The present study examined hope as a potential mediator of the association between intimate partner violence (IPV) and suicidal risk, namely, depression and suicide ideation, in a sample of 149 Turkish female college students. Results from conducting bootstrapped mediation analyses indicated that hope agency, but not hope pathways, mediated the link between IPV and suicidal risk in Turkish women. Importantly, the associations of IPV with both depression and suicide ideation became nonsignificant once hope was included in the prediction model. Some implications of the present findings for hope theory and practice in the context of IPV victimization among Turkish women are discussed.

Predicting eating disturbances in Turkish adult females: Examining the role of intimate partner violence and perfectionism Muyan, Mine; Chang, Edward C.; Jilani, Zunaira; Yu, Tina (2015-12-01) We examined the relationships between intimate partner violence (IPV), perfectionism, and eating disturbances, namely, excessive dieting and bulimia, in a sample of 149 Turkish female college students. Results of conducting hierarchical regression analyses indicated that IPV accounted for significant variance in both excessive dieting and bulimic symptoms. The inclusion of perfectionism was found to predict additional variance in eating disturbances, beyond IPV. Specifically, we found parental expectations ...
Perfectionism as a Predictor of Suicidal Risk in Turkish College Students: Does Loneliness Contribute to Further Risk? Muyan, Mine; Chang, Edward C. (2015-12-01) In the present study, we examined perfectionism and loneliness as predictors of suicidal risk (viz., depressive symptoms & suicide ideation) in a sample of 288 (170 females and 118 males) Turkish college students. Results of conducting hierarchical regression analyses indicated that certain dimensions of perfectionism, namely, doubts about actions and parental criticism, accounted for significant variance in both depressive symptoms and suicide ideation. The inclusion of loneliness as a predictor was found ...
RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN SELF-COMPASSION, MASCULINE GENDER ROLE STRESS AND ATTITUDES TOWARD PSYCHOLOGICAL INTIMATE PARTNER VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN Karataş, Derya; Sakallı, Nuray; Department of Psychology (2021-9) The aim of this dissertation is to explore the relationships between men’s self-compassion, masculine gender role stress (MGRS), and attitudes toward psychological violence against women (APVAW) in intimate relationships. Psychological intimate partner violence is the most common form of violence that women suffer from. Besides, studying attitudes is crucial to understand the motivations of perpetrators. There are many factors that are related with positive APVAW. However, self-compassion, which is a new co...
Relation Between Sexual Assault and Negative Affective Conditions in Female College Students: Does Loss of Hope Account for the Association? Chang, Edward C.; Jilani, Zunaira; Yu, Tina; Lin, Jiachen; Muyan, Mine; Hirsch, Jameson K. (2017-04-01) The present study examined dispositional hope as a potential mediator of the association between sexual assault and negative affective conditions, namely, depressive and anxious symptoms in a sample of 223 female college students. Results from conducting bootstrapped mediation analyses indicated that hope agency, but not hope pathways, mediated the link between sexual assault victimization and negative affective conditions in females. Importantly, the associations of sexual assault with both depressive and ...
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). Individuals in dating relationships in Turkey (N = 177) completed the measures of attributions for self and partner behaviors, RS, USE, violence, and STS. The results indicated that RS and USE had indirect effects on violence via attributions for partner be...
