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 Aile Uyum Ölçeği’nin Türkçe Formunun Psikometrik Özellikleri(2018) Kula, Müge Duman; Eksi, Halil; Demirci, İbrahimBu çalışmanın amacı Aile Uyum Ölçeği’nin kısa formunuTürkçeye uyarlamak ve ölçeğin psikometrik özellikleriniincelemektir.

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 Dispositional Hope, Psychological Flexibility, and Psychological Distress: Psychometric Properties of the Personalized Psychological Flexibility Index Among Turkish Adults(Amer Psychological Assoc, 2024) Kimya, Elif; Hatun, Osman; Eksi, HalilThe present study examined the psychometric properties of the Personalized Psychological Flexibility Index (PPFI) in a Turkish adult community sample, which consisted of 837 people (65% female) aged between 18 and 68 (M-age = 29.93, SD = 13.21). Exploratory factor analysis yielded a three-factor structure corresponding to acceptance, avoidance, and harnessing, in accordance with the original PPFI. Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the three-factor model outperformed the one-factor model and showed a good model fit. The Turkish adaptation of the PPFI and its subscales exhibited high internal consistency, convergent validity with dispositional hope, and distress endurance in expected directions. Notably, the Turkish adaptation of the PPFI also showed excellent divergent validity from indices of negative emotionality. This study has offered additional support for the construct validity of the Turkish adaptation of the PPFI by investigating the relationship between psychological flexibility, dispositional hope, and psychological distress. Psychological flexibility emerged as a mediator between dispositional hope and psychological distress, and potential explanations were discussed. The present study offers evidence of the reliability and validity of the PPFI and its potential applicability in the Turkish adult population.Öğe Investigation of the Relationships Between Mindfulness, Wisdom, Resilience and Life Satisfaction in Turkish Adult Population(Springer, 2023) Kutuk, Hasan; Hatun, Osman; Eksi, Halil; Eksi, FusunThere are many factors that are thought to affect life satisfaction. One of these factors is mindfulness. In addition, it has been observed that resilience and wisdom are associated with both mindfulness and life satisfaction. This study aims to examine the associations between mindfulness, resilience, wisdom, and life satisfaction. Participants consist of 1158 Turkish young adults (79.9% females) between the ages of 18 and 58 (Mage = 21.28, SD = 5.31). Mindfulness Scale, Brief Resilience Scale, San Diego Wisdom Scale, and Life Satisfaction Scale were used as the data collection tools. Structural Equation Modelling and Bootstrapping method were used to examine the role of resilience and wisdom in the relationship between mindfulness and life satisfaction. The results of the structural equation analysis showed that resilience and wisdom had a significant mediating role in the relationship between mindfulness and life satisfaction, and that the role of wisdom was stronger than resilience. The results of the bootstrapping analysis showed that the indirect effects of mindfulness on life satisfaction are significant. We conclude that mindfulness, accompanied by wisdom and resilience, can lead to an increase in life satisfaction. Theoretical and practical implications and limitations were discussed.Öğe Karakter Güçlerinin Sınıflandırılması ve Ölçülmesi: VIA-IS-P ve GACS-24 Yetişkin Formlarının Türkçeye Uyarlanması(2024) Demirci, İbrahim; Güldal, Şeyma; Eksi, HalilBu araştırmanın amacı VIA (Values in Action) Karakter Güçleri Envanteri (VIA-IS-P) ile Karakter Güçleri Evrensel Değerlendirme Anketi’nin (GACS-24) Türkçe formunun psikometrik özelliklerinin incelenmesidir. VIA internet sitesinde VIA-IS-P’yi dolduran 3233 katılımcı araştırmanın ilk örneklemini oluşturmaktadır. İkinci örneklem ise kolay ulaşılabilir örnekleme kullanılarak ulaşılan 628 katılımcıdan oluşmaktadır. VIA-IS-P’nin Türkçe formunun yapı geçerliği doğrulayıcı faktör analizi (DFA) ile incelenmiştir.

Sonuç olarak envanterlerin Türkçe formlarının psikometrik özelliklerinin kabul edilebilir düzeyde olduğu görülmüştür. Yaşam doyumu ile en yüksek pozitif ilişkiye sahip beş karakter gücünün sırasıyla şükran, umut, yaşam coşkusu, maneviyat ve sebat olduğu bulunmuştur. Psikolojik belirtiler ile en yüksek negatif ilişkiye sahip beş karakter gücünün sırasıyla umut, yaşam coşkusu, şükran, sebat ve maneviyat olduğu görülmektedir. VIA Karakter Güçleri Envanteri'nin ve Karakter Güçleri Evrensel Değerlendirme Anketi’nin karakter güçlerinin incelendiği araştırmalarda ve psikolojik danışma uygulamalarında kullanılabileceği düşünülmektedir.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 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.

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.
