The study carried out with 263 undergraduate students that were included with purposive sampling method. To examine the construct validity of AIRS, confirmatory factor analysis was conducted. The results showed that goodness of fit indices meet the model fit requirements for the two-factor structure of the scale (χ2 / df= 1.8; GFI= 0.88; CFI= 0.90; TLI= .88; RMSEA= 0.05). The internal consistency coefficient was found .80. As an evidence for the convergent validity, Authenticity in Relationships Scale was found to have significantly positive correlations with the Authenticity Scale and Relationship Assessment Scale. Moreover, the results of measurement invariance analysis showed that scale has the same measurement body of items in females and males and the answer patterns are similar in both genders indicating ...

At the beginning of the study, linguistic equivalence was examined. After observing that the scale is linguistically equivalent to the original form, the Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was applied for the construct validity. Confirmatory Factor Analysis was employed to calculate fit indices and the results showed that goodness of fit indices of the scale are within acceptable limits for two factor (χ2/sd=1.927, RMSEA=.049, GFI=.90, CFI=.90, IFI=.90) and for the one factor model (χ2/sd=1.904, RMSEA=.049, GFI=.90, CFI=.90, TLI=.90). The Cronbach's alpha internal consistency coefficient was found to range between .73 and .87 for each subscale and the total scale. The results revealed that corrected item total correlations were between .50 and .85 and the t-test results for the upper 27% and lower 27% of...

Participants of the study were 327 undergraduate students (236 female, 91 male) with the mean age of 20.3 (SD=1.4). The results of path analysis yielded that mindfulness has positively direct relations with self-compassion and valued living. As well, the direct effects of self-compassion and valued living on flourishing were found positively significant. Both of the indirect paths from mindfulness to flourishing through self-compassion and valued living were also emerged statistically significant. The proposed model of mindfulness came by accounting for 37% of the variance of flourishing in the current study.

However, there has been very little research into the determinants of what constitutes positive characteristics among teachers. Neither the full role played by mindfulness nor the psychological capital of teachers with positive characteristics remains unknown. This study marks the beginning of an investigation into such an issue. The sample of the study involved the participation of 374 teachers. In Model 1, the mediating role of psychological capital was tested in the relationship between mindfulness in teaching and teacher positivity. Meanwhile, in Model 2, the mediating role of mindfulness in teaching was tested in the relationship between psychological capital and positive teacher characteristics. In Model 1, the standardised path coefficients between the variables were not found to be statistically significant, thus prompting the test of a s...

The study sample consisted of 203 adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus. The data were statistically analyzed based on frequency counts, percentages, and reliability/validity analyses. The internal consistency reliability coefficient of the scale was 0.85. According to confirmatory factor analysis, the model fit indices of the scale were determined as follows: Goodness-of-Fit Index = 0.90, Comparative Fit Index = 0.93. This is the first report of a disease-specific instrument for evaluating the self-efficacy of adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus in Turkey. Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is characterized by chronic immune-mediated destruction of pancreatic β-cells, which leads to partial or, in most cases, absolute insulin deficiency (Craig et al., 2014). More than 79,000 adolescents are diagnosed as having T1DM everyday worldwide (International Diabetes Federation, 2013). In Turkey, it is estimated that there are approximately 15,000 adolescents with diabetes, most of whom are school aged, and approximately 1,500-1,700 adolescents are diagnosed as having TIDM every year (Adolescent Endocrine Society [AES], 2013). In the context of type 1 diabetes, many adolescents experience a deterioration in metabolic control, which is often attributable to erratic meal and exercise patterns, poor treatment regimen adherence, eating disorders, and endocrine changes associated with puberty, all of which lead to greater insulin resistance (Cameron, Amin, Beaufort, Codner, & Acerini, 2014). Self-management domains include insulin administration, self-monitoring of blood glucose at home, dietary behaviors, hypoglycemia preparedness, collaboration with health care staff on exercise, responsibility in care, diabetes problem-solving, communication about diabetes with parents or health care staff, and diabetes knowledge (Guo, Whittemore, & He, 2011). Support for self-management among adolescents improves their CONTACT Dijle Ayar

Participants of the study were 692 (395 female, 297 male) students attending to 9th, 10th and 11th grades. The age range of the sample was 14-19 (M = 16.24, SD=.89). A convenient sampling was used to select the participants who are picked from four high schools located in low income regions. In order to collect data, The 14-Item Resilience Scale and Dispositional Hope Scale were used as data collection instruments. The predictive effect of hope on resilience was analyzed through linear regression. Regression analysis yielded that hope explains 48% of the variance in the resilience scores of participants. This result indicates that hope is a powerful significant predictor of resilience for socioeconomically disadvantaged adolescents.

