Özet:

 Self-disgust is defined as feeling disgust towards ones own behavior, body, or self. Disgusting a characteristic important for ones self-concept is previously found to be associated with a wide range of problems including depression, eating disorders, body dysmorphic disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, suicide, self-harm, and borderline personality disorder. In the present study, 74 entries about self-disgust that were posted on Sourtimes Dictionary were subjected to thematic content analysis. First, three broad themes emerged regarding the dimensions of self-disgust, the triggers of self-disgust, and behaviors, cognitions, and emotions associated with self-disgust. Dimensions include disgust towards ones behavior, body, or self. Triggers of self-disgust consist of issues related to body, sexual behavior, eating, and ones relationship with the self and others. Finally, it is observed that self-disgust is associated with judgmental attitudes towards the self, which might in turn lead to depressive mood, anger, and unloving oneself. These results corroborate previous findings arguing that self-disgust might be a risk factor for various psychological disorders, in which body image, sexual behaviors, interpersonal relationships, and attitudes towards oneself play a crucial role. On the other hand, some of the posts mentioned self-acceptance, to down-regulate self-disgust. Considering that self-disgust is associated with the motivation for rejection, while self-disgust might increase the risk of psychological disorders, self-acceptance might be an important buffer. Further research that focuses on self-disgust in diverse samples and in the context of various psychological disorders and psychotherapy will enhance our understanding of the effects of self-disgust and how it should be treated.

 Öz-tiksinme, kişinin davranışına, bedenine ya da benliğine yönelik tiksinme hissetmesi olarak tanımlanır. Araştırmalar kişinin benlik kavramı açısından önemli olan bir özelliğine yönelik tiksinme hissetmesinin depresyon, yeme bozuklukları, beden dismorfik bozukluk, travma sonrası stres bozukluğu, intihar, kendine zarar verme ve sınırda borderline kişilik bozukluğu gibi oldukça geniş bir yelpazede psikolojik rahatsızlıklarla olan ilişkisine dikkat çekmektedir. Bu çalışmada Türkiyede sosyal medya kullanıcılarının öz-tiksinme deneyimini içeren yaşantılarının anlaşılması amacıyla Ekşi Sözlük platformunda yer alan, öz-tiksinme ile ilgili 74 girdi tematik içerik analizi yöntemiyle incelenmiştir. İlk aşamada, öz-tiksinmenin boyutları, öz-tiksinmeyi tetikleyen durumlar ve öz-tiksinme ile ilişkili duygu, düşünce ve davranışlar olmak üzere üç genel tema belirlenmiştir. Öz-tiksinmenin boyutları, davranıştan, bedenden ve benlikten tiksinmeye işaret etmektedir. Öz-tiksinmeyi tetikleyen durumlar beden, cinsellik, yemek yeme davranışı ve kişinin kendisiyle ve başkalarıyla kurduğu ilişkilerle ilgilidir. Son olarak, öz-tiksinmeye depresif duygu durum, öfke ve kendini sevmeme gibi duygu ve düşüncelerim eşlik edebildiği görülmüştür. Bulgular öz-tiksinmenin çeşitli psikolojik rahatsızlıklar için yatkınlık oluşturduğunu öne süren literatür çerçevesinde düşünüldüğünde ayrıca önemlidir. Buna göre özellikle beden imajı, cinsel davranış, kişiler arası ilişkiler ve kişinin kendisine yönelik tutumlarının rol oynadığı psikolojik rahatsızlıklarda öz-tiksinmenin yatkınlık oluşturabileceği düşünülmektedir. Öte yandan, öz-tiksinme duygusunun düzenlenmesine değinilen girdilerde kişinin kendini kabul etmesinden söz edilmesi dikkat çekicidir. Öz-tiksinmenin reddetme motivasyonu ile ilişkisi göz önüne alındığında, kişinin kendisine yönelik reddedici tutumlarının psikolojik rahatsızlıklara yönelttiği, kişinin kendisine yönelik kabul edici yaklaşımının ise tampon görevi görebileceği düşünülmektedir. Gelecek araştırmaların, öz-tiksinmenin farklı örneklemler, çeşitli psikolojik rahatsızlıklar ve psikoterapi bağlamında incelemesi, bu duygunun etkilerini ve nasıl müdahale edilmesi gerektiğini anlamamıza önemli katkılar sunacaktır.
