Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 4Intergenerational transmission of childhood maltreatment and offspring behavioral adjustment problems and competence(Elsevier Ltd, 2024-07) Kiziltepe, Rukiye; Irmak, Tuerkan YilmazBackground: Previous studies have consistently highlighted that exposure to childhood maltreatment adversely affects the developmental domains of subsequent generations. Little, however, is known about the relationship between maternal childhood maltreatment history and adolescent development, as well as the mediator role of offspring childhood maltreatment. Objective: The current study attempts to investigate the mediating role of offspring childhood maltreatment in the relationship between maternal childhood maltreatment history and offspring behavioral adjustment problems and competence. Methods: Participants were 1102 adolescents aged 10–15 years (Mage = 12.14, SD = 1.22) and their mothers (Mage = 39.40, SD = 5.31). Participating adolescents filled out self-report instruments assessing their childhood maltreatment by their mothers, self-esteem, academic performance, loneliness, and prosocial and aggressive behaviors between October 2018 and May 2019. In addition, we collected data from mothers on their childhood maltreatment history. Results: We analyzed the data through a structural equation model. The findings revealed insignificant direct effects of maternal childhood maltreatment history on offspring behavioral adjustment problems and competence. Yet, indirect effects demonstrated that offspring maltreatment by mothers mediated the relationship between maternal childhood maltreatment history and offspring behavioral adjustment problems and competence. Maternal childhood maltreatment history was significantly associated with offspring maltreatment (β = 0.30; p <.001), which in turn was linked to a higher level of behavioral adjustment problems (β = 0.40; p <.001) and a lower level of competence (β = −0.71; p <.001). Conclusion: The research findings extend our understanding of the relationship between maternal childhood maltreatment history and offspring behavioral adjustment problems and competence, identifying the mediating role of offspring maltreatment. © 2024 Elsevier LtdArticle Citation - WoS: 20Citation - Scopus: 19Online parenting support: Meta-analyses of non-inferiority and additional value to in-person support(Elsevier Ltd, 2024-04) Leijten, Patty; Rienks, Karen; Groenman, Annabeth P.; Anand, Madhur; Akik, Burcu Komurcu; David, Oana; Kiziltepe, RukiyeParenting support to enhance parent and child mental health is increasingly offered on websites, apps, and through videocall. This development raises the question of how online parenting support compares to traditional in-person parenting support. Is online support non-inferior to traditional in-person support? Or should online support be used as a supplement to in-person support? In the COST Action EurofamNet (CA18123), we sought to answer these questions by systematically searching for randomized trials comparing online to in-person parenting support (Study 1) and trials comparing in-person parenting support augmented with online support elements to in-person parenting support only (Study 2). We registered our review in PROSPERO (CRD42022354393) and searched PsycINFO, MEDLINE, Web of Science, and Cochrane in May 2022. Our outcomes of interests were children's mental health, parenting practices, parental mental health, and parents’ satisfaction with the program. For Study 1, multilevel meta-analysis of seven eligible randomized trials (101 effect sizes; N = 957) showed consistent non-inferiority of online support and a trend that parents were more satisfied with online support. For Study 2, narrative synthesis of two eligible trials (N = 279) suggests that adding online support elements to in-person support can improve program satisfaction and short-term benefits, but does not contribute significantly to program benefits above and beyond in-person support. Our findings suggest that, provided appropriate online formats and sufficient guidance from professionals, online parenting support is non-inferior to in-person support. The additive value of online support elements to in-person support seems limited, but may still be meaningful. Future research should identify the circumstances under which parents prefer, and benefit more from, in-person versus online parenting support. © 2024 The Author(s)Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 