Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Modus operandi of persons convicted of a sexual offense from victims' perspectives in a Turkish sample(SAGE Publications, 2021) Zeyrek Rıos, Emek Yüce; Zeyrek-Rios, Emek Yüce; Lester, David; Department of Psychology / Psikoloji BölümüChild sexual abuse is typically studied using reports from the offender and in Western countries. The aim of the present study was to investigate pre- and post-abuse strategies of persons convicted of a sexual offense to children in Turkey using the statements made by the child victims and to frame the results using rational choice theory. A qualitative study was made for the themes in the police statements from 46 children who were victims of child sexual abuse. The content analysis revealed that persons convicted of a sexual offense to children differ in terms of their methods to approach children and in their pre- and post-abuse behaviors depending on their relationship with the victim. A total of 85 percent of the offenses were extra-familial and 15 percent within the family. Only 21 percent of the extra-familial offenses were opportunist; most involved bribes and introductions through friends or intermediaries. Two tactics unique to Turkey were promises of marriage and the use of children as intermediaries. The use of force and blackmail was more common in the intra-familial offenses. The results of the qualitative analysis were, on the whole, consistent with results from persons convicted of a sexual offense to children’s statements, but some of the tactics used by offenders in Turkey were unique to Turkish culture.Article Citation - WoS: 26Citation - Scopus: 32An analysis of age-standardized suicide rates in Muslim-majority countries in 2000-2019(BMC Public Health, 2022) Zeyrek Rıos, Emek Yüce; Bob Lew; Lester, David; Kõlves, Kairi; Yip, Paul S. F.; Ibrahim, Norhayati; Department of Psychology / Psikoloji BölümüBackground: This study examines the 20-year trend of suicide in 46 Muslim-majority countries throughout the world and compares their suicide rates and trends with the global average. Ecological-level associations between the proportion of the Muslim population, the age-standardized suicide rates, male-to-female suicide rate ratio, and the Human Development Index (HDI) in 2019 were examined. Methods: Age-standardized suicide rates were extracted from the WHO Global Health Estimates database for the period between 2000 and 2019. The rates in each country were compared with the age-standardized global average during the past 20 years. The countries were further grouped according to their regions/sub-regions to calculate the regional and sub-regional weighted age-standardized suicide rates involving Muslim-majority countries. Correlation analyses were conducted between the proportion of Muslims, age-standardized suicide rate, male: female suicide rate ratio, and the HDI in all countries. Joinpoint regression was used to analyze the age-standardized suicide rates in 2000-2019. Results: The 46 countries retained for analysis included an estimated 1.39 billion Muslims from a total worldwide Muslim population of 1.57 billion. Of these countries, eleven (23.9%) had an age-standardized suicide rate above the global average in 2019. In terms of regional/sub-regional suicide rates, Muslim-majority countries in the Sub-Saharan region recorded the highest weighted average age-standardized suicide rate of 10.02/100,000 population, and Southeastern Asia recorded the lowest rate (2.58/100,000 population). There were significant correlations between the Muslim population proportion and male-to-female rate ratios (r=-0.324, p=0.028), HDI index and age-standardized suicide rates (r=-0.506, p<0.001), and HDI index and male-to-female rate ratios (r=0.503, p<0.001) in 2019. Joinpoint analysis revealed that seven Muslim-majority countries (15.2%) recorded an increase in the average annual percentage change regarding age-standardized suicide rates during 2000-2019. Conclusions: Most Muslim-majority countries had lower age-standardized suicide rates than the global average, which might reflect religious belief and practice or due to Muslim laws in their judicial and social structure which may lead to underreporting. This finding needs further in-depth country and region-specific study with regard to its implication for public policy.