Öğe Academic Encouragement and Academic Wellbeing: Mediating Roles of Grit and Hope(Sage Publications Inc, 2023) Okur, Sinan; Eksi, Halil; Demirci, Ibrahim; Eksi, FusunAcademic encouragement provides opportunities for individuals to achieve their educational objectives and influences both academic satisfaction and academic self-efficacy of individuals. In this study, academic self-efficacy and academic satisfaction constitute academic wellbeing. There is a gap in the literature on which concepts of academic encouragement predict academic wellbeing. This demonstrates the originality of the research. In this direction, there are two main purposes in this study. The first of these aims is to adapt the Academic Encouragement Scale to Turkish culture. The second aim of the study is to analyze the relationship between academic encouragement, hope, grit, and academic wellbeing. Based on these two purposes, data were collected from 731 Turkish participants using the Academic Encouragement Scale, Academic Self-Efficacy Scale, Academic Satisfaction Scale, Dispositional Hope Scale, and Short Grit Scale. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) revealed that the two-factor structure of the original scale was preserved in Turkish culture. The structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis showed that grit and hope played a mediating role in the relationship between academic encouragement and academic wellbeing. The bootstrapping analysis results confirmed the importance of indirect effects. In this context, some pedagogical implications were discussed at the end of the study, and suggestions were provided accordingly.Öğe Character strengths and psychological vulnerability: The mediating role of resilience(Springer, 2021) Demirci, Ibrahim; Eksi, Halil; Eksi, Fusun; Kaya, CinarThe present study examined the relationships between character strengths and psychological resilience and psychological vulnerability. The sample consisted of 381 high school students (164 males and 217 females) ranging in age from 14 to 18 years (Mean=15.63, SD=1.12). Character Growth Index, the Brief Resilience Scale and Psychological Vulnerability Scale were used as measures to collect the data. Structural Equation Modeling and bootstrapping methods were used to examine the mediating role of psychological resilience in relationships between character strengths and psychological vulnerability. In the structural model, certain character strengths i.e. wisdom, courage, optimism, and, calmness were found to increase psychological resilience, and psychological resilience decreased psychological vulnerability. Also, psychological resilience fully mediated the relationship between the character strengths of wisdom, courage, optimism, and calmness and psychological vulnerability. The results of the bootstrapping analysis showed that the indirect effects of the character strengths of wisdom, courage, optimism, and calmness on psychological vulnerability were significant. Based on these results, we conclude that high levels of wisdom, courage, optimism and calmness accompanied by psychological resilience may lead to decreased psychological vulnerability. The theoretical and practical implications for researchers and practitioners and limitations are discussed.Öğe Developing the Cyberostracism Scale and Examining its Psychometric Characteristics(Springer, 2022) Hatun, Osman; Demirci, IbrahimThis study aims to develop the Cyberostracism Scale (CS) to assess university students' perceptions of virtual social exclusion. Validity and reliability studies were carried out with 3 different groups (N = 692; %69 women). In the developing process of the scale, EFA, CFA, Item Response Theory (IRT), and criterion-related validity and reliability (Cronbach's alpha, McDonald's omega, and test-retest) analyses were used. EFA results indicated that the CS has a 3-dimensional structure (Direct Excluded, Indirect Excluded, Ignored) which explains 55.74% of the total variance. The CFA results showed that the 3-factor structure of the scale had an acceptable level of fit indices and had a measurement invariance across gender. IRT analysis showed that all items of the scale were coherent and fit with the model. The results indicated that the scale had satisfactory reliability coefficients. The cyberostracism was found to be associated with the ostracism. Results of the study show that the CS is a valid and reliable measurement tool.Öğe Family Harmony and Flourishing in Turkey: The Roles of Interdependent Happiness and Harmony in Life(Springer, 2022) Demirci, IbrahimThe purpose of this study is to investigate the relationships among family harmony, interdependent happiness, harmony in life, and flourishing. The participants consist of 390 university students and employees in Turkey. Participants' ages range from 18 to 58 years. Data have been collected using the Family Harmony Scale, Interdependent Happiness Scale, Harmony in Life Scale, and Flourishing Scale. The relationships among the scales have been examined using a structural equation model and the bootstrap method. According to the results of the correlation analysis, there were significant positive relationships among family harmony, interdependent happiness, harmony in life, and flourishing. The structural equation model indicated that an increase in family harmony increases interdependent happiness and harmony in life, and an increase in interdependent happiness and harmony in life increases flourishing. The results of the bootstrap analysis confirm the significance of the standardized estimates. The study results reveal understanding family harmony to be able to enhance flourishing due to interdependent happiness and harmony in life. The results, implications, and limitations are discussed.