Öğe A Turkish Adaptation of the Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment: The Reliability and Validity Study(Ani Yayincilik, 2010) Kocayoruk, ErcanProblem Statement: Adolescent attachment with their parents has been explicitly considered in many studies, and a vast number of studies provide empirical evidence for the link between parental attachment and psychological well-being and adjustment in adolescence. Adolescents explore close and supportive relationships outside of their immediate family in this period, and attachment behavior is often directed beyond parental figures. Attachment theory provides a theoretical underpinning about the link between parent and child attachment style with peer-group functions and relationships. Therefore, in the current study, psychometric properties of the Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment were examined in a sample of subjects in middle adolescence (aged between 14 and 18 years). Purpose of the Study: The study aimed to examine the psychometric properties of the Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment developed by Armsden and Greenberg, Turkish version (IPPA-T), with a sample of subjects in middle adolescence (aged between 14 and 18 years). Methods: In the study, the reliability and validity of a three-dimension model of adolescents' attachment to mother, father and peer were examined. In order to determine how well the identified model of the original version of the IPPA fits the Turkish adaptation of IPPA (IPPA-T), a Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) were performed to understand the factor structure of IPPA-T. 315 high school students from Ankara, Turkey, participated in the study. Test-retest reliability was conducted using a Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient over a two-week interval. Finally, the validity analysis was conducted by correlating the total and subscale of IPPA-T scores with Positive and Negative Affect Scale and Self-Esteem Scale. Findings and Results: The results of the initial confirmatory factor analyses suggested that the original factor structure of the IPPA does not fit the data for adolescents' ratings of mothers, fathers and peer on the measures. The exploratory factor analyses revealed a new three-factor structure for IPPA with a shortened scale. The second confirmatory factor analyses demonstrated that the new three-factor model provides an acceptable fit. Conclusions and Recommendations: It was concluded that the IPPA-T constitutes a useful tool for the assessment of both parent and peer attachment in adolescents aged between 14 and 18 years. The findings of the current study provide a good starting point for further attachment instruments in the Turkish culture.Öğe Affective Reactions to One's Whole Life: Preliminary Development and Validation of the Ontological Well-Being Scale(Springer, 2013) Simsek, Omer Faruk; Kocayoruk, ErcanIn line with the perspective provided by the intentional paradigm which claims that the measures of subjective well-being (SWB), whether cognitive or affective, should refer to life itself, the Ontological Well-Being Scale (OWBS) has been operationalized. The research reported herein was aimed at developing and validating this psychometric tool in the assessment of individuals' affective evaluations of their life within a three-time perspective. Five studies were conducted to confirm the factor structure of the OWBS and to assess its construct validity. Four factors were derived and validated, which were shown to relate to mental health indicators and personality in expected ways. It was found that this new construct, in contrast with the current measures, did not tap into the personality factors of extraversion and neuroticism. Incremental validity results showed that the OWBS explained additional variance in mental health indicators already captured by the current measures of SWB.Öğe Higher-order Traits and Happiness in the Workplace: The Importance of Occupational Project Scale for the Evaluation of Characteristic Adaptations(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2017) Buruk, Pelin; Simsek, Omer Faruk; Kocayoruk, ErcanThis study attempts to explain the relationship between job satisfaction and the Big Two, Stability and Plasticity, which are the higher-order traits of Big Five. Occupational Project, a narrative construct, was considered a mediator variable in this relationship. Occupational Project consists of affective and cognitive evaluations of an individual's work life as a project in terms of the completed (past), the ongoing (present) and the prospective (future) parts. The survey method was applied to a sample of 253 participants. The results supported the proposed model, in which Occupational Project mediated the relationship between the Big Two and both job satisfaction and affect in workplace. Discussion is focused on applying Occupational Project as a practical tool for management. Consideration of an employee's Occupational Project could provide management with a means to question, understand, intervene with and redefine the narrative quality of his/her occupational project that influences job satisfaction.Öğe Ontological Wellbeing of University Students: A Cluster-Analysis Approach(Hacettepe Univ, 2018) Kocayoruk, Ercan; Altintas, Emin; Simsek, Omer Faruk; Bozanoglu, Ihsan; Celik, BekirThis study is focused on the relationship between purpose in life, emotional wellbeing, ontological (life project) wellbeing, and compassionate love. The Purpose in Life subscale of Psychological Well-Being Scale, Emotional Wellbeing Scale, Ontological Wellbeing Scale, and Compassionate Love for Humanity Scale were administered to 287 students who were undergraduate students and graduate students (masters and doctoral). Cluster analysis results indicated profiles of three factors. First profile showed high level of hope and come into action toward low regret and nothingness. High regret and nothingness were experienced toward low level of hope and come into action on the second profile. Moderate ontological wellbeing was exposed on the last profile. MANOVA analyses were used to compare those three profiles and statistically significant difference were found between Emotional Wellbeing, Purpose in Life, and Compassionate Love Scores. Moreover, the results of the study indicated that exposing high level of ontological wellbeing on hope and come into action is related to life goals, emotional wellbeing, and compassionate love.