Öğe Exploring the Relationship between PMS Symptoms and Sexual Satisfaction and Personality Traits in Women Aged 18-35(Turkish Psychological Counseling and Guidance Association, 2025) Tekkuş Set, Zeynep; Gürbüz, SağraBackground: Menstruation affects women for approximately 30-35 years of their lifespan, recurring monthly and signalling fertility during the reproductive age. Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) presents a complex of physical and behavioural symptoms in the second half of the menstrual cycle, significantly impairing women's quality of life. It is reported that 40% of women in their reproductive years experience PMS, with symptoms such as bloating, anxiety, tension, episodes of crying, depression, and fatigue. Objective: This study investigates the correlation between personality traits and both PMS symptoms and sexual satisfaction among women aged 18-35. It also examines the influence of sociodemographic factors including age, marital status, economic condition, and education level on these relationships. Methods: Utilizing a convenience sampling approach, this research focuses on a sample of 150 women residing in Istanbul. The sampling strategy is designed to facilitate the most accessible selection of participants based on time and availability. Results: The findings suggest that personality traits are significant predictors of both Premenstrual Syndrome severity and levels of sexual satisfaction. Specifically, Neuroticism was identified as the most significant predictor, showing a strong positive association with the severity of PMS symptoms. Additionally, Neuroticism was positively associated with premenstrual symptoms like depressive affect, anxiety, fatigue, and irritability. On the other hand, Extraversion and Lying showed negative associations with both PMS severity and sexual satisfaction, with Extraversion emerging as the most significant predictor of lower sexual satisfaction. These results illuminate the intricate relationships between individual psychological characteristics, menstrual health, and sexual well-being. Conclusion: The study underscores the importance of considering personality traits and sociodemographic factors in understanding the experiences of PMS and sexual satisfaction among women. By highlighting the role of individual differences, this research contributes to a broader understanding of women's health and well-being during the reproductive years.Öğe Mimarlık Bölümü Birinci Sınıf Öğrencilerinin Görsel-Mekânsal Becerileri Üzerine Bir Araştırma(MIDDLE EAST TECHNICAL UNIV, MIDDLE EAST TECHNICAL UNIV, FAC ARCHITECTURE, INONU BULVARI, ANKARA, 06531, TURKEY, 2019) Acar, Aktan; Soysal Acar, Azime Şebnem; Ünver, ElifSpatial cognition and skills are of critical importance for architecture. During their education, architecture students are expected to use and develop visuospatial skills to generate/construct, retain, rotate, and manipulate space mentally and physically through physical and digital representations. This study was designed and conducted to fill the gap in researches on the first-year architecture students' spatial skill evaluated by means of neuropsychological tests. The goal of the study was to investigate the potential connections between the first architecture students' visuospatial skills and art training or education prior to the university education. 128 students participated to the research voluntarily. For visuospatial skills Raven Standard Progressive Matrices (RSPM) test was administrated. The findings demonstrated that first year architecture students' performances on neuropsychological tests assessing visuospatial skills were compatible with the norm scores and their cognitive development level. Participants with art training prior to university performed better in RSPM total, and RSPM subtest E. The results supported the previous studies claiming that art training and/or education have a positive impact on spatial cognition and visuospatial skills.
