In this study, we examined married individuals' relationship satisfaction in relation to their emotional dependency and dysfunctional relationship beliefs. Our participants consisted of 203 female and 181 male, a total of 384 married individuals from urban cities of Turkey. Controlling the effects of gender and length of marriage, we performed a hierarchical regression analysis. Results revealed that married Turkish individuals' relationship satisfaction was significantly explained by their emotional dependency (sr 2 = .300, p < .001), and perceptions of interpersonal rejection (sr 2 = .075, p < .001) and unrealistic relationship expectations (sr 2 = .028, p .05). When compared to perceptions of interpersonal rejection and unrealistic relationship expectations, emotional dependency had the largest role in explaining participants' satisfaction with their marriages. We discuss the results in light of current literature as well as cultural relevance. We also provide implications for future research and mental health practices.

In the present study, relationships among gender, emotional response to partner's imagined infidelity (emotional and sexual infidelity), and dyadic trust (low and high levels of trust) were investigated as functions of married Turkish individuals' jealousy types (cognitive, emotional, and behavioral). Five hundred thirty seven (276 women and 261 men) married individuals living in urban areas in Turkey participated in the study. Results of the Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) revealed significant main effects for gender, infidelity types, and dyadic trust. Particularly, married Turkish men in this study were found to be more emotionally jealous than women. Participants who responded to sexual infidelity as more upsetting had higher levels of emotional jealousy when compared to the participants who found emotional infidelity more upsetting. Moreover, participants with low dyadic trust for their partners were found to be high in their cognitive jealousy and behavioral jealousy reactions. Results are discussed in details with implications for future research and suggestions for mental health practitioners.

Sinemanın en temel esin kaynağı insan yaşamıdır ve sinema insanın iç dünyasına yapılacak yolculukta önemli bir araçtır. Dolayısıyla, bireyi anlamaya çalışan bir bilim dalı olarak psikoloji her zaman sinemanın içinde var olmuştur. Bu makale, Türkiye'de 2001 yılında vizyona giren yönetmenliğini Jon Turteltaub'un, senaristliğini Audrey Wells'in yaptığı "İçimdeki Çocuk" filminin Adleryan yaklaşıma göre analizidir. Yazarlar, başrol oyuncusu Russ'ın hayatına Adler yaklaşımı bakış açısıyla odaklanmışlar ve filmi sosyal ilgi, yaşam tarzı, aşağılık duygusu ve üstünlük çabası, üstünlük kompleksi, aile etkisi, yaşam görevleri ve ilk anılar gibi Adler yaklaşımının kavramlarını kullanarak analiz etmişlerdir. Yapılan doküman analizinde ana karakter Russ'ın çocukluk anılarının yaşamı üzerinde iz bıraktığı; kişiliğinin çocukluğunda hissettiği yoğun aşağılık duygusundan etkilendiği; yaşam tarzının, mesleğinin ve diğer kişilerle olan ilişkilerinin de bu yaşam olaylarına göre şekillendiği görülmüştür. Sonuç olarak bu çalışma, "İçimdeki Çocuk" filminin Bireysel Psikoloji ile ilgili kuramsal bilginin öğretiminde yaşantısal bir öğrenme materyali olarak kullanılabileceğini göstermiştir.

The haloarchaeal diversity of a salt mine, a natural cave in central Anatolia, was investigated using convential microbiological and molecular biology methods. Eight halophilic archaeal isolates selected based on their colony morphology and whole cell protein profiles were taxonomically classified on the basis of their morphological, physiological, biochemical properties, polar lipid and protein profiles and 16S rDNA sequences. From the 16S rDNA sequences comparisons it was established that the isolates CH2, CH3 and CHC resembled Halorubrum saccharovorum by 98.8%, 98.9% and 99.5%, respectively. There was a 99.7% similarity between the isolate CH11 and Halobacterium noricense and 99.2% between the isolate CHA1 and Haloarcula argentinensis. The isolate CH8K and CH8B revealed a similarity rate of 99.8% and 99.3% to Halococcus dombrowskii, respectively. It was concluded that the isolates named CH2, CH3 and CHC were clustered in the genus Halorubrum and that CHA1 and CH7 in the genus Haloarcula, CH8K and CH8B in the genus Halococcus and CH11 in the genus Halobacterium.
