Objective: Findings from various studies in animal models and humans have demonstrated a clear role of neuropeptide oxytocin (OT) on complex social behaviors. Oxytocin is known to mediate social interactions, and as a result, it has been investigated in a number of psychiatric disorders. This study aims to explore the link between aggression and empathy and OT levels in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Methods: Thirty-two male ASD patients, ranging in age from 8 to 15 years, and 30 healthy age – and sex-matched controls were included in this study. All patients were assessed with the Kiddie Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia for School-Age Children-Present and Lifetime version-Turkish version (K-SADS-PL), the Reading the Mind in the Eyes Test (RMET) and Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS). The patients’ and the healthy controls’ parents filled out the Abnormal/Aberrant Behavior Checklist (ABC), Children’s Aggression Scale-Parent Version (CAS-P) and Griffith Empathy Measure-Parent Evaluation Form (GEM-PEF). Serum OT levels of the groups were compared. Results: Higher serum OT levels were observed in ASD cases compared to the healthy controls. There was no significant difference between the groups’ OT levels (p=0.155). When the RMET and the GEM-PEF scores were compared among the groups both; RMET scores and GEM- PEF scores of children in the ASD group were statistically significantly lower (p <0.001) than the control group. No significant difference in CAS-P mean scores was identified between the groups. In both groups, there was no correlation between aggression and empathy levels and serum OT levels. Conclusion: In our study, serum OT levels and aggressive behaviors did not significantly differ between the groups. We detected statistically lower empathy scores in patients with ASD. However, we did not find a relationship between serum OT levels and aggressive behaviors and empathy skills. In order to determine the relationship between serum OT level and aggressive behaviors and empathy skills, and to generalize the findings, population-based, series of studies with larger samples are needed.

Objective: Hikikomori, a form of severe and long-term social withdrawal, known to cause the waste of work force in society and the decrease in performance, has recently been accepted as a psychiatric disorder. After realizing the lack of assessment instruments related to this syndrome, the 25-item Hikikomori Questionnaire (HQ-25) was developed by the researchers. The aim of the study is to examine the HQ-25’s adaptation to the Turkish language, its validity and reliability. Methods: The sample consists of 343 healthy participants who are not suffering from any mental or physical illnesses. HQ-25, Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), UCLA Loneliness Scale, and Preference for Solitude Scale (PSS) have been used. Results: The average age of the participants was 33.15±13.56 years and 46.0% (n=159) of the participants were female. The value of Cronbach’s alpha is 0.91, in the internal consistency reliability assessment of the questionnaire. According to the Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), the questionnaire had three sub-scales: “Socialization”, “Isolation” and “Emotional Support” (Variance description:55.67%, Kaiser-Meier-Olkin Value:0.923). The Confirmatory Factor Analysis (DFA) Assessment found that the original 3-Factor Structure of the scale was supported. It is seen that the total scale and subscale correlations are between 0.47 to 0.93. HQ-25’s correlation coefficient with MSPSS, UCLA Loneliness Scale, and PSS has been calculated as r>0.30. Conclusion: HQ-25 is a new potential self-report instrument that might help assess social isolation. As a result of our study, it has been seen that HQ-25 might be safely used in academic studies and clinical practice to assess social isolation.

Objective: Misophonia is a new term and studies on misophonia continue to increase. Amsterdam Misophonia Scale was developed to detect misophonia in 2013. This study aims to validate Amsterdam Misophonia Scale (A-MISO-S) into Turkish and detect prevalence in the young population.Methods: The data of this study were collected from a total of 1188 high school and university students. Ethical permissions were obtained. Turkish version of A-MISO-S and socio-demographic questionnaire was applied online. Results: Anxiety disorder was the most common accompanying psychiatric disease to misophonia. Mouth smacking/eating sounds was most disturbing sound for the participants. Moderate or more severe misophonia symptoms were seen in 13.8% of participants. To be of older age (18≥), female and to have another known psychiatric disorders were related with a higher score of A-MISO-S than others group compared. “Self-reactions, external reactions, loss of function, having no trouble, psychological and physical symptoms” are the themes given to the question of what is the worst thing that can happen if misophonic sounds are unavoidable. Conclusion: The Turkish version of A-MISO-S was found to be valid and reliable in the population over 15 years of age. The prevalence of misophonia was found to be similar to previous studies. Misophonia is a newly emerging, relatively neglected issue in the field of psychiatry. This study is the first study to compare adolescent and adult groups in terms of misophonia.

Objective: The objective of the study is to examine the association of probable attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) with the increase in video gaming and the severity of disordered gaming symptoms among young adults during the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions. The second objective was to examine the mediating role of COVID-19 related dysfunctional anxiety and current age. Methods: The Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS-v1.1), the nine-item Internet Gaming Disorder Scale- Short Form (IGDS9-SF), and the Coronavirus Anxiety Scale (CAS) were used to evaluate university students. Results: Participants with probable ADHD (n=117, 21.2%) did not differ in terms of age, gender, romantic relationship, employment status, and time spent on the gaming when compared with participants without probable ADHD (n=441, 79.0%). However, they had a higher rate of problems related to gaming, diagnosis of anxiety disorder before the COVID-19 pandemic and higher scale scores (IGDS9-SF and CAS). In the hierarchical logistic regression analysis, probable ADHD predicted the increase in video gaming during the pandemic, but when the current age and the dysfunctional anxiety related with COVID-19 were included in the analysis, they were significant predictors, whereas probable ADHD was no more a predictor. While probable ADHD was associated with the symptom severity of disordered gaming in ANCOVA, COVID-19 related dysfunctional anxiety was a significant covariate. Conclusion: Findings of the current study may suggest that the relationship between probable ADHD and the increase in video gaming during the pandemic was mediated by lower age and COVID-19 related dysfunctional anxiety among young adults. Additionally, while COVID-19 related dysfunctional anxiety was a significant covariate for the severity of disordered gaming symptoms, probable ADHD was independently associated with the symptom severity of disordered gaming.
