The present study aimed to explore the mediating role of depression in the relationship between subjective social status (SSS) and compulsive shopping behavior (CSB) and whether self-compassion (SC) played a moderating role in this model. The study was designed based on the cross-sectional method. The final sample includes 664 Vietnamese adults (M_age = 21.95, SD = 5.681 years). Participants completed an online survey, including questionnaires about SSS, CSB, depression, SC, and basic demographic information. First, the study results showed that SSS did not directly affect CSB (p > .05, 95% CI includes zero). Second, a mediating role of depression and a moderating role of SC in the research model was discovered (p < .001, 95% CI does not contain zero). Results indicated that individuals with a higher SSS experienced lower depression. Moreover, during a depressive episode, having a higher level of SC increases CSB. The study highlighted meaningful recommendations to promote consumers' mental health and healthy shopping behaviors.

This study examines the intermediary role of rumination in the relationship between childhood traumas in young adults and cognitive defusion, psychological acceptance, and suppression which is one of the emotion regulation strategies. In the quantitative stage of the study formed according to the explanatory sequential design, the intermediary role of rumination by using a structural equation model while in the qualitative stage, the intermediary role of rumination was analyzed through interviews using the interpretive phenomenology design. Personal Information Form, Childhood Trauma Scale, Short Form Ruminative Response Scale, Acceptance and Action Form II, Drexel Defusion Scale, and Emotion Regulation Scale were used in the research. At the end of the research, it was determined that childhood traumas have a negative effect on cognitive defusion and acceptance, while they have a positive effect on suppression. It was seen that rumination has a partial intermediary role in the relationship of childhood traumas with cognitive defusion, acceptance, and suppression. As a result of the qualitative analysis, twelve themes such as "Constantly thinking about the past, not being able to move away from childhood traumas, not being able to forgive their parents, inability to get rid of negative thoughts, living in the past, moving away from a value-driven life, false expression of emotion, suppression of emotions, emotions reflected in behavior, coping with negative emotions and desired emotion regulation" emerged concerning participants' experiences of cognitive defusion, acceptance, and suppression. Although one of the purposes of using AAQ-II in the study was to support discussions about the scale via qualitative results, this was a limitation for the study. Therefore, although a high rate was obtained, it is not possible to infer that childhood traumas and rumination can explain acceptance behaviors. For this, much more quantitative and qualitative studies are needed. Other qualitative research findings are thought to support quantitative research findings.

This pilot study aims to analyze the effects of the presence and absence of initial in-person contact and written feedback in RE&CBT e-supervision, comparing it on the Supervisory Working Alliance Inventory, the Supervisor Satisfaction Questionnaire, and the Trainee Disclosure Scale. During a period of six months, five supervisees performed ten e-supervision divided into two groups, a control group that did only the initial meetings in-person and an experimental group in which two supervisees completed whole process online. Additionally, in the first five e-supervision, the supervisor reviewed an entire session with written feedback with an additional meeting for each group. In the last five e-supervision, the supervisor only partially reviewed client sessions during supervision. After ten e-supervision, an individual post-interview was conducted with each participant. This study's primary statistical method for calculating and combining effect sizes was Tarlow Baseline Corrected Tau and Open Meta Analyst software. Both groups scored above average on the first two scales, but the disclosure scale had highly irregular and inconsistent patterns. The combined qualitative and quantitative results suggest that novice therapists generally prefer to have their entire sessions reviewed with written feedback and that a single in-person contact is unlikely to influence e-supervision satisfaction and working alliance. Given that there are no adequately validated e-supervision models, this pilot study used a pilot model named Supported Model of Electronic Supervision (SMeS). This model showed potential, but it needs further testing on a larger sample with more clearly operationalized steps. This study experimentally supports the effectiveness of RE&CBT supervision for the first time.

The present study proposes a contextual specific, short measure of irrational and rational beliefs in order to provide a methodologically rigorous investigation of the REBT theoretical model. The COVID-19 Pandemic- Related Irrational and Rational Beliefs Scale was developed according with the REBT theory including rationally and irrationally worded items for each of the four cognitive processes. The data were collected online via google forms between March and June 2020, the sample comprised 798 individuals. A series of confirmatory factor analysis was conducted to investigate the factor structure of the scale. A total of seven measurement models representing different hypotheses about the structural relationship between the 32 items were estimated. Among the seven competing models, the eight-factor bifactor model comprising eight cognitive processes of irrational and rational beliefs factors and a general factor showed the best trade-of between model fit and complexity among all models. This model is congruent with the current theoretical formulation of REBT. The irrational cognitive processes themselves were highly correlated and the rational cognitive processes were moderately to highly correlate with each other. The concurrent validity was investigated and the results supported the validity of the instrument. Implications for research and clinical practice are discussed.
