    (Turkish Psychologists Assoc, 1996) N/A; Department of Psychology; Kağıtçıbaşı, Çiğdem; Faculty Member; Department of Psychology; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; N/A
    Two dimensions in interpersonal relations call be observed in many theories. One of these dimensions consists of relatedness and separateness while the second dimension consists of active and passive. Relatedness and autonomy are generally considered to be opposite concepts but these two concepts may co-exist. When we look at the relationship between autonomy and family structure, modernization theory claims that relatedness decreases with modernization. In the approach explained here, self can be both autonomous and related.

Participants were 110 Turkish immigrants to Canada. Despite high educational attainments, two-thirds of the sample were either unemployed or underemployed. there were three main objectives in this study. First, the study aimed at examining the relationships among employment difficulties, psychological well-being and adaptation. the conceptual model of the study was tested using LISREL VIII which confirmed that there were positive relationships among workforce integration, psychological wellbeing and adaptation. Second, the study examined the predictors of the three components of adaptation, namely psychological, socio-cultural and economic. Status loss, relative status, and acculturative stress predicted psychological adaptation; self-concept, Alienation, and personality predicted socio-cultural adaptation; status loss, relative status, unemployment, and migration motivation predicted economic adaptation. the final objective of this study was to explore the ways in which acculturation attitudes of Turkish immigrants influenced the relationships among employment difficulties psychological well-being and adaptation. Results showed that 'integration' and 'separation' were the most preferred acculturation attitudes among Turkish immigrants. Moderated multiple regression analyses revealed that acculturation attitudes helped immigrants cope with stressful life events resulting from employment difficulties.

    Elaborative processing mediates the relationship between need for cognition and academic performance
    (Heldref Publications, 1996) Sadowski, CJ; Department of Psychology; Gülgöz, Sami; Faculty Member; Department of Psychology; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; 49200
    The short Need for Cognition Scale (NFCS; Cacioppo, Petty, & Kao, 1984) was administered to 51 students enrolled in two sections of a social psychology class at the beginning of the course. During the quarter the students completed three projects, in which they explained the social-psychological principles they thought were illustrated in self-selected materials. The projects were scored on elaborative processing, i.e., the use of relevant, cogent, and detailed explanations. NFCS and elaboration orientation scores were then correlated with the summated scores from three multiple-choice tests. Results indicate that students high in need for cognition achieved more academically than those low in need for cognition, because the former were more effective information processors.
