Item Metadata only The role of socioeconomic adversity and armed conflict in executive function, theory of mind and empathy in children(Springer Nature, 2023) 0000-0001-9992-5174; Kara, B; Department of Psychology; Selçuk, Bilge; Faculty Member; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; 52913This study investigates the role of socioeconomic adversity and armed conflict in executive function (EF), theory of mind (ToM) and empathy in a rarely studied group, children living in eastern Turkey. The data were collected from 115 children (60 girls) aged 39 to 95 months (M = 68.22, SD = 14.62). Results revealed that children’s performance was low in the EF and ToM tasks, and high in the empathy task. In path analysis, controlling for age, armed conflict experience predicted lower EF (β = − 0.15) and higher empathy (β = 0.21), and socioeconomic adversity predicted lower ToM (β = 0.20). These findings contribute to our knowledge on cognitive and emotional development of children who live in such disadvantaged contexts. © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.Item Metadata only The cultural self-construals and the romantic relationship experiences of Turkish young adults(Routledge Journals, Taylor and Francis Ltd, 2023) 0000-0003-3507-1290; 0000-0002-7546-9802; Department of Psychology; N/A; Erdem, Gizem; Safi, Ommay Aiman; Faculty Member; PhD Student; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; Graduate School of Social Sciences and Humanities; 222027; N/AThe capacity to form and maintain committed romantic relationships is a key aspect of young adulthood. Yet, little is known about the role of cultural factors, in particular cultural self-construal, and their links to romantic relationships. The goal of the current study was to examine the cultural concepts of autonomous and related self-construal as defined by Kagitcibasi's Family Change Theory and their association with the quality and satisfaction of non-marital romantic relationships. The sample included 621 Turkish young adults (74.4% female, 83.7% undergraduate students, ages 18-25) who were currently in an exclusive and heterosexual romantic relationship for at least three months. Participants completed informed consent and a 15-minute online survey through Qualtrics. Hierarchical linear regression analysis indicated that autonomy self-construal was positively associated with relationship quality and satisfaction, while relatedness self-construal was linked to relationship quality but not satisfaction. Additionally, high levels of commitment significantly predicted better relationship outcomes. The findings suggest a need to explore cultural self-construal and relationship outcomes across cultures.Item Metadata only Deviation from balanced time perspective and psychological distress: The mediating roles of cognitive fusion and experiential avoidance(Springer, 2023) 0000-0002-2923-5829; 0000-0001-9748-2517; 0000-0001-9916-9268; N/A; 0009-0003-0834-2793; N/A; 0000-0002-7227-0937; Abdulcebbar, Amal; N/A; Department of Psychology; Department of Psychology; Department of Psychology; N/A; Department of Psychology; N/A; Ranjbar, Hamed Abdollahpour; Atalay, Ayşe Altan; Eskin, Mehmet; Altıntaş, Seda; Kantarcı, Laçin; Yılmaz, Ertürk; Abdulcebbar, Amal; Researcher; Teaching Faculty; Faculty Member; Undergraduate Student; Master Student; Undergraduate Student; Master Student; Graduate School of Social Sciences and Humanities; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; Graduate School of Social Sciences and Humanities; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; Graduate School of Social Sciences and Humanities; N/A; 205807; 2210; N/A; N/A; N/A; N/AThe 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. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.Item Metadata only Metric error monitoring as a component of metacognitive processing(Wiley, 2023) 0000-0003-3390-9352; 0000-0002-6474-5955; Department of Psychology; Department of Psychology; Balcı, Fuat; Öztel, Tutku; Faculty Member; Teaching Faculty; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; 51269; N/AMetacognitive processing constitutes one of the contemporary target domains in consciousness research. Error monitoring (the ability to correctly report one's own errors without feedback) is considered one of the functional outcomes of metacognitive processing. Error monitoring is traditionally investigated as part of categorical decisions where choice accuracy is a binary construct (choice is either correct or incorrect). However, recent studies revealed that this ability is characterized by metric features (i.e., direction and magnitude) in temporal, spatial, and numerical domains. Here, we discuss methodological approaches to investigating metric error monitoring in both humans and non-human animals and review their findings. The potential neural substrates of metric error monitoring measures are also discussed. This new scope of metacognitive processing can help improve our current understanding of conscious processing from a new perspective. Thus, by summarizing and discussing the perspectives, findings, and common applications in the metric error monitoring literature, this paper aims to provide a guideline for future research.Item Metadata only Temporal error monitoring does not depend on working memory(Sage Publications Inc, 2023) 0000-0003-3390-9352; 0000-0002-6474-5955; Department of Psychology; Department of Psychology; Balcı, Fuat; Öztel, Tutku; Faculty Member; Teaching Faculty; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; 51269; N/AWorking memory (WM) and metacognition has been documented to be in a reciprocal relationship. This study aims to address if temporal error monitoring performance can be diminished with increased working memory load. We hypothesized that if temporal error monitoring has commonalities with perceptual error monitoring, temporal error monitoring performance should be diminished by increased working memory load. Participants completed a temporal error monitoring task in a dual task design in which the secondary task was a letter alphabetization task. Results revealed no disrupting effect of WM load on either confidence or short-long judgments as being different metrics of temporal error monitoring ability. These results demonstrate that unlike perceptual error monitoring, WM and temporal error monitoring have distinct processing mechanisms. With this result, the current study suggests that temporal and perceptual error monitoring may partially rely on different mechanisms. Results are discussed within A Theory of Magnitude (ATOM), pacemaker-accumulator model and temporal error monitoring frameworks.Item Metadata only Humans can monitor trial-based but not global timing errors: evidence for relative judgements in temporal error monitoring(Sage Publications Ltd, 2023) 0000-0003-3390-9352; 0000-0002-6474-5955; Department of Psychology; Department of Psychology; Balcı, Fuat; Öztel, Tutku; Faculty Member; Teaching Faculty; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; 51269; N/AHumans can monitor the magnitude and direction of their temporal errors in individual trials. Based on the predictions of our model of temporal error monitoring