Consequently, little is known on refugees' intentions to return home or migrate to another country. The present research investigates whether positive and negative contact with Turks are related to Syrian refugees' migration decisions via perceived discrimination, identification with the host society, and life satisfaction. Using a sample of Syrian adults (N = 285), we found that positive contact with Turks was associated with reduced return intentions via perceived discrimination and identification with the host society and with reduced intentions to migrate from Turkey to the Western countries via life satisfaction. Negative contact was only associated with increased return intentions via perceived discrimination. This study underscores the role of intergroup contact to better understand migration decisions of refugees and potential underlying mechanisms to explain this association.

The present study investigated how social media addiction is associated with three components of mental health: depression, anxiety, and stress. In addition, structural equation modeling was used to test the mediating roles of internet addiction and phubbing among a sample of young adults (N = 603). Results showed that social media addiction was associated with poorer mental health via internet addiction and phubbing. More specifically, associations between social media addiction and stress, and social media addiction and anxiety were explained by both internet addiction and phubbing. The association between social media addiction and depression was explained by internet addiction only. These results remained consistent after controlling for gender, age, frequency of internet use, frequency of social media use, and frequency of smartphone use. These findings extend the extant literature by providing evidence for the dual roles of internet addiction and phubbing in explaining the relationship between social media addiction and poor mental health. Social media addiction did not directly influence poorer mental health but did via internet addiction and phubbing. Therefore, greater awareness of the inter-relationships between technology-based behaviors and their impact on mental health is needed among a wide range of stakeholders, and these inter-relationships need considering in the prevention and treatment of technology-based disorders.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2The Role of Technological Devices in Parent-Children Interactions: The Correlated Variables of Children's Well-Being and Life Satisfaction(Sage Publications inc, 2025) Kiliman, Sevinc; Ergun, Naif; Aslan, Alper; Goksu, IdrisThis study aims to examine children's well-being and life satisfaction in terms of various variables related to parents' and children's problematic technology usage. Specifically, parent/child responses during their technology use and parents' phubbing and technoference behaviors were considered. The study was conducted with 185 children (8-14) and their parents (mother = 96, father = 89). The data were analyzed by performing correlation analysis, multiple regression analysis, t test, and one-way ANOVA. According to the results, there were negative correlations between children's life satisfaction and age, children's technological device (smartphone, computer) usage time, and children/parents responding negatively to each other when engaged in technological devices. Children's well-being was negatively correlated to their age and children/parents responding negatively to each other when engaged in technological devices. A positive correlation was found between children's life satisfaction and well-being as well as parents' phubbing and technoference. According to another result, the well-being of children having their own computer was significantly higher than those who do not have a computer. Finally, children/parents responding negatively to each other when engaged in technological devices negatively predicted the children's life satisfaction and well-being.Article Identity development of Assyrian/Syriac youth: Narratives of becoming a self(Elsevier, 2022) Ergün, NaifThis study aims to analyze the narrative identities of a group of Assyrian/Syriac youth, in particular, to investigate the role of their intergenerational narratives on their narrative identities. Accordingly, interviews were conducted with eight male Assyrian/Syriac young people and the families of four of them who lived in Mardin, Turkey. The narratives of each participant were examined through a holistic approach, analyzing their lives in the context of their personal and intergenerational narratives throughout their lifelines. In the analysis, the turning points of individuals are depicted on the figures, and three lifeline figures were mapped. Findings indicated that although the participants lived under similar living conditions and grew up in the same area, they each narrated their identities differently. For example, one participant described his identity as victimic, communion and burden, while another participant described his identity as agentic, communion, and benefit, and yet another narrated his identity as agentic, agency, and benefit. The individual analysis that emerged in the narratives of all participants was discussed in the context of the literature on identity and narrative identity.Article Social Media Addiction and Poor Mental Health: Examining the Mediating Roles of Internet Addiction and Phubbing(SAGE Publications Inc, 2025) Ergun, Naif; Ozkan, Zafer; Griffiths, Mark D.Many researchers have examined the potential detrimental role of problematic social media use (often referred as 'social media addiction') on mental health.

