Öğe Psikolojide Çevre ve İklim Değişikliği Sempozyumu Bildiri Özetleri Kitapçığı(Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart Üniversitesi, 2023) Kıral Uçar, Gözde; Hasta, Derya; Özdemir Planalı, Gamze; Akün Kaçar, Ebru; Kanık, Betül; Sarı, Erkin[No Abstract Available]Öğe II. Psikolojide Çevre ve İklim Değişikliği Çalışmaları Sempozyumu Bildiri Özetleri Kitapçığı(Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart Üniversitesi, 2025) Kıral Uçar, Gözde; Kanık, Betül; Sarı, Erkin; Özdemir Planalı, GamzeII. Psikolojide Çevre ve İklim Değişikliği Çalışmaları Sempozyumu, 23-24 KASIM 2024Öğe Neuroanatomical Correlates of Memory Strategies in Rats(Wiley, 2025) Balcı, Aysu; Cankurtaran, Buse Pınar; Akyel, Aybüke; Arıkan, Kutluk Bilge; Ünal, Bengi; Ünal, Çağrı TemuçinNavigation incorporates a continuum of strategies, where the allocentric strategy relies on relationships between environmental landmarks resulting in a cognitive map, and the egocentric strategy revolves around the body position and stimulus response chains with the body as a reference. Although multiple brain regions contribute to navigation, the hippocampus dominates allocentric navigation, whereas the striatum is key for egocentric navigation. Neuromodulators, such as dopamine and acetylcholine, regulate both the hippocampus and striatum to influence behavior, yet their influence on navigational strategy has not been determined. Interindividual differences in strategy preference are known to exist. Building on these pre-existing interindividual differences, this study explored the neuroanatomical underpinnings on navigational strategy variations in rats through a dual-solution T-maze and immunocytochemistry. Surprisingly, interindividual variations eluded explanation through the density of cholinergic neurons supplying acetylcholine to the hippocampus and striatum. Similarly, the soma morphologies of these neurons exhibited no discernible differences. Dopaminergic cell densities in the ventral tegmental area (VTA), projecting to the hippocampus, and substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc), projecting to the striatum, failed to account for individual variations as well. Nevertheless, allocentric rats displayed higher VTA/SNpc dopamine neuron fusiformity indexes, potentially contributing to computational distinctions underlying interindividual variations in navigation strategies. This study delves into potential explanations and charts promising avenues for future research. A graphical abstract summarizing the main findings of this study is provided.Öğe Erkeklerin Toplumsal Cinsiyet ve Şiddete İlişkin Örtük Çağrışımlarının Demografik Özellikler ve Adil Dünya İnancı Perspektifinden İncelenmesi(Sanat ve Dil Araştırmaları Enstitüsü, 2021) Planalı Özdemir, Gamze; Kıral Uçar, GözdeKadına yönelik şiddet gün geçtikçe daha fazla araştırmanın konusu haline gelmektedir. Fakat bu araştırmalar çoğunlukla açık tutumlar üzerine yoğunlaşmaktadır. Örtük bilişsel yapıya odaklanan çalışmalar ise üç örtük tutumun önemine işaret eder: toplumsal cinsiyete yönelik örtük tutumlar, şiddete yönelik örtük tutumlar ve toplumsal cinsiyet ile şiddet arasındaki örtük çağrışımlar. Bu çalışmada erkeklerin bu örtük tutumlarının yaş, eğitim, çalışma durumu, gelir ve sosyo-ekonomik statüyü içeren demografik özellikleri ve Adil Dünya İnancı (ADİ) ile ilişkisinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Örtük tutumları ölçmek için üç adet Örtük Çağrışım Testi (ÖÇT) Türkçeye çevrilerek kullanılmıştır. Araştırmaya, yaşları 18 ile 55 arasında değişen 202 erkek katılmıştır (Ort. = 27.96, S = 9.68). Bulgular, toplumsal cinsiyete ve şiddete yönelik örtük tutumların yaş ile ilişkili olduğunu, ancak diğer demografikler ile ilişkili olmadığını ortaya çıkarmıştır. Toplumsal cinsiyet ile şiddet arasındaki örtük çağrışımlar ise demografiklere göre farklılaşmazken, toplumsal cinsiyete yönelik örtük tutumlar ve Genel ADİ ile ilişkili bulunmuştur. Sonuçlar, kadına yönelik şiddetin toplumda normalleşmesi bağlamında değerlendirilmiştir. Kullanılan ÖÇT’lerin Türkiye’deki müdahale programlarına, demografik açıdan çeşitliliğe sahip bu örneklem ile elde edilen bulguların ise ilgili yazına katkı sağlayabileceği düşünülmektedir.Öğe Social dominance, hostile sexism and justifications: Examining attitudes towards wife abuse among Turkish men(Elsevier Ltd, 2021) Kıral Uçar, Gözde; Özdemir, GamzeThis study aims to determine the process through which social dominance orientation (SDO) tends to increase positive attitudes towards physical wife abuse among men. 211 adult men (aged between 18 and 65 years; Mage = 28.91; SD = 10.50) with different levels of education and various professions (e.g., students, teachers, engineers, doctors, workers, police officers) participated in the study. Measures of attitudes towards physical wife abuse and participants' levels of SDO, justifications and ambivalent sexism were assessed. Results revealed that, when controlled for age, education and economic level, SDO predicted positive attitudes towards physical wife abuse via both hostile sexism and justifications of physical wife abuse. That is, men who desire male dominance over women support sexist practices by accepting legitimizing myths that justify the inequality and hierarchy. Implications are discussed.