Publication Metadata only Knowledge processes and learning outcomes in MNCs: an empirical investigation of the role of HRM practices in foreign subsidiaries(Wiley, 2009) Simonin, Bernard L.; Department of Business Administration; Tunalı, Ayşegül Özsomer; Faculty Member; Department of Business Administration; College of Administrative Sciences and Economics; 108158By examining the case of American and European firms operating in Japan, this article contributes to the central debate of how and when multinational corporations (MNCs) learn from their foreign subsidiaries. Through structural equation modeling, we assess how specific human resource management (HRM) practices (critical thinking encouragement, supervisory encouragement, learning incentives, deployment of internal mechanisms and processes, expatriation, and corporate training) enhance (1) knowledge transfer outflows from the subsidiary to other parts of the MNC and (2) the subsidiary's performance in its local market. We find learning orientation to be a key antecedent of all HRM practices we investigated. From a practical point of view, a noticeable finding relates to the lack of effects of critical thinking encouragement on market knowledge acquisition and dissemination when (1) there is a significant presence of expatriates in the subsidiary and (2) when local managers have access to training programs at headquarters (HQ) and other affiliates.Publication Metadata only Continuous spontaneous alternation and turn alternation in Artemia Sp.(The Regents of the University of California, 2015) Department of Psychology; Department of Psychology; Department of Psychology; Balcı, Fuat; Çarkoğlu, Can; Yılmaz, Meltem; Faculty Member; Undergraduate Student; Undergraduate Student; Department of Psychology; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; 51269; N/A; N/AFree-running spontaneous alternation refers to the animal's tendency to prefer the least recently visited locations in successive spatial choices, which is attributed to the animals' choice between stimuli based on prior experience. Turn alternation, which is observed in directional choices preceded by a forced turn in one direction, also reflects the animals' tendency to alternate between directional choices but this tendency has been assumed to rely on other cues (e.g., proprioceptive cues) derived from the prior responses (e.g., forced turn in one direction). Based on previous studies, the turn alternation appears to rely on more primitive (lower-form) information features and to be a more frequently observed empirical phenomenon than the spontaneous alternation. We investigated these two behavioral alternation tendencies in Artemia sp. Experiment 1 tested the continuous spontaneous alternation (cSAB) performance of Artemia sp. in two different mazes: t-maze (three options) and plus maze (four options). Experiment 2 tested the turn alternation performance of Artemia sp. counter-balancing the direction of initial forced-turn between subjects. Our results showed that Artemia sp. had nearly chance level spontaneous alternation performance in the t-maze and plus maze whereas a higher than chance level turn alternation performance. These results support the ubiquity of turn alternation tendency across species and point at the lack of spontaneous alternation in Artemia sp.Publication Metadata only Cultural models of nature and society reconsidering environmental attitudes and concern(Sage Publications Inc, 2006) N/A; Department of Sociology; Ignatow, Gabriel; Faculty Member; Department of Sociology; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; N/ASocial scientists have long debated the factors influencing public concern for the natural environment. This study attempts to contribute to this debate by arguing that environmental concern is shaped by both "spiritual" and "ecological" cultural models of nature-society relations and that by distinguishing between these two, we can better recognize the social sources of variation in concern for the environment. An analysis of questionnaire data from 21 nations from the 1993 International Social Survey Program using ordinary least squares regression models shows that spiritual and ecological environmental worldviews have different social bases. Education generally positively predicts the latter but not the former. Patterns of national differences are noteworthy as well. Thus, conceptualizing public concern for the environment in terms of distinct cultural models may be more revealing than focusing on environmental concern as such.Publication Metadata only Lists as alternative discourse structures to narratives in preschool children's conversations(Taylor & Francis, 2004) N/A; Department of Psychology; Küntay, Aylin C.; Faculty Member; Department of Psychology; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; 178879This study examines a corpus of conversations of Turkish preschool-age children with adults, with the goal of analyzing 2 types of extended discourse structures (i.e., lists and narratives). Lists and narratives are compared with respect to (a) their internal structures, and (b) their social functions in the participants' daily interactions. The analyses suggest that although lists and narratives differ on structural grounds, they overlap in the functions they serve for the tellers. Lists constitute more of a descriptive structure, although temporality is foregrounded in narratives. Yet, both genres are used to express strips of past experience, and are employed by the same child in similar contexts, framed by similar metadiscourse comments, often blending into another. These findings suggest that, although lists and narratives are revealed as 2 clearly differentiable genres on formal analyses, lists carry some features of narrativity in children's conversational interactions.Publication Metadata only Why wait for the verb? Turkish speaking children use case markers for incremental language comprehension(Elsevier, 2019) Özge, Duygu; Snedeker, Jesse; Department of Psychology; Küntay, Aylin C.; Faculty Member; Department of Psychology; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; 178879Publication Metadata only Eyewitness memory distortion following co-witness discussion: a replication of Garry, French, Kinzett, and Mori (2008) in ten countries(AMER PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSOC, 2019) Ito, Hiroshi; Barzykowski, Krystian; Grzesik, Magdalena; Janssen, Steve