<p>This study aimed to adapt the Emotional Regulation Questionnaire into Turkish and investigate its validity and reliability. The Turkish version of the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire was administered to 442 university students. Firstly, language equivalence of the Turkish version the Emotional Regulation Questionnaire was investigated and findings indicated that the Turkish translation of the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire is equivalent to the original form. Confirmatory factor analyses successfully revealed the two-factor (reappraisal and suppression) structure of the Turkish version the Emotional Regulation Questionnaire. Further, based on the two-factor model, results from multi-group analysis indicated that the Turkish version of the Emotional Regulation Questtionnaire has the property of strict factorial invariance across gender, including equal factor loadings, equal item intercepts, and equal item uniqueness (error variances and covariances). The internal consistencies were .78 for the reappraisal and .73 for the suppression subscales. Test-retest reliabilities were .74 for the reappraisal and .72 for the suppression subscales. Overall, the Turkish version of the Emotional Regulation Questionnaire has adequate psychometric properties and can be used to examine emotion regulation among Turkish university students. </p>

The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of reading strategies instruction on the reading achievement of learners of the French and to identify the views of the participants on the effect of said strategies. Research Methods: To achieve that objective, a onegroup pretest-posttest model was used. The participants were 32 Turkish students of the French Language Department in the Faculty of Education at Anadolu University. First, the achievement levels of the participants were measured by a B2-level test, and, during a nine-week period, specific reading strategies were taught. At the end of this period, the same test was administered. Second, a 3-point Likert type questionnaire was administered to 11 volunteer participants to discover their views on the effect of the practice.

In this paper, it was aimed to adapt the Positive Mental Health Scale (PMHS) into Turkish language. In total 360 university students with ages ranging from 18 to 25, participated in the research. Validity and reliability analysis were carried out after the linguistic equivalency of the scale was examined. The psychometric properties of the scale were examined by internal consistency, exploratory and Confirmatory Factor Analysis, it comes in view that the scale has a single factor structure. Related to the PMHS, the internal consistency coefficient was found .85. In the context of the criterion-related validity, positive correlations were found between Positive Mental Health Scale (PMHS) and Oxford Happiness Questionnaire (OHQ), Psychological Well-being Scale (PWS) and Brief Resilience Scale (BRS). It is concluded that the PMHS is a valid and reliable instrument to measure positive mental health level of university students.

The present study examined the relationship between expressing emotions, psychological resilience and subjective well-being. The study was carried out with a total of 217 university students, of whom 94 were males and 123 were females, aged between 19 and 25 years. The data of the study were collected using the Emotional Expression Questionnaire, the Psychological Resilience Scale and the Subjective Well-Being Scale, respectively. The relationship between the variables of the study was analyzed via the methods of Pearson Correlation Coefficient and Structural Equation Modeling, and the mediating role of psychological resilience between emotional expression and subjective well-being was tested. The goodness-of-fit indices obtained from the structural equation modeling indicated that the model generated a good fit. According to the results, there was a significant relationship between &ldquo;expressing emotions&rdquo; and &ldquo;psychological resilience&rdquo; and between &ldquo;psychological resilience&rdquo; and &ldquo;subjective well-being&rdquo;. It was found that there was no significant relationship between expressing emotions and subjective well-being and that the variable of expressing emotions affected that of subjective well-being by means of the psychological resilience (tool) variable and the model tested was significant.

The present study investigated the relationship between parental conditional regard, perfectionism, subjective well-being and self-esteem, and the role of perfectionism as a mediator in the relationship between parental conditional regard and both subjective well-being and self-esteem. Using a convenience sampling, 500 Turkish university students (M age = 20.83 years old, SD age = 2.05) completed questionnaires. The results showed positive links between parental conditional regard and perfectionism, negative links between parental conditional regard and both subjective well-being and self-esteem and negative links between perfectionism and both subjective wellbeing and self-esteem. While perfectionism was a partial mediator between parental conditional regard and self-esteem, perfectionism was not a mediator between parental conditional regard and subjective well-being.

ÖzBu araştırmada üniversite öğrencilerinin depresyon düzeyleri ile ruminasyon ve problem çözme becerileri arasındaki ilişkiler incelenmiştir. Araştırma, 18-24 yaş arası 263 (%63'ü kadın, %37'si erkek) üniversite öğrencisi üzerinde yapılmıştır. Araştırmada depresyon düzeyi, ruminasyon ve problem çözme becerilerini ölçmek için sırasıyla Hisli (1989) tarafından Türkçeye uyarlanmış "Beck Depresyon Envanteri", Karatepe, Yavuz ve Türkcan (2013) tarafından Türkçeye uyarlanmış "Ruminatif Düşünme Stili Ölçeği" ve Taylan (1990) ve Şahin, Şahin ve Heppner (1993) tarafından Türkçeye uyarlanmış "Problem Çözme Envanteri" kullanılmıştır. Hesaplanan korelasyonlar sonucunda, kız ve erkek öğrencilerin depresyon düzeyleri ile ruminasyon düzeyleri arasında pozitif yönde anlamlı, problem çözme ve depresyon düzeyleri arasında pozitif

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between self-compassion and subjective happiness and the relationship between self-compassion and life satisfaction. Participants were composed of 252 undergraduate students in Bursa, Turkey. Self-compassion Scale, Subjective Happiness Scale, and Satisfaction with Life Scale were used as data collection instruments. Correlation analysis was used to examine the relationship between self-compassion, subjective happiness and life satisfaction. The hypothesis model was tested through structural equation modeling. Results of correlation analysis showed that self-kindness, common humanity, and mindfulness were positively, self-judgment and isolation were negatively related to subjective happiness and life satisfaction. While over-identification was negatively associated with subjective happiness, there was no correlation between over-identification and life satisfaction. The model fitted well (χ2/df=1, GFI=.99, CFI=1, NFI=.99, AGFI=.98, SRMR=.00, RMSEA=.00). According to path analysis results, subjective happiness and life satisfaction were predicted positively by common humanity, and mindfulness. Moreover, subjective happiness and life satisfaction were predicted negatively by self-judgment, isolation, and over-identification.
