    Examining Actor-Partner Effects Between Social Dominance, Relationship Power, Sexism, and Marital Quality
    (Wiley, 2023) Ymamgulyyeva, Aysoltan; Kafescioglu, Niluefer; Harma, Mehmet
    Objective: This study aimed to investigate the actor-partner effects of attitudes toward group-based inequality as measured by social dominance orientation (SDO) and marital quality, and the indirect actor-partner effects of SDO on marital quality via ambivalent sexism and partners' perceptions of their own relationship power toward their partner. Background: Previous research suggests that certain social attitudes play a role in relationship processes. However, it is unclear whether broader views on social inequality could have an effect on partners' marital quality. Method: Ninety heterosexual married couples in Turkey (N = 180) responded via an online survey on SDO, marital quality, relationship power, and ambivalent sexism. Actorpartner interdependence model (APIM) and actor-partner interdependence model of mediation (APIMeM) were conducted to examine the direct and indirect actor-partner effects. Results: For indirect effects, men's SDO was negatively associated with their marital quality through their relationship power and hostile sexism. No significant indirect effects were found for women. However, women's relationship power was positively and their benevolent sexism was negatively associated with their own and their partners' marital quality. Conclusion: Our findings help develop a more comprehensive understanding of how the political, social, and personal aspects of our lives are connected with one another. Implications: Our study points to the importance of exploring the topic of men's and women's views toward social inequality and its effects on their close relationships in clinical practice and relational education.

    The Relationship Between Attachment To God Prosociality and Image of God
    (Sage Publications Ltd, 2018) Bayramoğlu, Yunus; Harma, Mehmet; Yılmaz, Onurcan
    Although religiosity fosters some antisocial behaviors (e.g. support for suicide attacks) it is well-known that it also enhances in-group cooperation and prosociality (e.g. donating to charity). Supernatural punishment hypothesis suggests that the fear of punishment from an invisible potent and powerful supernatural agent can keep everyone in line and encourage prosociality. We first investigated this relationship in a predominantly Muslim country and then tested a model suggesting that attachment to God can lead people to think God as authoritarian which in turn leads them to report more prosocial intentions. The results demonstrate that (1) there are some findings suggesting that Attachment to God Inventory is a reliable measure in Turkey (2) seeing God as authoritarian is positively correlated with prosociality and (3) our abovementioned model was supported by the data. Results generally support the supernatural punishment hypothesis and additionally show the utility of attachment theory in explaining the religiosity-prosociality link.

    Different Types of Religiosity and Lay Intuitions About Free Will/Determinism in Turkey
    (Routledge Journals Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2018) Yılmaz, Onurcan; Bahçekapılı, Hasan G.; Harma, Mehmet
    Religiosity has been found to be positively associated with belief in free will (FW) in the Western world. In the Muslim world however religiosity exhibits several characteristics that set it apart from the Western world including an overemphasis on fate or divine predestination. We therefore investigated FW/determinism beliefs and different types of religiosity and conservatism in two samples in Turkey a predominantly Muslim country (N=1690). In Study 1 a confirmatory factor analysis showed that FAD-Plus provided good fit to the data. Study 2 revealed that FW belief is not related to any of the religiosity measures (intrinsic extrinsic quest) whereas fatalistic determinism is consistently related to religiosity. The unique predictor of free will turned out to be belief in a just world. Overall these findings indicate that FW belief is not inherently related to religiosity in Turkey whereas fatalistic determinism is central to Turkish people's belief systems.

    The Mediator Role of Willingness To Sacrifice in the Association Between Socio-Economic Status and Relationship Satisfaction
    (Springer, 2023) Topal, Mustafa Anil; Aktas, Busra Eylem; Basoglu, Selim; Harma, Mehmet
    This study aimed to investigate the potential underlying mechanisms for why couples from lower socioeconomic status (SES) tend to experience poor-quality romantic relationships from two distinct perspectives: the self-protection hypothesis and social class from a culture perspective. We examined the indirect effect of willingness to sacrifice personal interests on the association between SES and relationship satisfaction using a representative sample from Turkey through cross-sectional self-report scales (N = 1170; M-age=47.44; SD = 11.68). Participants completed a series of questions, including willingness to sacrifice, relationship satisfaction, and SES questions. Multiple regression analyses revealed that willingness to sacrifice did not have a buffering or facilitator role in the association between SES and relationship satisfaction. These findings suggest that willingness to sacrifice is essential for relationship satisfaction regardless of SES. Overall, this study contributes to understanding the role of willingness to sacrifice in romantic relationships and its relationship with SES.

