Recent empirical evidence has indicated a positive relationship between university students' evening-type chronotype and their cyberbullying perpetration (CBP) scores while controlling for gender and Big Five personality dimensions. The aims of the present study were (i) to replicate the results of the aforementioned study with an adolescent sample and (ii) to examine the mediating role of depression anxiety and aggression on the relationship between chronotype and CBP. In order to investigate these aims 493 high-school students were recruited to complete a survey that included the Reduced Morningness-Eveningness Scale Short Depression Scale State-Trait Anxiety Inventory Short Form Aggression Questionnaire and Cyberbullying Offending Scale. Results indicated that while females had higher depression and anxiety scores males scored higher on CBP. Path analysis showed that aggression depression-related aggression and anxiety-related aggression fully mediated the relationship between evening-type chronotype and CBP. There were also significant gender differences in the model. Furthermore physiological factors had an indirect effect on CBP via psychological risk factors and emotion-related negative behaviors.

(Korean Neuropsychiatric Association, 2021) Kağan Kircaburun; Sabah Balta; Emrah Emirtekin; Şule Betül Tosuntaş; Zsolt Demetrovics; Mark D. Griffiths; Kircaburun, Kagan; Emirtekin, Emrah; Balta, Sabah; Tosuntaş, Şule Betül; Demetrovics, Zsolt; Griffiths, Mark D.
Objective Accumulating empirical research has emphasized that a wide range of online activities–such as using social networking sites–can be performed in order to compensate unattained needs or to cope with negative affect and psychopathological symptoms. Al-though the correlates of problematic social networking use have been extensively investigated less is known about problematic YouTube use (PYU) an umbrella term grouping a number of different activities (e.g. viewing of online video games watching specific YouTube channels). Furthermore nothing is known concerning increasingly popular and distinct YouTube-related activities such as mukbang watching (i.e. watching livestream “eating broadcasts” where someone eats various foods in front of the camera while interacting with viewers). The aim of the present study was to examine the mediating role of problematic mukbang watching (PMW) on the relationships between depression and loneliness with PYU. Methods An online survey that comprised assessment tools for aforementioned variables was administered to 217 mukbang viewers (mean age=20.58 years range 18–33 years). Results Results indicated that PMW was positively related to loneliness and PYU. Depression was positively and directly associated with PYU but was not associated with PMW. Conclusion Further research is required to better understand the psychological processes underlying problematic mukbang watching and its association with other mental health conditions (e.g. addictive disorders eating disorders). © 2021 Elsevier B.V.

(Elsevier Ltd, 2019) Sabah Balta; Peter Karl Jonason; Amanda Denes; Emrah Emirtekin; Şule Betül Tosuntaş; Kağan Kircaburun; Mark D. Griffiths; Emirtekin, Emrah; Denes, Amanda; Kircaburun, Kagan; Jonason, Peter; Balta, Sabah; Tosuntaş, Şule Betül; Griffiths, Mark D.
Recently empirical research has shown dark personality traits (i.e. Machiavellianism psychopathy narcissism sadism spitefulness) to be associated with problematic and addictive online behaviors. However their direct relationships with problematic smartphone use (PSU) have yet to be examined. The present study investigated the direct and indirect associations of dark personality traits with PSU via fearful and dismissing attachment styles among 546 participants. Results indicated that men had higher scores on measures assessing dark personality traits and women had higher PSU. Narcissism and spitefulness were directly associated with PSU in the total sample men and women. Machiavellianism was indirectly associated with PSU via fearful attachment among men and sadism was directly and indirectly associated with PSU via fearful attachment among women. Findings suggest that dark personality traits may play a contributory role in higher PSU (with different traits having different effects among men and women) and that attachment styles partially explain the relationship between dark traits and PSU. © 2019 Elsevier B.V.