M. J.; Khor, Jessie; Rowthorn, Harriet; Wade, Kimberley A.; Luna, Karlos; Albuquerque, Pedro B.; Kumar, Devvarta; Singh, Arman Deep; Cecconello, William Weber; Cadavid, Sara; Laird, Nicole C.; Baldassari, Mario J.; Lindsay, D. Stephen; Mori, Kazuo; Department of Psychology; N/A; Gülgöz, Sami; Gürdere, Ceren; Faculty Member; PhD Student; Department of Psychology; N/A; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; Graduate School of Social Sciences and Humanities; N/A; 49200; N/AWe examined the replicability of the co-witness suggestibility effect originally reported by Garry et al. (2008) by testing participants from 10 countries (Brazil, Canada, Colombia, India, Japan, Malaysia, Poland, Portugal, Turkey, and the United Kingdom; total N=486). Pairs of participants sat beside each other, viewing different versions of the same movie while believing that they viewed the same version. Later, participant pairs answered questions collaboratively, which guided them to discuss conflicting details. Finally, participants took a recognition test individually. Each of the 10 samples replicated the Garry et al. finding: Participants often reported on the final test a non-witnessed answer that their co-witness had stated during the collaboration phase. Such co-witness suggestibility errors were especially likely when the witness had not disputed the co-witness's report during the collaboration phase. The results demonstrate the replicability and generalizability of the co-witness suggestibility effect.Publication Metadata only Rethinking nationalism - state projects and community networks in 19th-century Ottoman Empire(Sage Publications Inc, 2008) N/A; Department of History; Köksal, Yonca; Faculty Member; Department of History; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; 53333This article challenges the idea that a centralized administrative infrastructure, a common citizenship, and the resulting national belonging run in the same direction in state transformations. Comparing two Ottoman provinces of Edirne and Ankara, the author argues that community networks influence local responses to administrative centralization and national identity formation. In the province of Edirne, dense communal networks that bridged religious and ethnic boundaries maintained local cooperation with state centralization, whereas dense relations within religious and ethnic communities contributed to the failure of the formation of Ottoman national identity. In the province of Ankara, the lack of dense relations connecting different communities prevented reform success in both administrative and ideological dimensions.Publication Metadata only Temporal error monitoring with directional error magnitude judgements: a robust phenomenon with no effect of being watched(Springer Heidelberg, 2021) N/A; Department of Psychology; Department of Psychology; Department of Psychology; Öztel, Tutku; Eskenazi, Terry; Balcı, Fuat; Teaching Faculty; Faculty Member; Faculty Member; Department of Psychology; Koç University Research Center for Translational Medicine (KUTTAM) / Koç Üniversitesi Translasyonel Tıp Araştırma Merkezi (KUTTAM); College of Social Sciences and Humanities; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; N/A; 258780; 51269A key aspect of metacognition is the ability to monitor performance. A recent line of work has shown that error-monitoring ability captures both the magnitude and direction of timing errors, thereby pointing at the metric composition of error monitoring [e.g., Akdogan and Balci (J Exp Psychol lutps://dx.doi.org/10.1037/xge0000265, 2017)]. These studies, however, primarily used a composite variable that combined isolated measures of ordinal confidence ratings (as a proxy for error magnitude judgement) and "shorter/longer than the target" judgements. In two experiments we tested temporal error monitoring (TEM) performance with a more direct measure of directional error magnitude rating on a continuum. The second aim of this study is to test if TEM performance is modulated by the feeling of being watched that was previously shown to influence metacognitive-like monitoring processes. We predicted that being watched would improve TEM performance, particularly in participants with high timing precision (a proxy for high task mastery), and disrupt TEM performance in participants with low timing precision (a proxy for low task mastery). In both experiments, we found strong evidence for TEM ability. However, we did not find any reliable effect of the social stimulus on TEM performance. In short, our results demonstrate that metric error monitoring is a robust metacognitive phenomenon, which is not sensitive to social influence.Publication Metadata only An investigation of children's empathic dispositions and behaviours across seven countries(Wiley, 2021) Kozloff, Violet; Cowell, Jason M.; Huppert, Elizabeth; Gomez-Sicard, Natalia; Lee, Kang; Mahasneh, Randa; Malcolm-Smith, Susan; Zhou, Xinyue; Decety, Jean; Department of Psychology; Selçuk, Bilge; Faculty Member; Department of Psychology; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; 52913This study examined individual influences on child empathy, the relationship between child and parent empathy, and the relationship between empathy and prosociality across seven countries. A large sample of children (N = 792, 49% female) from the ages of 6-10 years completed a situational empathy task, as well as a dictator game to assess prosociality. The questionnaire of cognitive and affective empathy was used to assess parents' and children's empathic dispositions. Children participated from Canada, China, Colombia, Jordan, South Africa, Turkey, and the United States. Situational empathy, empathic disposition, and prosociality were all positively associated with age. Boys displayed less situational empathy and lower empathic disposition than girls. Parental empathic disposition predicted the same dispositions in children but were not related to children's situational empathy or prosociality. No association was found between child prosociality and child empathic disposition. Overall, the results suggest similar ontologies of empathic disposition and situational empathy across countries.Publication Metadata only Work-life balance: cross-cultural, cross-domain, and crossover effects(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2012) Department of Psychology; Aycan, Zeynep; Faculty Member; Department of Psychology; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; 5798
