali
In the dynamic nature of hospitality and tourism (H&T) research, it is increasingly difficult to distinguish highly-cited-papers (HCPs) due to the rapid proliferation of publications. This study employs machine learning techniques to identify the predictors of citation counts in H&T research over both short-term (5-year) and long-term (20-year) periods using HCPs. The analysis integrates a theoretical framework comprising normative theory and social constructivist theory. The findings indicate that international citation, PlumXmetrics, and early citations are the most effective determinants in both periods. Furthermore, while the importance of international citations is evident in both periods, the order of importance of the other two predictors changes. PlumXmetrics are more important in the long-term, while early citations are more important in the short-term. In conclusion, this comprehensive and up-to-date study of citation dynamics provides valuable insights for scholars and other stakeholders interested in enhancing the visibility and influence of H&T literature.
- MakaleYalnız künye2026Do special economic zones support regional development in transition economies? The case of Kazakhstan
Önder, Kübra; Şahin, Muhammet
This study examines the impact of Special Economic Zones (SEZs) in Kazakhstan between 2000 and 2023 on regional development, explicitly accounting for institutional and spatial heterogeneity. For causal identification, it employs a Forward Orthogonal Deviations-based GMMf (System GMMf) estimator to address endogeneity and reverse causality, complemented by an event-study framework to trace the dynamic evolution of policy effects. The results reveal strong path dependence in regional growth and show that the effectiveness of SEZ incentives is non-linear and systematically conditioned by the depth of regional production structures, proxied by the Value Added Index. Empirical evidence suggests that SEZ incentives stimulate growth in low value-added regions, while potentially distorting market signals and generating crowding-out effects in regions with high value-added production. Dynamic analyses indicate that the negative shock observed immediately after implementation reflects temporary adjustment costs and resource reallocation, with effects converging towards zero over time. Overall, the findings imply that SEZs are not automatic engines of growth but require careful calibration to local production structures to mitigate risks of policy saturation and adverse selection. The study provides an original contribution to the literature on the design and life-cycle management of next-generation industrial policies in transition economies.

Ediz, Çiçek; Uzun, Sevda
Aim: This study aimed to assess the lived experiences of adolescent pregnant young women, with a specific focus on the psychosocial aspect of adolescent pregnancy, using a phenomenological approach. Design: Employing the phenomenological research method, semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted between 3 August and 18 August 2023 with 15 young women (mean age = 21.86 years; SD = 1.06) living in a province in eastern Turkey who had undergone adolescent pregnancy 3–5 years before. Methods: The criterion sampling method, a form of purposive sampling, was used to form the sample group. Interviews were carried out until data saturation was reached. All interviews were recorded and transcribed, and thematic analysis was utilised to analyse the data. The study adhered to the COREQ checklist for reporting. Results: Through data analysis, three main categories (reflections on adolescent pregnancy, challenges due to adolescent pregnancy, and effects of adolescent pregnancy) and nine sub-themes (emotions, roles and responsibilities, perception of social support, cognitive, emotional, behavioural, mental, physical, and social) emerged. Conclusion: Our study highlights the adverse psychosocial impact of adolescent pregnancy on young women. Young women who got married at an early age before attaining full physical, social, and psychological maturity grappled with the substantial burdens of adolescent pregnancy and adjusting to their new roles. The study’s implications are significant, emphasising the necessity of addressing the psychosocial facets of adolescent marriage and pregnancy, and gaining valuable insights for the future.

Özel, Özge; Hançer, Buse; Sop, Aylin
This study examined the impact of an Augmented Reality (AR)-based virtual application on preschool children's visual perception development in geometric shape learning. A quasi-experimental research design was employed. The study sample consisted of 26 preschool children, aged 5–6, from a public school in Türkiye. The children in the experimental group engaged with AR-supported materials, allowing them to explore geometric shapes interactively and listen to their properties in a virtual environment. Each child participated individually in the learning application for 50–60 minutes. The Frostig Visual Perception Test was administered as both a pre-test and post-test. Results indicated that the AR-based learning application had a statistically significant positive effect on preschool children's visual perception development.
- MakaleYalnız künye2025Narrative empathy in young adult literature: Am I normal yet?
Demir, Nalan
Mental health issues are increasingly common in modern societies, yet public awareness has not kept pace. The invisibility of psychological disorders and fear of stigma contribute to this gap. Early detection is vital, especially among young people. Literature with its impact on emotional and cognitive development, can help raise awareness and provide support. This study examines Holly Bourne’s Am I Normal Yet? through the lens of narrative empathy to explore how fiction can shape perceptions of mental illness. It analyzes the novel’s first-person narration and embodied narration, which may evoke empathy for the protagonist experiencing obsessive-compulsive disorder. These techniques can encourage emotional engagement and foster compassionate attitudes toward mental health challenges. Moreover, such literature may offer validation and solidarity to struggling readers. Ultimately, this research highlights young adult fiction's potential to enhance mental health literacy and act as an empathetic bridge between individual experience and societal understanding.
- MakaleAçık Erişim2025Reliability and Validity of the Turkish Version of the Walsh Family Resilience Questionnaire
Arslan, Kübra; Hatipoğlu, Ertuğrul
A multidimensional scale to measure family resilience, which focuses on facilitating positive adaptation and strengthening the family unit when affected by high-stressful events, does not exist in Turkish. The aim of this study was to adapt the Family Resilience Scale into Turkish and to conduct a validity and reliability study. The Family Resilience Scale was translated into Turkish and back-translated. Simple random sampling was used to create a representative sample of adults from 321 families selected in Turkey in 2022. The reliability of the scale as a whole and of the subscales was examined using Cronbach’s alpha. Test-retest reliability, the scale was administered to 30 individuals two weeks apart to determine reliability using the test-retest method. Cronbach alpha coefficients were greater than 0.70 for all scales. The test-retest reliability for the General Family Resilience Scale score was found to be.725. According to the results of the confirmatory factor analysis, chi-square χ2 = 2.598; RMSEA= 0.071; SRMR= 0.06; IFI= 0.90; CFI= 0.90; GFI= 0.89; TLI= 0.88. This study provides evidence that the Family Resilience Scale has good validity, reliability and test-retest reliability for Turkish families. Further testing, including construct validity and testing in different contexts, will strengthen the evidence. This scale will find application in resilience research, clinical settings, and facilitate the development and evaluation of intervention programmes to build resilience in Turkish families.