Eğitim ve Öğretim Teknolojileri Konusunda Yapılan Tezlerin İncelenmesi (2013-2018)
(2019) İrfan SÜRAL; Şule Betül TOSUNTAŞ; Emrah Emirtekin; Süral, İrfan; Emirtekin, Emrah; Tosuntaş, Şule Betül
Teknolojinin hayatımızın vazgeçilmez bir parçası olmasıyla birlikte eğitim ve öğretim teknolojileri konularında araştırmaların hızla yoğunlaştığı bilinmektedir. Yapılan çalışmalarda eğitim ve öğretim teknolojileri birçok yönden ele alınmış olup bu çalışmalar sonuçların uygulamaya konulabilmesi açısından önem arz etmektedir. Alanda yayınlanan makale ve tezlerin incelenmesiyle çalışmaların kapsamı güçlü ve zayıf yanları belirlenmekte, gelecekte ne tür çalışmalara ihtiyaç duyulabileceği konusunda önemli bir boşluk doldurulmaktadır. Literatürde bu amaçla yapılan birçok çalışmaya rastlanmaktadır. Ancak eğitim teknolojilerini ele alan benzer çalışmaların güncelliğini yitirmiş olması nedeniyle bu çalışma güncel araştırma eğilimleri ve sonuçlarının bir araya getirilmesi açısından önemli görülmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı eğitim teknolojileri ve öğretim teknolojileri konularında yapılan lisansüstü tezleri tematik ve metodolojik açıdan incelenmesidir. Çalışma nitel araştırma modellerinden durum çalışması benimsenerek desenlenmiştir. Çalışma kapsamına alınacak lisansüstü tezler için örneklem belirlenmemiş olup evrenin tamamına ulaşılması amaçlanmıştır. Bu bağlamda Yükseköğretim Tez Veri Tabanı aracılığıyla son beş yıl içerisinde yayınlanmış tezlere ulaşılmıştır. Tezlerin taranmasında “eğitim teknolojileri” ve “öğretim teknolojileri” anahtar kelimeleri kullanılmıştır. Tarama sonucunda 190 teze ulaşılmış olup çalışma kriterlerine uygun olan 148 tez çalışma kapsamına alınmıştır. Verilerin toplanmasında araştırmacılar tarafından oluşturulan tez inceleme formu kullanılmış ve toplanan veriler içerik analizi kullanılarak çözümlenmiştir. Elde edilen bulgular araştırma problemlerine paralel olarak alt başlıklarda ele alınmıştır. Çalışmada genel anlamda lisansüstü tez sayısında düşüş olduğu araştırma yöntemleri ve istatistik açısından kavramsal kargaşa yaşandığı yetersiz bilgiler nedeniyle hatalı yöntem ve istatistiklerin kullanıldığı sonuçlarına ulaşılmıştır.

Sofalizing and its relationship with social media addiction and psychosocial factors: A new phenomenon among emerging adults
(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2024) Şule Betül Tosuntaş; Engin Karadaǧ; Emrah Emirtekin; Kağan Kircaburun; Mark D. Griffiths; Kircaburun, Kagan; Emirtekin, Emrah; Karadağ, Engin; Tosuntaş, Şule Betül; Griffiths, Mark D.
Sofalizing is a term that emerged from the combination of the words ‘sofa’ and ‘socializing’ and can be defined as interacting with others online from home rather than going out and actually meeting individuals. In the present study the relationships between psychosocial factors (including social anxiety and social connectedness) and sofalizing were examined. Additionally the possible mediating role of social media addiction between social anxiety and connectedness with sofalizing was also investigated. The participants comprised 666 university students (69% female Mage = 20.35 years SD = 2.28 age range = 17 to 40 years) recruited via convenience sampling. The data were analyzed using exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses correlation analysis t-tests and structural equation modeling. Results showed that social anxiety but not social connectedness was indirectly significantly associated with sofalizing via social media addiction. Social media addiction also had a moderate effect on sofalizing. The present study is the first to empirically explore the concept of ‘sofalizing’ and its potential contributing factors and suggests that sofalizing warrants further examination of its impact on mental health and wellbeing. © 2024 Elsevier B.V.