Öğe Keep Calm and Be Happy: A Mixed Method Study from Character Strengths to Well-being(Edam, 2018) Demirci, Ibrahim; Eksi, HalilThe purpose of this study is to investigate the characteristics and sources of a peaceful and happy life. The research uses the sequential exploratory design from the mixed research designs. The grounded theory design has been used in the qualitative part of the study. In-depth interviews were performed in the qualitative section with 26 participants between the ages of 21 and 82. The structural equation model has been used in the quantitative section of the study. A total of 900 participants (548 women) between the ages of 18 and 75 (M - 30.46, SD 12.94) form the sample of the study. According to the findings from the qualitative stage of the research. peaceful and happy living means having comfort and positive feelings and not having negative feelings. In spite of peace and happiness being related to each other and intertwined, peace is understood to be more permanent, prioritized, and significant compared to happiness. Sufficiency in relationships and trust, personal virtues, social virtues, acceptance. spirituality. developmental strength of problems, optimism, nature, health and economics, as well as activities and superficial solutions constitute the sources of peace and happiness. The quantitative stage of the research has found peace and happiness to positively correlate with the characteristics of tolerance. helpfulness. beliefs and spirituality, responsibility, purposefulness, worthiness, trust, and reliability. Relationships among the variables have been tested using different structural equation models. The research results are considered to contribute to the literature on positive psychology and its applications.Öğe Kendini Bilme ve Psikolojik Iyi Olus Arasindaki Iliskinin Incelenmesi(Mustafa Süleyman ÖZCAN, 2017) Demirci, Ibrahim; Sar, Ali HaydarBu arastirmanin amaci,kendini bilme ile psikolojik iyi olus arasindaki iliskiyi ve kendini bilme ilepsikolojik iyi olus kavramlarinin algilanan ebeveyn tutumlari degiskenine görefarklilasma durumunu incelemektir.

The study investigated experiences of 20 school counselors regarding key aspects of school counseling supervision. Participants exhibited three divergent viewpoints: (a) The Counselor: Fostering Self-Awareness and Motivation, (b) The Teacher: Emphasizing Modeling and Observation, and (c) The Coordinator: Establishing Hierarchy and Communicating Clear Expectations. While school counselors prioritized positive supervisory relationships, intern growth, and motivation, they required training in corrective feedback, managing confrontation, and ethical supervision practices.Öğe Narcissism, Life Satisfaction, and Harmony: The Mediating Role of Self-Esteem and Self-Compassion(Ani Yayincilik, 2019) Demirci, Ibrahim; Eksi, Halil; Eksi, FusunPurpose: The present study aims to investigate the relationships between the two distinct faces of narcissism (admiration and rivalry), the two faces of self-perception (self-esteem and self-compassion) and the two faces of one's evaluation of life ( life satisfaction and harmony in life). Research Methods: The sample of this study consists of university students (N = 381). In this study, Narcissistic Admiration and Rivalry Questionnaire, Self-compassion Scale, Self-esteem Scale, Satisfaction with Life Scale, Life Harmony in Life Scale was employed as data collection tools. The relationship between variables was investigated using Structural Equation Modeling. Results: The structural equation modeling used in this study revealed that self-esteem mediated the relationship between narcissistic admiration, harmony in life, and life satisfaction whereas self-compassion mediated the link between narcissistic rivalry, harmony in life, and life satisfaction. Implications for Research and Practice: Based on the results of this research, it is suggested that additional empirical and longitudinal studies should be conducted. as In this context, individual and group counseling practices aimed at developing self-compassion and self-esteem, increasing life harmony and life satisfaction can be organized. Conclusion: In light of the results obtained in this study, we argue that high levels of narcissistic admiration accompanied by self-esteem may lead to increased harmony in life and life satisfaction. As narcissistic rivalry increases, self-compassion, harmony in life, and life satisfaction decrease. Lower self-compassion may explain the tendency of people higher in narcissistic rivalry to report less harmony in their life and lower life satisfaction. (c) 2019 Ani Publishing Ltd. All rights reservedÖğe Problematic Technology Use and Well-Being in Adolescence: The Personal and Relational Effects of Technology(Turkish Green Crescent Soc, 2020) Eksi, Fusun; Demirci, Ibrahim; Tanyeri, HilalThe purpose of this study is to examine the relationships among self-control, problematic technology use, family harmony, self-esteem, and well-being. The sample is composed of high school students from several schools in Istanbul. The Turkish versions of the Brief Self-Control Scale, Digital Game Addiction Scale (DGAS-7), Smartphone Application-Based Addiction Scale (SABAS), Family Harmony Scale, Lifespan Self-Esteem Scale, and EPOCH Measure of Adolescent Well-Being have been used for collecting the data. IBM Statistical Package for the Social Sciences and Statistical Packages for the Analysis of Moment Structures have been used for the data analyses. Structural equation models have been created for both digital game addiction and smartphone addiction. According to the findings, self-control significantly predicts problematic technology use, and problematic technology use significantly predicts well-being through the mediation of family harmony and self-esteem. As the level of self-control increases, smartphone and digital game addictions decrease. However, as digital game and smartphone addictions increase, family harmony, self-esteem, and well-being decrease. The negative relationship between problematic technology use and well-being may be related to disruptions in family harmony and decreased self-esteem. The relationships among problematic technology use, gender, and academic achievement have also been examined. The research findings are discussed through the literature. Future recommendations based on the results have been presented for researchers and practitioners.