Objective: In this study, we intended to explore group differences between individuals with and without irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) in terms of psychological (i.e., perceived stress, internalizing problems, and difficulties in emotion regulation) and lifestyle-related factors (i.e., health-promoting behaviors and the frequency of smoking and alcohol consumption). Method: The data were collected using an online survey packet comprising demographic information form, Rome III Criteria for IBS, Health-Promoting Life-Style Profile II, Perceived Stress Scale, Brief Symptom Inventory, and Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale. The study sample consisted of 105 individuals who met IBS based on Rome III Criteria and 105 healthy individuals. Results: The group comparisons showed that IBS is positively associated with being female, perceived stress level, internalizing problems (i.e., depression, anxiety, and somatization), and some difficulties in emotion regulation (i.e., strategy and impulse). However, IBS was not associated with age, perceived income level, the frequency of smoking and alcohol consumption, and health-promoting behaviors (i.e., physical activity and nutrition). Conclusion: Overall, the results suggest that IBS might be more related to psychological factors than healthy lifestyle factors. Thus, assessing psychological factors in IBS interventions might be helpful in the prevention and treatment of IBS.

Psychological distress among university students: the role of mindfulness, decentering, reappraisal and emotion regulation Kaynakci, Fatma Zehra Unlu; Güneri, Oya (2022-02-01) This study sheds light on the extent to which the five facets of mindfulness (observing, describing, acting with awareness, nonjudging, and nonreactivity), decentering, and reappraisal predict psychological distress via emotion regulation difficulties. The study sample is comprised of 620 undergraduate students (429 females and 191 males). The participants' ages range between 18 and 30 years (M-age = 21.88, SD = 1.68). Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was employed to test the proposed model, which explain...
Perceived Partner Responsiveness Predicts Better Sleep Quality Through Lower Anxiety Selçuk, Emre; Stanton, Sarah C. E.; Slatcher, Richard B.; Ong, Anthony D. (2017-01-01) The present study investigated whether perceived partner responsiveness-the extent to which individuals feel cared for, understood, and validated by their partner-predicted subjective sleep problems and objective (actigraph-based) sleep efficiency through lower anxiety and depression symptoms. A life span sample of 698 married or cohabiting adults (35-86 years old) completed measures of perceived partner responsiveness and subjective sleep problems. A subset of the sample (N = 219) completed a weeklong slee...
Unique Contributions of Metacognition and Cognition to Depressive Symptoms YILMAZ, ADVİYE ESİN; Gençöz, Tülin; Wells, Adrian (2015-01-01) This study attempts to examine the unique contributions of cognitions or metacognitions to depressive symptoms while controlling for their intercorrelations and comorbid anxiety.

Two complementary hierarchical multiple regression analyses were performed, in which symptoms of depression were regressed on the dysfunctional attitudes (DAS-24 subscales) and metacognition scales (Negative Beliefs about Rumination Scale [NBRS] and Positive B...
