ArticlePublication Open Access Culture in physical activity: The contribution of basic psychological needs and goal orientation(MDPI, 2022-12) Gürleyik, Duygu Karataş; Şen, Celia Katrine Naivar; Etnier, J. L.; Acar, İbrahim Hakkı; Psychology; GÜRLEYİK, Duygu; ŞEN, Celia Katrine Naivar; ACAR, Ibrahim HakkıNumerous variables affect motivation in physical activity (PA) with culture being an understudied variable. Self-determination theory’s basic psychological needs (BPN) includes a combination of autonomy, competence, and relatedness in PA; however, cultural definitions pit autonomy and relatedness against each other. Thus, this study aims to investigate the moderating role of culture on relationships between BPN, goal orientations (ego, task) for PA, and PA behavior. A survey was implemented to 168 participants (109 females, 59 males; 92 Turks, 76 Americans) investigating students’ self-construal type, their basic psychological needs in exercise (BPNES), PA levels (Godin Leisure-Time Exercise Questionnaire/GLTEQ), and goal orientation types (Task and Ego Orientation in Sport Questionnaire/TEOSQ). Turks (n = 92) and Americans (n = 76) demonstrated distinct cultural differences in terms of the study variables. American students were more autonomous, task-oriented, and physically active than Turkish students. Results from the multi-group path analysis showed that there was a moderating role of culture between predictors (i.e., BPN Autonomy, BPN Relatedness, BPN Competence, Ego Orientation, and Task Orientation) and Physical Activity. Such that, the paths from predictors (i.e., BPNT Autonomy, BPNT Relatedness, BPNT Competence, Ego Orientation, and Task Orientation) to PA was not significant in Turkish cultural context. Results suggest that culturally tailored approaches to PA interventions are critical in supporting motivation for physical activity and further research is needed to explore different culturally relevant motivational drivers for PA among adults.ArticlePublication Open Access The role of physical activity on parental rejection and body image perceptions(MDPI, 2020-04) Şen, Celia Katrine Naivar; Gürleyik, Duygu Karataş; Psouni, E.; Psychology; ŞEN, Celia Katrine Naivar; GÜRLEYİK, DuyguThe present study investigated the potential moderating role of physical activity on the relationship between parental rejection and poor body image perceptions. Late adolescents and young adults from Turkey (N = 373; 256 females/117 males) reported their memories of upbringing (Egna Minnen Betraffande Uppfostran/EMBU) related to both their mother and father, respectively, levels of physical activity (International Physical Activity Questionnaires/IPAQ), and body image perception (Body Cathexis Scale/body dissatisfaction and Social Physique Anxiety Scale/SPAS). EMBU mother and father rejection scores were combined and dichotomized, placing participants into high and low rejection groups. Multiple analysis of covariance, controlling for gender and body mass index, showed that high parental rejection was associated with poorer overall body image perception (eta (2) = 0.09; eta (2) (Body Dissatisfaction) = 0.09; eta (2) (SPAS) = 0.04), whereas higher physical activity was linked to better body image perception eta (2) = 0.02; eta (2) (Body Dissatisfaction) = 0.04; eta (2) (SPAS) = 0.03). While level of physical activity did not mediate the negative relationship between parental rejection on body image perceptions, very physically active individuals recalling high parental rejection displayed body image perceptions similar to participants with low parental rejection. Thus, although higher parental rejection is related to poorer body image perception, interventions targeting regular physical activity may help buffer against these negative effects.
ArticlePublication Metadata only Siblings under the shadow: A qualitative study of young adults’ parentification experiences with siblings with special needs(Taylor & Francis, 2024) Hanöz, Lale; Özgün, Serkan; Saydam, Fehime Senem Zeytinoğlu; Şen, Celia Katrine Naivar; Ayyıldız, E.; Psychology; ÖZGÜN, Serkan; SAYDAM, Fehime Senem Zeytinoğlu; ŞEN, Celia Katrine Naivar; Hanöz, LaleUsing systemic theory as the framework, this qualitative study focused on the parentification experiences of young adults with typical development who have siblings with special needs. The sample consisted of 10 siblings. Thematic analysis yielded one overarching theme: parentification. Under the overarching theme of parentification, the levels of themes are personal, family and romantic relationships. Family level themes entail having a lack of sufficient family support, co-managing caregiving processes with parents and taking active roles in family conflict resolution. Personal level themes are difficulties of being parentified, difficulty in accepting the condition and the development of empathy skills. Relationship level covers impact on the future decision making and the similar relationship patterns between one’s own couple and family subsystems. The results are discussed through a culturally informed lens around the qualities of Turkish family dynamics and values. Clinicians should consider the influence of parentification while working with psychotherapy.ArticlePublication Metadata only Rejection sensitivity and mental well-being: The positive role of friendship quality(Wiley, 2022-03) Efeoğlu, B.; Şen, Celia Katrine Naivar; Psychology; ŞEN, Celia Katrine NaivarPrevious research shows a link between rejection sensitivity (RS) and various psychological disorders; however, its relation to the positive psychological construct of mental well-being remains unstudied. This study investigates the relationship between RS and mental well-being while taking the role of friendship quality into consideration for 323 emerging adults using decision tree analysis. In training (R2 =.29) and test trees (R2 =.18), RS had the strongest relationship with mental well-being where those higher in RS had lower mental well-being scores. For those lower in RS, higher combined (same-sex and opposite-sex) friendship quality was associated with higher mental well-being. Whereas for those higher in RS, higher same-sex friendship quality was associated with higher mental well-being. As our findings indicate, friendship quality may play a buffering role for emerging adults, keeping their mental well-being at more preferable levels especially for those with higher RS. Implications for future studies and interventions to boost friendship quality are discussed.