Öğe Cognitive behavioral group therapy in juvenile delinquents in Turkey: Randomised controlled study(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2024) Yalçın, Melikenaz; Arıtürk, Seda; Arkar, Haluk[Anstract Not Available]Öğe Evaluate effectiveness of the resilience-based positive psychology program for university students(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2024) Eslek, Duygu; Yılmaz Irmak, Türkan[Anstract Not Available]Öğe Understanding the maze: Exploring the predictors of romantic relationship-focused OCD symptoms(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2024) Tunçel, Aslıhan; Arkar, Haluk[Anstract Not Available]Öğe Evaluate effectiveness of our lesson: Safe relationships child sexual abuse prevention program(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2024) Eslek, Duygu; Yılmaz Irmak, Türkan; Çanakkale, Bilge[Anstract Not Available]Öğe Examination of variables predicting university adjustment during COVID-19 in Turkey(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2024) Çanakkale, Bilge; Eslek, Duygu; Yılmaz Irmak, Türkan[Anstract Not Available]Öğe Navigating the unknown: Exploring the predictors of future anxiety in university students(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2024) Tunçel, Aslıhan; Yalçın, Melikenaz[Anstract Not Available]Öğe Attitudes towards Afghan refugees and immigrants in Turkey: A Twitter analysis(Elsevier, 2023) Uluğ, Özden Melis; Kanık, Betül; Tekin, Selin; Uyanık, Gurur Deniz; Solak, NevinData generated by social media platforms such as Twitter provide a unique opportunity to examine large-scale public communication produced spontaneously and in real-time, and consequently, contribute to comprehensively understanding the complex set of attitudes towards refugees. The present study utilises a qualitative approach to explore host members' attitudes towards refugees on social media during the global crisis. In particular, we examine perceptions of a broader population, Twitter users, and analyse public reactions towards Afghan refugees expressed within tweets during the pandemic in Turkey as a response to the 2021 Afghan refugee influx. We analysed and coded 2,686 tweets using qualitative content analysis based on four main categories: 1) Representations of Afghan refugees and immigrants, 2) main causes for rejecting them, 3) taking action against them and their supporters, and 4) positive attitudes towards them. Results highlighted the prevalence of negative perceptions about, dehumanisation of, and racism towards Afghan refugees in Turkey mainly due to perceived realistic, symbolic, demographic, security, moral, and health threats from them. However, the findings also showed there were positive, albeit very few, attitudes towards Afghan refugees in the form of solidarity, help and empathy. We discuss these findings in relation to the existing literature on host society members' attitudes towards refugees and immigrants and why we need to qualitatively examine these attitudes on social media.Öğe The association of spontaneous self-affirmation with relationship functioning(Springer, 2024) Kaynak Malatyalı, Meryem; van Koningsbruggen, Guido M.In this study, we aimed to investigate whether spontaneous self-affirmation is associated with better functioning in romantic relationships. For this aim, we conducted a pre-registered study with 335 participants (168 women, 164 men, one trans woman, one non-binary, and one genderqueer woman) cohabiting with their partner for at least one year. Participants responded to scales measuring spontaneous self-affirmation, relationship satisfaction, commitment, intimacy, conflict frequency, conflict resolution styles, and attachment anxiety and avoidance. Results indicated that spontaneous self-affirmation is significantly related to relationship satisfaction, commitment, intimacy, and constructive conflict resolution style of positive problem solving but not conflict frequency and destructive conflict resolution styles (i.e., conflict engagement, withdrawal, and compliance) after controlling for age, education, financial status, and the number of children. Results also showed that spontaneous self-affirmation is associated with relationship satisfaction (but no other indicators of relationship functioning) after controlling for the attachment dimensions of anxiety and avoidance. These results provide the first evidence indicating that spontaneous self-affirmation could be a potential resource for a satisfying relationship but its shared variance with attachment is mostly responsible for its association with relationship functioning indicators.