Moreover, the expectation that AI will bring many benefits keeps optimism about AI alive. Accordingly, we aimed to develop the AI Competence Anxiety Scale (AICAS) (in Studies I and II) and the AI Optimism Scale (AIOS) (in Studies III and IV) and to examine the serial mediating role of AI self-efficacy and AI optimism between generative AI (GenAI) literacy and AI competence anxiety (in Study V). Exploratory factor analysis revealed a single-factor structure for the AICAS and AIOS, and Item Response Theory found high discrimination of the items (Study I for AICAS and Study III for AIOS). Model fit values, convergent validity, composite reliability, and reliability coefficients of AICAS and AIOS were within the acceptance range (Study II for AICAS and Study IV for AIOS). As evidence of criterion-related validity, AI competence anxiety showed significant associations with AI anxiety and acceptance, whereas AI optimism was significantly related to digital well-being and AI self-efficacy. Study V found that AI self-efficacy and AI optimism mediated the relationship between GenAI literacy and AI competence anxiety. These results suggest that AICAS, for measuring AI competence anxiety, and AIOS for measuring AI optimism, are valuable and valid. They also suggest that GenAI literacy-based strategies have the potential to alleviate AI competence anxiety by enhancing AI self-efficacy and AI optimism.Article Okulda Ruh Sağlığı Hizmetleri Kapsamında Mülteci Çocuklar(2022) Ergün, Naif; Bozdağ, FarukMülteci çocukların psikososyal, akademik ve mesleki gelişiminde okullar önemli bir rol taşımaktadır. Özellikle okullarda ruh sağlığı hizmeti sunan PDR uzmanlarının bu süreçteki etkilerinin kritik olduğu bilinmektedir. Mülteci çocuklarla çalışma deneyimi olan PDR uzmanlarının sorunlara yaklaşım tarzları, zorlandıkları alanlar, destek ihtiyaçları ve önerilerinin belirlenmesi bu yönde sunulacak hizmetlerin niteliğini arttırabilmektedir. Bu çalışmada mülteci çocuklarla çalışma yürütmüş olan PDR uzmanlarının deneyimleri incelenmiştir. Fenomenolojik desenle tasarlanan araştırmada 38 PDR uzmanından veri toplanmıştır. Veriler, tematik analiz tekniğiyle analiz edilmiştir. Analizler sonucunda PDR uzmanlarının mülteci çocuklara ilişkin algıları, mülteci çocuklara yaklaşım tarzları, mülteci çocukların talepleri, mülteci çocuklara yönelik yürütülen çalışmalar, mülteci çocuklarla çalışabilme yetkinliği ve mülteci çocuklara yönelik etkili müdahale önerileri olmak üzere altı tema ve bu temalara bağlı 27 alt tema belirlenmiştir. PDR uzmanlarının mülteci çocuklara ilişkin gerçekçi bir algıya sahip oldukları, mülteci çocukların talepleri doğrultusunda kendilerine yönelik çeşitli faaliyetleri genel olarak profesyonel bir tutumla yürüttükleri, bu süreçte zorlandıkları bazı durumların olduğu ve bu durumlar karşısında çeşitli başa çıkma yöntemleri geliştirdikleri saptanmıştır. Mülteci çocuklarla çalışma, PDR uzmanlarının mesleki becerilerine katkı sunmakta, bununla birlikte PDR uzmanları, sundukları hizmetleri geliştirmek için dile dayanmayan yöntemler, travma eğitimi, mülteci hakları, psikoeğitim ve oyun gibi alanlarda eğitime ihtiyaç duymaktadır. PDR uzmanları, deneyimlerine dayanarak mülteci çocuklara yönelik etkili müdahaleler için çeşitli öneriler sunmaktadır. Elde edilen sonuçlar doğrultusunda okul PDR servislerinin, mülteci çocukların ruh sağlığını artırmak için olumlu deneyimleri artırıcı faaliyetlerin öncüsü olabileceği değerlendirilmiştir.Article Citation - WoS: 26Citation - Scopus: 30Distance education amid a pandemic: Which psycho-demographic variables affect students in higher education?(Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2021) Sakız, Halis; Göksu, İdris; Ergün, Naif; Özkan, ZaferThe Covid-19 pandemic has led to a rapid transition from face-to-face to distance learning. The problems caused by this rapid transition are combined with the negative psychological outcomes of the pandemic, leading to numerous problems and difficulties in the teaching and learning processes. The recentness of these issues and developments requires detailed investigation as to how they affect distance learning. This study aims to investigate the role of psycho-demographic variables in the motivation and attendance of higher education students in distance education within the context of the Covid-19 pandemic. In this descriptive study, we collected data from 1494 Turkish university students via an online survey. Quantitative data were analysed using correlation analysis, t test, one-way ANOVA, multiple linear regression analysis, and structural equation modelling. Stress, anxiety, depression and intolerance of uncertainty were correlated negatively with distance learning motivation and frequency of distance learning attendance. While students who attended distance learning only synchronously joined the courses more frequently, the motivation of those who joined the courses sometimes synchronously and sometimes asynchronously was higher. The strength of the relationships between intolerance of uncertainty and distance learning motivation was significantly increased via anxiety and depression. Findings highlight the need for analysis of psycho-demographic variables while designing and implementing distance education programmes. Psychological variables including stress, anxiety and depression are related to motivation and attendance during distance education. While using both synchronous and asynchronous distance learning enhances motivation, synchronous learning increases attendance.
