The Relationship Between Perceived Parental Rejection and Dating Anxiety: The Mediating Role of Interpersonal Cognitive Distortions

Appearance Orientation and Dating Anxiety in Emerging Adults: Considering the Roles of Appearance-Based Rejection Sensitivity, Social Physique Anxiety, and Self-Compassion

“…In tandem with renewed interest in the construct and outcomes of dating anxiety (e.g., Adamczyk et al, 2021 ; Epli et al, 2021 ; Paul, 2021 ), recent work has suggested that appearance-related factors—including appearance orientation (Swami et al, 2021a , 2021b , 2021c ) and self-evaluative salience of appearance (Shaw et al, 2018 )—may be associated with dating anxiety. Additionally, drawing on cognitive-behavioral models of body image (Cash, 2002 ), it has been suggested that appearance orientation may heighten social physique anxiety, which in turn is associated with greater dating anxiety (Swami et al, 2021a , b , c ).…”

“…In the longer term, significant levels of dating anxiety may also lead to various mental health and behavioral concerns, including diminished self-esteem, fewer sexual experiences, feelings of loneliness, a lack of confidence or assertiveness, and poorer self-rated social skills (Adamczyk, 2015 ; Adamczyk et al, 2021 ; Boyle & O’Sullivan, 2013 ; Sumter & Vandenbosch, 2019 ; Weisskirch, 2017 ; Welsh et al, 2005 ). An important task for scholars, therefore, is to identify factors that place emerging adults at greater risk for dating anxiety, such as problematic internet use (Odacı & Kalkan, 2010 ), negative social interactions (La Greca & Mackey, 2007 ), and parental rejection (Epli et al, 2021 ).…”

The Effect of Empowering Leadership Characteristics of School Principals According to Teachers' Perceptions on Teachers' Psychological Ownership and Work Engagement

“…the studies conducted in the relevant literature, skewness, and kurtosis values of ±3.0 values (De Carlo, 1997 as cited in Büyükbeşe & Gökaslan, 2018) and ±1.5 values and being close to zero are shown as evidence of normal distribution (Tabachnick & Fidell, 2020 as cited inEpli et al, 2021). When the skewness and kurtosis results of the scales used in the study were examined, it was determined that the dimensions other than the empowerment and responsibility dimension of the Empowering Leadership Scale and the intrinsic responsibility dimension of the Psychological Ownership Scale and the Work Commitment Scale showed a normal distribution.…”
