    Bu çalışmanın amacı depresyon, anksiyete, stres ile akıllı telefon bağımlılığı arasındaki ilişkide yaşantısal kaçınmanın aracılık rolünün incelenmesidir. Araştırmanın örneklemini yaşları 18-32 arasında değişen 451'i kadın (%78.2) ve 177'si erkek (%21.8) olmak üzere toplamda 577 üniversite öğrencisi oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmada Akıllı Telefon Bağımlılığı Ölçeği Kısa Formu, Çok Boyutlu Yaşantısal Kaçınma Ölçeği ve Depresyon Anksiyete Stres Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde Pearson korelasyon analizi, bağımsız örneklemler t-testi ve Paralel Çoklu Aracı Değişken analizi kullanılmıştır. Yapılan analizler sonucunda kadın katılımcıların anksiyete, stres ve davranışsal kaçınma düzeylerinin erkek katılımcılardan anlamlı düzeyde yüksek olduğu belirlenmiştir. Korelasyon analizi sonuçlarına göre depresyon, anksiyete, stres, yaşantısal kaçınma stratejileri ve akıllı telefon bağımlılığı arasında pozitif yönlü anlamlı ilişkiler olduğu belirlenmiştir. Aracılık analizleri sonucunda depresyon, anksiyete, stres ile akıllı telefon bağımlılığı arasındaki ilişkide yaşantısal kaçınma stratejilerinin aracılık etkisinin olduğu belirlenmiştir. Çalışma kapsamında elde edilen bulgular, ilgili alanyazın ışığında tartışılmış ve öneriler sunulmuştur.The aim of this study is to examine the mediating role of experiential avoidance in the relationship between depression, anxiety, stress and smartphone addiction. The sample of the study comprised 577 university students aged between 18-32, 451 female (78.2%) and 177 male (21.8%). Smartphone Addiction Scale Short Form, Multidimensional Experiential Avoidance Scale and Depression Anxiety Stress Scale were employed in the study. Pearson correlation analysis, independent sample t-test and Parallel Multiple Mediator Variable analysis were used in the analysis of the data. As a result of the analysis, it was determined that the anxiety, stress and behavioral avoidance levels of the female participants were significantly higher than the males. According to the results of the correlation analysis, it was determined that there are positive and significant relationships between depression, anxiety, stress, experiential avoidance strategies and smartphone addiction. As a result of mediation analysis, it was determined that experiential avoidance strategies had a mediating effect in the relationship between depression, anxiety, stress and smartphone addiction. The findings within the scope of the study were discussed in the light of the relevant literature and suggestions were presented

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    Variations on the Author

    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    Full text link
    We provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    We conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more sophisticated methods

    We have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used

    Experiential avoidance in the relationship between depression, anxiety, stress, and smartphone addiction

    While the strong correlation between negative emotional experiences such as depression, anxiety, stress, and smartphone addiction, is well-established, understanding the mechanisms that mediate this relationship remains limited. The aim of this study is to investigate the mediating role of experiential avoidance in the relationships between depression, anxiety, stress, and smartphone addiction in university students. A sample of 546 university students from various regions of Türkiye participated in this study (426 females [78.3%] and 120 males [21.7%]). The Depression Anxiety Stress Scale, Multidimensional Experiential Avoidance Questionnaire, and Smartphone Addiction Scale Short Version were employed for data collection. Structural equation modeling was employed for data analysis. After controlling for age and gender, the results revealed (i) significant positive associations between depression, anxiety, stress, experiential avoidance, and smartphone addiction; and (ii) experiential avoidance mediated the effects of depression, anxiety, and stress on smartphone addiction. These findings shed light on the effects of depression, anxiety, stress, and experiential avoidance on the comprehension and prevention of smartphone addiction