Öğe Psychopathy, impulsivity, and internet trolling: role of aggressive humour(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2023) Kurtca, Tugba Turk; Demirci, IbrahimThe aim of this study is first to conduct the reliability and validity analyses of the Turkish adaptation of the online trolling scale. The second aim is to examine online trolling behaviour in the context of psychopathy, which is one of the personality traits of the dark triad. In the first phase, the iTroll Questionnaire was adapted to Turkish. Two hundred thirty-four university students participated in the first part of the study. At this phase, confirmatory factor analyses were conducted. Item Response Theory (IRT) analysis showed that all items of the scale were coherent and fit with the model. The results show that the scale is a reliable and valid measure. The second phase aims to investigate the mediating effect of aggressive humour on the relationship between impulsivity and iTrolling. Two hundred sixty-one adults participated in the second phase of the study. Structural equation modelling was used to examine the mediator role. The results demonstrate that aggressive humour mediates the relationship among psychopathy, impulsivity, and iTrolling. As a result, it appears critical to make trolls aware of the consequences of their actions, as impulsivity and aggressive humour contribute to trolling behaviour.Öğe School Burnout and School Engagement in Adolescents: The Mediator and Moderator Role of Facebook Addiction(Turkish Education Assoc, 2020) Demirci, Ibrahim; Usta, Fatih; Yildiz, Banu; Demirtas, Ayse SibelIn this study, the mediating and moderating role of Facebook addiction in the relationship between school burnout, and school engagement was investigated. The study group comprised of 283 students continuing to 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th grades. The data were collected by School Burnout Inventory, School Engagement Scale and Facebook Addiction Scale. As a result of the correlation analysis, a significant positive correlation was found between school burnout and Facebook addiction. Also, school engagement was negatively related to school burnout and Facebook addiction. The structural equation model findings indicated that Facebook addiction had a partial mediating role between school burnout and school engagement. The results of the bootstrap analysis supported the significance of the partial mediating role. Besides, as a result of the regression analysis, it was found that Facebook addiction had a differentiating role in the relationship between burnout and school engagement. Research findings are discussed in light of the literature. It is recommended to carry out studies to prevent social media addiction and to enhance conscious technology use. These studies are considered to contribute to reduce school burnout of the students and increase their school engagement.Öğe School Engagement and Well-Being in Adolescents: Mediating Roles of Hope and Social Competence(Springer, 2020) Demirci, IbrahimThe objective of this study was to evaluate the association between school engagement, well-being, hope, and social competence. Participants consisted of 322 secondary school students in Turkey [172 females (53.4%) and 150 males (46.6%)]. The participants' ages ranged from 11 to 15. Data were collected via School Engagement Scale, Mental Health Continuum-Short Form, Children's Hope Scale, and Perceived Social Competence Scale. The relations between variables were examined by structural equation modelling and bootstrapping procedure. The structural equation modelling indicated that hope and social competence fully mediate the association between school engagement and well-being. The results of the bootstrapping analysis confirmed the significance of indirect effects. The result of the study has provided an understanding of the psychosocial factors that may contribute to school engagement and well-being. It is considered that the results of this study will contribute to the literature on positive psychology and educational psychology. Result, implications and limitations were discussed.Öğe The Predictive Roles of Character Strengths and Personality Traits on Flourishing(Mustafa ÖZGENEL, 2022) Eksi, Halil; Demirci, Ibrahim; Albayrak, Ibrahim; Eksi, FüsunThis research aims to explore the association between personality traits, character strength, and flourishing in university students (N=384). In the study, Three-dimensional Character Strengths Scale was adapted to Turkish. As a result of confirmatory factor analysis, the Three-dimensional Character Strengths Scale was acceptable for the goodness of fit indexes. The results of the study showed that personality traits and character strength were positively related to flourishing. Multiple regression analysis revealed that personality traits, with the exception of the openness, significantly predicted flourishing. According to the standardized beta coefficients, extraversion was found to be the strongest predictor of flourishing. According to the results of multi-regression analysis, it was found that the caring, inquisitiveness and self-control sub-dimensions of the character strengths positively predicted the flourishing. According to the standardized beta coefficients, inquisitiveness was found to be the strongest predictor of flourishing. According to the t test results, it was found that the variables included in the study differed significantly according to gender. The findings were discussed with the literature.
