    Does true love conquer all? The role of romanticized beliefs, abuse type, and ambivalent sexism on emerging adult women's response intentions to dating violence
    (Springer, 2025) Oldac, Buse; Ustunel, Anil Ozge; Erdem, Gizem
    Dating violence is a common problem that affects young women's well-being globally and in Turkey. Understanding young women's interpretations of and response intentions to dating violence is crucial for tackling this problem. Previous research points to romantic love myths and sexist beliefs as factors that justify and normalize violence. Thus, the current research aimed to identify the effects of romanticization and abuse type on young Turkish women's response intentions to dating violence and examine the moderating role of ambivalent sexism via three consecutive studies. Study 1 included three pilots to prepare, revise, and finalize hypothetical vignettes containing physically or emotionally abusive behaviors (Ntotal = 131), while Study 2 examined response intentions to violence (N = 100). Informed by their findings, Study 3 had an experimental design where the participants were randomly assigned to one of the four conditions [2x2 design; abuse type (physical/emotional) and romanticization (yes/no)] to read a vignette and complete a follow-up survey (N = 400). Analysis revealed that young women reported a higher intention to display surviving behaviors (e.g., accommodating the partner) when the vignettes involved emotional abuse, when dating violence was romanticized, or when they endorsed higher ambivalent sexism. In physical abuse scenarios, young women intended to respond more by restoring control (e.g., getting help from friends/family), resisting (e.g., confronting the partner), or ending the relationship. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of young women's perceptions and possible responses to dating violence and inform culturally tailored prevention programs to be implemented on university campuses.

    Dynamic harmony: Unveiling therapeutic attunement in emotionally focused couples therapy via machine learning
    (Wiley, 2025) Baser, Gokcenay; Baser, Oguzhan; Kafescioglu, Nilufer; Erdem, Gizem
    ObjectiveThe goals of the study were to examine therapists' and clients' emotional states and expressions in an emotionally focused therapy (EFT) couple session, to assess therapeutic attunement between the clients and the therapist, and to explore its alignment with EFT techniques.BackgroundTherapeutic attunement is crucial for fostering a therapeutic alliance in couples therapy, yet examining triadic relationships between therapist and partners is methodologically challenging. This case study introduces a novel computational social science approach to capture attunement in an EFT session.MethodA full-length, publicly available EFT session video was analyzed. We generated text, audio, and image data for computerized tracking and conducted a multimodal analysis of emotions using mixture of experts machine learning models.ResultsSeven emotion states were analyzed: anger, fear, surprise, disgust, joy, sadness, and neutral. The results indicated a close alignment between the couple and the therapist's emotions, suggesting high attunement. Three types of attunement by timing were identified: on time, therapist initiated, and delayed. Attunement peaks aligned with EFT techniques.ConclusionHigh levels of therapeutic attunement, facilitated by EFT techniques, can be effectively captured and analyzed using machine learning.ImplicationsThis study highlights the feasibility of using machine learning to track attunement dynamics and aids therapists in exploring therapeutic ruptures.

    Emotion regulation in emotionally focused therapists working with high-conflict couples
    (Wiley, 2024) Yildizhan, Cemile; Kafescioglu, Nilufer; Zeytinoglu-Saydam, Senem; Erdem, Gizem; Soylemez, Yudum; Yumbul, Cigdem
    Guided by the Person-of-the Therapist Training (POTT) Model, the current qualitative study explores emotional experiences and emotion regulation strategies of emotionally focused trained therapists who work with high-conflict couples in Turkey. Twenty-one therapists who completed at least the externship in emotionally focused couple therapy (EFCT) and had prior or current clinical experience working with high-conflict couple(s) were recruited through various social media platforms and professional organizations' listservs. Semistructured individual interviews were conducted, audio-recorded, and transcribed verbatim. Thematic analysis of the qualitative data revealed five main themes: (1) Different Compelling Emotional Experiences of the Therapists, (2) Sun After Storm, (3) Triggers of Therapists' Emotions, (4) Perceived Adaptive Emotion Regulation Strategies, and (5) Positive Impact of the Therapist's Regulation Strategies on the Therapy Process. Overall, the findings supported the three phases of the POTT model: namely, knowledge of self, access to self, and use of self. Our study demonstrates the need for integrating self-of-the-therapist work into the clinical practice, training, and supervision of therapists working with distressed couples.

    Psychometric Properties of the Brief Accessibility, Responsiveness, and Engagement Scale in a Community Sample of Turkish Adults
    (Wiley, 2021) Zeytinoglu-Saydam, Senem; Erdem, Gizem; Soylemez, Yudum
    Objective The current study explored the psychometric properties of the Brief Accessibility, Responsivity, and Engagement (BARE) scale in a sample of Turkish adults in ongoing committed relationships (N = 509). Background The sense of safety that results from accessibility, responsiveness, and engagement in a romantic relationship predicts more positive expectations and affect about one's partner, as well as better emotion regulation and communication skills in a relationship. However, there are no studies investigating the measurement of these behaviors in the context of Turkish culture. Method The data for this study were collected through either social media and online listservs or three college campuses in Istanbul from November 2016 to June 2017. Participants were 27.26 (SD = 9.82) years old on average and mostly women (82.9%, n = 422), and approximately one quarter were married (23.4%, n = 121). Results Results showed that the BARE scale demonstrated good internal and test-retest reliability, as well as adequate concurrent and discriminant validity. Confirmatory factor analysis supported the 12-item structure of the BARE scale, but there was no support for the 2-item by six-subscale structure in the Turkish sample. Due to the high overlap between the BARE Self and Partner subscales, the scale appears to be a single-factor measure when used in the Turkish context with a community sample of adults in romantic relationships. Conclusion Further research is needed to test the BARE scale's psychometric qualities among distressed and clinical samples, using reports of both partners.
