Reliability and validity of the Suicide Cognitions Scale-Revised (SCS-R) in emerging adulthood in Turkey.

Suicidal thoughts and behaviors (STBs) are a significant public health problem. This study aims to examine the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Suicide Cognitions Scale-Revised (SCS-R). Participants (N = 442, age range: 18-29 years) completed the SCS-R, the Beck Depression Inventory, the Inventory of Statements About Self-injury, the Suicide Probability Scale, and the Suicide Rumination Scale. Principal component analysis showed that the SCS-R consisted of a single factor and that the SCS-R could differentiate between participants at high risk and low risk of suicide. High-to-moderate positive associations were found between the measures of depression, suicide probability, suicide rumination, and non-suicidal self-injury and suicide cognition. The Turkish version of the SCS-R has good psychometric properties. This scale can be used to screen for cognitive patterns that are most prone to suicide and to manage such cognitive characteristics, which are important steps for preventive interventions.

How Perceptions of Parents' Parenting Behaviors Pave the Way to Somatic Symptoms: The Mediating Role of Emotion Regulation Among Adults.

The purpose of this study was to investigate adult participants' reflections on their parents' parenting behaviors during childhood (parental overprotection and parental rejection), and their current emotion-regulation strategies and somatic symptoms. The study consisted of 627 participants and Somatization subscale of the Symptom Checklist-90-Revised, Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale and Short EMBU Children Form were given to the participants. Four different multiple mediation analyses were conducted to test mediator roles of emotion regulation difficulties between perceptions of the parenting behaviors (parental overprotection and rejection) and somatic symptoms among adults. Participants' lack of goals and lack of strategies while dealing with negative emotions mediated the relationship between mother/father rejection and somatic symptoms. However, only participants' lack of strategies while dealing with negative emotions mediated the relationship between mother/father overprotection and somatic symptoms. As a clinical implication, problem-focused coping strategies may assist adults with somatic symptoms. Also, mental health practitioners may focus on perceptions of overprotective and rejecting parental behaviors while formulizing somatic symptoms of the adult patients. Findings, strengths and limitations of this study were discussed in the light of the literature.

Does interpersonal sensitivity and paranoid ideation predict nomophobia: an analysis with a young adult sample.

Nomophobia has been studied extensively due to its negative effects on human health and psychology. In terms of clinical psychology, nomophobia has been linked consistently to depression and anxiety. Studies also investigated whether it is a dependency, an impulse control problem, an obsession or a phobia; however, no clear clinical representation was confirmed. Although it was proposed to be added as an official diagnosis to DSM-5, these attempts were inconclusive. In this study, nomophobia was examined clinically by SCL-90 factors. A hierarchical regression analysis was performed by controlling anxiety, depression, phobia and obsessions by putting them in the first step. At the next step, paranoid ideation was entered while interpersonal sensitivity was introduced at the last step. The variables were assigned according to the steps according to their connections confirmed by the literature, the correlation coefficients and ß weights obtained in the current study. The hierarchical regression analysis confirmed that after controlling anxiety, depression, phobia and obsessions, nomophobia is explained by interpersonal sensitivity. Paranoid ideation is also an important variable in step 2, but it lost its significance in the last step. Nevertheless, it was thought that what makes people sensitive to interpersonal issues is a kind of fear of missing out others' experiences (FoMO) which is related to nomophobia. This fear of missing out might prepare people to constantly check on mobile phones thinking paranoid about what they might have been missing or deprived of. Clinical implications and limitations were discussed.
