Narsisizm türleri ve psikolojik iyilik hali arasındaki ilişki: duyguların ve duygu düzenleme güçlüklerinin rolü.

The aims of this study were (1) to examine the possible effects of age and gender on the subtypes of narcissism, emotions, emotion regulation difficulties, and psychological well-being; (2) to examine the variables associated with emotions, emotion regulation difficulties, and psychological well-being; and (3) to investigate the mediating role of emotions and emotion regulation difficulties between the subtypes of narcissism and psychological well-being. To achieve these aims, 559 participants aged 18 to 75 took part in this study. The results revealed that grandiose narcissism was positively associated with pride, impulsivity and strategies domains of difficulties in emotion regulation. Except pride and anger control, vulnerable narcissism was positively associated with emotions and emotion regulation difficulties. From emotions, shame and anger-in were found to be associated with the difficulties in controlling impulses and finding effective strategies while the feeling of pride was associated with the low levels of emotion regulation difficulties. Vulnerable narcissism was positively associated with psychopathological symptoms and negatively associated with satisfaction with life. Grandiose narcissism and pride were found to be positively associated with satisfaction with life. Finally, shame, anger, emotion regulation difficulties, and pride had mediator roles in the relationship between vulnerable narcissism and psychopathological symptoms. Anger, difficulties in emotion regulation, and pride also mediated the relationship between grandiose narcissism and psychopathological symptoms. Pride mediated the relationship between both narcissistic subtypes and satisfaction with life. Therefore, these emotions and emotion regulation difficulties seem to have an importance in the understanding of narcissistic subtypes and their relation to psychological health.M.S. - Master of Scienc

Ev tipi buzdolaplarında kuru yaşlandırma yönteminin uygulanması.

Since the popularity of meat aging applications is increasing from day to day in commercial cases or in restaurants, consumers are more aware of the quality enhancement obtained by aging and are more willing to apply aging at home by using their existing refrigerator. For this reason, it was aimed to examine the possibility of dry aging in home-type refrigerators. The combined effects of dry aging conditions (air flow rate and aging period) in a specially designed compartment of home-type refrigerators on meat quality were studied. Paired boneless rib steaks fulfilling US Choice degree standards (n = 48) were obtained from calf carcasses having maturity of A class. Rib steaks taken from carcasses were randomly assigned to one of twelve aging treatments (0.50 m/s ; 0.75 m/s ; 1.00 m/s fan speed and 7, 14, 21 or 28 days of aging period) and kept at temperatures of 0 ± 0.5 °C and humidity averaged 80 ± 4 % during the total aging period. As a novel analysis method, image processing was used for shrinkage analysis and NMR relaxometry was applied to examine internal changes. Besides, microbial analysis (total aerobic bacteria, yeast and mold populations), pH change, water holding capacity (WHC), Warner-Bratzler Shear Force (WBSF), moisture content, trim and cook loss, weight loss, color change, peroxide, p-Anisidine and vi TBARs values were examined to determine physical and chemical changes during aging period. According to the findings; for chemical analysis, time effect was dominant when compared to fan speed effect. Besides, after 21 days a sharp rise was observed in terms of TBARS and p.A.V meaning that rate of oxidation increased after 21 days. NMR T1 and T2 relaxation times were also affected from aging at different conditions and correlated with WHC and moisture content. For physical analysis, both fan speed and aging time were effective on physical quality and with increasing time and fan speed, yield decreased causing economic loss. From another aspect, water holding capacity had the top value on 21 days of aging. In addition, Aerobic plate count pressed in upon limit value in case of 28 days of aging.M.S. - Master of Scienc

Genç yeti̇şki̇nlerde ki̇şi̇li̇k bozukluğu i̇nançlarının oluşumu ve aktarımında ai̇lesel ve psi̇kodi̇nami̇k faktörler

