Article Citation - WoS: 24Citation - Scopus: 35The use of internet resources by university students during their course projects elicitation: A case study(Turkish Online Journal Educational Tech-Tojet, 2010) Yasar Guneri Sahin; Sabah Balta; Tuncay Ercan; Ercan, Tuncay; Balta, Sabah; Sahin, Yasar GuneriAlthough technology is a very important useful and indispensable part of the life effective and appropriate usage of it still needs to be improved in education. This study presents the way university students gather their course project requirements during the project elicitation phase how they access the Internet and other resources and their trends in the literature review using the Internet. Furthermore the diversity of Internet resources which are used for homework and course projects studies and the reliability and accessibility of these resources have also been investigated and assessed. In addition the results obtained from the study have been discussed and evaluated the academic resources accessibility and usability in universities have been assessed and their importance discussed. The internet resources have been divided into sub categories according to their accessibility and reliability. Finally the effects of reliable and limited accessible internet resources and unreliable and unlimited internet resources on university students' out-of-class works and projects have been presented and discussed. © The Turkish Online Journal of Educational Technology. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.

Griffiths; Kircaburun, Kagan; Emirtekin, Emrah; Balta, Sabah; Tosuntaş, Şule Betül; Griffiths, Mark D.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.Article Citation - WoS: 10Citation - Scopus: 11The Mediating Role of Depression in the Relationship Between Body Image Dissatisfaction and Cyberbullying Perpetration(Springer, 2020) Sabah Balta; Emrah Emirtekin; Kağan Kircaburun; Mark D. Griffiths; Kircaburun, Kagan; Emirtekin, Emrah; Balta, Sabah; Griffiths, Mark D.Preliminary evidence suggests that psychopathological factors (e.g. depression) are associated with higher engagement in cyberbullying perpetration and those with elevated body image dissatisfaction (BID) are more susceptible to depression. However the possible impact of body image dissatisfaction (BID) on cyberbullying remains untested. The present study examined the direct and indirect relationships of BID with cyberbullying via depression among a sample of 507 university students (mean age 21.37 years, range 18–44 years). t tests showed that males had a higher prevalence of cyberbullying than females. Structural equation modeling indicated that BID was directly and indirectly associated with cyberbullying via depression among the total sample and males. However BID was only indirectly related to cyberbullying via depression among females. Depression fully explained the relationship between BID and cyberbullying among females although there were additional mediating factors between BID and cyberbullying among males. The findings are in accordance with theoretical models suggesting that individuals’ personal characteristics including psychopathological factors are associated with cyberbullying. Furthermore males attempt to cope with their body image–related psychopathology with more externalizing behaviors than females. © 2020 Elsevier B.V.

Griffiths; Kircaburun, Kagan; Emirtekin, Emrah; Balta, Sabah; Griffiths, Mark D.One of the relatively new negative consequences of smartphone use is “phubbing” (snubbing someone while an individual checks their smartphone in the middle of a real-life conversation). The purpose of the present study was to investigate the direct and indirect associations of neuroticism trait anxiety and trait fear of missing out with phubbing via state fear of missing out and problematic Instagram use. A total of 423 adolescents and emerging adults aged between 14 and 21 years (53% female) participated in the study. Findings indicated that females had significantly higher scores of phubbing fear of missing out problematic Instagram use trait anxiety and neuroticism. Path analysis showed that trait fear of missing out and neuroticism were indirectly associated with phubbing via state fear of missing out and problematic Instagram use. State fear of missing out was directly and indirectly associated with phubbing via problematic Instagram use. The present study is the first to demonstrate empirical evidence for the relationship between different dimensions of fear of missing out problematic Instagram use and phubbing. © 2020 Elsevier B.V.