that rely on a relative comparison of internal clock readings, we predict that participants would monitor their timing errors in individual trials, but not the direction of their global timing errors without external feedback. One study has indeed found that accurate self-monitoring of average timing biases required external feedback with directional information. The current study investigates how different sources of feedback (i.e., internal or external) affect performance in the self-monitoring of average timing bias. Four groups of participants were tested in a temporal reproduction task. Participants in the self-evaluation condition evaluated the direction and size of their time reproduction errors in individual trials. In the accurate feedback condition, participants received explicit trial-based feedback regarding the direction of their error while participants in the partially accurate feedback condition received trial-based feedback according to the accuracy of short-long judgements of another participant in the self-evaluation condition. Participants in the control condition reproduced only the target duration without making any judgements regarding their reproduction performance or receiving any external feedback about it. Results showed that while participants accurately monitor timing errors in individual trials, in none of the experimental conditions were they more accurate than the chance level in terms of evaluating the direction of their average temporal bias. We discuss these results in terms of the temporal error monitoring model introduced by Akdoğan and Balcı. Thus, our findings suggest that external directional feedback does not have any informational value for global temporal bias judgements above and beyond internal self-monitoring. © Experimental Psychology Society 2022.Item Metadata only Combining forces for causal reasoning: children's predictions about physical interactions(Elsevier Science Inc, 2023) 0000-0002-0190-7988; 0000-0002-1201-1538; George, Nathan R.; Department of Psychology; N/A; Göksun, Tilbe; Özdemir, Salih Can; Faculty Member; Master Student; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; Graduate School of Social Sciences and Humanities; 47278; N/AReasoning about causal relations is essential for children's early cognitive development. The current study investigated 4-year -olds' (N = 58) reasoning about complex causal physical interactions in terms of predicting the endpoint of motion. In an online task, children were presented with four configurations that involved dif-ferent interactions of forces and consequently different patterns of motion. These were Cause (one force moving an object), Enable (a secondary force promoting the motion), Prevent-180 & DEG; (an opposing force hindering the motion), and Prevent-90 & DEG; (two-dimensional; a perpendicular force altering the motion). Each prediction was made in terms of either the Distance or Direction of the motion, which was novel in this task compared with previ-ous assessments. Results revealed differences between the config-urations, with Cause being the easiest and Prevent-90 & DEG; being the most difficult to predict. Furthermore, predictions were more accu-rate when options were about the motion's Direction, whereas Distance options may have aggravated reasoning. The current study extends previous findings on children's intuitive physics and causal cognition by showing that accuracy in reasoning not only is dependent on the number of forces and dimensions at work but also interacts with estimating the motion's Distance and Direction. & COPY; 2023 Elsevier Inc.

Studies focusing on IER have recently increased, probably due to the availability of a psychometrically sound IER measure, the Interpersonal Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (IERQ; Hofmann et al. Cognitive Therapy and Research, 40(3), 341–356, 2016). The present study sought to examine the psychometric properties of the Turkish version of IERQ with a sample of Turkish adolescents. Results confirmed the four-factor structure of IERQ with a group of 269 adolescents between ages 14 to 17. Turkish adolescent version of IERQ showed adequate levels of reliability and construct validity through the subscales’ significant correlations with dimensions of intrapersonal emotion regulation and social problem-solving. Adolescence is a period where close relationships with peers are initiated, and relying on peers at times of distress becomes prominent. The adolescent version of IERQ provides the opportunity to investigate IER patterns in adolescents, which is crucial for their psychological adjustment. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.Item Metadata only Exploring the relationship among motivational constructs and preservice teachers' use of computational thinking in classrooms(Routledge Journals, Taylor and Francis Ltd, 2023) 0000-0002-3209-8888; Akcaoglu, Mete; Hodges, Charles B.; Department of Psychology; Özcan, Meryem Şeyda; Teaching Faculty; College of Social Sciences and HumanitiesAs a key motivational factor that determines future teaching success with Computational Thinking (CT), in this cross-sectional survey study, we investigated if and how preservice teachers' (n = 76) self-efficacy for CT teaching, their usage of CT tools, and their motivation (utility value) were (inter)related. Through a series of regression analyses, we identified the associations between the three variables and found support for existing theories in the CT preservice education context. Notably, we found that CT usage and CT UV were only associated through the mediation of self-efficacy, which seems to be the key component for usage. We propose that CT focused interventions targeting utility value and classroom practices and policies should be provided to give preservice teachers experience in using CT software/tools are key for teacher education institutions and CT implementation into curricula.Item Metadata only Parental use of causal language for preterm and full-term children: a longitudinal study(Cambridge Univ Press, 2023) 0000-0002-0190-7988; Aktan-Erciyes, Asli; Department of Psychology; Göksun, Tilbe; Faculty Member; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; 47278Parents are often a good source of information, introducing children to how the world around them is described and explained in terms of cause-and-effect relations. Parents also vary in their speech, and these variations can predict children's later language skills. Being born preterm might be related to such parent-child interactions. The present longitudinal study investigated parental causal language use in Turkish, a language with particular causative morphology, across three time points when preterm and full-term children were 14-, 20-, and 26-months-old. In general, although preterm children heard fewer words overall, there were no differences between preterm and full-term groups in terms of the proportion of causal language input. Parental causal language input increased from 20 to 26 months, while the amount of overall verbal input remained the same. These findings suggest that neonatal status can influence the amount of overall parental talk, but not parental use of causal language.
