    An Investigation of the Differences in the Dark Triad and the Big Five Personality Traits Across Majors
    (2019) Göncü Köse, Aslı; Ekren, Buse; 166202; Çankaya Üniversitesi, Fen - Edebiyat Fakültesi, Psikoloji Bölümü
    The Dark Triad (DT) personality traits include interrelated personality constructs which are Machiavellianism, narcissism, and psychopathy, and research has shown that individuals who are high on the DT personality traits tend to choose occupations that provide outcomes compatible with these traits. Supporting this reasoning, the DT is suggested to have impacts on major choices of university students. Previous research has also shown that the Big Five (BF) personality traits influenced educational choices. The main aim of the current study was to examine whether or not self-selection based on these personality characteristics predicted career choices. Data was collected from 659 (359 female) newly enrolled students in seven academic majors (i.e., psychology, law, economics/business, engineering, political science, medicine, and education) in Turkey. Mean scores of the groups were compared using two (gender) by seven (major) analysis of variance with the DT and BF personality traits as the dependent variables. The results revealed that Machiavellianism scores of economics/business and engineering students were significantly higher than those of psychology students. In addition, psychopathy scores of engineering, economics/business, and political science students were higher than those of psychology students. Neuroticism scores of students from psychology departments were higher than those of engineering, economics/business, and political science students. Law and education students’ neuroticism scores were also higher than those of students from engineering and economics/business departments. Finally, interaction effects of major and gender were significant for openness to experience and conscientiousness. The findings are discussed regarding theoretical and practical implications along with suggestions for future research.

    Antecedents of problematic social media use and cyberbullying among adolescents: attachment, the dark triad and rejection sensitivity
    (2023-12) Demircioğlu, Zeynep Işıl; Göncü Köse, Aslı; 166202; Çankaya Üniversitesi, Fen - Edebiyat Fakültesi, Psikoloji Bölümü
    With the acceleration of internet use, problematic social media use (PSMU) is included in our lives. When looking at the antecedents of PSMU, being young has been found to be a risk factor for PSMU. In addition to the benefits of technological advances in education and training, rapid technological developments may also result in problematic behaviors, especially among children and young. Recently, possibilities brought by technology and more widespread use of technology by young people have created a new concept, namely, cyberbullying. The present study aims to examine the effects of attachment anxiety and avoidance on PSMU and cyberbullying as with the partial mediating effects of the Dark Triad personality traits, angry rejection sensitivity, and anxious rejection sensitivity among adolescents. In general, the findings supported the proposed theoretical model. The results are discussed in terms of theoretical and practical implications along with suggestions for future research.

    Are Teens at Risk? An Overview of Social Media Addiction among Adolescents
    (2021) Demircioğlu, Zeynep Işıl; Göncü Köse, Aslı; 166202; Çankaya Üniversitesi, Fen - Edebiyat Fakültesi, Psikoloji Bölümü
    Belongingness and interpersonal communication are among the most essential human needs. However, the ways individuals satisfy these needs change with the advances in technology. Especially with the increase of internet usage, social media platforms became the primary source that satisfies these needs of individuals. However, despite of its contribution to social communication, recent research also revealed the negative consequences of social media use, especially those of social media addiction. Social media addiction (SMA) is defined as possessing a high motivation or inner tendency to use social media to an extent that it leads to dysfunctional outcomes such as failure in work/academic performance, decline in psychological well-being, or breakdown in social relationships. As an initial step for prevention programs, identifying the antecedents and the protective factors for SMA is as important as revealing its consequences. In the present chapter, characteristics of SMA, along with antecedents and consequences of SMA among adolescents are summarized. Furthermore, future directions for SMA research, practical implications and intervention strategies indicated in the literature to prevent SMA among adolescents are presented.

    Effects of attachment styles, dark triad, rejection sensitivity, and relationship satisfaction on social media addiction: A mediated model
    (Springer, 2018) Demircioğlu, Zeynep Işıl; Göncü Köse, Aslı; 166202; Çankaya Üniversitesi, Fen Edebiyat Fakültesi, Psikoloji Bölümü
    The aim of the present study is to investigate the mediating effects of attachment styles, rejection sensitivity and the Dark Triad personality traits on the links between relationship satisfaction and social media addiction. It is proposed that insecure attachment styles (i.e., preoccupied, dismissing, and fearful attachment styles), rejection sensitivity, and the Dark Triad personality traits (i.e., Machiavellianism, narcissism and psychopathy) are negatively associated with relationship satisfaction, which, in turn, is negatively related to social media addiction. The data were collected from 229 university students from 14 different universities in four different cities of Turkey. The results of the structural equation modeling analyses revealed that relationship (dis) satisfaction was a significant predictor of social media addiction; and also, it partially mediated the link of fearful attachment with social media addiction. Furthermore, the direct positive paths from fearful attachment, rejection sensitivity and psychopathy to social media addiction were significant. The findings were discussed regarding the theoretical and practical implications along with suggestions for future research.

