    Battal, Fetullah; Öz, Halil Hakdan; Yılmaz, Şeymanur

    Objectives: This study aimed to analyze publication and citation trends, productive journals, influential authors, university productivity, and conceptual structures in the field of mental health and psychological well-being using biblio-metric analysis methods. Methods: This bibliometric study was conducted using 522 research articles from the Web of Science database. The analysis evaluated annual publication counts, citation counts, author and institutional performance, regional distri-bution, co-citation networks, thematic mapping, and citation networks. Core journals in the field were also identified using Bradford’s Law. Results: The findings indicate that while the number of annual publications has increased over time, citation counts have fluctuated. The most productive journal was identified as Personality and Individual Differences. The most fre-quently used concepts in the field were mental health, depression, and stress. Among 1,849 authors, Creed PA stood out with 5 publications, and Crocker J. with 826 citations. In terms of institutions, publication output was concentrated at universities such as the University of Michigan, Griffith University, and Syracuse University. The United States was central in terms of regional distribution. Thematic and co-occurrence networks showed that the concept of “mental health” was central. Citation networks indicated a limited number of key studies in the field. Bradford’s Law indicated that the literature was concentrated in certain areas. Conclusion: The field of mental health and psychological well-being has developed around certain authors, journals, and institutions. The number of publications has increased, but citation visibility has remained limited. Fundamental concepts related to the field continue to shape its structure.

    Psychological well-being, body image and self-esteem in elite and amateur female taekwondo athletes in Türkiye

    Gönen, Mevlüt; Türkmen, Mutlu; Çakır, Zekai; Arı, Fatih; Çatıkkaş, Fatih

    Background: Female athletes competing in weight-category sports may experience unique psychological pressures related to body image, performance expectations, and sociocultural gender norms. While elite sport participation is often assumed to enhance psychological functioning, evidence remains mixed. This study examined differences in psychological well-being, body image, self-esteem, and athletic identity between elite and amateur female taekwondo athletes in Türkiye, a cultural context characterised by distinct gender and body norms, and explored their associations with psychological well-being. Türkiye represents a theoretically relevant context in which institutional weight regulation intersects with sociocultural gender norms, creating a setting in which body-related psychological experiences may be uniquely shaped by both sport structures and cultural expectations. Methods: A cross-sectional design was employed with 233 female taekwondo athletes (107 elite, 126 amateur; M_age = 22.0 ± 3.2 years). Participants completed validated Turkish versions of the Warwick–Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale (WEMWBS), the Body Appreciation Scale-2 (BAS-2), the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES), and the Athletic Identity Measurement Scale (AIMS). Independent samples t-tests, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), Pearson correlations, and hierarchical multiple regression analyses were conducted. Results: No significant differences were found between elite and amateur athletes in psychological well-being or self-esteem. Elite athletes demonstrated significantly stronger athletic identity (p <.001), whereas amateur athletes reported significantly, though modestly, higher body image scores (p =.046). In regression analyses, self-esteem (β = 0.428, p <.001) and body image (β = 0.354, p <.001) were significant predictors of psychological well-being, jointly explaining 52.6% of the variance (R² = 0.526), with self-esteem showing the strongest independent association. Effect size estimates indicated that differences were large for athletic identity (d = 0.75), small for body image (d = 0.26), and negligible for psychological well-being and self-esteem (d = 0.09 and d = 0.13, respectively). Conclusions: Psychological well-being in female taekwondo athletes was more strongly associated with self-esteem and body image than with competitive level. These findings support prioritising self-esteem and body appreciation in structured psychological support programs for female athletes in weight-category sport systems.

    Mindfulness-Acceptance-Commitment Intervention Effects on Athletic Performance, Passion, and Psychological Well-being in Competitive Tennis Players: A Randomized Controlled Trial

    Abidi, Wafa; Fall, Estelle; Chalghaf, Nasr; Ceylan, Halil İbrahim; Muntean, Raul Ioan; Dergaa, Ismail; Candar, Reyhan; Özdemir, Kübra; Çingöz, Yunus Emre; Man, Cristina Maria

