Öğe Big five personality, anxiety sensitivity, and Turkish L2 speaking anxiety in international students: a mediation model(Frontiers Media Sa, 2026) Yayla, Ibrahim Erdogan; Dombak, Kubra; Maden, Sedat; Arpaci, Ibrahim; Baloglu, MustafaIntroduction Second language (L2) speaking anxiety is a significant affective variable that can limit the communication processes and academic experiences of foreign language learners. Although interest in the relationship between personality traits and speaking anxiety has increased in recent years, the psychological processes through which this relationship manifests have not been sufficiently investigated.Method The mediating role of anxiety sensitivity in the relationship between the Five-Factor Model of personality traits and L2 speaking anxiety was examined. The research is a cross-sectional, quantitative study conducted with international university students learning Turkish as a second language (N = 286; 76.6% male). The data were analyzed using bootstrap-based mediation analyses.Result We found significant negative correlations between conscientiousness, agreeableness, extroversion, and openness to experience and L2 speaking anxiety, and a significant positive correlation with neuroticism. Mediation analyses showed that anxiety sensitivity had significant indirect effects in the relationships between all five personality dimensions and L2 speaking anxiety.Discussion The findings suggest that both personality traits and anxiety sensitivity should be considered when interpreting Turkish L2 speaking anxiety.Öğe Difficulties in Emotion Regulation as a Mediator and Gender as a Moderator in the Relationship Between Problematic Digital Gaming and Life Satisfaction Among Adolescents(Mdpi, 2025) Yayla, Ibrahim Erdogan; Dombak, Kubra; Diril, Sena; Dusunceli, Betul; Celik, Eyup; Yildirim, MuratBackground: Problematic digital gaming has emerged as a significant behavioral concern among adolescents, with potential implications for well-being. Understanding the mechanisms through which problematic digital gaming affects life satisfaction and how these mechanisms may differ by gender is important for targeted interventions. Aims: This study aimed to investigate the mediating role of difficulties in emotion regulation and the moderating role of gender in the relationship between problematic digital gaming and life satisfaction among adolescents. Method: The sample consisted of 458 Turkish adolescents (232 females, 50.7%) aged between 14 and 18 years (M = 16.27). Participants completed the Game Addiction Scale for Adolescents-Short Form, the Life Satisfaction Scale, and the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale-8. Results: Problematic digital gaming was found to have a significant negative association with life satisfaction. Difficulties in emotion regulation significantly mediated the relationship between problematic digital gaming and life satisfaction. Furthermore, gender moderated this mediation effect, with difficulties in emotion regulation being more pronounced among males than females. Conclusions: The findings highlight the importance of emotional regulation in understanding the negative impact of problematic digital gaming on adolescents' life satisfaction, particularly among males. These results suggest the need for gender-sensitive approaches in interventions aimed at improving emotion regulation skills and reducing problematic gaming behavior.Öğe From stress to screen: family factors on the path to problematic media use in children aged 4-11(Frontiers Media Sa, 2025) Yayla, Ibrahim Erdogan; Makas, Samet; Yildirim, Selami; Dombak, Kubra; Celik, EyupObjective Today, the rapid development of digital technologies fundamentally transforms how children interact with media. This research examines the mediating roles of parenting stress and problematic media use in children on the relationship between digital parenting awareness and family harmony.Methods The data for this study were obtained from 502 parents with children aged 4-11 years. Participants' daily screen time was 1-2 h (55.8%), 2-3 h (26.9%), 3-4 h (12%), 4+ h (5.4%). Convenience sampling was the method employed for the present study. Correlation analysis and structural equation modeling were performed to analyze the data.Results The correlation analysis concluded that all variables were interrelated. Furthermore, the structural equation model demonstrated that parenting stress and problematic media use mediated the relationship between digital parenting awareness and family harmony.Conclusion This study has contributed to understanding the relationship between parenting stress and problematic media use in childhood, as well as the variables that mediate this relationship. It has provided a new perspective on the variables that should be focused on in preventing and intervening in children's problematic media use behaviors. Practically, the research results provide a valuable reference for university educators, assist school counselors in reducing students' problematic media use behaviors through education, and help parents improve their skills in raising their digital awareness.