In clinical practice, there is a need for a measurement tool that can support the diagnosis of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and complex PTSD (CPTSD). The present study investigates the psychometric properties of the Turkish Version of the International Trauma Questionnaire (ITQ), the first scale developed for PTSD and CPTSD diagnosis purposes. The sample for this study comprised 395 participants recruited from the clinical sample (n = 112) and community (n = 283). After identifying the best fitting model, correlations between factors and criterion variables were calculated to examine the concurrent and convergent validity of ITQ scales. Criterion variables to examine concurrent validity comprised PTSD symptoms as assessed by the Impact of Event Scale-Revised (IES-R), Sheehan Disability Scale (SDS), The Core Self-Evaluations Scale (CSES), Relationship Assessment Scale (RAS), and Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ). Participants were primarily female (61.0%, n = 241) with a mean age of 32.43 years (SD = 10.14). Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) findings of our study indicated that Two-Factor Second-Order Model, Each Measured by Three First-Order Factors (Six first-order and two second-order factors), is congruent with previous studies. Cronbach's alpha was satisfactory for both PTSD (alpha = .910) and Disturbances in Self-Organization (alpha = .867) scales. The correlations between ITQ and the IES-R, RAS, ERQ, CSES, and SDS supported the concurrent and convergent validity of the scale. The study results demonstrated that the Turkish version of the scale is valid and reliable and can be used in research and clinical practice.

This study aimed to investigate the psychometric properties of the Screening Instrument for Borderline Personality Disorder (SI-Bord) in a Turkish sample. Participants were invited to study via online methods between August 2020 and October 2020. Data were collected from 661 participants ranging between the ages of 18 and 67 (Mean = 35.99). ...
Psychometric properties of the Interpersonal Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (IERQ) in Turkish samples Sarisoy-Aksut, Gizem; Gençöz, Tülin (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-01-02) Intrapersonal emotion regulation is accepted to have an important role on mental health. However, research investigating the effects of interpersonal emotion regulation on mental health is still in its infancy. The objective of the current study was to investigate the psychometric properties of the Interpersonal Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (IERQ) in Turkish samples. For this purpose, IERQ was translated into Turkish and psychometric properties of the scale were examined in two different samples. Struct...
Psychometric properties of the cumulative trauma scale: evaluation of the validity and reliability in a Turkish sample Eltan, Selen; Karancı, A. Nuray.; Department of Psychology (2019) Stressful life events leading to traumatic reactions are noteworthy, and trauma studies generally consider one traumatic event which an individual experienced recently or affected most dramatically. However, cumulative impacts of traumas are also necessary to focus especially in the cultures in which traumatic events are common. The main aim of the current study is to adapt the Cumulative Trauma Scale-Short Form (CTS-S) into Turkish and to investigate its psychometric properties to use in trauma-related res...
Effective connectivity model differences of emotion regulation in major depressive disorder: dynamic causal modeling analysis Özaydın, Mustafa; Çakır, Murat Perit; Department of Cognitive Sciences (2021-9) Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is a mental disorder and one of the most critical and prevalent disorders in the world. Unlike other diseases, the diagnosis of mental disorders does not easily conform to objective tests. Medical experts consider several indicators to be able to distinguish a depressed person from a normal individual, and finding robust markers to aid diagnosis is still an active area of research. The recent proliferation of neuroimaging methods has brought up new opportunities in that regar...
