This study aimed to investigate psychological inflexibility, ruminative thinking, worry and self-compassion, in relation to college adjustment within an interactional model by using structural equation modeling. The sample of the study consisted of 657 (486 females, 171 males) first year college students at a public university in western Turkey. The data intruments of the study were Demographic Information Form, University Life Scale (ULS; Aladağ, Kağnıcı, Tuna, & Tezer, 2003), Acceptance and Action Questionnaire- II (AAQ-II; Hayes et al., 2004), Ruminative Thought Style Questionnaire (RTSQ; Brinker & Dozois, 2009), Penn State Worry Questionnaire (PSWQ; Meyer, Miller, Metzger, & Borkovec, 1990) and Self Compassion Scale (SCS; Neff, 2003s). The results of the SEM analysis indicated that psychological inflexibility negatively and significantly, self-compassion positively and significantly predicted overall college adjustment. While, psychological inflexibility positively predicted ruminative thinking and worry, it negatively predicted self-compassion. Findings also revealed that ruminative thinking and worry were not significant predictors of the college adjustment. The results of this study suggested that students with high psychological inflexibility and low level of self-compassion have difficulties in adjusting to the college environment. On the other hand, students with high psychological inflexibility were found to be more likely to experience ruminative thinking and worry. Furthermore, the findings showed that college students who experience ruminative thinking and worry did not seem to experience difficulties in adjusting to college life.

Testing a model of psychological inflexibility, ruminative thinking, worry and self-compassion in relation to college adjustment Aydın, Yasin; Güneri, Oya; Department of Educational Sciences (2016) This study aimed to investigate psychological inflexibility, ruminative thinking, worry and self-compassion, in relation to college adjustment within an interactional model by using structural equation modeling. The sample of the study consisted of 657 (486 females, 171 males) first year college students at a public university in western Turkey. The data intruments of the study were Demographic Information Form, University Life Scale (ULS; Aladağ, Kağnıcı, Tuna, & Tezer, 2003), Acceptance and Action Questio...
Assessing a model of cognitive test anxiety: the role of rumination, self-forgiveness, perfectionism cognitions, and cognitive defusion through the indirect effect of psychological flexibility Aydın, Gökçen; Güneri, Oya; Department of Educational Sciences (2017) The aim of this study was to test a model investigating the role of rumination, self-forgiveness, perfectionism cognitions, and cognitive defusion in predicting cognitive test anxiety through the indirect effect of psychological flexibility. The sample included 715 (351 females and 364 males) students from a state university in Turkey. The data collection instruments used in the study were Demographic Information Form, Cognitive Test Anxiety Scale-Revised, State Self-Forgiveness Scale, Perfectionism Cogniti...
A relational perspective of institutional work Topal, Çağrı (Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2015-07-01) This study develops a relational model of institutional work. The past research implies that the nature of relationships between individual actors actually shapes the nature of institutional work the actors engage in. However, the research falls short of an explicit, systematic analysis of different relationships between the actors and their work implications. This study basically argues that the actors' power positions, which might be dominant or subordinate in relation to those of other actors, and their ...
Modeling and Simulation of High Speed Railway Vehicle Dynamics Tuğçe, Yüksel; Ünlüsoy, Yavuz Samim (null; 2015-03-04) This study aims to provide mathematical model(s) for the simulation of high speed railway vehicles. The dynamic behavior of a high speed train is divided into three uncoupled motions: vertical, lateral, and longitudinal. Two models with different complexities are used to simulate vertical plane response of the vehicle to track vertical irregularities. Different wheel-rail contact formulations are utilized to simulate the lateral plane motion of the vehicle on tangent and curved tracks. For both vertical and...
Advanced mathematical and statistical tools in the dynamic modelling and simulation of gene-environment networks Purutçuoğlu Gazi, Vilda (Springer, 2014-01-01) In this study, some methodologies and a review of the recently obtained new results are presented for the problem of modeling, anticipation and forecasting of genetic regulatory systems, as complex systems. In this respect, such kind of complex systems are modeled in the dynamical sense into the two different ways, namely, by a system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) and Gaussian graphical methods (GGM). An artificial time-course microarray dataset of a gene-network is modeled as an example by usin...