    Effects of paternalistic and transformational leadership on follower outcomes

    We investigated the motivations through which paternalistic (PL), and transformational (TL) leadership styles of managers were associated with employees’ organizational citizenship behaviors (OCB). PL is common in Eastern cultures, and may be as effective as TL, which is more common in Western cultures, to elicit positive employee outcomes such as OCB. We showed that in Turkish cultural context, both leadership styles enhanced trust in leaders, and trust, in turn, enhanced the intrinsic motivations of employees to perform OCB. PL and TL were related to OCB through different extrinsic motivations. TL increased the perception of instrumentality of OCB for leaders and for work group members which was associated with actual performance of OCB. PL enhanced employees’ motivation to manage their impression which, in turn, was positively related to their OCB.

    Employees’ relative deprivation for females and supervisory commitment: The mediating roles of interpersonal justice, informational justice, and perceived empathy
    (2014) Göncü Köse, Aslı; 166202; Çankaya Üniversitesi, Fen-Edebiyat Fakültesi, Psikoloji Bölümü
    The present study aims to test a model derived from a conceptual framework that attempted to explain negative interactions among supervisor-employee dyads from a Relative Deprivation Theory (RDT) and justice-related perspective. Employees’ perceptions of fraternal (group) deprivation on part of females compared to males in their organizations were suggested to be related to their interpersonal and informational justice perceptions as well as their perceptions of supervisors’ empathy. Employees’ perceptions of justice and empathy, in turn, were suggested to be positively associated with overall supervisory commitment. Moreover, the moderating effects of employee gender on the proposed relationships were investigated. The data was collected from 114 employees who were enrolled in undergraduate classes in a Southwestern university in USA. The proposed model as well as the alternative models were tested by Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) technique using AMOS 6.0 software. The findings revealed that proposed mediated model was supported by the data for the independent variable of employee perceptions of “affective” relative deprivation for females in the organization and for the dependent variables of “affective supervisory commitment” and “continuance supervisory commitment”. However, employees’ gender did not have a moderating effect on the relationships in the mediated model that was supported by the data. The results are discussed in terms of their theoretical and practical implications as well as the suggestions for future research.

    Supervisors’ leadership styles are among the most important variables that influence employees’ work motivation. However, in Turkey, only a limited number of studies examined the effects of leadership styles on employee motivations and on distal work-related outcomes via their influences on these motivations. The present study aimed to examine the links of paternalistic and transformational leadership with employees’ work motivations by using a valid and reliable work motivation measure and to test the mediating roles of motivations in the relationships between leadership styles and employees’ turnover intentions. In Study 1, data were collected from 456 employees and the Multidimensional Work Motivation Scale (MWMS; Gagné et al., 2014), which was developed within the framework of Self-Determination Theory (Deci & Ryan, 1985), was adapted to Turkish. In Study 2, data were collected from 388 employees and the proposed model was tested using structural equation modeling. Study 1 revealed that the factor structure and the predictive validity results of the adapted MWMS were consistent with those of its versions in other languages. Study 2 showed that both leadership styles were associated with motivation dimensions in the proposed directions; however, motivations partially mediated only the link between transformational leadership and turnover intentions.

    Yöneticilerin liderlik tipleri çalışanların iş motivasyonlarını en fazla etkileyen faktörler arasında yer almaktadır ancak, Türkiye’de hem bu etkileri hem de liderlik stillerinin çalışan motivasyonları aracılığı ile işle ilgili diğer sonuçdeğişkenleri üzerindeki etkilerini inceleyen araştırmalar az sayıdadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, yöneticilerin babacan vedönüşümcü liderlik stilleri ile çalışanların çok boyutlu iş motivasyonları arasındaki ilişkileri geçerliği ve güvenirliğitest edilmiş bir ölçek kullanarak Türkiye örnekleminde incelemek (Çalışma 1); ayrıca, liderlik tipleri ile işten ayrılmaniyetleri arasındaki ilişkilerde çok boyutlu iş motivasyonunun kısmi aracı rolünü test etmektir (Çalışma 2). Bu amaçla,Çalışma 1’de 456 çalışandan veri toplanmış ve Gagné ve arkadaşları (2014) tarafından Öz Belirleme Kuramı (Decive Ryan, 1985) temel alınarak geliştirilen Çok Boyutlu İş Motivasyonu Ölçeği’nin (ÇBİMÖ) Türkçeye adaptasyonçalışması gerçekleştirilmiştir.