Öğe Parental Attachment and Adolescents' Perception of School Alienation: The Mediation Role of Self-Esteem and Adjustment(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2016) Kocayoruk, Ercan; Simsek, Omer FarukThe present study examined the relationship between adolescents' attachment to parents and their feelings of alienation in the school context by considering the mediating role of adjustment and self-esteem. It was proposed that the degree of attachment to one's parents was associated with adjustment and self-esteem, which in turn predicted possible school alienation. A total of 227 students completed self-report measures on parental attachment, adjustment, self-esteem, and alienation from school. Results were consistent with the attachment theory and related literature that posits that (a) secure attachment to parents was associated with adjustment and self-esteem, (b) secure attachment to parents was negatively associated with feelings of school alienation, and (c) adjustment and self-esteem were a crucial mediators between attachment to parents and school alienation. In addition to enhanced adjustment, the self-esteem of adolescents may be an additional factor in reducing alienation at school. The results also supported the mediator role of self-esteem in the relationship between attachment to parents and adjustment. Finally, the relationship between self-esteem and school alienation were shown to be fully mediated by adjustment. The results were discussed in the context of responsibilities of teachers and school counselors, which may provide both students and parents with the skills to improve social functioning in the school context.Öğe Revisiting Attachment to Parents and Depression Link in Adolescence: the Importance of Language Use and Emotion Regulation(Springer, 2019) Bozanoglu, Ihsan; Simsek, Omer Faruk; Altintas, Emin; Kocayoruk, ErcanAlthough past research has provided important information about the relationship between attachment and mental health during the period of adolescence, the role of intervening variables in this association has been neglected. The aim of the present study was to illuminate the association between adolescents' secure attachment to parents and mental health, i.e., emotion regulation and depression, and to focus on the mediating role of language use operationalized by the gap between experience and language. Three-hundred seventy-four adolescents (220 females, 154 males) participated in the study. The data was analyzed using structural equation modeling. The results provided support for the intervening role of language use and it was further shown that the relationship between language use and depression is mediated by emotion regulation. Language use and emotion regulation are potential mediators between attachment to parents and depression. The effects of problematic attachment experiences on attachment might be intervened by focusing on language use of adolescents, which in turn could improve insight.Öğe The Perceived Parental Support, Autonomous-Self and Well-Being of Adolescents: A Cluster-Analysis Approach(Springer, 2015) Kocayoruk, Ercan; Altintas, Emin; Icbay, Mehmet AliSelf determination theory (SDT) suggests that parenting style as a socialization agency plays a substantial role in supporting the relationship between perceived need support from parents and adolescents' well being. In this study, the relations between the adolescents' perception of their parental support to their well-being and to their autonomous development were examined. At the same time, the contributions of the parents' autonomous support, involvement and warmth in facilitating adolescents' well-being and autonomous development were explored. A cluster analysis was used to determine the different parental supportive styles on the basis of the three dimensions of parental perception. A total of 470 high school students aged between 14 and 18 participated in the study. The present research clarifies the impact of supportive parenting for adolescents' subjective well-being and autonomous self development as consistent with SDT. The findings suggest that when the parenting climate provides a setting that enables the adolescents to develop autonomous-self, it contributes to healthy development and well-being of adolescents.Öğe The perception of parents and well-being of adolescents: Link with basic psychological need satisfaction(Elsevier Science Bv, 2012) Kocayoruk, ErcanThe aim of the present study explored the unique influence of parents on adolescents' subjective well-being through the perspective of Self-Determination Theory. This study examined that whether perception of parents exert solely direct effected on adolescents' subjective well-being (i.e., positive affect and negative affect) or whether these effects were mediated though the function in basic psychological needs satisfaction (i.e., the need for autonomy, competence, and relatednesst). The direct paths suggest that autonomy supportive relationships with parents promote feelings of subjective well-being of adolescents. However, the indirect paths proposed that parents autonomy supportive had indirect influences on subjective well-being through basic psychological needs. The results were analyzed for the 227 participants (129 female, 98 male) aged between 14 and 18 years (M= 16.05, SD=104). The results revealed that basic psychological needs mediated the relationship between parent relationship and subjective well-being. (C) 2012 Published by Elsevier Ltd. Selection and/or peer review under responsibility of Prof Dr. Huseyin UzunboyluÖğe The validity and reliability of the Turkish brief version of the Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory for adolescents(Kare Publ, 2020) Kocayoruk, Ercan; Simsek, Omer FarukObjective: The study aimed to examine the psychometric properties of the Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory (ZTPI) developed by Zimbardo and Boyd with a sample of subjects in late adolescence (aged between 17 and 24 years). Method: In order to determine how well the identified model of the shortened version of the ZTPI (five subscales with 15 items) fits the Turkish adaptation, exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were performed to understand the factor structure of ZTPI. Results: The results of the initial CFA suggested that the original factor structure of the ZPTI shortened version with 15 items fit the data for adolescents' ratings of time perspective on the measures. The EFA revealed a five-factor structure for ZPTI with a shortened scale. CFA using competing models strategy also supported the five-factor structure. Convergent validity study yielded moderate correlations with other mental health indicators. Conclusion: The findings of the current study provided a good starting point for further ZTPI developments in Turkish culture. It is proposed that a proper balance between past, present, and future are now considered preconditions for success, mental health, and personal happiness. Considering the findings of the current study, time perspective may be useful for evaluating the personality concerns and well-being of clients in counseling and therapy.
