During the last decade, a number of studies have suggested that metacognitions may play a central role in the mechanisms of addictive behavior. According to the metacognitive model of smoking dependency, negative and positive metacognitions become activated during and following a smoking episode, and thereby triggering negative emotional states that force a smoker to use more and more (Nikčević & Spada, 2010; NikcevicCaselli, Wells, Spada, 2014). The aim of the present study is to test a model in which negative and positive metacognitions about smoking mediate the relationships between smoking dependency and depression-anxiety symptomatology in a Turkish sample. A total of 500 adult smokers completed the following questionnaires via web-survey: Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), Fagerström Test of Nicotine Dependency (FTND) and Metacognitions about Smoking Questionnaire (MSQ). The preliminary results of the path analysis with observed variables using AMOS indicated that metacognitive factors about smoking have mediator roles between negative affect and smoking dependency Outcomes of the current study suggested the idea that metacognitive components of smoking dependency may facilitate our understanding about what lies behind the smoking phenomena. In addition to this, our study supported the validity of the basic components of the metacognitive model of smoking dependency in a Turkish sample.

A multi-group analysis of the effects of individual differences in mindfulness on nomophobia Arpaci, Ibrahim; Baloğlu, Mustafa; Kesici, Şahin (2019-03-01) This study aimed to investigate the impact of individual differences in mindfulness on nomophobia. We developed and validated two structural models to identify the relationship between mindfulness and nomophobia. The 'Nomophobia Questionnaire' and the 'Mindful Attention Awareness Scale' were used to obtain data from the subjects. One-way MANOVA results suggested a statistically significant difference in nomophobia based on higher versus lower mindfulness. Further, a multi-group analysis was conducted to tes...
An investigation of brain-to-brain coherence in the prefrontal cortex during joint sentence reading and joint fluid reasoning tasks Çakır, Murat Perit; Taşcı, Çağatay (null; 2018-03-24) Lack of an interactive context for joint action is an important limitation in social neuroscience studies. Portable brain imaging technologies such as functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) have made it practical to simultaneously monitor the brain hemodynamics of two or more people engaged in social interaction. In this study, the modulation of inter-brain coherence is investigated in two different joint activity scenarios. In the first experiment, 22 dyads simultaneously read aloud matching and mis...
A Plasmonic method for the determination of serotonin Avcı, Begüm; Volkan, Mürvet; Department of Chemistry (2019) Serotonin is an important neurotransmitter for regulating many cognitive and behavioral functions. Its abnormal levels have been related with various diseases hence the determination of the serotonin is very important. Sialic acid is mostly found in acidic glycan chains, glycolipids and glycoproteins and it is known to have a specific affinity for serotonin. In this study, determination of serotonin by using plasmonic property of gold nanoparticles was aimed. After synthesizing gold nanoparticles through si...
The relationship between difficulties in emotion regulation and health-risk behaviors: the mediator role of perceived social support Demir, Berka; Hatipoğlu Sümer, Zeynep,; Department of Educational Sciences (2019) The purpose of the present study was to examine the mediator role of perceived social support in the relationship between difficulties in emotion regulation and health-risk behaviors (alcohol use, smoking, suicide tendency, and substance use). The sample of the study consisted of 619 college students from different universities located in Central and South Anatolia. The data were gathered via four scales: Demographic Information Form, Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS), Multidimensional Scale o...
A Bayesian Estimation Framework for Pharmacogenomics Driven Warfarin Dosing: A Comparative Study Oztaner, Serdar Murat; Taşkaya Temizel, Tuğba; Erdem, S. Remzi; ÖZER, Mahmut (2015-09-01) The incorporation of pharmacogenomics information into the drug dosing estimation formulations has been shown to increase the accuracy in drug dosing and decrease the frequency of adverse drug effects in many studies in the literature. In this paper, an estimation framework based on the Bayesian structural equation modeling, which is driven by pharmacogenomics, is proposed. The results show that the model compares favorably with the linear models in terms of prediction and explaining the variations in warfa...
