  Measuring Perceived Social Support After Disaster: Development and Validation of the Perceived Social Support in Disasters Scale (PSSDS-28)

  Oruç, Abdurrahman; Cengiz, Ekrem

  Background/Objectives: Measuring perceived social support after disaster remains an unresolved psychometric problem. Most instruments do not jointly capture the source of support (from whom it comes) and its function (how it operates). None has been validated in a disaster-survivor sample with retrospectively framed items. We developed and validated the Perceived Social Support in Disasters Scale (PSSDS-28), a 28-item measure integrating both dimensions. Methods: In Phase 1, a PRISMA 2020-guided systematic review; a two-round Delphi with eight experts, cognitive interviews (n = 12); and a pilot study (N = 150) produced a 31-item form. In Phase 2, face-to-face data were collected from 607 adults affected by the 6 February 2023 Kahramanmaraş earthquakes (Türkiye). Multiple analytic frameworks converged on a five-factor, 28-item structure comprising family–relative, social environment, institutional, emotional, and instrumental–informational support. Results: The correlated five-factor model fit the independent validation sample well (CFI = 0.954, RMSEA = 0.076, and SRMR = 0.072) and outperformed a one-factor alternative (ΔCFI = 0.222). Blocks showed strong internal consistency (ordinal α = 0.852–0.949), composite reliability (0.865–0.950), and adequate test–retest stability (ICC = 0.542–0.909). Scalar measurement invariance held across six groupings, with no meaningful differential item functioning. Convergent and discriminant evidence supported construct validity, and common-method variance was negligible. Institutional (M = 3.29) and instrumental–informational support (M = 2.99) scored lowest—a profile a global score would conceal. Conclusions: The PSSDS-28 provides promising initial psychometric evidence for a multidimensional post-disaster assessment instrument situated at the perceived–received interface, a target that general-purpose scales are not designed to capture. Criterion-related validity, cross-cultural validity, and cross-disaster replicability remain to be demonstrated.

  Turkish validation of the CompACT: assessing psychological flexibility among emergency aid and disaster management students

  Çınar, Öznur; Oral, Vildan; Turan, Melikşah; Cengiz, Ekrem

  Psychological flexibility is a central construct in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and an important protective factor for mental health, particularly among individuals expected to function effectively under high stress and uncertainty, such as those in emergency aid and disaster management. Despite its relevance for this population, no Turkish version of the Comprehensive Assessment of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Processes (CompACT) had been available. The present study aimed to perform a cross-cultural adaptation of the English version of CompACT into Turkish and to evaluate its psychometric properties in emergency aid and disaster management students. The study was conducted in two phases: translation and cross-cultural adaptation, followed by psychometric evaluation in a sample of 302 students. Data were analyzed using SPSS v.21 and AMOS v.22 through exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, reliability analyses, test-retest analysis, and correlational validity testing. The exploratory factor analysis (EFA) showed that the CompACT consisted of three factors (Openness to Experience, Behavioral Awareness, and Valued Action) explaining 75.848% of the total variance, comprising 20 items. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) showed that the three-factor model provided the best fit to the data (χ²/df = 2.590, CFI = 0.963, TLI = 0.956, RMSEA = 0.073). The scale demonstrated satisfactory internal consistency (overall alpha = 0.843) and temporal stability (test-retest r > 0.70 across all subscales), and its expected negative associations with the Acceptance and Action Questionnaire-II (r = −0.365) and the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales-21 (r = −0.403) supported its criterion-related validity.

  When grief persists online: Development of the Digital Prolonged Grief Severity Scale

  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.

  Psychometric Validation of the Turkish Version of the Personalized Psychological Flexibility Index (T-PPFI) in Disaster Search and Rescue Volunteers

  Çınar, Öznur; Cengiz, Ekrem

  This study aimed to perform a cross-cultural adaptation of the English version of the Personalized Psychological Flexibility Index into Turkish (T-PPFI). It was conducted among 604 disaster search and rescue volunteers who participated in the 2023 Kahramanmaraş earthquakes in Türkiye. Exploratory factor analysis supported a three-factor, 15-item structure, and confirmatory factor analysis indicated good fit for the three-factor model. Convergent and divergent validity were supported by a positive correlation with the Comprehensive Assessment of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Processes (CompACT) and negative correlations with the Acceptance and Action Questionnaire-II (AAQ-II) and the Depression Anxiety and Stress Scales-21 (DASS-21). The T-PPFI showed acceptable internal consistency (total score α= .727; ω= .712) and high test-retest reliability over 14 days (r= .962). Gender measurement invariance analyses supported comparability of T-PPFI scores across men and women. Hierarchical regression analyses provided evidence for the incremental validity of the T-PPFI beyond AAQ-II and CompACT in predicting DASS-21 outcomes, and higher-order EFA supported construct-level discriminant validity. The findings suggest that the 15-item T-PPFI is a reliable and valid measure of psychological flexibility in Turkish disaster search and rescue volunteers. All rights reserved.