5Exploring Attitudes Toward Sugar Relationships Across 87 Countries: A Global Perspective on Exchanges of Resources for Sex and Companionship(Springer/Plenum Publishers, 2023-12-21) Mesko, Norbert; Kowal, Marta; Lang, Andras; Kocsor, Ferenc; Bandi, Szabolcs A.; Putz, Adam; Sorokowski, PiotrThe current study investigates attitudes toward one form of sex for resources: the so-called sugar relationships, which often involve exchanges of resources for sex and/or companionship. The present study examined associations among attitudes toward sugar relationships and relevant variables (e.g., sex, sociosexuality, gender inequality, parasitic exposure) in 69,924 participants across 87 countries. Two self-report measures of Acceptance of Sugar Relationships (ASR) developed for younger companion providers (ASR-YWMS) and older resource providers (ASR-OMWS) were translated into 37 languages. We tested cross-sex and cross-linguistic construct equivalence, cross-cultural invariance in sex differences, and the importance of the hypothetical predictors of ASR. Both measures showed adequate psychometric properties in all languages (except the Persian version of ASR-YWMS). Results partially supported our hypotheses and were consistent with previous theoretical considerations and empirical evidence on human mating. For example, at the individual level, sociosexual orientation, traditional gender roles, and pathogen prevalence were significant predictors of both ASR-YWMS and ASR-OMWS. At the country level, gender inequality and parasite stress positively predicted the ASR-YWMS. However, being a woman negatively predicted the ASR-OMWS, but positively predicted the ASR-YWMS. At country-level, ingroup favoritism and parasite stress positively predicted the ASR-OMWS. Furthermore, significant cross-subregional differences were found in the openness to sugar relationships (both ASR-YWMS and ASR-OMWS scores) across subregions. Finally, significant differences were found between ASR-YWMS and ASR-OMWS when compared in each subregion. The ASR-YWMS was significantly higher than the ASR-OMWS in all subregions, except for Northern Africa and Western Asia.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Problem-Focused Coping and Teacher Emotional Violence: A Serial Mediation Analysis(Sage Publications Inc, 2023-09-13) Kiziltepe, Rukiye; Irmak, Turkan Yilmaz; Hecker, TobiasAlthough school violence is a serious problem, teacher emotional violence that has short- and long-term detrimental effects on children's development is often overlooked. Considering the potential negative effects, it is important to determine teacher characteristics associated with teacher emotional violence, especially in societies where the prevalence rate of emotional violence is high. The current study investigated the role of teacher stress and burnout and favorable attitudes toward emotional violence in the association between problem-focused coping and teacher emotional violence. Between February and June 2019, a cross-sectional study was conducted in 16 randomly selected secondary schools in Izmir, Turkey. In total, 205 secondary school teachers (64.4% females, Mage = 37.20 years) participated in this study. Participants completed questionnaires that assessed their use of emotional violence, favorable attitudes toward emotional violence, stress and burnout, and problem-focused coping. A serial mediation model was conducted. The model indicated that problem-focused coping was not directly associated with teacher emotional violence. Examination of indirect pathways suggested that favorable attitudes toward emotional violence did not mediate this relationship; however, stress and burnout mediated the link between problem-focused coping and emotional violence. In addition, there was a significant indirect effect from problem-focused coping to emotional violence through stress and burnout and favorable attitudes toward emotional violence. The findings indicate a potential role of teacher characteristics in preventing teacher emotional violence.