    What Works Against Peer Bullying? A Meta-Analysis of School-Based Interventions in Türkiye

    Haspolat, Namık Kemal; Ağırkan, Murat; Ciminli, Alaattin; Koç, Muharrem

    Peer bullying remains a persistent global concern with far-reaching implications for students’ psychological, social, and academic development. While numerous interventions have been developed to address this issue, their effectiveness within culturally specific contexts warrants further investigation. This meta-analysis synthesizes 35 empirical studies conducted in Türkiye, encompassing 1,534 participants aged 4 to 17. Using a random-effects model, the findings indicate that intervention programs are associated with reductions in bullying (ES = 0.78) and victimization (ES = 0.74) and improvements in social skills (ES = 0.62) and well-being (ES = 0.83), although effects varied across studies and should be interpreted in light of between-study heterogeneity. Exploratory moderator analyses suggested that effects were associated with educational level and participant type for bullying, and with theoretical background for victimization; however, these subgroup patterns should be interpreted cautiously given the limited number of studies in some categories and the fact that moderators were examined in separate models. In exploratory univariable meta-regression analyses, session duration was associated with bullying effect sizes, whereas the number of sessions was not. These results underscore the importance of developing comprehensive, theoretically informed, and culturally responsive anti-bullying strategies, while also suggesting potential mechanisms and boundary conditions that may inform the adaptation of such interventions beyond the Turkish context.

    A Model for Explaining Digital Addiction in Adolescents: The Role of Self-Perception, Social-Emotional Learning, Adolescent-Parent Relationship and Peer Relationships

    Ağırkan, Murat; Erez, Semih

    Objective: This study was aimed at examining the levels of digital addiction in adolescents with a regression model created with self-perception, adolescent-parent relationships, peer relationships, and social-emotional learning (SEL) skills. Method: The participants consisted of 504 high school students. The data were obtained through the Personal Information Form, the Digital Addiction Scale, the Adolescent-Parent Relationships Scale, the Friendship Quality Scale, the Self-Perception Scale, and the Social and Emotional Learning Scale. Results: Self-perception, adolescent-parent relationship, and SEL skills were significant predictors of adolescents' digital addiction levels, while the peer relationships was not. Additionally, the regression model explains approximately 27% of the total variance of digital addiction in adolescents. Conclusion: The ability of digital platforms to compensate for negative self-perception during adolescence, coupled with inadequate SEL skills, may hinder adolescents from forming satisfying real relationships with themselves and their environment, ultimately increasing their levels of digital addiction. In families without satisfying relationships with parents where there is no positive, warm, supportive, and safe climate, this may cause digital addiction in adolescents.

    Psychological symptoms among adolescents: Latent class analysis of parental attitudes, psychological needs, self-regulation, and alexithymia

    Haspolat, Namık Kemal; Ağırkan, Murat; Eşkisu, Mustafa

    Psychological problems are prevalent among adolescents, and previous studies have robustly demonstrated that individual and family factors play a role in the formation and maintenance of these problems. On the other hand, not all adolescents show the same characteristics in terms of these factors and can be categorized into different groups. Identifying this heterogeneity is also important in intervention for psychological problems. Thus, this study aimed to identify patterns of parental attitudes, basic psychological needs, self-regulation, and alexithymia, using latent class analysis (LCA), and investigated how different patterns of these individual and family factors are associated with psychological problems. Participants included a sample of 331 volunteer Turkish adolescents (140 male [42.3%], 191 female [57.7%]). LCA indicated a two-class solution fit the current data well and 65% of the participants were classified into the first latent class which was labeled as “positive individual and family context” (PIFC). The PIFC were found to have higher levels of parental sensitivity and autonomy support, need satisfaction and self-regulation, but lower levels of mother's psychological and behavioral control and father's behavioral control, need frustration, and alexithymia. The second latent class, labeled as “negative individual and family context” (NIFC), included 35% of the adolescents. Adolescents in NIFC had low levels of parental sensitivity, autonomy support, satisfaction of basic psychological needs, and self-regulation, but high levels of mother's psychological and behavioral control, father's behavioral control, frustration of basic psychological needs, and alexithymia. Moreover, after controlling gender and age, adolescents classified in the NIFC displayed significantly higher levels of psychological problems than those classified in the PIFC. These findings support the idea that individual and familial factors interact to affect adolescents' mental health and suggest that clinicians and helping professionals would benefit from including these factors in intervention processes.

    The efficacy of interventions designed for parents of children with developmental disabilities in Türkiye: A systematic review and meta-analysis

    Erbiçer, Eyüp Sabır; Koç, Muharrem; Haskan Avcı, Özlem; Ağırkan, Murat; Şen, Sedat; Akın, Ercan; Metin, Ahmet; Erbiçer, Sinem

