Tell me more: relationships between fear of missing out, distress and flourishing. A study in 21 countries
(Springer, 2025-05) Błachnio, Agata; Przepiórka, Aneta; Gorbaniuk, Oleg; Şenol Durak, Emre; 122944
The desire to stay informed about others' activities and the aversion to missing information shared on social media have become increasingly prominent in contemporary society. This study aimed to investigate the mediating role of personal characteristics in the relationship between Fear of Missing Out (FoMO), psychological distress, and flourishing. A sample of 6,403 participants (65.6% female; M = 25.92, SD = 9.78) was recruited from 21 countries, including Belarus, Brazil, China, Croatia, Ecuador, India, Israel, Italy, Mexico, the Netherlands, Pakistan, Poland, Portugal, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Turkey, the UK, Ukraine, and the USA. The study employed several validated instruments, including the Fear of Missing Out Scale (FoMOs), the Self-Esteem Scale (SES), the Brief Self-Control Scale, the Loneliness Scale, the Relationship Assessment Scale, the Flourishing Scale, and Kessler's K6. Both positive and negative models of the relationship between FoMO, distress, and flourishing were tested, and path analyses were conducted to explore the mediating roles of self-control, loneliness, self-esteem, and satisfaction with relationships in the associations between FoMO, distress, and flourishing. The results revealed that the relationship between FoMO and distress was mediated by self-control and loneliness, while the association between FoMO and flourishing was mediated by self-esteem and satisfaction with relationships. These findings suggest a dual nature of FoMO: while the desire to stay informed may contribute positively to well-being, it is also linked to negative emotions, such as fear. The results are discussed within the context of existing literature, with consideration of their potential clinical implications.

The Weight of Trauma in Philip Ridley’s Play; Leaves of Glass
(Zenodo, 2025-04) Mustafa, Esma; 392828
Philip Ridley’s Leaves of Glass (2007) examines the psychological effects of trauma and its lasting impact on identity and relationships. The play centers on two brothers, Stephen and Barry, as they navigate the emotional aftermath of their father’s sudden death. This paper examines how unresolved grief influences their struggles, analyzing their fractured identities and recurring behaviors through Freudian psychoanalysis and Cathy Caruth’s trauma theory. Stephen, burdened by volatile emotions, and Barry, marked by emotional disconnection, embody different responses to their shared trauma, reflecting the challenges of processing loss. Ridley’s portrayal of trauma as a persistent and disruptive force highlights its capacity to fracture lives and strain relationships. The narrative underscores the cyclical nature of grief and its influence on personal and interpersonal dynamics. Ultimately, Leaves of Glass offers a profound commentary on the difficulties of healing, emphasizing the resilience required to confront and understand deeply ingrained emotional wounds.

Dynamics of Wheat Production In Early Republican Türkiye (1925–1960)
(AVAZ Akademik Düşünce Derneği, 2025-05) Canbay, Şerif; Şengül, Serkan; 278780; 355807
This study aims to analyze the socioeconomic and energy-based factors determining wheat production in Türkiye between 1925 and 1960 using econometric methodology. In the early Republican period, the agricultural sector was structured as one of the main axes of economic development, and wheat, as a strategic crop, was at the center of both production policies and support mechanisms. In this study, wheat production is explained by variables such as per capita income level, number of students enrolled in primary school, electricity production and crude oil price, and the ARDL bounds test approach is used in the model established with annual data. The findings reveal that electricity generation and economic growth support production in the long run, whereas the education indicator has a limiting effect on production. The lagged effects of oil prices, on the other hand, indicate that cost pressures have negative effects on production over time. Short-run analyses reveal that the effects of variables vary over time and that production decisions are affected not only by technical but also by structural transformation processes. The study provides a historical data-based contribution to explain the multidimensional structure of agricultural production in the first 35 years of the Republic.

Mint ülkelerinde tüketici fiyat endeksi ve cari işlemler dengesinin döviz kuru üzerindeki nedensellik etkisi
(ISARC, 2025-05) Canbay, Şerif; Özdilek Kırca, Elveda; 278780; Çelik, Ahmet; Akhter, Naseem; Şen Elkoca, Candan
Bu çalışmada, 1990-2022 dönemine ait yıllık veriler kullanılarak MINT (Meksika, Endonezya, Nijerya ve Türkiye) ülkelerinde tüketici fiyat endeksi (enflasyon) ve cari işlemler dengesinin döviz kuru üzerindeki nedensellik ilişkileri incelenmiştir. Analizde Kónya (2006) Bootstrap Panel Granger Nedensellik yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen bulgulara göre, Endonezya, Meksika ve Nijerya için cari işlemler açığından döviz kuruna doğru negatif yönde anlamlı bir nedensellik saptanmıştır. Aynı ülkelerde enflasyon oranlarından döviz kuruna doğru pozitif yönlü bir nedensellik ilişkisi de gözlemlenmiştir. Bu durum, söz konusu ülkelerde hem dış dengesizliklerin hem de fiyat istikrarsızlıklarının döviz kuru dinamiklerini belirlemede etkili olduğunu göstermektedir. Buna karşılık Türkiye için hem enflasyonun hem de cari işlemler dengesinin döviz kuru üzerinde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir nedensellik ilişkisi bulunmamıştır.

The Dynamics of Energy Import Dependence in the Baltic States
(Düzce University, 2025-04) Şengül, Serkan; 355807
This study investigates the determinants of energy import dependency in the Baltic states (Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania) using panel data from 1995 to 2021. Employing panel ARDL and FMOLS methods, the analysis identifies long-term relationships between energy import dependency and key factors such as renewable energy consumption, trade, carbon intensity, industrial competitiveness, and export quality. Findings reveal that while renewable energy use and high export quality reduce dependency, carbon intensity and industrialization increase it. These results highlight the Baltic states' transition towards energy independence, contributing to discussions on regional energy security, sustainability, and European integration within the framework of SDG-7.