    Romantik Çiftlerde Doğal İletişim Profilleri ve Bunların İlişkisel Sonuçlarla Bağlantılarını Ortaya Çıkarmak: Sözel ve Sözel Olmayan İletişim İpuçları Üzerine Bir Çalışma
    (2023) Bereket, Kevser; Harma, Mehmet
    Çiftlerin nasıl iletişim kurdukları daha önce kapsamlı araştırmalarla farklı yönleriyle ele alınmış ve ilişkinin doyumuyla yakından ilişkili olduğu ortaya konulmuştur. Ancak çiftlerin olumlu iletişim tarzları sergilemeleri, her zaman ilişkilerinden memnun oldukları anlamına gelmediği gibi, olumsuz iletişim biçimleri de ilişkilerin biteceğine işaret etmeyebilir. Ayrıca, mevcut olumsuz iletişim biçimlerinin gelecekteki ilişki doyumunu yordadığını gösteren araştırmalar da literatürde zaman içerisinde daha yaygın olmaya başlamıştır. Daha önceki çalışmaların çelişkili bulgulara ulaştığı göz önüne alındığında, çiftlerin farklı konuşma koşullarındaki (Çatışma, Pozitif Anı Paylaşımı, Mürekkep Lekeleri Üzerine Nötr Konuşma) iletişimini boylamsal şekilde incelememiz alandaki bu çelişkiyi daha kişi odaklı analiz yöntemleriyle aydınlatmak üzerine yoğunlaşmıştır. 3 farklı konuşma koşulunda sergilenen hem sözel (Duygulanım ve Bilişsellik Kelimeleri Kullanımı) hem de sözel olmayan (Sıra Alma Davranışları) göstergeleri kullanarak yaptığımız araştırma sonucunda 2 ayrı çift profiline ulaştık: İşbirlikçi-Tutkulu Çiftler ve Pragmatik Çiftler. Nötr ve pozitif konuşma koşullarında İşbirlikçi-Tutkulu çiftlerin Pragmatik çiftlere kıyasla üç ay sonra daha yüksek ilişki kalitesi bildirdiği sonucuna ulaştık. Sonuç olarak, bu tez çalışması, sözel ipuçlarının yanı sıra sözel olmayan iletişim ipuçlarının ve kişi tabanlı sınıflandırma yöntemlerinin kullanımının önemini vurgulamaktadır.

    Interaction Between Varying Social Ties on Health: Perceived Partner Responsiveness and Institutional Trust
    (John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2024) Tosyali, Furkan; Harma, Mehmet
    The interplay between different forms of social relationships, that is, perceived partner responsiveness and institutional trust, on subjective health evaluations was examined for the first time. There were 1241 respondents who had a romantic relationship. After adjusting for the covariates, findings suggested that greater perceived partner responsiveness and institutional trust led respondents to report better subjective health. The positive link between perceived partner responsiveness and subjective health was more pronounced among the respondents reporting a lower level of institutional trust. Such an interaction could be an indicator pointing out the compensatory role of close relationship dynamics. Given that finding, public health authorities and practitioners could be encouraged to be aware of the adaptive function of social ties on health and focus on maintaining the strength of intimate social ties and building trust between authority gradients. This suggestion could especially be adaptive not only during "normal" times but also during post-disaster circumstances (e.g., COVID-19).

    Executive Function and Theory of Mind as Predictors of Socially Withdrawn Behavior in Institutionalized Children
    (Wiley, 2018) Selçuk, Bilge; Yavuz, H. Melis; Etel, Evren; Harma, Mehmet; Ruffman, Ted
    False belief understanding and executive functions are two main sociocognitive abilities reliably linked to child social competence. Although institution reared children are especially at risk for behavioral problems and cognitive delays, the role that executive function and false belief understanding might play in the social withdrawal of institutionalized children has not been examined. The current study used twöwave data to investigate the concurrent and longitudinal relations of social withdrawal with executive function and false belief understanding in institutionalized children; it also allowed investigation of the directionality between executive function and false belief understanding. Data were collected from 66 Turkish children (T1 M = 57.83 months, SD = 9.20; T2 M = 69.58 months, SD = 8.45) residing in institutions, at two time points, approximately 1 year apart. We measured false belief understanding and executive function via individual assessments, and social withdrawal via care provider reports at both time points. Results showed that both executive function and false belief understanding increased between T1 and T2, while social withdrawal did not show a significant change. Path analysis revealed that when T1 age and language were controlled, T1 executive function predicted T2 executive function, and in turn, T2 executive function predicted lessened social withdrawal at T2. In addition, T1 executive function predicted T2 false belief understanding. T1 false belief understanding was not related to T2 false belief understanding, executive function, or social withdrawal. Findings suggested that executive function is an important predictor of social withdrawal in high risk populations.

