Aim of this study is to investigate of couple burnout in terms of some demografic variables, spousal support, dyadic trust, and interpersonel cognitive distortions in Turkey. The participant of the study is 482 married individuals, who are 271 female, 211 male live in Elazığ. To collect data; personel information form, Marriage Burnout Scale-Short Form (MBS-SF), Dyadic Trust Scale (DTS), Spouse Support Scale (SSS), and Interpersonel Cognitive Distortions Scale (ICDS) were applied to participants. To analyse data; correlation, t test, ANOVA and structural equation model (SEM) were used. Results revealed that there were significant differences between couple burnout and independent variables (gender, types of marriage, consanguineous marriage, number of children, and education level ). According to results from SEM, 44% variance of couple burnout was explained by spousal support, dyadic trust, and interpersonel cognitive distortions. The results of the study were discussed together with the results of different studies and suggestions were made.

Abstract:The

Development of a Problematic Mobile Phone Use Scale for university students: validity and reliability studyObjective: This study aims to develop a Problematic Mobile Phone Use Scale (PMPUS) to determine the problematic mobile phone use by university students.Method: Study participants for exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were 725 university students, for test-retest 126 university students. The psychometric characteristics of the scale were investigated using test-retest, internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha), item analysis, EFA, CFA, and criterion-related validity methods.Results: According to results obtained from exploratory factor analysis, it was determined that PMPUS had four subdimensions. Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed this four-subdimension structure. Reliability data for the PMPUS found Cronbach's Alpha coefficients of 0.92 for EFA and 0.93 for CFA, respectively. Test-retest coefficient for PMPUS was 0.85. Furthermore, a positive, high correlation (r=0.75) was found between PMPUS and Mobile Phone Problem Use Scale (MPPUS). Subscales of PMPUS also showed the required values for validity and reliability.Conclusion: According to the results, PMPUS is a reliable and valid scale with 26 items in four subdimensions.