Öğe Moderated Mediation in Problematic Digital Gaming Among Adolescents: Self-Esteem, Social Anxiety, Self-Concealment, and Sensation Seeking(Mdpi, 2025) Yayla, Ibrahim Erdogan; Makas, Samet; Kocak, Lokman; Yildirim, Murat; Dombak, KubraBackground: Problematic digital gaming among adolescents is a common behavioral issue that has negative consequences on school functioning and mental health. Theoretically, it is predicted that low self-esteem paves the way for problematic gaming by increasing social anxiety and self-concealment; this indirect pathway may be stronger in sensation seeking adolescents. Aims: The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between self-esteem and problematic digital gaming among adolescents, first through the PROCESS Model 6 in terms of social anxiety and self-concealment as mediators, and subsequently through Model 89 in terms of moderated mediation by sensation seeking. Method: The sample consisted of 448 Turkish adolescents (243 (54.2%) males, 205 (45.8%) females) aged between 13 and 18 years (M = 15.9). Participants completed the Game Addiction Scale for Adolescents-Short Form, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, Self-Concealment Scale, Brief Sensation Seeking Scale and the Social Anxiety Scale-8. Results: A significant negative relationship was found between self-esteem and problematic digital gaming. Social anxiety and self-concealment fully mediated this relationship (indirect effects were significant). Sensation seeking conditioned the mediation by strengthening pathways to problematic digital gaming (moderated mediation was significant). The indirect effect was greater in those with high sensation seeking. Conclusions: The findings indicate that the negative effect, ranging from self-esteem to problematic digital gaming, progresses through social anxiety and self-concealment, and that this mediation is strengthened in adolescents with high sensation seeking. These results emphasize the need to integrate social anxiety reduction and self-expression skills into interventions in a target-sensitive manner, taking into account differences in sensation seeking.Öğe Psychological Needs and Problematic Social Media Use in Adolescents: A Gender-Moderated Mediation via Sensation Seeking and Cognitive Flexibility(Mdpi, 2025) Dombak, Kubra; Yayla, Ibrahim Erdogan; Makas, Samet; Celik, Eyup; Sahranc, Umit; Kaya, MehmetBackground: The purpose of this study is to examine the mediating roles of cognitive flexibility and sensation seeking in the relationship between basic psychological needs and problematic social media use. Furthermore, the moderating effect of gender on indirect effects has been examined. Method: The sample of the study consisted of 838 Turkish adolescents aged between 14 and 18 (46.2% female; Mean = 15.6, SD = 1.71). Participants completed the Bergen Social Media Addiction Scale, the Basic Psychological Needs Scale, the Cognitive Flexibility Scale, and the Brief Sensation Seeking Scale. Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM) with the AMOS 26.0 program. Results: A significant relationship was found between basic psychological needs and problematic social media use (r = 0.43, p < 0.001). Both cognitive flexibility and sensation seeking partially mediated this relationship in girls (beta = -0.23, p < 0.001), while fully mediating it in boys (beta = 0.03, p = 0.675). Conclusions: The findings suggest that problematic social media use in adolescents may be associated with cognitive flexibility and increased sensation-seeking tendencies stemming from unmet psychological needs, and that gender plays an important role in this relationship.Öğe The association of psychological need dissatisfaction with problematic digital gaming: Mediating roles of EPOCH well-being and resilience in adolescents(Elsevier, 2026) Yayla, Ibrahim Erdogan; Makas, Samet; Gomez-Salgado, Juan; Bayrakci, Cansu; Dombak, Kubra; Celik, Eyup; Yildirim, MuratDrawing on self-determination theory, this study examines how EPOCH well-being and resilience mediate the relationship between dissatisfaction with psychological needs and problematic digital gaming. Data were collected via questionnaires from 647 adolescents aged 13-19 (M = 15.80, SD = 1.10), 55.8% of whom were girls, using a convenience sampling method. Structural equation modeling was employed to test the proposed hypotheses. Results indicate a significant positive association between dissatisfaction with psychological needs and problematic digital gaming. Moreover, both EPOCH well-being and resilience were found to mediate this relationship. By highlighting the role of psychological resources in adolescence, this study makes novel theoretical and practical contributions to understanding the associations between psychological need dissatisfaction and problematic digital gaming. This is a cross-sectional study, which limits the generalization of the research results. The participants are adolescents attending middle schools in some rural areas of T & uuml;rkiye, which limits the generalizability of the research results to adolescents in other parts of T & uuml;rkiye and the world. Additionally, research data were obtained through self-report scales. This may lead adolescents to respond in line with their developmental perceptions of social desirability.