    Psychological Maltreatment of Women Inventory Short Form - Turkish Adaptation
    (Klinik Psikiyatri Dergisi, 2017) Ersoy, Nevra Cem; Hunler, Olga Selin; Namer, Yudit
    Objective: This study aims to adapt a short form of Psychological Maltreatment of Women Inventory (Tolman 1989) to Turkish and to examine the psychometric properties of the Turkish short form. Method: Participants were 852 women between the ages of 2355 (32.12 +/- 10.97 years), who were either married (48%) or in a romantic relationship (47%) during data collection. The questionnaire was comprised of Psychological Maltreatment of Women Inventory (PMWI), Submissive Acts Scale (SAS) and demographic information form. Principal Components Analysis was used for confirmatory construct validity, and Pearson correlation coefficients between SAS and PMWI total scores were calculated for discriminatory validity. Cronbach-Alpha internal consistency coefficients and split-half reliability were measured to establish internal consistency. Results: The three-factor (Restriction/Blaming/Threat; Emotional-Verbal Violence; Responsibility) structure explained 64.3% of variance. Internal consistency coefficient (Cronbach-Alpha) was found to be .93; split half reliability was found to be .90 and .87 for the first and second halves, respectively, and the correlation between the two halves were found to be .71. Conclusion: The Turkish short form of Psychological Maltreatment of Women Inventory is a valid and reliable tool to measure psychological maltreatment experienced by married women, or women in romantic relationships.

    Behavioral Immune System and Trypophobia
    (Klinik Psikiyatri Dergisi, 2022) Ozturk, Suleyman; Ceylan, Deniz; Demir, Ayse Banu; Kazdagli, Hasan; Erdeniz, Burak
    Pathogens, which are the source of infectious diseases, have imposed a strong selection pressure on human evo-lution as one of the most important causes of human death during the natural selection process. As a result of this, it is assumed that a variety of adaptations have evolved against infection threats and one of these adap-tations is the physiological immune system. However, activation of the physiological immune system can be quite costly for organisms in some cases, and therefore it has been recently proposed in evolutionary psychology that an adaptive system called behavioral immune sys-tem may have evolved in association with the proactive functional processes against pathogen threats. Furthermore, it was hypothesized that a number of psy-chopathologies might develop as a result of maladaptive processes affecting the functionality of this system, and one of these psychopathologies might be trypophobia. Trypophobia refers to a psychological disorder in which individuals experience aversion and disgust at excessive levels toward clusters of small objects such as holes and bumps. Following this, the current review was estab-lished within the framework of three distinct goals. Firstly, this review aimed to discuss the evolutionary basis and mechanisms of the behavioral immune system. Secondly, the review aimed to discuss the characteristic features and the etiological explanations of trypophobia. Finally, the review aimed to discuss how potential changes in the behavioral immune system might lead to the development of trypophobia.