The main goal of this study is to investigate the psychodynamic factors (i.e., separation-individuation difficulties, proneness to shame and anger) and related familial dynamics (i.e., perceived parenting practices, role reversal experiences with parents, parental personality disorder beliefs) that contribute to the formation of distorted personality beliefs (i.e., "deprecating", "inflated", and "ambivalent") in young adults. In the first study, the psychometric characteristics of "Relationship with Parents Scale" (RPS) retrospectively measuring the role reversal experiences of individuals with their parents were tested on a sample consisting of 319 participants aged between 18 and 63 (M = 32.75, SD = 10.68). The reliability and validity of the Turkish RPS were satisfactory. In the second study, the relations among the measures of the study and the mediating role of early parental experiences of the offspring in the transmission of personality disorder beliefs from parents to the offspring were investigated. The sample of this study composed of 535 young adults (381 females, 154 males) with the ages of 18 and 25 (M = 20.51, SD = 1.75) and their mothers and fathers. Personality belief categories showed both distinctive and similar features concerning early rearing styles, role reversion, emotions, and separation-individuation difficulties in young adults. Moreover, the poor parental experiences had a mediating role in the transmission of personality disorder beliefs from mothers to daughters and from fathers to sons. The findings were discussed under the consideration of existing literature as well as strengths and limitations of the study and directions for future studies.Bu çalışmanın temel amacı genç yetişkinlerde çarpıtılmış kişilik inançlarının oluşmasına katkıda bulunan psikodinamik (ayrışma-bireyleşme güçlükleri, utanç ve öfke yatkınlığı) ve ilişkili ailesel faktörleri (erken dönem algılanan ebeveynlik biçimleri, ebeveynler ile rol değişim deneyimleri, ebeveynlerdeki kişilik bozukluğu inançları) araştırmaktır. Bu kapsamda, ilk çalışmada, bireylerin çocukluk ve ergenlik döneminde anne ve babaları ile rol değiştirme deneyimlerini ölçen Ebeveynlerle İlişki Ölçeğinin (EBÖ) psikometrik özellikleri, 18-63 yaş arası (O = 32.75, SS = 10.68) 319 katılımcıdan oluşan bir örneklem üzerinde test edilmiştir. Türkçe ölçeğin güvenirlik ve geçerlik değerleri tatmin edici düzeyde bulunmuştur. İkinci çalışmada ise araştırmanın değişkenleri arasındaki ilişkiler ve çocuğun ebeveynleri ile olan erken dönem yaşantılarının kişilik bozukluğu inançlarının ebeveynden çocuğa aktarılmasındaki aracı rolü araştırılmıştır. Bu çalışmanın örneklemini, 18 ve 25 yaşlarındaki (O = 20.51, SS = 1.75) 535 genç yetişkin (381 kadın, 154 erkek) ve onların anne ve babaları oluşturmuştur. Araştırmanın sonuçları, farklı kişilik bozukluğu inanç biçimlerinin, erken dönem yetiştirilme tarzları, ebeveynler ile rol değişim öyküsü, duygusal yatkınlıklar ve de ayrışma-bireyleşme güçlükleri bakımından hem benzer hem farklılaşan özellikler sergilediğini göstermiştir. Bunun yanı sıra anne ve babalardaki kişilik bozukluğu inançlarının, çocuklarının erken dönem ebeveynlik yaşantıları ile cinsiyete özgü bir şekilde ilişkilendiği görülmüştür. Olumsuz erken dönem ebeveynlik yaşantılarının kişilik bozukluğu inançlarının annelerden kızlarına, babalardan oğullarına aktarılmasında aracılık rolü oynadığı bulunmuştur. Çalışmanın bulguları, mevcut literatürün yanı sıra çalışmanın güçlü yönleri ve sınırlılıkları ve gelecekteki çalışmalar için öneriler dikkate alınarak tartışılmıştır.Ph.D. - Doctoral Progra

Ön Çapraz Bağ Rekonstrüksiyonu Geçiren Rekreasyonel Sporcularda İzokinetik Diz Kas Kuvvetinin Yaşam Kalitesi, Spora Dönüş ve Günlük Yaşam Aktiviteleri ile İlişkisi