Öğe Cross-cultural generalisability of the belief in a just world: Factor analytic and psychometric evidence from six countries(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2023) Bartholomaeus, Jonathan; Kıral Uçar, Gözde; Donat, Matthias; Nartova-Bochaver, Sofya; Thomas, KendraThe belief in a just world (BJW) is theorised to be a universal personality disposition. In this study we contrast this notion with that of Justice Capital, which suggests that BJW varies based on the individual's justice expe-rience. We achieve this comparison via a psychometric analysis of the BJW scales across cultural and de-mographic groups. Invariance; equivalence of reliability metrics; differences in latent means; and consistency in construct validity-differential associations with perceived control, hopelessness, and optimism-were analysed across Germany, Russia, Australia, Brazil, Turkey, the USA, sex, age, income type, and economic status (n = 1250). Findings provide support for both the universality and malleability of BJW. We discuss how these findings advance BJW theorising and their important implications for BJW measurement.Öğe Investigations of motor performance with neuromodulation and exoskeleton using leader-follower modality: a tDCS study(Springer, 2024) Okasha, Amr; Sengezer, Saba; Kılınç, Hasan; Pourreza, Elmira; Fincan, Ceren; Yılmaz, Tunahan; Boran, Hürrem E.; Çağrı, Ünal; Ünal, BengiThis study investigates how the combination of robot-mediated haptic interaction and cerebellar neuromodulation can improve task performance and promote motor skill development in healthy individuals using a robotic exoskeleton worn on the index finger. The authors propose a leader-follower type of mirror game where participants can follow a leader in a two-dimensional virtual reality environment while the exoskeleton tracks the index finger motion using an admittance filter. The game requires two primary learning phases: the initial phase focuses on mastering the pinching interface, while the second phase centers on predicting the leader's movements. Cerebral transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) with anodal polarity is applied to the subjects during the game. It is shown that the subjects' performance improves as they play the game. The combination of tDCS with finger exoskeleton significantly enhances task performance. Our research indicates that modulation of the cerebellum during the mirror game improves the motor skills of healthy individuals. The results also indicate potential uses for motor neurorehabilitation in hemiplegia patients.Öğe Social identities, climate change denial, and efficacy beliefs as predictors of pro-environmental engagements(Academic Press Ltd- Elsevier Science Ltd, 2023) Kıral Uçar, Gözde; Gezici Yalçın, Meral; Özdemir Planalı, Gamze; Reese, GerhardClimate change is a large-scale environmental crisis humanity faces. However, research shows that a considerable amount of people deny climate change. In this research, we suggest a social identity perspective on how climate change denial may exert its effects on pro-environmental engagements. To do so, we conducted a crosssectional survey (N = 361) in which we assessed different (social) identities, efficacy beliefs, climate change denial, and pro-environmental actions. Results suggest that while environmentalist and global identities significantly predicted climate change denial, country identity did not. Environmentalist and country identities predicted collective efficacy, however, only environmentalist identity predicted participatory efficacy. Private pro-environmental behaviour was positively predicted by environmentalist and country identities; participation in collective action was positively predicted by environmentalist identity and negatively predicted by country identity. In addition, identification with environmentalist and global identities was positively associated with collective action through climate change denial and also participatory efficacy belief. These findings suggest that our consideration of climate change and behavioural choices might be shaped by our social environment.