    Assessing the Psychometric Qualities of the Refugee Post-Migration Stress Scale: A Study of Syrian Immigrants in Turkey
    (2023) Tatlıcıoğlu, Oktay; Apak, Hıdır; Apak, Emrah; Sever, Melih
    The aim of this study is to adapt the Refugee Post-Migration Stress Scale (RPMS) to Syrian immigrants living in Türkiye and to determine the factors associated with RPMS. In this context, the WHO-5 Well-Being Index was administered with RPMS to 250 participants living in Mardin, one of Turkey's border provinces with Syria, for the study's first phase. In the second stage, RPMS and Multidimensional Perceived Social Support Scale were administered to 409 Syrians together with the demographic information form prepared by the researchers. According to the CFA results applied in the first stage, the psychometric properties of the adapted version of the scale were found to be satisfactory. In the second study, it was found that social support was negatively related to the post-migration stress levels of the participants and PMS differed significantly in terms of marital status, educational status, social support, income and employment status, language proficiency, hope for the future, and ethnicity variables. Study implications and limitations are discussed.

    Göç Sonrası Mülteci Stres Ölçeğinin Psikometrik Özelliklerinin Değerlendirilmesi: Türkiye'deki Suriyeli Göçmenler Üzerine Bir Çalışma
    (İdeal Kent Yayınları, 2023) Tatlıcıoğlu, Oktay; Apak, Hıdır; Apak, Emrah; Sever, Melih
    Bu çalışmanın amacı, Göç Sonrası Mülteci Stres Ölçeği'ni (RPMS) Türkiye'de yaşayan Suriyeli mültecilere uyarlamak ve RPMS ile ilişkili faktörleri belirlemektir. Bu kapsamda, çalışmanın ilk aşamasında Türkiye'nin Suriye ile sınır illerinden biri olan Mardin'de yaşayan 250 katılımcıya RPMS ile birlikte WHO-5 İyi Oluş Endeksi uygulanmıştır. İkinci aşamada ise 409 Suriyeliye araştırmacılar tarafından hazırlanan demografik bilgi formu ile birlikte RPMS ve Çok Boyutlu Algılanan Sosyal Destek Ölçeği uygulanmıştır. İlk aşamada uygulanan DFA sonuçlarına göre, ölçeğin uyarlanan versiyonunun psikometrik özelliklerinin tatmin edici olduğu görülmüştür. Çalışmanın ikinci aşaması için yapılan analiz sonuçlarına göre, katılımcıların sosyal destek algıları ile göç sonrası stres düzeyleri arasında olumsuz ilişki bulunmuştur. Ayrıca katılımcıların göç sonrası stres düzeylerinin medeni durum, eğitim durumu, sosyal destek, gelir ve istihdam durumu, dil yeterliliği, geleceğe yönelik umut ve etnik köken değişkenleri açısından anlamlı bir şekilde farklılaştığı tespit edilmiştir. Çalışmanın güncel önerileri ve sınırlılıkları tartışılmıştır.

    Psychological resilience mediates the relationship between BCE’s and life satisfaction: Examining Turkish students
    (Springer Nature, 2024) Sever, Melih; Tatlıcıoğlu, Oktay
    Research indicates that when examining later adulthood well-being, it is essential to consider not only the absence of adverse childhood experiences but also the presence of positive ones. This research aims to examine the relationship between benevolent childhood experiences (BCEs), psychological resilience, and life satisfaction in young adults. We collected data from 446 participants from 21 universities across Turkey via online forms. Participants self-reported their BCEs, life satisfaction, and psychological resilience. Structural equation modeling is used to test the study hypotheses. Results indicate that resilience plays a mediating role in the relationship between BCEs and life satisfaction (indirect effect =.011, 95% CI [.0039,.0210]). Considering the findings, we recommend assessing BCEs and psychological resilience along with adverse childhood experiences to monitor later adulthood well-being in students.

    Resilience and hopelessness mediate the relationship between benevolent childhood experiences and life satisfaction: evidence from a cross-cultural study
    (BioMed Central Ltd., 2024) Sever, Melih; Tatlıcıoğlu, Oktay; Almeida, Telma Catarina; Abdul Azeez, E. P.; Caridade, Sónia; Cunha, Olga
    Background: A growing body of literature focuses on the role of benevolent childhood experiences (BCEs) in predicting adulthood well-being, in addition to adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). However, cross-cultural differences are generally ignored in this endeavor. Hence, this study aimed to explore the role of BCEs in predicting life satisfaction, resilience, and hopelessness. We also examined the potential of resilience and the role of hopelessness in mediating the relationship between BCE and life satisfaction. Methods: A total of 850 university students from Turkey (n = 371), Portugal (n = 248), and India (n = 231), aged 17 to 58 years (M = 22.12, SD = 4.41), participated in the study. Participants completed an online protocol consisting of measures to assess BCEs, life satisfaction, resilience, and hopelessness. Results: BCEs, hopelessness, and life satisfaction have significantly differed among the samples based on the country of residence. BCEs were positively correlated to resilience and life satisfaction and negatively to hopelessness. In the sequential mediation model, after controlling for country and sex, resilience and hopelessness sequentially mediated the relationship between BCEs and life satisfaction. BCEs were associated with life satisfaction, resilience, and hopelessness across countries and sexes. The model explains 42.8% of the variability. Conclusion: Despite differences between countries, BCEs are important predictors of adult well-being in all three countries and should be monitored along with ACE. Further, resilience seems to have an important role in lowering the negative consequences of lower BCEs and feelings of hopelessness, pointing to the need to strengthen psychological resilience among adults.