Griffiths; Kircaburun, Kagan; Emirtekin, Emrah; Balta, Sabah; Griffiths, Mark D.Preliminary studies have indicated that childhood emotional maltreatment (i.e. abuse and neglect) can be associated with higher cyberbullying perpetration (CBP) among university students. The purpose of the present study was to test the direct and indirect effects of childhood emotional abuse (CEA) on CBP via trait mindfulness and trait emotional intelligence (TEI). A total of 470 adolescent students participated in the study and completed a questionnaire comprising measures of the aforementioned variables. Path analysis showed that trait mindfulness but not TEI was a partial mediator between CEA and CBP among the total sample males and females. Results indicated that there were other factors that explain the relationship between CEA and CBP in addition to lower mindfulness. These findings suggest that developing mindfulness-based intervention programs for adolescents who have been emotionally abused as a child may reduce their engagement in cyberbullying. This study is the first to document the direct role of CEA on CBP and indirect via trait mindfulness among adolescents.Conference Object Analysis of e-Learning outcomes at higher education: A case study(Academic Conferences Limited info@academic-conferences.org, 2014) Ibrahim Zincir; Tohid Ahmed Rana; Samsun Mustafa Basarici; Sabah Balta; Basarici, Samsun; Zincir, Ibrahim; Balta, Sabah; Rana, Tohid Ahmed; K.T. Levinsen , R. OrngreenAs explained in our paper "A Novel Approach To E-Learning: Yasar University E-Learning System (YES)" (Zincir et al. 2013) since 2009 every student who attends Yasar University (Izmir Turkey) regardless of their department has to take part in seven courses defined as University Foundation Courses (UFND). These courses are part of the university's effort to graduate students who are not only hard-working and respectable but also who are responsible and beneficent to society and the environment that they are living in. Since approximately 4000 students attend these courses every term in academic year 2012-2013 an E-learning system called Yasar University E-Learning System (YES) was introduced to take these courses online. It was a novel approach that encourages the students to get involved in the courses much more actively since it grades them according to their learning behaviors. Basically YES monitors all the activities of the students all the time once they are connected to the system. These activities include how and when they access the information supplied materials forums and chat rooms. This paper discusses the outcomes & the outputs of YES by presenting a brief insight into the behavior of the students inside an e-learning environment and by analyzing the correlation between the success of the students and the way they interact with YES. © 2017 Elsevier B.V.

Araştırma yarı deneysel bir araştırma olarak planlandı. Araştırmanın örneklemini İzmir iline bağlı beş büyük otel de görev yapan çalışmaya katılmayı kabul eden 127 otel çalışanı oluşturdu. Araştırma için gerekli verileri toplamak amacı ile Tanıtıcı Bilgi Formu Sürekli Öfke Öfke Tarzı Ölçeği (SÖÖTÖ) kullanıldı. Öfke kontrolü eğitim programı öncesinde katılımcılara araçlar uygulandı 18 saatlik eğitim verildi eğitim sonrası ölçek (SÖÖTÖ) yeniden uygulandı. Verilerin analizinde t testi ve tekrarlı ölçümlerde ANOVA analizleri kullanıldı. Otel çalışanlarının öfke kontrolü eğitimi sonrası öfkelerini daha iyi ifade ettikleri daha az içe attıkları daha iyi öfkelerini kontrol ettikleri ve bunların sonucu olarak öfke duygularının azaldığı belirlendi (p=0.000). İşyerlerinde duygu kontrollerinden olan öfke kontrolü eğitimlerinin yapılması hem iş motivasyonu ve hizmet kalitesini arttıracak hem de çalışanların beden ve ruh sağlıklarını koruyacağından önerilmektedir.Article Citation - WoS: 32Citation - Scopus: 39Dark personality traits and problematic smartphone use: The mediating role of fearful attachment(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.

The potential effects of employing PWD on safety cost efficiency service quality and management were investigated. Potentials and limitations of people with different types and degrees of disabilities with regard to jobs in the hospitality industry were also questioned. A notable guiding principle emanating from this study is that hiring of employees should be based on merit suitability and capability of the candidate regardless of the presence or degree of disability. Another important outcome is that the job or task appointed to PWD should not deteriorate the disability. A common guideline expressed by the participants was that jobs which critically require a certain sense or ability are not suitable for PWD who do not possess this sense or ability even with the aid of technology or by other means. However apart from such extreme and obvious cases experts mostly agree that PWD can fulfill any task in the hospitality industry as long as their professional knowledge and skills fit those tasks. © 2011 Taylor & Francis. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.
