Daily external stress, internal stress, dyadic coping, and relationship functioning of Turkish couples during the COVID-19: A daily diary study.

Stressors arising from the current COVID-19 pandemic have pernicious effects on relational functioning. However, the systemic transactional model (STM) addresses the buffering role of dyadic coping in couples' relationships. Therefore, the current study aimed to examine the possible buffering role of dyadic coping and investigate the negative consequences of external stressors related to the COVID-19 pandemic and internal stressors on relationship satisfaction and intimacy on within- and between-person levels.

Mechanical Stability and Energy Gap Evolution in Cs-Based Ag, Bi Halide Double Perovskites under High Pressure: A Theoretical DFT Approach.

Due to their intrinsic stability and reduced toxicity, lead-free halide double perovskite semiconductors have become potential alternatives to lead-based perovskites. In the present study, we used density functional theory simulations to investigate the mechanical stability and band gap evolution of double perovskites CsAgBiX (X = Cl and Br) under an applied pressure. To investigate the pressure-dependent properties, the hydrostatic pressure induced was in the range of 0-100 GPa.

A comparison of metacognitive factors among patients with cancer and the control group.

Objective: Research examining the relationship between metacognitions and cancer has only recently begun to emerge. This study attempted to compare the metacognitions of the patients with and without cancer. The effects of stage of cancer, type of cancer, and treatment modality (chemotherapy, radiotherapy, operation) on metacognitions were investigated.

[Professional Development Processes of Trainee and Experienced Psychotherapists in Turkey].

Objective: This study explored professional characteristics of psychotherapists in Turkey, examined the changes in their professional developmental processes, and compared the professional characteristics of the trainees and experienced therapists.

Methods: The participants were 88 psychotherapists, including trainee (N=37) and experienced (N=51) psychotherapists in Turkey. They completed the Development of Psychotherapists International Study-Common Core Questionnaire (DPCCQ), developed by the Collaborative Research Network.