    Using qualitative and quantitative methodologies, in three consecutive studies with employed samples, we developed measures of workplace incivility, mobbing, and abusive supervision sensitive to the nuances of a non-Western context (i.e., Türkiye). In Study 1, we first conducted 15 focus groups (N = 149), identified culture-specific and universal themes underlying the focal mistreatment types, and developed the initial scales. We then pilot-tested (N = 427) and refined the scales using exploratory factor analytic procedures. In Study 2, confirmatory factor analyses (N range = 456-524) and associations between the new scales and their widely used counterparts (N = 353) yielded evidence for the construct validity of the scales. Study 2 also involved the development of short forms of relatively long incivility and abusive supervision scales. In Study 3 (N = 482), we first examined the extent to which the three scales were operationally distinct. Second, we examined the scales’ ability to predict burnout and organizational commitment. Results supported operational distinctiveness as well as the criterion-related validity of the scales. A dominance analysis revealed that the three scales had equivalent contributions in explaining the two outcome variables, further justifying their distinctiveness. We argue that the use of present scales is not necessarily restricted to the Turkish context and may prove useful more broadly in other neo-traditional contexts.

    The primary aim of the present study was to explore whether paternalistic or transformational leadership styles of supervisors were significantly related to workplace procrastination. Moreover, the potential mediation effects of organizational citizenship behaviors (specifically, civic virtue, and conscientiousness) and turnover intention in the link between leadership style and procrastination of the employees were investigated on a heuristic model. Data was collected through online surveys from 126 Turkish full-time office employees. The goodness-of-fit of the proposed model was tested using structural equation modeling and the mediation analysis was performed by bootstrapping. As expected, transformational leadership and organizational citizenship behaviors were negatively related to workplace procrastination. However, there was no significant link between paternalistic leadership and procrastination. Moreover, turnover intention and organizational citizenship behaviors did not mediate this relationship. These findings suggest that transformational leadership style could be a more effective style for diminishing employees' excessive nonwork related behaviors

    Objective: In the present time, internet and social media have become indispensable parts of our lives. Apart from the advantages of social media, some individuals have begun to suffer from Social Media Addiction (SMA) which is associated with dysfunctions in academic and/or work domains. Although outcomes of SMA have been relatively widely investigated, its predictive factors have not been studied extensively yet. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of secure, fearful, and preoccupied attachment styles on SMA and the mediating role of self-esteem in the links between attachment styles and SMA.

    We examined how abusive supervision (AS) affected instigated workplace incivility, counterproductive work behaviors (CWBs), organizational citizenship behaviors (OCBs), and multidimensional work motivations (MWMs), in line with the Job Demands-Resources Model and Social Exchange Theory. We suggested that employees' identification with their workgroup moderates the link between AS and instigated incivility toward coworkers and that organizational identification partially mediates the association of AS with CWBs and OCBs. Furthermore, we hypothesized positive correlations between AS and external regulation as well as amotivation, consistent with the Self-Determination Theory. Finally, we predicted that job-related affective well-being would fully mediate the link between AS and autonomous work motivations while only partially mediating the link between AS and amotivation. Online surveys were used to collect data from 519 white-collar workers. The data revealed that AS was linked to a higher level of incivility toward coworkers. Furthermore, it was linked to both CWBs and OCBs, both directly and indirectly through organizational identification. Organizational identification mediated the associations between AS and MWMs as well. Finally, job-related affective well-being mediated the links of AS with external regulation, amotivation, and autonomous work motivations. Theoretical and practical implications of the findings are discussed as well as suggestions for future research.

    With the acceleration of communication and access to information, individuals have begun to date via social networking sites. Although online dating has spread among university students recently, studies on this topic are very limited. The present study aimed to investigate the effects of the Dark Triad personality traits (i.e., Machiavellianism, psychopathy, and narcissism) on using Social Networking Sites (SNS) to find partners and face-to-face meeting/dating after flirting via the internet (i.e., face-to-face dating with a partner met via SNS). Furthermore, it was also aimed to identify the mediating roles of risk-taking and impulsivity in the relationships mentioned above. Data were collected from 358 University students (223 females and 135 males) who volunteered to complete the survey packages. The data was analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The age of the participants ranged between 18 and 49 (M = 22.67, SD = 2.83). The results revealed that narcissism was linked to using SNS to find partners, and impulsivity fully mediated the relationships of Machiavellianism with using SNS to find partners. In addition, the links of psychopathy with using SNS to find partners were partially mediated by impulsivity, with risk-taking fully mediating the effects of psychopathy and narcissism on face-to-face dating with a partner met via SNS. The present research revealed that impulsivity and risk-taking were the common attitudes underlying the links of psychopathy and narcissism with dating someone met via SNS. For individuals who score high on Machiavellianism, a low level of impulsivity is a protective factor; whereas a high level of impulsivity is a triggering factor that leads those with high psychopathy scores to search for partners via SNS. Contrary to expectations, narcissism was not directly associated with face-to-face dating a partner who was met via SNS. This finding may be related to the unidimensional measurement of narcissism, since grandiose narcissism is more likely to be positively associated with this risky and confident behavior, whereas vulnerable narcissism is less likely to have such an association
