So, three different two- and three-way moderated mediation models were tested. The study group of this research consists of 1251 participants from the general population of Turkey. It was determined that loneliness and psychological distress of the group receiving high social support decreased. Resilience shows a partial mediation in the relationship between loneliness and psychological distress. Besides, the relationship between loneliness and resilience is significant. Our study shows that one of the most important variables in reducing psychological distress, regardless of gender, is to reduce loneliness. This study showed that the psychological distress variable, which is one of the most important components in the evaluation of psychological well-being, is directly related to loneliness and resilience variables.","PeriodicalId":45301,"journal":{"name":"Psihologija","volume":"93 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136302291","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In total, 80 patients with episodic migraine (EM), 35 patients with chronic migraine (CM), and 50 healthy controls were included. All participants completed the Experiences in Close Relationships Inventory (ECRI), the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). In addition, patients with migraine completed the Migraine Disability Assessment (MIDAS) Questionnaire. A statistically significant difference was found between the EM and CM groups in terms of MIDAS scores. The Avoidance subscale mean scores in the EM and CM group were statistically significantly higher than the mean scores of the healthy control group. The MSPSS Total, Family and Friends subscale mean scores of the EM group and healthy control group were significantly higher than the mean scores of the CM group. MANOVA showed statistically significant differences between groups in terms of ECRI, MSPSS, and the HADS scores. Chronic migraine patients who have high levels of avoidant attachment, anxious attachment, and depression tend to experience greater migraine-related disability. In contrast, those with higher levels of perceived social support from friends and a larger social support network tend to experience less migraine-related disability. Family support is the key support system for predicting migraine-related disability. Prioritizing and improving perceived social support can minimize negative effects and prevent chronicity, making it a crucial aspect of migraine treatment.","PeriodicalId":45301,"journal":{"name":"Psihologija","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68659941","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is therefore important to understand the conditions and factors that lead to the occurrence and maintenance of PPD. The first aim of the current study was to identify whether there is a relationship between alexithymia and postpartum depressive symptoms (PPDS) in a sample of Romanian mothers. The second aim was to explore whether self-criticism and self-compassion mediate the relationship between alexithymia and PPDS. The current cross-sectional study included 307 mothers with babies aged between four weeks and one year. The results show that alexithymia, self-compassion, self-criticism, PPDS all correlated with one another, and self-criticism, self-compassion and alexithymia are significant predictors of PPDS. Moreover, self-criticism and self-compassion mediated the relationship between alexithymia and PPDS. A psychological therapy that increases self-compassion and reduces alexithymia and self-criticism may be beneficial for preventing symptoms of PPD.","PeriodicalId":45301,"journal":{"name":"Psihologija","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68659509","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Participants completed the Multidimensional Perceived Social Support Questionnaire, the Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21), the Bergen Social Media Addiction Scale, and the Satisfaction with Life Scale. The results showed that the majority of participants (78.1%) spent an increasing time on social media owing to COVID-19. PSMU significantly predicted satisfaction with life, depressive symptoms, and social support. Social support predicted significantly both satisfaction with life and depressive symptoms. Results of the mediation analysis revealed that a pathway in which social support mediates the relationships between the PSMU and depressive symptoms and satisfaction with life is possible. These results suggest that social support may be an important psychological mechanism that mitigates the influence of PSMU on mental health.","PeriodicalId":45301,"journal":{"name":"Psihologija","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68659604","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