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 6Ancient restoration practices in the Monumental Nymphaeum at Tripolis ad Maeandrum (Turkey): multi-analytical approach on Roman and Byzantine bonding mortars(Elsevier Masson s.r.l., 2023-09) Andreotti, Alessia; Bonaduce, Ilaria; Cantisani, Emma; Degano, Ilaria; Duman, Bahadir; Ismaelli, Tommaso; Salvadori, BarbaraThe study of ancient architectural restoration has recently gained attention in the field of archaeometry thanks to a new sensitivity for the long biographies of human artifacts. The paper focuses on ancient repairs documented in the column shafts of the Monumental Nymphaeum of Tripolis ad Maeandrum (Denizli, Turkey). Bonding mortars used to hold the ancient patches in place were sampled and analysed according to a multi-analytical protocol, coupling mineralogical and petrographic investigation (XRPD and OM) together with FT-IR and chromatographic and mass spectrometric techniques (i.e. Py–GC–MS, GC–MS, HPLC-MS) for the characterisation of the inorganic and organic components. For the inorganic part, medium and fine-grained crystals of calcite are used as aggregates. As for the organic fractions, three different ingredients have been detected: egg, beeswax and Pinaceae resin. These multi-ingredient recipes detected in Tripolis are discussed with reference to ancient literary sources and the results of scientific investigations previously performed on ancient architectural repairs in the nearby city of Hierapolis of Phrygia, to highlight functional and chronological differences. © 2023 The Author(s)Article Citation - WoS: 27Citation - Scopus: 27Spatial and temporal heterogeneity in human mobility patterns in Holocene Southwest Asia and the East Mediterranean(Cell Press, 2023-01) Koptekin, Dilek; Yuncu, Eren; Rodriguez-Varela, Ricardo; Altinisxik, N. Ezgi; Psonis, Nikolaos; Kashuba, Natalia; Yorulmaz, Sevgi; Altınışık, N. EzgiWe preŞent a spatiotemporal picture of human genetic diversity in Anatolia, Iran, Levant, South Caucasus, and the Aegean, a broad region that experienced the earliest Neolithic transition and the emergence of com-plex hierarchical societies. Combining 35 new ancient shotgun genomes with 382 ancient and 23 preŞent-day published genomes, we found that genetic diversity within each region steadily increased through the Holo-cene. We further observed that the inferred sources of gene flow shifted in time. In the first half of the Holo-cene, Southwest Asian and the East Mediterranean populations homogenized among themselves. Starting with the Bronze Age, however, regional populations diverged from each other, most likely driven by gene flow from external sources, which we term the expanding mobility model.Interestingly, this increase in in-ter-regional divergence can be captured by outgroup-f3-based genetic distances, but not by the commonly used FST statistic, due to the Şensitivity of FST, but not outgroup-f3, to within-population diversity. Finally, we report a temporal trend of increasing male bias in admixture events through the Holocene.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3The unique contribution of childhood maltreatment types to risk-tAkıng behavior and self-esteem(Springer, 2023-01-28) Kiziltepe, Rukiye; Ebeoglu-Duman, Melisa; Sagel-Cetiner, Ece; Hecker, TobiasChild maltreatment is a pervasive public health problem. Evidence from numerous studies suggests that child maltreatment leads to both short-term and long-term detrimental effects. However, only few studies investigated the differential effects of specific child maltreatment types on mental health. In the current study, we aimed to detect the frequency of child maltreatment and determine specific associations of different types of child maltreatment with risk-tAkıng behavior and self-esteem among college students. A total of 421 university students from Turkey aged between 18 and 26 years (M-age = 21.16, SD = 1.79) participated in the study. Among the participants, 323 (76.7%) were females. The Childhood Trauma Questionnaire-Short Form, the Risk-tAkıng Behavior Scale, and the Self-Esteem Scale were used to assess childhood maltreatment, risk-tAkıng behavior, and self-esteem, respectively. In total, 58.7% (n = 247) of the participants reported experiencing at least one type of child maltreatment throughout their childhood. Moreover, a path analysis showed that emotional abuse (beta = -0.23, p < .001) and emotional neglect (beta = -0.28, p < .001) were negatively associated with self-esteem, whereas sexual abuse (beta = 0.16, t = 3.37, p < .001) was positively linked with risk-tAkıng behavior after controlling for other types of childhood maltreatment and sociodemographic variables. The findings emphasize the importance of understanding the unique associations and effects of childhood maltreatment on self-esteem and risk-tAkıng behavior. Prevention and intervention efforts should consider these potential impacts of specific childhood maltreatment types.