Öğe The Effect of Self-Regulation on the Need for Psychological Help Through Happiness, Resilience, Problem Solving, Self-Efficacy, and Adjustment: A Parallel Mediation Study in Adolescent Groups(Mdpi, 2025) Akeren, Ihsan; Celik, Eyup; Yayla, Ibrahim Erdogan; Ozgol, MustafaIntroduction: Adolescence is a developmental period in which the risk of mental problems is high. Failure to resolve the problems encountered during this period may result in the need for psychological help. Based on the literature review, this study aimed to examine self-regulation, which has the potential to reduce adolescents' need for psychological help, and the mediation of happiness, resilience, problem solving, self-efficacy, and adjustment through this skill. Methods: In the cross-sectional correlational survey design study, 1013 adolescents (542 girls, 471 boys, mean age: 15.04 +/- 1.75 years) aged 12-19 years and studying in middle and high school in Bayburt, Turkey were reached. Seven different questionnaires, valid and reliable in adolescent groups, were used to measure the study variables. Results: Correlation results showed that all predictors were positively correlated with each other and negatively correlated with the dependent variable, the need for psychological help. After testing the assumptions, the results of the parallel mediation analysis showed that happiness, problem solving, self-efficacy, and adjustment fully mediated the effect of self-regulation on the need for psychological help. Another finding is that resilience is not a predictor of psychological distress. Conclusions: The results are important because they provide insight for those working in the field of adolescent mental health in terms of understanding the factors through which self-regulation reduces the need for psychological help.Öğe The Mediating Role of Parental Self-Efficacy in the Relationship Between Parenting Stress and Coparenting(Sage Publications Inc, 2026) Turhan, Fatma Seher; Yayla, Ibrahim Erdogan; Sahranc, Umit; Makas, Samet; Yildirim, MuratParenting stress is a critical factor influencing family dynamics, often undermining the quality of coparenting. Exploring the mechanisms through which parenting stress impacts coparenting and the potential mediating role of parental self-efficacy is essential for developing effective family-based interventions. This study aims to examine the mediating role of parental self-efficacy in the relationship between parenting stress and coparenting. The sample consisted of 240 parents (79.6% female) aged 25-58 (M = 36.5). Participants completed the Parenting Stress scale, the Berkeley Parenting Self-Efficacy Scale, and the Coparenting Scale. Parenting stress showed a significant negative association with both coparenting quality and parenting self-efficacy. Furthermore, parenting self-efficacy was found to mediate the association between parenting stress and coparenting. These results highlight the important role of parents' self-efficacy in influencing how stress influences coparenting dynamics. Strengthening parents' confidence in their parenting abilities may help buffer the harmful effects of stress and foster more cooperative, supportive coparenting practices.Öğe The mediating role of social support in the relationship between social isolation and life satisfaction in families with and without children with special needs(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2026) Yayla, Ibrahim Erdogan; Turhan, Fatma Seher; Dombak, Kubra; Makas, Samet; Iskender, Murat; Celik, EyupObjectivesThe present study aims to examine the relationships between social isolation, social support, and life satisfaction in parents with and without children with special needs.MethodsThe data for this study were obtained from 422 parents with children. Of the participants, 266 (63.0%) were mothers, and 156 (37.0%) were fathers, with an average age of 39.43 (SD = 7.62; range = 22-65). Convenience sampling was used in this study. When examining the marital status distribution, 386 participants (91.5%) were married, and 36 (8.5%) were single. Furthermore, 203 parents (48.1%) stated that they had a child with special needs, while 219 (51.9%) stated that they did not have a child with special needs.ResultsThe correlation analysis revealed that all variables are related to each other. Furthermore, structural equation modeling results showed that social support plays a mediating role in the relationship between social isolation and life satisfaction.ConclusionsThis research evaluates parents with and without disabled children in terms of social isolation, social support, and life satisfaction, and indicates that social support is significantly more important for parents with disabled children compared to those without.
