    Two online surveys were conducted in Japan to develop and validate the Sleep Belief-Practice Index (SBPI) scales, a pair of new scales designed to measure beliefs (SBPI-B) and practices (SBPI-P) on sleep and its environment. Their discrepancies (SBPI-D) were calculated as differences between SBPI-B and -P. In Survey 1 (N = 400), survey data of the pilot version of the scales were entered into an exploratory factor analysis to obtain a meaningful set of scale items. In Survey 2 (N = 2952), survey data were entered into a confirmatory factor analysis and then correlation analyses to confirm associations of SBPI-D with insomnia and positive and negative feelings. Furthermore, participants were categorized into four groups according to the degree and combination of sleep beliefs and practices to compare the status of insomnia and positive and negative feelings by the groups. As a result of factor analyses, we obtained 13 common item scales of SBPI-B and -P. SBPI-D was positively correlated with insomnia and negative feelings. In addition, the group with high-scoring beliefs in SBPI-B and low-scoring practices in SBPI-P showed the most severe insomnia and negative feelings among the four groups. These results suggest that the belief-practice discrepancy about sleep can explain one aspect of insomnia.

    Psychometric properties of interpersonal emotion regulation questionnaire in Turkish adolescents
    (Springer) Ray-Yol, Elcin; Yedidag, Ecem; Sogut-Kahramanlar, Meryem; N/A; Department of Psychology; Özdemir, Ahmet Berk; Atalay, Ayşe Altan; Master Student; Teaching Faculty; Department of Psychology; Graduate School of Social Sciences and Humanities; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; N/A; 205807
    Interpersonal Emotion Regulation (IER) refers to a group of emotion regulation strategies through which people regulate their emotions by utilizing the presence of others. Studies focusing on IER have recently increased, probably due to the availability of a psychometrically sound IER measure, the Interpersonal Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (IERQ; Hofmann et al. Cognitive Therapy and Research, 40(3), 341-356, 2016). The present study sought to examine the psychometric properties of the Turkish version of IERQ with a sample of Turkish adolescents. Results confirmed the four-factor structure of IERQ with a group of 269 adolescents between ages 14 to 17. Turkish adolescent version of IERQ showed adequate levels of reliability and construct validity through the subscales' significant correlations with dimensions of intrapersonal emotion regulation and social problem-solving. Adolescence is a period where close relationships with peers are initiated, and relying on peers at times of distress becomes prominent. The adolescent version of IERQ provides the opportunity to investigate IER patterns in adolescents, which is crucial for their psychological adjustment.

    Problem orientation and psychological distress among adolescents: do cognitive emotion regulation strategies mediate their relationship?
    (Sage, 2022) Ray-Yol, Elçin; N/A; Department of Psychology; N/A; Department of Psychology; Söğüt, Meryem; Yedidağ, Ecem; Özdemir, Ahmet Berk; Atalay, Ayşe Altan; Master Student; Undergraduate Student; Master Student; Teaching Faculty; Department of Psychology; Graduate School of Social Sciences and Humanities; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; Graduate School of Social Sciences and Humanities; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; N/A; N/A; N/A; 205807
    Adolescence is a critical period for the development of attitudes and skills crucial in determining vulnerability for psychological distress. The current study aimed to focus on the association of problem orientation and cognitive emotion regulation strategies with psychological distress and demonstrate the mediator roles of adaptive and maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies in the association of problem orientation with psychological distress. Data were collected from 335 adolescents (167 female) aged 14-to-18 years (M= 14.7, SD= .95) via measures of problem orientation, cognitive emotion regulation, and psychological distress. The results revealed that maladaptive emotion regulation strategies (self-blame and other-blame) mediated the association of negative problem orientation with psychological distress. The findings emphasize the crucial roles of blaming-focused strategies in this relationship.