Akıncı, I., Association Between Isokinetic Knee Strength And Quality Of Life, Return To Sports and Activities of Daily Living In Recreational Athletes Undergoing Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction, Hacettepe University, Graduate School of Health Sciences, Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Program, MSc. Thesis, Ankara, 2019. The aim of this study was to compare the isokinetic knee muscle strength between patients who had anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACL-R) with autogenous hamstring tendon graft in long-term postoperative phase and healthy individuals of the same age, and to investigate the correlation between isokinetic muscle strength and quality of life, return to sport and daily living activities of patients with ACL-R. Twenty-three male patients aged 18- 40 years with at least postoperative 1 year and as 23 healthy male subjects as control group were included in the study. The muscular strength of the individuals assessed with ISOMED 2000 isokinetic dynamometer, quality of life assessed with Anterior Cruciate Ligament Quality of Life Questionnaire (ACL-QOL), return to sports assessed with Anterior Cruciate Ligament Return to Sport After Injury Questionnaire (ACL-RSI) and daily activities assessed with Forgotten Joint Score-12 (FJS-12). At angular velocities of 60°/s and 180°/s; hamstring muscle strength and endurance in ACL-R group were lower than the control group (p=0.035; p=0.029); at 60°/s angular velocity, there was no difference in the strength of quadriceps femoris muscle between the groups (p=0.173) and at 180°/s angular velocity, quadriceps femoris muscle endurance in ACL-R group was lower than control group (p = 0.036). In ACL-R group, ACL-QOL, ACL-RSI and FJS-12 scores were lower than in the literature. In ACL-R group, at 60°/s and 180°/s angular velocities, there was no correlation between quadriceps femoris and hamstring muscle strength and return to sports (ACL-RSI) scores (r=-0.269, p=0.215; r=-0.277, p=0.201; r=-0.231, p=0.288; r=-0.271, p=0.211). There was also no correlation between muscle strength and quality of life (ACL-QOL) scores (r=-0.034, p=0.879; r=-0.235, p=0.280; r=-0.024, p=0.914; r=-0.259, p=0.233); and daily living activity (FJS-12) scores (r=-0.333, p=0.121; r=-0.244, p=0.263; r=-0.083, p=0.706; r=-0.179, p=0.414). In conclusion, considering the long-term results of individuals after ACL-R; in the rehabilitation process, it is not enough to improve only muscle strength, but it is also necessary to encourage recreational athletes to be psychologically ready to return to sports, to improve their quality of life and to contribute to adaptation to daily life by minimizing joint awareness.