  Factors Influencing Coordination Dynamics in Disaster Response: Governance Insights from the 2023 Kahramanmaraş Earthquakes

  Camurcu, Melike; Oral, Vildan; Cengiz, Ekrem

  Following the 2023 Kahramanmaraş-centered earthquakes in Türkiye, multi-actor and multi-sectoral response structures were implemented, creating significant challenges in coordination. Accordingly, the current study aims to assess the factors affecting intra- and inter-team coordination in disaster response processes, as well as the factors that negatively impact coordination activities, and to propose recommendations for improvement. The study is based on data collection from expert participants working at the disaster coordination center using qualitative research methods. Thematic analysis was used in the analysis of interview data, and coordination problems were identified as arising from seven main themes. The results highlight the importance of reducing centralization, modular training, empowering local actors, horizontal organization, delegation of authority, and participatory governance models.

  Afete Hazırlık Davranışlarına Etki Eden Faktörlerinin İncelenmesi: Bir Yapısal Eşitlik Modellemesi

  Cengiz, Ekrem; Oral, Ildan

  Afetler açısından riskli ülkelerden olan Türkiye’de yapılan mevzuat değişiklikleri, kurulan sistemler, yürütülen eğitim kampanyaları ile güvenlik açığını ortadan kaldırmak adına yapılan çalışmalar süreklilik arz etmesine rağmen toplumda kendi değer yargıları çerçevesinde oluşturulmuş bir afet hazırlığının eksikliği kendini göstermektedir. Bu bağlamda araştırmanın amacı afet hazırlık davranışlarına etki ettiği varsayılan değer, inanç ve tutum değişkenleri arasındaki ilişkiyi ortaya koyan yapısal bir model oluşturmaktır. Çalışmaya İzmir ilinde ikamet eden 18 yaş ve üzeri bireylerden basit seçkisiz örnekleme metodu kullanılarak belirlenen 800 kişi dahil edilmiştir. Veri toplama aracı olarak; 64 soru 5 bölümden oluşan anket formu kullanılmıştır. Araştırma soruları 5’li Likert ölçeği ile değerlendirilmiştir. Araştırma kapsamında açımlayıcı faktör analizi ve güvenilirlik analizlerinde SPSS 21.0, ölçüm modelinin oluşturulması, yapısal eşitlik modelinin test edilmesi, uyum indekslerinin belirlenmesi ve doğrudan-dolaylı etkilerin tespit edilmesinde AMOS 24.0 programı kullanılmıştır. Çalışma sonuçları afet hazırlık inançlarının afet hazırlık değerleri, afet hazırlık tutumları ve afet hazırlık davranışlarını doğrudan pozitif yönde etkilediğini; afet hazırlık değerlerinin afet hazırlık davranışlarını doğrudan ve dolaylı olarak pozitif yönde etkilediğini; afet hazırlık tutumlarının afet hazırlık davranışlarını pozitif yönde doğrudan veya dolaylı yönde etkilemediğini göstermiştir. Araştırma sonuçlarına dayanarak afet hazırlık davranışlarında köklü değişiklikler yapılarak toplumda bir afet kültürünün oluşturulup yaygınlaştırılması önerilmektedir.

  Relation Between Service Failure Recovery Strategies, Perceived Service Quality and Perception of Corporate Image: Accommodation Establishments Example

  Akdu, Serap; Cengiz, Ekrem

  Purpose – Businesses need to be able to meet changing customer demands in order to be able to sustain their assets in the face of intense competition. To this end, businesses need to make a difference by paying greater attention to issues such as service quality and corporate image that are important to customers, as well as to compensate for service failures, which have become important in recent years. In the literature, it is emphasized that compensation strategies applied by businesses after customer complaints affect customer service quality and corporate image perceptions. In this study, it is aimed to determine the effect of each service failure compensation strategy applied in the tourism sector on customer perceptions of service quality and corporate image perceptions. Design/methodology/approach – The research was designed as a quantitative research, and the questionnaire method was chosen to learn the opinions of the participants on the subject. Percentage, frequency, reliability, factor analysis and structural equation modeling were used in the analysis of the data obtained. Findings – According to the results of the study, it was determined that the apology strategy affected customers' perceptions of service quality and institutional image perceptions positively. Also service quality perceptions have positively affects on corporate image perception. Discussion – It is known that tourists report their experiences to the business about service failure in accommodation businesses through complaints. In addition that service failure negatively affects the service quality and corporate image perceptions of businesses. Therefore, it is considered important to take into account tourist complaints and to compensate for service failure. When the findings are evaluated, it is seen that the apology strategy, especially one of the service failure compensation strategies, is important. It is important for accommodation businesses to effectively manage the complaint process and use all compensation strategies, especially the apology strategy, in order to compensate for service failure which negatively affects their quality and image perceptions.