    Previous studies have revealed that parents of children with developmental disabilities (DD) experience various mental health problems. The number of intervention studies has increased for parents of children with DD to reduce symptoms of mental health conditions and increase positive functioning in recent years in Türkiye. The main purpose of this systematic and meta-analytical review is to address the efficacy of interventions for parents of children with DD on symptoms of mental health conditions and positive functioning in Türkiye. The second purpose of this study is to examine the effect of the potential moderators on the efficacy of the interventions in symptoms of mental health conditions and positive functioning. For these purposes, studies published between 2000 and October 2022 were searched in various databases. As a result of the literature search, 61 studies met the inclusion criteria, and 23 studies with 17 independent effect sizes for symptoms of mental health conditions and 12 independent effect sizes for positive functioning were included in the current study. Cohen's d effect size index was used to calculate the efficacy of intervention studies included in the meta-analysis on symptoms of mental health conditions and positive functioning. Results revealed that the overall mean effect size for the 17 mental health studies was −1.15 and for the 12 positive functioning studies was 2.03 in favor of experimental group. Moderator analyses showed that the study design (experimental vs. quasi-experimental) was a statistically significant moderator of positive functioning. The average effect size for experimental studies was higher than that of quasi-experimental studies. However, other moderators (the gender of the participants, publication type, the type of intervention, the disability type of children, the sample size, and the number of sessions) were not statistically significant for symptoms of mental health conditions and positive functioning. Although the current study has some limitations, the findings revealed that the interventions designed for parents of children with DD result in an increase in positive functioning and a reduction in symptoms of mental health conditions in favor of experimental group.

    How effective are group-based psychoeducation programs for parents of children with ASD in Turkey? A systematic review and meta-analysis

    Ağırkan, Murat; Koç, Muharrem; Avcı, Özlem Haskan

    Recent research shows that group-based psychoeducation programs designed for parents of children with ASD have grown in popularity over time. The international evidence for the effectiveness of psychoeducation programs designed for parents of children with ASD in developed societies emphasizes the importance of providing a synthesis of the effectiveness of programs in developing societies. This study's primary aim is to assess the efficacy of group-based psychoeducation programs in Turkey for parents of children with ASD. The second aim is to investigate how the programs are influenced by the potential moderators (type of involvement, research design, number of sessions, duration of sessions, and number of participants). For these purposes, a database search was conducted that included group-based psychoeducation programs for parents of children with ASD implemented in Turkey. Twelve group-based psychoeducation programs that met the inclusion criteria were included in the study. The results showed that group-based psychoeducation programs for parents of children with ASD had “medium” effects on psychological symptoms [ES(SE) = 0.65 (.08), 95%CI (0.48–0.81)], “low” effects on social skills [ES(SE) = 0.32 (.16), 95%CI (0.02–0.62)], and “high” effects on well-being [ES(SE) = 1.05 (.19), 95%CI (0.66–1.43)]. According to moderator analyses, the type of involvement and the number of sessions were statistically significant moderators of psychological symptoms, but not the research design, duration of sessions, or number of participants.

    What does the social and emotional learning interventions (SEL) tell us? A meta-analysis; [¿Qué significan las intervenciones de aprendizaje social y emocional (SEL)? Un meta-análisis]

    Ağırkan, Murat; Ergene, Tuncay

    This meta-analysis study aimed to examine the effects of 51 social and emotional learning (SEL) interventions conducted in Turkey between 1997 and 2021. The results were discussed under three categories: social-emotional skills, externalizing problems, and internalizing problems. The effects of the interventions were investigated in terms of eight moderator variables: intervention format, types of measurement, experimental design, educational level, average age, percentage of females, number of sessions, and duration of sessions. The findings showed that SEL interventions in Turkey improved students’ social-emotional skills [ES(SE) = 0.81(.10), 95% CI (0.60 - 1.03)] and significantly reduced their externalizing [ES(SE) = 0.78(.18), 95% CI (0.41 - 1.14)] and internalizing problems [ES(SE) = 0.95(.19), 95% CI (0.57 - 1.32)].

    Do the Highly Sensitive People Tend to have Psychological Problems Because of Low Emotion Regulation and Dysfunctional Attitudes?

    Eşkisu, Mustafa; Ağırkan, Murat; Çelik, Oğuzhan; Yalçın, Ragıp Ümit; Haspolat, Namık Kemal

    Researches reveal that approximately one-third of the general population has high sensory processing sensitivity and the highly sensitive individuals are more prone to have psychological problems. This study aimed to examine the relationships among sensory sensitivity, emotion regulation skills, dysfunctional attitudes, depression, anxiety, and stress. The study group consisted of 355 undergraduate students (239 females [67.3%], 116 males [32.7%]) aged between 17 and 32 (Mean = 20.8, SD = 1.90). Using the mixture structural equation modeling, at the first step, the direct and indirect relationships between the variables were analyzed through structural equation modeling. In the second step, using latent class analysis it was aimed to determine individual differences based on the relationships between the variables determined by the structural equation model. There was a positive relationship between depression, anxiety, stress and sensory sensitivity. Besides, emotion regulation skills and dysfunctional attitudes had a mediating effect in this relationship. Latent class analysis extracted two latent classes. The first group (30.1%) has higher levels of depression, anxiety, stress sensory sensitivity and negative attitudes, and they used suppression more but cognitive reappraisal less. The second group (69.1%) has lower levels of depression, anxiety, stress, sensory sensitivity and negative attitudes, and they used cognitive reappraisal more but suppression less. Individuals with psychological problems such as depression, anxiety, and stress might show different characteristics in terms of sensory processing sensitivity and that it might be useful to consider this differentiation in mental health interventions.