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 5Perceptions Toward Criminals Scale: the Reliability and Validity Analyses(Cumhuriyet Univ Tip Fak Psikiyatri Anabilim Dali, 2019) Zeyrek Rıos, Emek Yüce; Ozturk, Meral; Zeyrek Rios, Emek Yuce; Kanak, Mehmet; Demir, Ecem; Department of Psychology / Psikoloji BölümüObjective: The aim of this study is to develop a tool to measure the perceptions of professionals about criminals who are working with criminals or who can possibly work with them in the future. Methods: A 50-item preliminary scale was formed based on the review of the relevant literature, the pilot study and expert opinions. The scale was administered to 392 students. Results: Analysis was conducted with remaining 39 items after item-correlation analysis. The KMO value of the scale was 0.859 and the result of the Bartlett test was 1518.42. The results of the explanatory factor analysis yielded two factors and 12 items. In this scale, the first factor explained 32.42% of the total variance while the second factor explained 20% of the total variance (52.42% in total). The validity analysis of the scale was conducted on a sample of 310 students and the indices showed a good fit (chi(2)/sd= 2.43; RMSEA=0.68; GFI=0.935; AGFI=0.905; NFI=0.902; CFI=0.94). In addition internal validity analyses were performed and the scale was found to have internal validity. In terms of the reliability analyses, Cronbach's alpha (0.82) and split-half analysis (0.80) were performed and the scale's reliability was verified. Conclusion: The validity and reliability analyzes showed that the Perceptions toward Criminals Scale can be applied to professionals working with criminals or who can potentially work with them in the future.Review Sınırda Kişilik Bozukluğu Tedavisinde Diyalektik Davranışçı Terapi(2020) Zeyrek Rıos, Emek Yüce; Department of Psychology / Psikoloji BölümüDiyalektik Davranışçı Terapi (DBT) Sınırda Kişilik Bozukluğu (SKB) tedavisinde öncelikli olarak ve en çok çalışılan BDT yaklaşımıdır. DBT SKB kriterlerini karşıladığı anlaşılan intihar eğilimi olan kadınlar için geliştirilen modüler ve manuelize edilmiş bir tedavi programıdır. DBT biyososyal teoriye dayanır. Bu teoriye göre, duygusal olarak hassas bir mizaçla doğma gibi biyolojik etmenler ile birlikte sosyal veya çevresel etmenler SKB’nin gelişiminde rol oynar. DBT kabul temelli ve değişime dayalı stratejilerin dengesine dikkat eder. Bu, terapistin üzerinde dengede durmaya çalıştığı bir tahterevalli gibidir. DBT, bireysel terapi, beceri eğitimi, telefonla danışma, terapist danışma ekibi ve yardımcı tedaviler olmak üzere beş tedavi modundan oluşur. BDT’yi öğrenme alandaki tekniklerine dayanan bir değişim yöntemi olarak düşünürsek, DBT daha çok değişimi kabul ile dengeleyen bir tedavi türüdür. Öte yandan, DBT’de uygulanan bilişsel değişim programı BDT’den alınmıştır. DBT, çeşitli ortamlara ve popülasyonlara başarıyla uygulanabilir. DBT’nin en temel avantajı, düşük terapiyi bırakma oranlarıdır. Genellenebilirliği konusunda daha fazla araştırmaya ihtiyaç duyulmasına rağmen, özellikle farklı ekollerdeki terapistler tarafından da yaygın olarak kullanıldığı için başarılı tedavilerden biri olduğunu kanıtlamıştır.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Offense Narrative Roles of Turkish Offenders(International Journal of Offender Therapy and Comparative Criminology, 2021) Zeyrek Rıos, Emek Yüce; Canter, David V.; Youngs, Donna; Department of Psychology / Psikoloji BölümüThe study of offense narratives emphasizes the agency of the offender which brings psychology closer to law. As an effort to create a standardized and quantitative method to evaluate offender narratives, Youngs and Canter developed the Narrative Roles Questionnaire (NRQ) based on the content analyses of the crime narratives of offenders in UK prisons. The current study aims to investigate the applicability of offense narrative roles framework among Turkish offenders. The application of the offense narrative roles model to a non-Western country is the first step toward the acceptance of criminal narrative theory as a universal explanation of criminal behavior. A translation of the NRQ was administered to 468 Turkish male inmates who have committed a wide range of offenses from fraud to murder. The results of an MDS analysis yielded four roles, namely Professional, Revenger, Hero, and Victim, echoing the original formulation proposed by Youngs and Canter. The reliability coefficients of scales derived for these roles were all at desired levels. The results support the applicability of the NRQ framework in a non-English context.Article Citation - WoS: 0Citation - Scopus: 2Correction: An analysis of age-standardized suicide rates in Muslim-majority countries in 2000-2019(BMC Public Health, 2022) Zeyrek Rıos, Emek Yüce; Lew, Bob; Lester, David; Department of Psychology / Psikoloji Bölümü; Ibrahim, NorhayatiTe original publication of this article [1] contained an error in the discussion section.
