More suicidal ideation and higher rates of attempted suicide are found in Turkish people when compared with the general population in Europe. Acculturation processes and related distress may explain an elevated risk of suicide. The current study investigates the association between acculturation and suicidal ideation among Turkish migrants in the Netherlands. The mediating effect of hopelessness and moderating effect of secure attachment are also examined. A total of 185 Turkish migrants living in the Netherlands were recruited through social media and through liaison with community groups. They completed an online survey including validated measures of suicidal ideation, hopelessness, acculturation and attachment style. Mediation and moderation analyses were tested using bootstrapping. Higher participation was associated with less hopelessness and less suicidal ideation. Greater maintenance of ones ethnic culture was associated with higher hopelessness and higher suicidal ideation. Greater participation was associated with less suicidal ideation particularly amongst those with less secure attachment styles. Turkish migrants who participate in the host culture may have a lower risk of developing suicidal thinking. Participation may protect against suicidal thinking, particularly among those with less secure attachment styles.

Activities of Daily Living, Depression, and Social Support Among Elderly Turkish People
Bozo Özen, Özlem; Kurum, Oya (2009-03-01)
The authors examined the effects of activities of daily living (ADL) and perceived social support on the level of depression among elderly Turkish people. Participants were 102 adults older than the age of 60 years. The authors hypothesized that (a) lower levels of ADL would predict a higher level of depression, (b) a higher level of perceived social support would predict a lower level of depression, and (c) perceived social support would moderate the relation between ADL and depression. Although hierarchic...
Suicidality, Problem-Solving Skills, Attachment Style, and Hopelessness in Turkish Students
Zeyrek, Emek Yuece; Gençöz, Faruk; Bergman, Yoav; Lester, David (2009-01-01)
Among 180 Turkish university students, the probability of suicide was strongly predicted by both hopelessness and deficiencies in problem solving. In addition, for women, unhealthy attachment styles (preoccupied and dismissing) also predicted suicidality. The clinical implications of these findings are that psychotherapists should focus on helping suicidal adolescents improve their problem solving skills and decreasing their hopelessness and, for women, assisting them to develop healthier relationship styles.
Attitudes toward suicide: application of the attribution-value model of prejudice
Murathanoğlu, Ayşe Münire; Uğurlu, Nuray Sakallı; Department of Psychology (2002)
The thesis investigated attitudes toward acceptability of suicide and suicide attempters in Turkish college population. Also, attribution- value model of prejudice was applied to suicide attempters, with the addition of religious belief against suicide. Two separate studies were conducted for the thesis. The main purpose of the first study was to develop a scale to measure the examined variables. With the addition of new items to the scale, the second study was conducted to measure participants' attitudes t...
Hopelessness and suicidality in Turkish and American respondents
Gençöz, Faruk; Walker, Rheeda L.; Lester, David (SAGE Publications, 2007-01-01)
In samples of both Turkish and American students, the correlates of suicidal ideation were found to be similar, with depression, hopelessness, and attitudes toward the ownership of life predicting the level of suicidal ideation in both samples. Results using a Western measure of religiosity, however, were different in the two cultures, indicating the need for measures of religiosity specifically tailored for Turkish culture.
CAUSAL ATTRIBUTIONS FOR ILLNESS AMONG TURKISH PSYCHIATRIC OUT-PATIENTS AND DIFFERENCES BETWEEN DIAGNOSTIC GROUPS
Karancı, Ayşe Nuray (1993-11-01)
Causal attributions of 152 Turkish non-psychotic psychiatric out-patients for the development of their psychological problems were examined by using a 31-item attributions for psychological problems questionnaire (APP). The factor analysis of the responses to the APP yielded seven factors, which were: attributions to conflicts within the family of origin and with the present family, attributions to personal-characterological and behavioural attributes, work problems, interpersonal conflicts and bad luck.
