    Aggression during Early Childhood: Associated Factors in a Clinical Sample
    (Marmara Univ, Fac Medicine, 2011) Ekinci, Ozalp; Topcuoglu, Volkan; Bez, Yasin; Sabuncuoglu, Osman; Berkem, Meral
    Objective: Early onset aggression is a public health problem. We aimed to investigate the associated factors of aggressive behaviours in preschool children. Patients and Methods: Seventy two children (aged between 1 and 6) with primary complaints of severe aggressive behaviours by their parents and 72 healthy controls were included in the study. A semi-structured inquiry-form on demographic features, personal and psychiatric characteristics of parents and mother-child relationship patterns were given to the mothers. The Aberrant Behaviour Checklist (ABC) and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) were given to the mothers. Results: Parental education levels were lower in the patient group. Parents' problematic experiences with anger, mothers' feelings of insufficiency in parenting and marital quarreling were found to be higher in the patient group. The frequency of depressive and/or anxiety symptoms during pregnancy and the postnatal period as well as mothers' current BDI scores were higher in the patient group. According to a logistic regression analysis, the ABC hyperactivity score, mothers' feelings of insufficiency in parenting and fathers' problematic experiences with anger were found to be associated with aggressive behaviours in the patients. Conclusion: Aggression in preschool children is associated with multiple factors. The examination of parental characteristics appears to be especially important in the evaluation of affected children.

    The association of music preferences and depressive symptoms in high school students: A community-based study from Istanbul
    (Sage Publications Inc, 2013) Ekinci, Ozalp; Bez, Yasin; Sabuncuoglu, Osman; Berkem, Meral; Akin, Elif; Imren, Sebla Gokce
    We investigated the association of music preferences with depressive symptoms among high school students in Istanbul; 10th-, 11th- and 12th-grade students (N = 1226) were chosen for the study. The Children's Depression Inventory (CDI) and a detailed, semi-structured, self-report inquiry assessing music preferences and various psychosocial variables were administered to the students. Adolescents reporting heavy metal music and arabesque music in their playlists had significantly higher CDI total scores compared to adolescents who did not report these genres in their playlists. The percentage of students with problematic parent relations was highest for those with preferences for heavy metal music. Alcohol use was highest among students with preferences for dance/hip-hop music, followed by those with preferences for heavy metal. Negative thoughts and feelings when listening to music were related to higher CDI scores regardless of the favourite music genre. Future studies are needed to clarify the relationship between music preferences and specific psychopathologies in adolescents.

    Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and Social Anxiety in Istanbul Heavy Metal Bar Patrons
    (Galenos Publ House, 2011) Ekinci, Ozalp; Bez, Yasin; Topcuoglu, Volkan; Nurmedow, Serdar
    Objective: We aimed to examine the heavy metal bar patrons in Istanbul by means of self-reported questionnaires for psychiatric disorder symptoms. Material and Methods: Seventy-one volunteers from 4 popular heavy metal bars were included to the study. The Beck Depression Inventory, the Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale (LSAS), the Adult Attention Deficit Disorder/Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder (ADD/ADHD) Scale and the Michigan Alcoholism Screening Test (MAST) were administered to the participants. Results: One fourth of the participants (25.4%) were under high risk for a depressive episode (BDI > 17), 22 (32.3%) reported significant social anxiety (LSAS > 30), and 41(57.7%) showed moderate ADHD symptoms (Adult ADD/ADHD scale: 20-59). According to BDI score participants who were under the risk for depression showed higher scores in Adult ADD/ADHD scale scores than that of participants who were not under a risk for depression (p=0.001 for attention deficit; p=0.003 for hyperactivity; p=0.002 for impulsivity; p=0.001 for total score). In the study group, ADD/ADHD scale attention deficit score was positively correlated with the total fear, total avoidence and the total scores of LSAS (r=.359 p < 0.01; r=.332 p < 0.01; r=.358 p < 0.01, respectively). Conclusion: Heavy metal bar patrons appear to be a particular social group with an increased risk of psychopathology.

    The phenomenology of autistic regression: subtypes and associated factors
    (Springer, 2012) Ekinci, Ozalp; Arman, Ayse Rodopman; Melek, Ismet; Bez, Yasin; Berkem, Meral
    This study aimed to investigate the association of autistic regression (AR) and subtypes of AR with medical, developmental and psychiatric factors. Fifty-seven children with autistic spectrum disorders (ASD) were included in the study. Two types of AR are defined as regression after a normal social/language development (type 1) and regression as the worsening of previously reported autistic features (type 2). The frequency of history of AR was 56.1%. Male gender and sleep problems were found to be associated with a positive history of AR. The frequency of gastrointestinal complaints/diseases was higher in children with regression type 2 when compared to the children with regression type 1. Future studies with larger sample size and prospective design will contribute to clarifying the phenomenology and the associated factors of AR.
