    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.

    Examining the Psychometric Properties of Four Mattering Constructs Through Rasch Modeling: Evidence From Turkish Adolescents and College Students
    (Wiley, 2026) Kaya, Alican; Green, Zane Asher; Sata, Mehmet; Yildirim, Murat; Sarigul, Abdulselami; Turk, Nuri; Duradoni, Mirko
    Background Mattering and anti-mattering are central constructs in understanding individual well-being. Traditionally, these concepts have been studied in offline social contexts. The rise of information and communication technologies has expanded the social environments in which individuals may feel valued or, conversely, insignificant. However, evidence on measurement invariance of these combined offline and online mattering scales for gender and different developmental stages remains limited in culturally diverse countries, including Turkey.Objectives This study aimed to validate four scales assessing both offline and online dimensions of mattering and anti-mattering-the General Mattering Scale, the Anti-Mattering Scale, the Online Mattering Scale, and the Online Anti-Mattering Scale-within a Turkish sample of adolescents and college students.Methods: Data were collected from 888 participants (high school students: n = 434, mean age = 15.51 +/- 1.02, 63.1% female; college students: n = 454, mean age = 21.10 +/- 1.67, 84.1% female). Confirmatory factor analyses (CFA) were conducted to examine the dimensional structure and reliability of the scales. Additionally, the Many-Facet Rasch Model (MFRM) was applied to test measurement invariance across educational levels and gender.Results CFA results indicated acceptable fit indices for all four scales across both groups, with reliability coefficients exceeding recommended thresholds. MFRM analyses further supported measurement invariance across high school and college students, as well as across male and female participants.Conclusion The four-scale set appears psychometrically sound for use with Turkish adolescents and emerging adults and is well-suited to capturing the complexity of contemporary hybrid social environments, where experiences of significance and neglect can occur both offline and online.

    Mediating Role of Loneliness in the Relationship between Digital Game Addiction and Phubbing in Adolescents
    (Assoc Serbian Psychologists, 2026) Turk, Nuri; Batmaz, Hasan; Kaya, Alican; Yildirim, Murat
    Phubbing has emerged as a prominent behavioural addiction in today's technological world. The COVID-19 pandemic also has important effects on the increase of digital addiction and loneliness of individuals. This study examined the mediating role of loneliness in the relationship between digital game addiction and phubbing behaviours. Data were collected from 445 (47% male and 53% female) high school students (M-age = 15.42, SD = 1.12). The results of the study showed that there were significant positive relationships between digital game addiction, phubbing, and loneliness. In addition, loneliness was found to have a mediating effect on the relationship between digital game addiction and phubbing. These results show that the role of loneliness, along with digital game addiction, is important in understanding the basic dynamics of phubbing behaviour. The prevention and intervention program that reduces loneliness can be implemented to mitigate the effects of digital game addiction on phubbing.

    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.

    Uncovering Latent Structures of School Belonging, Emotional Problems, Psychological Symptoms, Meaningful School, and Ostracism: A Latent Profile Analysis
    (Wiley, 2026) Dogrusever, Caner; Kurtulus, Hacer Yildirim; Kaya, Alican; Turk, Nuri; Yildirim, Murat
    Background Despite increasing interest in school belonging, few studies have applied person-centered approaches to explore how emotional and psychological factors interact within adolescent populations. This study aimed to identify latent profiles of adolescents based on their experiences of school belonging, emotional problems, psychological symptoms, meaningful school engagement, and ostracism.Method A multidimensional construct was developed, incorporating indicators such as ignorance, exclusion, somatization, depression, anxiety, purpose enjoyment, responsible understanding, and prosociality. A convenience sample of 749 adolescents (64.4% female; Mage = 15.27, SD = 1.25) was recruited. Latent profile analysis was conducted to uncover distinct student profiles.Results Four profiles emerged: (1) Distressed but Included-high emotional problems despite near-average ostracism; (2) Adaptive and Successful-high meaningful school engagement and prosociality with low emotional problems; (3) Balanced and Typical-normative levels across all indicators; and (4) Ostracized with Psychological Risk-the highest levels of ostracism and emotional problems.Conclusion School belonging plays a critical role in identifying psychological risk and resilience among adolescents. Latent profile analysis offers a nuanced framework for developing targeted interventions to support students' emotional and social well-being.

    What makes university students accept generative artificial intelligence? A moderated mediation model
    (Springernature, 2025) Turk, Nuri; Batuk, Barzan; Kaya, Alican; Yildirim, Oguzhan
    Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology developments are increasing the importance of accepting and utilizing generative AI. Higher Education is one of the most common areas where AI tools are used. University students use AI tools such as ChatGPT for various purposes (e.g., homework and projects). However, there is limited research on the factors affecting university students' acceptance of AI. AI-related technology and literacy skills are effective in promoting the acceptance of new technologies. Additionally, attitude towards AI and AI self-efficacy can promote the acceptance of AI. Within this context, this study tested a hypothetical model to examine the relationships among university students' attitude towards AI, AI literacy, AI self-efficacy, AI learning anxiety, and AI acceptance. Data were collected from 356 participants (265 females) with a mean of 22.71 (SD = +/- 3.72). Mediation and moderation analyses were used to examine the role of AI literacy, AI self-efficacy, and AI learning anxiety in the relationship between attitude towards AI and AI acceptance among Turkish university students. The research results showed that the relationship between attitude toward AI and acceptance of AI can be explained by AI literacy and AI self-efficacy. Moreover, AI learning anxiety can moderate the predictive role of students' attitudes towards AI on AI acceptance. The study broadens and enhances the educational AI literature related to the factors that complicate and facilitate AI acceptance.
