    Relations Among Emotional Mood State Personality Dimensions and Social Desirability in Older Adults
    (Gunes Kitabevi Ltd Sti, 2018) Kaynak, Hande; 101097
    Introduction: Previous studies have shown that older adults report higher levels of positive affect (PA). Studies in the context of the five-factor model of personality have also noted the age-related changes in personality. However, the possible influence of personality on emotional state needs further investigation in older adulthood. This study examines relations among personality traits, social desirability, and positive/negative affectivity in conjunction with aging. Materials and Method: A total of 123 volunteers (62 young and 61 older adults) was participated in the study. A cross-design was used with consecutive sampling. All participants had higher education. Participants completed the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule as a measure of emotional state. Thereafter, they rated the degree to which each item described themselves on the Five-Factor Personality Inventory, which measures personality dimensions and social desirability. Results: Independent t-tests were conducted to compare young and older adults in terms of affectivity and personality. Findings revealed that older adults reported less negative affect (NA) compared with young adults. Older adults scored higher on agreeableness, conscientiousness, and social desirability, whereas young adults scored higher on extraversion and neuroticism. Based on correlational results, neuroticism was negatively correlated with extraversion, social desirability, and PA in older adults. Analyses of variance showed that conscientiousness, neuroticism, and social desirability impacted positive/negative affectivity. Conclusion: The results indicated that neuroticism proved to be the most important factor on emotional well-being. Older adults low on neuroticism experienced less NA. Furthermore, conscientiousness and social desirability had strong effects on PA indicating that the age-related differences found in affectivity might not only be attributable to age-related changes in personality, but also partly attributable to age-related increases in social desirability.

    The Mediator Role of Positive and Negative Affect in the Relationship Between Sleep Quality, Depressive Symptoms and Anxiety in Young Adults
    (Galenos Publ House, 2022) Fidantek, Hulya; Yazihan, Naksidil; Tuna, Ezgi; 163887; Psikoloji
    Objective: It is known that individuals with poor sleep quality show significantly more depression and anxiety symptoms. It is important to investigate possible factors that may make individuals more vulnerable to develop depression and anxiety. For this purpose, the possible mediator roles of positive affect (PA) and negative affect (NA) in the relationship between sleep quality and depression- anxiety symptoms in young adults were tested by using multiple mediation analysis. Materials and Methods: The sample of the study consisted of 387 volunteer participants aged between 18 and 35 years (mean=22.83, standard deviation=3.20). Data consisting of Pittsburgh sleep quality index, positive and negative emotion scale, and brief symptom inventory were collected through an online computer-assisted protocol. Results: Significant positive correlations were found between low sleep quality scores and both depressive and anxiety symptoms. According to the two mediator variable models, low sleep quality influenced depressive symptoms indirectly through PA and NA, and anxiety through only NA. Alternative models of the results showed that depressive symptoms influenced sleep quality partially through PA and NA, while anxiety mediated this relationship only through PA. Conclusion: Alternative models tested to understand the direction of the relationship between depressive-anxiety symptoms and sleep quality. Although the results were significant, the explained variance was found to be less explanatory than the first and second models. The results of the study supported the idea that sleep quality, PA and NA should be targeted while developing prevention and intervention programs for depression and anxiety.
