Article Citation - WoS: 0Citation - Scopus: 0The Relationship Between Perfectionism and Stress Generation: the Moderating Role of Looming Cognitive Style(Springer, 2025) Abdulcebbar, Amal; Altan-Atalay, AyseThe stress generation hypothesis suggests that certain maladaptive personality traits significantly contribute to the generation of negative life events (NLEs) in people's lives through inherent maladaptive mechanisms. Previous research indicated that the impact of stress generating risk factors might be augmented or weakened by other transdiagnostic risk factors such as the looming cognitive style (LCS) which includes physical and social looming that have been found to predict different domains of life stressors. Therefore, the present study aimed to examine the moderating roles of the dimensions of the LCS separately, in the relationship between perfectionism (i.e., socially prescribed perfectionism) and stress generation in a group of emerging adults. One-hundred and ninety nine (134 females) undergraduate students aged 18-25 (M = 20.23, SD = 1.56) completed an online questionnaire that measured their level of perfectionism, LCS, and NLEs twice over a six-week interval. The results showed that only social looming significantly moderated the relationship between socially prescribed perfectionism (SPP) and interpersonal NLEs at time 2. These findings show the augmenting impact of social looming on the stress generating effect of elevated SPP, highlighting the importance of examining co-occuring vulnerabilities rather than single risk factors in the stress generation process.Article Citation - WoS: 0Citation - Scopus: 0The Roles of Intolerance of Uncertainty and Mindfulness in Psychological Distress: a Two-Wave Longitudinal Study(Springer, 2024) Altan-Atalay, Ayse; Abdulcebbar, Amal; Kantarci, Lacin; Yilmaz, ErturkIntolerance of uncertainty (IU) is a vulnerability factor that is believed to play a significant role in the development and maintenance of many affective disorders. Previous research indicated that the strength of the association between IU and psychological distress tend to change depending on certain trait characteristics. Therefore, the current study aimed to examine whether the interaction between IU and mindfulness will prospectively predict anxiety and depression measured five weeks later. The data were collected from 243 university students (129 female) between ages 18 and 29 at two different time points via questionnaires assessing intolerance of uncertainty, mindfulness, anxiety, and depression at time 1, followed by only measures of anxiety and depression at time 2. The results revealed that higher IU scores were associated with higher levels of depression for the participants who have low levels of mindfulness. A similar pattern was not observed for anxiety. The findings indicated that mindfulness prospectively predicts lower levels of depression only for the individuals who have lower levels of intolerance of uncertainty.
