As a relatively new concept in the literature, stalking can be described as an unwanted and repeated behavior directed toward a specific individual. Stalking has not been studied in social psychological perspective in Turkish sample. The aim of this thesis is to examine attitudes towards different forms of stalking (which can be classified into three forms: ex-partner stalking, acquaintance stalking and stranger stalking) in Turkey where can be accepted a sexist and honor endorsing culture; and to explore the associations among attitudes towards stalking, gender, ambivalent sexism, gender-based violence attitudes and honor endorsement. Sample consisted of 453 participants (291 females and 162 males). Participants filled semantic differential scales for attitudes towards ex-partner, acquaintance and stranger stalking; Ambivalent Sexism Inventory; Honor Endorsement Index; Intimate Partner Violence Attitude Scale and demographics. Results showed that (1) hostile sexism mediated the relationship between honor endorsement and attitudes towards stalking, gender-based violence attitudes mediated the relationship between honor endorsement and attitudes towards stalking, hostile sexism and gender-based violence attitudes sequentially mediated the relationship between honor endorsement and attitudes towards stalking, benevolent sexism and gender-based violence attitudes sequentially mediated the relationship between honor endorsement and attitudes towards stalking. (2) Acquaintance stalking was found as less negative among ex-partner and stranger stalking, and also men showed more positive attitudes in all types of stalking. (3) In terms of stalking experiences, women were found to be subjected to stalking more than men. Results were discussed; and contributions to the literature, limitations and future directions were given based on the literature.

Perceived justice in marriage: The effects of justice sensitivity, ambivalent sexism, and gender Şaklar, Zeynep; Sakallı, Nuray; Department of Psychology (2021-10-8) How perceived justice in marriage (PJM) affects variables such as relationship satisfaction, commitment, and maintenance behavior have been studied extensively in the psychology literature. However, there is very little research about the factors that affect PJM. Therefore, this dissertation aims to test potential antecedents of PJM. Thus, based on the justice and gender psychology literature, justice sensitivity, ambivalent sexism, and gender were examined as the possible factors. A sequential mixed-method...
Rejection Sensitivity, Self-Esteem Instability, and Relationship Outcomes The Mediating Role of Responsibility Attributions Goncu, Asli; Sümer, Nebi (Hogrefe Publishing Group, 2011-01-01) This study examined whether responsibility attributions for self and partner behaviors differentially mediate the link between rejection sensitivity (RS), unstable self-esteem (USE), and relationship outcomes (i.e., violence and silencing the self, STS).

Personality Analysis Using Classification on Turkish Tweets Karagöz, Pınar; Toroslu, İsmail Hakkı (2021-10-01) According to the psychology literature, there is a strong correlation between personality traits and the linguistic behavior of people. Due to the increase in computer based communication, individuals express their personalities in written forms on social media. Hence, social media has become a convenient resource to analyze the relationship between personality traits and lingusitic behaviour. Although there is a vast amount of studies on social media, only a small number of them focus on personality predic...
