“…Total TRI's test-retest reliability was .76 in the original study (Bresin et al, 2017). Turkish TRI (Kurşuncu & Baştemur, 2020) produced a similar Cronbach's alpha coefficient of .88 to the original scale. Turkish TRI's test-retest reliability for university students was .80.…”

The current study aimed to investigate the mediating role of smartphone addiction and resilience in the relationship between triangling, and differentiation of self. The sample consisted of a total of 536 university students from 32 universities, and data were gathered using Triangular Relationship Inventory (TRI), Differentiation of Self Inventory Short Form (DSI-SF), Smartphone Addiction Scale-Short Version (SAS-SV), Brief Resilience Scale (BRS), and Demographic Information Form. Findings indicated that the path of triangling to smartphone addiction to resilience explained 45% of the variance in differentiation of self. Smartphone addiction has mediated the relationship between triangling and differentiation of self. However, resilience was not a significant mediator in the relationship between triangling and differentiation of self- we delineated our findings in the light of literature. Strategies (i.e., de-triangling) may help university students to overcome SPA, resulting in greater resilience and DoS.

“…However, the findings on scapegoating were not statistically significant. One reason might be the scapegoating subscale’s controversial psychometric properties regarding both the Turkish version of the TRI as well as the original TRI (Bresin et al., 2017; Kurşuncu & Baştemur, 2020); further examination is suggested by the authors of these studies. The second explanation concerns the worldviews of Turkish young adults and the Turkish cultural context, in which scapegoating may be perceived as culturally enmeshed with the cross‐generational coalition rather than existing in a unidimensional way by itself.…”

“…The scores in all subscales are 6–30, and higher scores show higher triangling, with the exception of the balanced dimension (because of reversed coding, higher scores show less balanced triangling). Kurşuncu and Baştemur (2020) adapted the scale into Turkish; the Cronbach’s Alpha and McDonald’s coefficients for this version of the scale vary between .82 to .89, and .63 to .80 for test–retest reliability.…”

The purpose of this study was to examine the mediating role of experiential avoidance in relationships between triangling configurations (balanced, mediator, cross‐generational coalition, scapegoating), anxiety, and negative self‐image (NS). The study sample comprised 381 university students. Data were collected from these participants using the Triangular Relationship Inventory (TRI), the Acceptance and Action Questionnaire‐II (AAQ‐II), the Negative Self and Anxiety Subscales of Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI), and a demographic information form. Findings of the structural equation modelling analyses revealed that triangling configurations and experiential avoidance (together) explained 36% of the variance in negative self and 44% of the variance in anxiety. Regarding indirect effects, it was found that experiential avoidance fully mediated the relationships between triangling configurations (except scapegoating), NS, and anxiety. The mediator type of triangling was found to play a protective role against NS and anxiety—the literature delineates the study findings.

“…A study by Freedenthal et al [16] found higher levels of PB in men. Other studies could not confirm the gender differences [17][18][19]. In a study by Upegui-Arango et al [20] there were differences between clinical and non-clinical populations.…”

Introduction Identifying various interacting risk factors for suicidality is important to develop preventive measures. The Interpersonal-Psychological Theory of Suicidal Behavior (IPTS) postulates suicidal ideation resulting from the occurrence of Perceived Burdensomeness (PB) and Thwarted Belongingness (TB). Suicidal behavior ultimately occurs if people have a Capability for Suicide. In past studies, the validity of TB was often not empirically confirmed, questioning which of the aspects of TB are central and related to suicidal ideation and whether applied measurement methods adequately capture the construct. Method Using a sample of 3,404 individuals from different clinical and nonclinical settings, 30% (1,023) of whom reported suicidal ideation, two network analyses were conducted on the Interpersonal Needs Questionnaire (INQ) and a variable mapping suicidal ideation. Results Analyses revealed that some items of the INQ were not related to suicidal ideation and the most central items did not have the strongest associations to suicidal ideation. Conclusion Based on these results, a shortened version of the INQ with the four items that showed the strongest associations with suicidal ideation in the network analyses was suggested.