Bu çalışmanın amacı, hamstring tendon otogrefti ile ön çapraz bağ cerrahisi (ÖÇB-R) geçirmiş, cerrahi sonrası uzun dönemde rekreasyonel sporcularda izokinetik diz kas kuvvetini aynı yaştaki sağlıklı kişilerle karşılaştırmak ve ÖÇB-R geçiren bireylerin izokinetik kas kuvveti ile yaşam kalitesi, spora dönüş ve günlük yaşam aktiviteleri puanları arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemektir. Çalışmaya ÖÇB-R grubu olarak; ÖÇB-R sonrası en az 1. yılı dolmuş olan, 18-40 yaşları arasında 23 erkek birey ve kontrol grubu olarak aynı yaştaki 23 sağlıklı erkek birey dahil edildi. Bireylerin kas kuvveti ISOMED 2000 izokinetik dinamometre ile, yaşam kalitesi Ön Çapraz Bağ Yaşam Kalitesi Ölçeği (ACL-QOL) ile, spora dönüşü Ön Çapraz Bağ Yaralanması Sonrası Spora Dönüş Ölçeği (ACL-RSI) ile, günlük yaşam aktiviteleri ise Unutulan Eklem Skoru Anketi (UES-12) ile değerlendirildi. ÖÇB-R grubunda hamstring kas kuvveti ve enduransı 60°/s ve 180°/s açısal hızlarında kontrol grubuna göre daha düşüktü (p=0,035; p=0,029); gruplar arasında 60°/s açısal hızda, quadriceps femoris kas kuvveti açısından fark yoktu (p=0,173); 180°/s açısal hızda ise, ÖÇB-R grubunda quadriceps femoris kas enduransı kontrol grubuna göre daha düşüktü (p=0,036). ÖÇB-R geçiren bireylerin ACL-QOL, ACL-RSI ve UES-12 ölçeklerinden aldıkları puanlar literatürdeki örneklerinden daha düşüktü. ÖÇB-R grubunda 60°/s ve 180°/s açısal hızlarda, quadriceps femoris ve hamstring kas kuvveti ile spora dönüş (ACL-RSI) puanları arasında (r=-0,269, p=0,215; r=-0,277, p=0,201; r=-0,231, p=0,288; r=-0.271, p=0,211); yaşam kalitesi (ACL-QOL) puanları arasında (r=-0,034, p=0,879; r=-0,235, p=0,280; r=-0,024, p=0,914; r=- 0,259, p=0,233) ve günlük yaşam aktiviteleri (UES-12) puanları arasında (r=-0,333, p=0,121; r=-0,244, p=0,263; r=-0,083, p=0,706; r=-0,179, p=0,414) ilişki bulunmadı. Sonuç olarak, ÖÇB-R sonrası bireylerin uzun dönem sonuçları düşünüldüğünde; rehabilitasyon sürecinde, yalnızca kas kuvvetini geliştirmek yeterli değildir, bunun yanı sıra rekreasyonel spor yapan bireyleri spora dönüşe psikolojik olarak hazır olmaları için teşvik etmek, yaşam kalitelerini arttırmak ve eklem farkındalığını en aza indirerek günlük yaşama adaptasyonlarına katkıda bulunmak da gereklidir.

Common and discriminant features of vulnerable and grandiose narcissism from the perspective of self-conscious emotions and anger.

Despite its rich theoretical and empirical background, narcissism has remained as a complex construct to define. In the literature, it was mainly depicted in two forms, namely grandiose and vulnerable narcissism (Wink, 1991). Studies mostly indicated that these two constructs diverged in many aspects (Miller et al., 2011). However, factors resulting in these two images of narcissism has not been not well defined. Thus, this study aimed to understand vulnerable and grandiose narcissism from the perspective of self-conscious emotions and anger. The results of the regression analyses, conducted with 559 adult participants revealed that after controlling for the variance accounted for by age and gender; both vulnerable and grandiose narcissism were positively associated with trait anger and externalized anger; and though pride was the third common feature while grandiose narcissism revealed a positive association with pride, vulnerable narcissism had a negative association with this self-conscious emotion. Other than these features, vulnerable narcissism was positively associated with shame and internalized anger, whereas grandiose narcissism revealed insignificant associations with these emotions. The findings revealed some distinguishing patterns as well as common grounds between two subtypes of narcissistic character styles. Clinical implications, suggestions for future studies, and limitations were discussed in the light of the current literature

Optimism, Cancer Patients’ Depressive Symptoms, and Quality of Life: Mediating Role of Cancer Related Self-efficacy

It was well established that optimistic attitudes in cancer patients predict better psychological and physical adjustment to the illness both during and after the treatment (Mazanec, Daly, Douglas, & Lipson, 2010; Bozo, Gündoğdu, & Büyükaşık-Çolak, 2009). Previous studies indicated that optimism is indirectly associated with cancer patients' quality of life (QOL) through coping styles and appraisals used by the patients (Schou, Ekeberg, & Ruland, 2005). To understand whether there are other psychological mechanisms underlying the relation of optimism with quality of life and depressive symptoms of cancer patients, the current study aimed to investigate the mediator role of cancer related selfefficacy. One hundred and twenty cancer patients participated in the study and Life Orientations Test-Revised, Cancer Behavior Inventory, Beck Depression Inventory, and Multidimensional Quality of Life Scale–Cancer were administered to them. Results revealed that of the four self-efficacy domains, only the one related to maintaining activity and independence mediated the optimism-QOL and optimism-depression relations. These findings highlighted the importance of patients' beliefs in their ability to sustain their daily activities for having better physical and psychological well-being