The adaptation study of the scale started with the linguistic equivalence study. After revealing that the scale was equivalent to the original form linguistically, Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was applied for the construct validity. As a result of CFA, it was observed that the two-factor structure of goodness of fit was excellent (c2/sd=2.111, IFI=.93, CFI=.93, GFI=.95 and RMSEA=.054) whereas the single factor structure was at acceptable level (c2/sd=2.982, IFI=.87, CFI=.87, GFI=.93 and RMSEA=.072) based on the compliance index value calculations. The Cronbach's-alpha internal consistency coefficient was found to be .64 for the Interpersonal Mindfulness subscale, .80 for the Intrapersonal Mindfulness subscale, and .78 for the whole scale. While the corrected item total correlations ranged from .30 to .65, it was found that t-test results for the scores of the upper 27% and lower 27% groups were significant, and the scale indicated significant relationships with the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS) (p<.05). In order to determine the test-retest reliability, correlation coefficient was found to be statistically significant in accordance with the measurements made in 3-week interval. Overall findings demonstrated that the Mindfulness in Teaching Scale is a valid and reliable measurement tool for Turkish educators.

Participants of the study were 330 university students (232 females and 97 males) along with the age mean of 20.22 (SD=1.32). In order to validate the six factor structure of Mindful Self-care Scale, a confirmatory factor analysis was conducted. For providing evidence over convergent validity, Mindful Attention Awareness Scale-Adolescent version (Brown, West, Loverich & Biegel, 2011) was concurrently used. The results of the confirmatory factor analysis displayed satisfactory evidence for the six factor Mindful Self-Care Scale (χ2 / df = 1.7; GFI = 0.87, CFI = 0.92; TLI = .91; RMSEA = 0.05). The scale was also found to be significantly correlated to Mindful Attention Awareness Scale-Adolescent (r=.27, p<.001). Also, the Cronbach Alpha value for the whole scale was found .89 yielding satisfactory evidence for the internal consistency of the instrument. The results of th...

The study group consisted of a total of 328 university students (249 female, 79 male) between 18-32 years old. The average age of the students in the study group was 20.3 and the standard deviation was 1.65. Participants of the study were selected through convenient sampling methods (Fraenkel et al., 2011). The data of this study was obtained by applying the Valued Living Scale (Wilson &Groom, 2002), The Satisfaction with Life Scale (Diener et al.,1985) and the Authenticity Scale (Wood et al., 2008). Hierarchical regression analysis was applied to test the moderating effect of authentic behavior on the relationship between valued living and life satisfaction. SPSS 20 package program (IBM, 2011) was used in the data analysis step. In this study, two models were created with hierarchical regression analysis and these two models were tested. In the first model, the...

The sample of the study consists of 342 (235 female; 107 male) undergraduate students attending to the various departments of a private university in Turkey. The average age of participants was 20.81 (SD=2.29). The Interpersonal Emotion Regulation Scale, Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale and Interpersonal Competency Scale were used. Analyses were conducted through the SPSS 20 (IBM, 2011). Results of hierarchical regression analysis revealed that interpersonal emotion regulation and emotion dysregulation seem to predict interpersonal competency. After controlling for the effect of emotion dysregulation, interpersonal emotion regulation alone explains 18% of the overall variance in interpersonal competency. Interpersonal emotion has the highest contribution on interpersonal competency followed by emotion dysregulation.

The original scale is comprised of four sub-dimensions; namely, enhancing positive affect, perspective taking, soothing, and social modeling. The study was carried out with 326 students from various departments of Medipol University. Work on adapting the scale began with an attempt to find linguistic equivalence. After ensuring this linguistically equivalence for the scale’s original form, a Confirmatory Factor Analysis was launched to examine its construct validity. The results of this confirmatory factor analysis revealed that the four-factor original structure of the scale was also valid for the Turkish sample and the goodness of fit indices of the scale was within acceptable limits. The Cronbach-Alpha internal consistency coefficient was found as .92 for the overall scale. The scale shows outstanding psychometric ch...