Öğe Personality and pro-environmental engagements: The role of the Dark Triad, the Light Triad, and value orientations(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2023) Kıral Uçar, Gözde; Kaynak Malatyalı, Meryem; Özdemir Planalı, Gamze; Kanık, BetülThis study aims to investigate the associations between the Dark Triad personality (DTP), the Light Triad personality (LTP), and pro-environmental behavior (PEB), and the mediating roles of value orientations (biospheric, egoistic, and altruistic values) in these relationships. A total of 312 individuals aged between 18 and 56 (M = 27.45; SD = 9.32) participated in this study. Path analysis showed that DTP was associated with an increase in the egoistic and with a decrease in the altruistic and biospheric value orientations. Additionally, LTP was associated with increased altruistic and biospheric value orientations. Last, LTP and DTP predicted proenvironmental behavioral intentions and past PEB via biospheric value orientation. Implications are discussed.Öğe Feelings of fraud among women in Turkey: Prevalence and demographic risk factors of the Impostor Phenomenon(Klinik Psikoloji Araştırmaları Derneği, 2024) Özdemir Planalı, GamzeThe Impostor Phenomenon is defined as the inability of individuals to internalize their achievements, believing they are fraudulent. The first aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of the Impostor Phenomenon in women in Turkey. The second aim of the present study is to describe the demographic risk factors of the Impostor Phenomenon. A total of 677 women who work or are undergraduate/graduate students in one of Turkey's four metropolitan cities (Ankara, Bursa, Istanbul, and Izmir) participated in the research. The data were collected online using the snowball technique. The ages of the participants ranged from 18 to 65 years (Mage = 31.36, SD = 9.67). The Clance Impostor Phenomenon Scale was used to measure the Impostor Phenomenon, and the Demographic Information Form was used to collect demographic characteristics. The findings showed that 65.73% of the participants had feelings of fraud at least at a moderate level. About 3% of them suffered from the Impostor Phenomenon intensely. In addition, it was found that the Impostor Phenomenon increased as age and duration of occupation decreased. When age was controlled for, it was revealed that low socio-economic status, postgraduate studentship, and postgraduate degree were associated with increased Impostor Phenomenon levels. These findings are discussed in light of the literature on the Impostor Phenomenon and mental health.Öğe Current directions in laboratory experiments in the social sciences(IGI Global, 2024) Ünal, BengiSocial scientific disciplines such as psychology, sociology, political science, and economics have been rampantly utilizing experimental designs in the last decades. However, the pace of adoption of experimental methods followed historically different trends in these disciplines. This chapter discusses the strength of experimentation in social sciences in drawing cause and effect relationships between studied phenomena and highlights ethical issues that deserve detailed consideration while getting ready for experimental studies. The chapter particularly focuses on laboratory experiments and discusses recent examples of laboratory experiments in these disciplines.Öğe Cognitive Behavioral Group Therapy for Anger Management in Juvenile Delinquents: Effectiveness Study in a Turkey Child Prison(SAGE Publications Inc., 2023) Yalçın, Melikenaz; Arıtürk, Seda; Görgü Akçay, Nimet Serap; Tekinsav Sütçü, SerapThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral group therapy (CBGT) for anger management in Juvenile Delinquents. The therapy program consisted of eight sessions including relaxation, self-instruction, cognitive restructuring, and assertiveness training techniques. The therapy program has been conducted for juvenile delinquents in one of the juvenile prisons in Turkey. Sixty juvenile delinquents, aged between 14 and 18, who met the inclusion criteria (treatment = 30, control = 30), were included at the beginning of the study. To evaluate the effectiveness of the program, State Trait Anger and Expression Inventory (STAXI), and Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI) were administered as pre-test. At the end of the therapy program, final analysis was conducted on 35 participants (20 therapy group, 15 control group) due to participants dropout. Mixed ANOVA was conducted to examine the time (pre-test and post-test) and group effects (therapy and control group). Results showed that the participants in the therapy group showed a significant decrease in trait anger and anger expression scores, both subscales of STAXI and in the hostility subscale of BSI; a statistically significant increase in the anger control scores of the subscale of STAXI when compared to the control group. In conclusion, this culturally attuned CBGT for anger management may be applicable for Juvenile Delinquents in Turkey.