    While traditional psychological skills training focuses on cognitive control, mindfulness-based approaches emphasize acceptance and present-moment awareness. The Mindfulness-Acceptance-Commitment (MAC) protocol shows promise for enhancing athletic performance; however, limited research has examined its effects on passion and well-being in tennis players. Forty-four competitive male tennis players (M age = 18.1 ± 1.1 years) were randomly assigned to either a MAC intervention group (n = 22) or a passive control group (n = 22). The MAC protocol consisted of seven weekly 45-minute sessions focusing on mindfulness, acceptance, and values-driven behavior. Primary outcomes included tennis serve performance assessed by certified coaches using a standardized 16-serve protocol. Secondary outcomes included mindfulness skills (Mindful Attention Awareness Scale), subjective well-being (Positive and Negative Affect Schedule, Satisfaction with Life Scale), harmonious passion, and obsessive passion (Passion Scale). Intention-to-treat analyses with 44 participants revealed significant improvements in the MAC group compared to controls. Tennis serve performance improved significantly in the MAC group (pre: 13.18 ± 2.19 to post: 15.09 ± 2.45, t(21) = 7.54, p < .001, d = 0.87) but not in the control group (pre: 13.05 ± 2.33 to post: 12.86 ± 2.41, t(21) = 0.78, p = .442, d = 0.08), with a significant between-group difference at post-test (t(42) = 3.71, p = .001, d = 1.12). Mindfulness skills improved substantially in the MAC group (pre: 39.00 ± 4.18 to post: 52.73 ± 3.65, t(21) = 13.76, p < .001, d = 3.28) compared to controls (pre: 43.55 ± 4.75 to post: 44.32 ± 4.12, t(21) = 1.31, p = .203, d = 0.16), with a significant between-group difference (t(42) = 7.16, p < .001, d = 2.16). Harmonious passion increased significantly in the MAC group (pre: 17.27 ± 2.64 to post: 24.05 ± 4.16, t(21) = 6.15, p < .001, d = 2.57) while remaining stable in controls (pre: 17.86 ± 3.75 to post: 16.91 ± 3.61, t(21) = 1.65, p = .114, d = 0.25), with a significant between-group difference (t(42) = 6.40, p < .001, d = 1.93). Obsessive passion decreased in the MAC group (pre: 23.73 ± 3.66 to post: 16.27 ± 2.86, t(21) = 7.54, p < .001, d = 2.04) while remaining unchanged in controls (pre: 18.00 ± 3.85 to post: 18.41 ± 4.04, t(21) = 0.85, p = .406, d = 0.11), with a significant between-group difference (t(42) =-2.02, p = .050, d =-0.61). Subjective well-being improved markedly in the MAC group (pre: 9.00 ± 7.37 to post: 27.09 ± 7.47, t(21) = 8.37, p < .001, d = 2.45) compared to controls (pre: 4.54 ± 5.85 to post: 8.72 ± 6.08, t(21) = 0.65, p = .526, d = 0.71), with a significant between-group difference (t(42) = 6.85, p < .001, d = 2.07). MAC training represents an effective intervention for enhancing tennis performance, psychological well-being, and adaptive passion while reducing maladaptive passion. These findings support the clinical utility of mindfulness-based approaches in tennis psychology and warrant further investigation on a larger scale.

    From screens to minds: the mediating role of psychological well-being between digital reading and AI anxiety

    Özbilen, Uğur; Banaz, Emrullah; Şahin, Tuğrul Gökmen

    Introduction: This study investigates the mediating role of psychological well-being in the relationship between digital reading disposition and artificial intelligence (AI) anxiety among Turkish teachers. Addressing the growing concern of technology-related anxiety in education, the research explores how digital literacy and psychological resilience interact within a single structural model. Methods: A correlational research design was employed with data collected from 324 teachers. Participants completed the Digital Reading Disposition Scale, the Psychological Well-Being Scale, and the Artificial Intelligence Anxiety Scale. Bootstrapped structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to test the measurement model and the hypothesized mediation effect. Prior to SEM analysis, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was conducted to establish construct validity of the scales. Results: Findings revealed that digital reading disposition was positively associated with psychological well-being and negatively linked with AI anxiety. Psychological well-being was also negatively related to AI anxiety. Moreover, psychological well-being partially mediated the relationship between digital reading disposition and AI anxiety. Discussion: The results suggest that teachers with stronger digital reading dispositions experience higher psychological well-being, which in turn buffers against AI-related anxiety. These findings contribute novel theoretical insights to educational literature by integrating digital reading, psychological well-being, and AI anxiety into a single model. Practically, the study underscores the importance of fostering digital literacy and psychological resilience to mitigate technology-related anxiety in educational settings.

    A Systematic Review On Psychological Capital And Psychological Well-Being (1993-2023)

    Battal, Fetullah

    In the literature, many studies have been conducted on the terms of psychological capital and psychological well-being over the last thirty years. However, it has been observed that the interest in these concepts has increased today. Most of the studies have been obtained at the relational level or with quantitative methods. However, the number of studies in which the constructs of psychological capital and psychological wellbeing are examined systematically or qualitatively is quite limited. In this research, a systematic mapping was made for the relevant concepts using R and Rstudio programs together, with the help of data obtained from Wos. In this way, potential researchers will be capable of seeing the conditions of the relationship between psychological capital and psychological well-being in the last thirty years and will be able to have deeper and clearer information about the levels of related concepts. When we look at the most emphasised key concepts based on the analysis, it is sighted that keywords such as leadership, social capital, old age, hedonic wellbeing and good mood are at the forefront. When looking at niche areas of study, keywords such as climate change, adaptation, migration and innovation emerge. In other words, scientists doing research in the branches of administration and organisational or non-clinical psychology should look at graphs containing motor or basic concepts, if they want to do a deeper investigation and understand the subject in general. Based on these data, although the terms psychological capital and well-being are thought to be in the context of affirmative psychology, their relationship with the concepts that are popularly described as dark behaviours is also examined. By offering a systematic examination and guidance for the future, the data of the study adds something unique to the literature.

    The impact of surgical intervention on religious coping, psychological well-being, and pain levels in older adult patients: A quasi-experimental study

    Daştan, Buket; Kulakaç, Nurşen

    Aim: This study aimed to determine the impact of surgical intervention on religious coping, psychological well-being, and pain levels in older adult patients. Method: The data of the study, which used a one-group pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design without a control group, was collected between July 1, 2023, - January 30, 2024. Data collection involved the use of a Personal Information Form, the Religious Coping Scale, the Psychological Well-Being Scale, and the Visual Analog Scale. Results: The results revealed a significant increase in psychological well-being and positive religious coping after surgical intervention compared to presurgical levels (p < 0.001). Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that male gender, younger age, enhanced psychological well-being, and positive religious coping were identified as factors contributing to a reduction in postsurgical pain levels. Conclusion: The study's results indicate that surgical intervention serves as a significant variable influencing psychological well-being and religious coping among older adult patients.
