The mediating role of lifelong learning perception in the relationship between distance education and job satisfaction
In today's rapidly changing educational environment, teachers' lifelong learning tendencies, attitudes towards distance education, and job satisfaction are critical for the sustainability of educational quality. We examined the relationship between lifelong learning, attitudes towards distance education, and job satisfaction. We analyzed the data collected from 488 teachers through partial least squares structural equation modeling. The findings …
The early signs of giftedness
Compared to other age groups, giftedness practices (i.e., screening, identification, or education) in the early ages are less widespread and more heterogeneous; but, for accurate screening of giftedness, its traits in the early ages must be refined. Existing tools mostly integrate teacher observations and parental input in the process. Using a two-stage sequential mixed-methods design, we developed and tested a 23-item giftedness adjectives check…
Moderating effect of post-earthquake trauma
Introduction This study examined whether and how post-earthquake trauma moderates the associations between intrinsic motivation, resilience, self-efficacy, and academic grit. Methods Data were collected from 1,007 high school survivors of the 2023 Kahramanmaraş earthquakes in Adıyaman and Osmaniye. Multigroup structural equation modeling compared structural paths across low-, medium-, and high-trauma groups, with FIML estimation and bootstrap con…
Awaiting on the rubble
The findings underscore that ambiguous loss functions as a distinct and particularly debilitating form of grief, where the initial uncertainty may disrupt the mourning process. The findings highlight the critical need for support systems and interventions that address this type of unique trauma and foster long-term adaptive coping strategies

We collected data through semi-structured interviews with 18 gifted adolescents and used research diaries and thematic document analysis of participants’ social media accounts ( n = 10) and their profile statements ( n = 12). Results show that gifted adolescents prefer to remain anonymous, strive to create a positiv…
The validation of the Persian death anxiety scale in cardiac outpatients
Death anxiety is a common psychological concern among individuals with serious health conditions, including cardiovascular diseases. Reliable assessment of this construct requires culturally adapted and validated instruments. This cross-sectional psychometric study aimed to examine the validity and reliability of the Persian version of the Death Anxiety Scale among cardiac outpatients. A total of 272 participants completed the Persian version of …
The Japanese adaptation and validation of the Covid‐19 Phobia Scale (C19P‐S)
There exists a significant need of screening, measuring, and assessing phobic reactions to the negative effects and consequences of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) across the world. For this purpose, the C19P‐S has b een developed and adapted to several languages and cultures including Turkish, Russian, Arabic, English, Korean, and soforth. This study aimed to adapt the scale into Japanese. Convenience sampling was used in the recruitment of …
The validation of the Arabic version of the Coronavirus‐2019 Phobia Scale (C19P‐SA) and individual differences in coronaphobia experiences among an Arabic population
The current study adapted the Coronavirus 19 Phobia Scale into Arabic and tested the psychometric properties of the adapted version on 469 Arabic‐speaking individuals (mean age = 29.57 years old; SD = 10.39; range = 9–71 years old). After confirmatory analysis found supporting evidence for the four‐factor structure, consequent analysis on convergent and discriminant validity and reliability of the Arabic version are also supported. A 2 × 2 betwee…

The Persian Version of the Covid-19 Phobia Scale (Persian-C19P-S) and the Differences in Covid-19-Related Phobic Reactions in Patients with Anxiety Disorders
Adapting and validating the coronavirus-19 phobia scale (C19P-S) in Korea
The COVID-19 Phobia Scale (C19P-S) was developed as a screening tool for coronaphobia related to the current COVID-19 pandemic but to date has not been adapted to and validated in Asia. The current study aimed to adapt and validate the C19P-S with a sample of 321 Korean individuals. Analyses showed that the Korean C19P-S (C19P-SK) has excellent reliability ( α = .95) and confirmed its structural validity, and convergent and discriminant validity.…
Covid-19 Phobia in the United States
This study validated the COVID-19 Phobia Scale (C19P-SE) based on data collected from 227 adults in the United States. Results indicated that the C19P-SE has adequate reliability ( α = .93) along with factorial, discriminant, and convergent validity. Results of confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) supported the four-factor structure of the C19P-SE. Concurrent validity results indicate a significant positive correlation between coronaphobia and stat…
Individualism and internet addiction
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the mediating role of psychological needs in the association between individualism and internet addiction. Design/methodology/approach A mixed-method design was used by comprising of 602 college students’ (70.3 percent women) responses obtained through the Individualism-Collectivism Survey, New Needs Assessment Questionnaire, and Internet Addiction Scale. Structural equation modeling techniques …
The development and psychometric properties of the Turkish death anxiety scale (TDAS)
The purpose of the present study was to develop the Turkish Death Anxiety Scale (TDAS) and test its initial psychometric properties. Four independent samples participated in the study: 943 college students in item generation, 388 college students in validation, 171 college students in reliability investigation, and 338 adults in cross-validation. Principal component analysis with a varimax rotation revealed that 20 items of the scale contained th…
The Predictors of Success in Computer Courses among High School Students
High school students report high computer anxiety. The addition of three computer anxiety dimensions (i.e., Affective Anxiety, Damaging Anxiety, and Learning Anxiety) improved the prediction of computer course grades beyond that afforded by the differences in academic achievement. 700 Turkish high school students (386 boys, 314 girls) enrolled in high school computer courses participated. The Computer Anxiety Scale and a personal data sheet were …
A Description and Comparison of the Levels of Anxiety Among College Administrators
Administrators, in general, are at greater risk of facing anxiety than are other people, due to their duties and responsibilities. In this study, both state and trait anxiety levels of college administrators were assessed and the administrators were compared based on their anxiety levels. For the purpose of assessing state and trait anxiety levels, the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) (Spielberger, Gorsuch, & Lushene, 1970) adapted to Turkish…
Evidence for Differentiating Between Anxiety and Depression in Turkish College Students
The relationship between the constructs of depression and anxiety were examined with 443 Turkish college students. Significant correlations were found. Factor analyses computed with state and trait anxiety, as defined as the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI; Spielberger, Gorsuch, & Lushene, 1970) and depression, as defined as the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II; Beck & Steer, 1993) supported the notion that anxiety and depression may be t…
Psychometric Properties of Watson-Glaser Critical Thinking Appraisal for a Sample of Education Majors

Concurrent Validity and Test-Retest Reliability of the Information Processing Styles
To investigate concurrent validity and test-retest reliability of the Information Processing Styles, 62 students majoring in social sciences evaluated the accuracy of the checklist in describing their dominant types. Each student had a friend who read the descriptions of the dominant type(s) of the student and rated their perceived accuracy of that categorization. Analyses indicated the inventory is reliable and valid
