The purpose of the current study is to explore the revictimization process between child abuse and neglect (CAN), and intimate partner violence (IPV) based on the schema theory perspective. For this aim, 222 married women recruited in four central cities of Turkey participated in the study. Results indicated that early negative CAN experiences increased the risk of being exposed to later IPV. Specifically, emotional abuse and sexual abuse in the childhood predicted the four subtypes of IPV, which are physical, psychological, and sexual violence, and injury, while physical abuse only associated with physical violence. To explore the mediational role of early maladaptive schemas (EMSs) on this association, first, five schema domains were tested via Parallel Multiple Mediation Model. Results indicated that only Disconnection/Rejection (DAR) schema domains mediated the association between CAN and IPV. Second, to determine the particular mediational roles of each schema, eighteen EMS were tested as mediators, and results showed that Emotional Deprivation Schema and Vulnerability to Harm or Illness Schema mediated the association between CAN and IPV. These findings provided an empirical support for the crucial roles of EMSs on the effect of revictimization process. Clinical implications were discussed.

Warm and harsh parenting as mediators of the relation between maternal and adolescent emotion regulation Saritas, Dilek; Grusec, Joan E.; Gençöz, Tülin (Elsevier BV, 2013-12-01) Maternal hostility/rejection and warmth were considered as potential mediators of the relation between mothers' and adolescents' emotion regulation. Participants were first-year high school students living in Ankara, Turkey and their mothers (N = 365). Scales assessing emotion regulation difficulties and maternal hostility/rejection and warmth were administered to both the adolescents and their mothers. Maternal hostility/rejection, but not warmth, mediated the relation between maternal and adolescent emoti...
HOW DYSFUNCTIONAL ARE THE DYSFUNCTIONAL ATTITUDES IN ANOTHER CULTURE SAHIN, NH; SAHIN, N (Wiley, 1992-03-01) The Dysfunctional Attitude Scale (DAS-A) has been used in many studies to measure depressogenic attitudes, vulnerability to depression and to assess the effectiveness of cognitive therapy. Despite its frequent use in research, no data have yet been reported on its item validity. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the item validity and psychometric properties of the DAS-A in the Turkish cultural context. The subjects were 345 university students. The locally adapted versions of the Beck ...
ENVIRONMENTAL ENRICHMENT AND CAREGIVER TRAINING TO SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT OF BIRTH TO 6-YEAR-OLDS IN TURKISH ORPHANAGES Kazak Berument, Sibel (Wiley, 2013-05-01) The aim of the present study was to develop an intervention program involving environmental enrichment and caregiver training to improve the language and cognitive development of infants and young children residing in institutional settings in Turkey. Results indicated that institutional care quality was significantly improved in the intervention institutions, but remained unchanged in the control institutions. Furthermore, while the cognitive and language developmental gap of the infant and toddlers in the...
Targets of communication during adolescence Hortaçsu, Nuran (Elsevier BV, 1989-9) The purpose of the study was to investigate targets of communication during adolescence. Turkish high school students between the ages of 12 and 18 were asked to rank order a maximum of five people with whom (a) they enjoyed talking with the most, (b) they were most intimate with, and (c) they talked with the most frequently. It was found that the same sex friend and the mother were the preferred targets of communication for both sexes. Also, with increasing age, more friends and less family were cited by b...
Factors associated with the symptoms of depression and anxiety among male Turkish prisoners: a life crisis and personal growth model perspective ŞENOL DURAK, EMRE; Gençöz, Faruk (Informa UK Limited, 2010-01-01) The factors associated with depression and anxiety disorders in the prison populations have been empirically tested in various studies. The aim of the present study was to examine the factors associated with the symptoms of depression and anxiety in a sample of 179 Turkish male prisoners. For this purpose, a model conceptualized by Schaefer and Moos (1998) was used as the theoretical framework for this study. The role of locus of control (as a personality trait); prison type, crime type, time spent in priso...
