The study has two main objectives. The first one is to determine whether these variables differ according to gender. The second objective involves the evaluation of a theoretical model that reveals the mediating effect of hope in the link between self-compassion and resilience. The study included a total of 730 students (16.00±1.02 years old), 426 female and 304 male participants. Difference statistics were analyzed using Independent Sample t-test. As a result of the analysis, it was seen that the mean scores of self-compassion and psychological resilience of male students were higher than female students. However, it was found that participants' hope scores did not differ based on gender. Mediation analysis was conducted using regression-based bootstrapping. In the mediation analysis, direct effects revealed that self-compassion significantly predicted hope and resilience, and hope significantly predicted resilience. When the indirect effect was examined, it was observed that the path coefficient between self-compassion and psychological resilience decreased significantly with the inclusion of hope as a mediator variable. Therefore, it was concluded that hope partially mediates the relationship between psychological resilience and self-compassion.","PeriodicalId":280499,"journal":{"name":"Türk Psikolojik Danışma ve Rehberlik Dergisi","volume":"204 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139317508","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To this end, I discuss the theoretical framework and therapeutic process of solution-focused counseling and the predispositions of counselors to provide solution-focused counseling from a contextual perspective. An important implication from this investigation is that traits such as authoritativeness, approval for power inequalities, and external locus of control may harm the applicability of this approach in Turkey. However, it is possible to say that the solution-oriented approach is compatible with the Turkish people in many ways. In this respect, solution-focused counselors may need different methods to work more harmoniously with Turkish clients. In conclusion, considering the cultural features of Turkish society, I make recommendations about what these methods might be and how solution-focused counseling adapted better.","PeriodicalId":280499,"journal":{"name":"Türk Psikolojik Danışma ve Rehberlik Dergisi","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139323622","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Regret plays a significant role in this evaluation. Acknowledging regret is crucial, as it helps in rectifying undesirable past decisions and making healtier options in the future. Regret has cognitive and affective dimentions. Cognitive regret refers to reviewing past decisions, while affective regret belong to negative emotions. This study aims to adapt the regret elements scale (RES) in the Turkish adult population. The study involved 48 participants in the pilot application stage, 40 participants in the language validity stage, 599 participants in the confirmatory factor analysis stage, and 52 participants in the test-retest stage. The participants' ages ranged from 18 to 60 years. The study examined the language validity, confirmatory factor analysis, and criterion-related validity of the scale. Additionally, reliability measures such as Cronbach Alpha internal consistency coefficient, Spearman-Brown split-half reliability, test-retest reliability coefficient, and differences between the 27% lower and upper groups were utilized. Mean explained variance (AVE) and combined reliability (CR) values were also calculated. The findings indicate that the language validity of the scale was high (.80). Confirmatory factor analysis revealed that the 2-dimensional and 10-item scale had acceptable fit indices [x2 / df= 2.09, RMSEA= .043, SRMR= .07, NNFI /TLI = .91, CFI= .94, GFI= .92]. The scale and its sub-dimensions were negatively correlated with Satisfaction with Life. Reliability analyses found high Cronbach's Alpha reliability (.92), Spearman-Brown split-half reliability (.95), and test-retest reliability (.75) coefficients, as well as significant differences between the regret score averages of the lower and upper groups of 27%. The AVE and CR values of the scale were also high. The findings suggest that the 2-dimensional (affective regret and cognitive regret) and 10-item RES is a valid and reliable measuring tool for assessing regret in the field of mental health for adult individuals in Turkey. Overall, the RES can be considered a useful tool for measuring regret and its various dimensions. It is thought that the adaptation of the regret elements scale (RES), which includes these dimentions, will contribute to the literature.","PeriodicalId":280499,"journal":{"name":"Türk Psikolojik Danışma ve Rehberlik Dergisi","volume":"65 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136277832","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Factors leading to a person's resilience are countless, but one of the important factors explaining why some individuals do not develop any kind of pathology in the face of trauma is emotion regulation. The degree that a person experiences difficulty in emotion regulation is a predictive factor for his/her resilience in the face of adverse childhood events, such as abuse and neglect. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships among childhood traumas, difficulties in emotion regulation, and resilience among university students. The analysis was conducted with 404 participants. The demographic form, Childhood Trauma Questionnaire, Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Questionnaire Brief Form, and Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale were used for data collection. The results confirmed that difficulties in emotion regulation mediated the relationship between childhood traumas and resilience.

This study specifically examines the mediating role of co-rumination between emotional regulation and communication skills in an educational setting. Data was collected from 4128 (1387 females, 2741 males) teachers working in the Turkish Ministry of National Education. Structural equation modeling was used to evaluate the mediator role of co-rumination in the relation between difficulties in emotion regulation and communication skills. Difficulties in emotion regulation predicted lower level of communication skills, which was mediated by co-rumination. Contrary to predictions, co-rumination was found to be positively correlated with communication skills. Thus, difficulties in emotion regulation lead individuals to co-ruminate more, which in return seems to be a positive variable that contributes to overall communication skills. Therefore, it can be inferred that when teachers with higher emotion regulation difficulties start to co-ruminate more, which positively increases their communication skills.","PeriodicalId":280499,"journal":{"name":"Türk Psikolojik Danışma ve Rehberlik Dergisi","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136278955","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
