    The Mediating Role of Self-Concept and Coping Strategies on the Relationship Between Attachment Styles and Perceived Stress
    (2018) Sahin, Nesrin Hisli; Guler, Murat; Bayrak, Rıza; 30555592
    The aim of this study was to examine the role of attachment style, self-concept, and coping strategies, in order to explain the differences in perceived stress factors and stress symptoms, in a mediation model. Participants were 515 university students (302 female and 213 male) aged 17-28 years. The assessment instruments were: Social Comparison Scale, Ways of Coping Scale, Experiences in Close Relationships Scale-II, Brief Symptom Inventory and University Students Stress Factors Scale. The results indicated that the effect of anxious attachment on perceived stress factors and stress symptoms was partially mediated by self-concept and coping styles. Our findings revealed that the level of anxious attachment is an important factor to explain perceived stress and stress-related variables.

    Three Assessment Scales on Awareness: Psychological Mindedness, Integrative Self Knowledge and Toronto Trait Mindfulness Scales
    (2015) Sahin, Nesrin Hisli; Yeniceri, Zuhal; 0000-0001-9228-9961; F-8366-2010
    Awareness is a phenomenon which is increasingly attracting attention. However as a complex concept, it incorporates different dimensions. In spite of this increasing attention, there are very few instruments in the Turkish Language to be used in research aiming to conceptualize the construct. The purpose of the current study is to adapt three scales used in the related literature into Turkish, in order to study awareness with its several conceptual dimensions (psychological awareness, self awareness, and mindfulness). With this purpose in mind, the Psychological Mindedness Scale, the Integrative Self Awareness Scale, and Toronto Mindfulness Scale were translated into Turkish; and their psychometric properties, reliabilities and validities (construct validity and concurrent validity) were investigated. The results are interpreted in light of the related literature. The study revealed that these three scales can reliably and validly be used in studies on awareness.