    Negative Life Events, Behavior Problems and Self-Regulation of Adolescents From Low Socio-Economic Status;
    (Turkish Psychological Association, 2017) Metin,G.; Harma,M.; Goksay,G.; Bahçivan-Saydam,R.
    The aim of the study was to examine the relationship between negative life events and emotional-behavioral problems among adolescents from low SES; and the mediator role of self-regulation (SR) in this relationship. The study consisted of a sample of 358 7th and 8th grade-students living in Esenler neighborhood, Istanbul. Students were asked to complete a series of questionnaires, including Demographic Information Form, Life Events Checklist, Self-Regulation Inventory and Youth Self Report (YSR). Path Analysis was run to examine the associations between negative life events and intemalizing-externalizing problems via self-regulation. Stability of these relationships across gender was also examined by multiple-group path analysis. Results showed that negative life events predicted both internalizing and externalizing problems directly and indirectly via self-regulation. As the number of negative life events increased, the level of self-regulation skills deteriorated, in turn, it predicted internalizing and externalizing problems. Negative life events more strongly predicted internalizing problems than externalizing problems, whereas self-regulation more strongly predicted externalizing problems than internalizing problems. Besides, the relationship between negative life events and emotional-behavioral problems, and the mediator role of self-regulation in the link between negative life events and problem behaviors did not change across gender. These findings were discussed in relation to the relevant literature focusing on the indicators and outcomes of self-regulation skills among adolescents. © 2017 Turkish Psychological Association.

    Kama Muta ve Bakım Verme Davranış Sistemi İkincil Stratejileri Arasındaki İlişki
    (2023) Ayvaz, Bilge Nur; Harma, Mehmet
    Bu çalışmada bakımverme davranış sistemleri ikincil stratejileri ile kama muta duygusu arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Günlük hayatta kurulan ebeveyn-çocuk veya romantik ilişkiler gibi birçok ilişkide taraflar birbirlerine karşı bakımverme davranışı sergileyebilirler. Bu davranışların ortaya çıkması ile ilişkili olabilecek birçok farklı değişkenden birisi de duygulardır. Literatürde yakın zamanda araştırılmaya başlanan ve komünal paylaşımın yoğun olarak hissedilmesiyle ortaya çıkan kama muta duygusunun bağlantılı olduğu düşünülen yardım etme davranışı ve özgeci davranış gibi kavramlarla olan ilişkisi de düşünüldüğünde bireylerin bakımverme davranış stratejileriyle ilişkili olabileceği öngörülmüştür. Bakımvermenin ikincil stratejilerinden olan ve ihtiyaç olmasa bile yoğun şekilde bakımverme eğilimi göstermek olarak tanımlanabilecek hiperaktivasyon stratejisi ile komünal paylaşımın yoğunlaşmasıyla ortaya çıkan kama muta duygusunun ilişkili olabileceği ve bireylerin kama muta duygusunu hissetme derecelerinin yaş, cinsiyet, romantik ilişki durumu ve çocuk sahibi olma durumu kontrol edildiğinde hiperaktivasyon stratejisini kullanma davranışlarını yordayacağı öne sürülmüştür. Çalışma hipotezleri veri toplamadan önce kayıt ettirilmiştir. Araştırmaya katılan 533 katılımcının demografik bilgilerinin yanında pozitif ve negative duygulanımları, kama muta hissetme sıklıkları ve bakımverme stratejileri verileri online platform Qualtrics üzerinden özbildirim yoluyla yanıtladıkları anketler aracılığıyla toplanmıştır. Yapılan hiyerarşik regresyon analizi sonucunda yaş, cinsiyet, romantik ilişki durumu ve çocuk sahibi olma durumları kontrol edildiğinde bireylerin kama muta hissetme eğilimlerinin hiperaktivasyon stratejisi kullanma davranışlarını yordadığı görülmüştür. Diğer değişkenler ve deaktivasyon stratejisi ilişkileri de incelenmiş, çalışmanın literatüre katkısı, kısıtlılıkları ve sonraki çalışmalar için öneriler çalışmanın sonuçları göz önünde bulundurularak tartışılmıştır.
