    Perceived threat, compassion, and public evaluations toward refugees
    (WILEY, 2024) Erişen, Cengiz; Department of International Relations; Uysal, Duygu Merve; Department of International Relations; College of Social Sciences and Humanities
    Scholarly research on emotions tackles various domains, among which opposition to immigration ranks as socially and politically critical. While earlier literature captures distinct aspects of this domain, certain emotions are less studied than others, primarily compassion. By focusing on the unique role of compassion in comparison with anger and anxiety, we tackle how and under which conditions compassion changes social distancing and political preferences regarding refugees. Drawing on representative data collected in Turkey-the country with the highest number of Syrian refugees-we test whether feelings of compassion toward refugees can hold back the escalation in opposition to immigration as a result of heightened threat. Our results show that compassion functions as the key to lowering the negative effects of perceived threat in shaping refugees' social and political integration.

    Too perfectionist to flow: the roles of perfectionistic strivings and perfectionistic concerns for flow in dance
    (Springer, 2022) N/A; Department of International Relations; Arslan, İlayda; Atalay, Ayşe Altan; Master Student; Teaching Faculty; Department of International Relations; Graduate School of Social Sciences and Humanities; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; N/A; 205807
    Flow refers to a state during when the person feels the merging of action and awareness while having a complete concentration on the task and an increased sense of control. Previous studies indicated flow to be associated with both trait-based factors and task characteristics. Contributing to the previous research on the association between perfectionism and flow, we examine the interactive effects of perfectionistic strivings and perfectionistic concerns on dispositional flow in dance, which is an activity conducive to flow. in an online survey study, we collected data from 161 individuals (113 female), Aged between 18 and 56 (M = 29.52, SD = 8.41), who actively engage in dance for professional or recreational purposes. Our results show that there is a significant interactive effect of perfectionistic strivings and perfectionistic concerns on dispositional flow, such that perfectionistic concerns is associated with lower levels of dispositional flow when perfectionistic strivings is low but not when it is high. these findings imply that in the absence of perfectionistic standards, experiencing significant concerns about how one is doing seems to be associated with a significant difficulty in experiencing flow while dancing. Importantly, the results highlight the specific role of setting goals for the self as a characteristic that has significant associations with the optimal experience in dance setting.

    Deviation from balanced time perspective and psychological distress: the mediating roles of cognitive fusion and experiential avoidance

    the study of Time has a long history, dating back to the earliest days of psychological science in the late 1800s. However, the conceptualization of time perspective has led to a better understanding of individuals' healthy and pathological attitudes toward time dimensions. Similarly, Articulated psychological inflexibility components (i.e., Experiential avoidance (Ea) and Cognitive Fusion (CF)) have been found to have solid links with psychopathology, specifically psychological distress. the purpose of this study was to examine the serial mediating functions of Ea and CF in the association between Deviation from Balanced Time Perspective (DBTP) and Depression and anxiety symptoms. also, A reversed model of serial mediation was tested. a total of 203 participants (155 female) aged between 17-73 (M = 28.45, SD = 11.43) completed measures of time perspective, CF, Ea, Anxiety, and depression. CF and Ea functioned as mediators between DBTP and depressioN/Anxiety in the first mediation model. However, in the reversed model, only the mediation effect for depression was observed. these results emphasize the need for tailoring treatments to the requirements of patients struggling with anxiety and depression symptoms, who may be more susceptible to imbalanced time perspectives and time-entrapped cognitive processes.
