As part of the International Sexuality Description Project, a total of 17,804 participants from 62 cultural regions completedthe RelationshipQuestionnaire(RQ), a self-reportmeasure of adult romanticattachment. Correlational analyses within each culture suggested that the Model of Self and the Model of Other scales of the RQ were psychometrically valid within most cultures. Contrary to expectations, the Model of Self and Model of Other dimensions of the RQ did not underlie the four-category model of attachment in the same way across all cultures. Analyses of specific attachment styles revealed that secure romantic attachment was normative in 79% of cultures and that preoccupied romantic attachment was particularly prevalent in East Asian cultures. Finally, the romantic attachment profiles of individual nations were correlated with sociocultural indicators in ways that supported evolutionary theories of romantic attachment and basic human mating strategies

The effect of mental representation of romantic partner on affect regulation in bisexual women‟s romantic relationships with men and women+: the role of partner gender identity Uğurluoğlu, İdil; Canel Çınarbaş, Deniz; Department of Psychology (2021-3-03) An emerging literature on bisexual individuals shows that bi-specific stressors lead adverse psychological and physical health outcomes on bisexual individuals.

A metapragmatic account of madilik, madikoli and gullüm in Turkish queer communication Karabacak, Galip; Işık Güler, Hale; Department of English Language Teaching (2022-12) This study aims to explore the metapragmatic labels of madilik, madikoli and gullüm which belong to the Turkish queer argot/slang/language. These three labels are concepts describing certain interactional practices through which Turkish queer individuals (mis)manage their rapport with others. For the study, through the snowball sampling method, data was gathered from a participant group with diverse queer identities. With an interview prepared based on the Critical Incident Technique, incidents that the par...
