    Autobiographical remembering regulates emotions: a functional perspective
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2018) N/A; N/A; Department of Psychology; Öner, Sezin; Gülgöz, Sami; PhD Student; Faculty Member; Department of Psychology; Graduate School of Social Sciences and Humanities; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; 181122; 49200
    Emotional deviation has been considered an essential factor in emotion regulation, in that, attempts to compensate for the deviation is reflected on cognitive processes. In the present study, we focused on autobiographical remembering and tested the functional role of memory on emotion regulation. We specifically examined the congruence effect in individuals' subsequent memory reports after recalling emotional events. Individuals were randomly assigned to three groups to report either sadness or anger evoking events or emotionally unspecified events that they experienced in the last five years. Results supported mood-incongruence, but only for the emotional memory groups. Despite highly negative memories reported in the initial recall, individuals in anger- and sad-memory groups revealed an up-regulation trend in subsequent recall. Furthermore, sadness and anger induction affected phenomenological features of the subsequently reported memory. Overall, our findings supported for the emotion regulation function of remembering that serves counter-regulation of the negative emotion. We discuss potential mechanisms in the light of explanations by a functional approach to autobiographical memory.

    Remembering successes and failures: rehearsal characteristics influence recollection and distancing
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2018) N/A; N/A; Department of Psychology; Öner, Sezin; Gülgöz, Sami; PhD Student; Faculty Member; Department of Psychology; Graduate School of Social Sciences and Humanities; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; 181122; 49200
    We investigated the relationship between components of rumination, brooding and reflection, and autobiographical remembering by testing whether voluntary and involuntary rehearsal mediated rumination-related variation in the sensory-affective and metacognitive features of memory experience. We focused on achievement and failure memories as both are goal-related events, yet they represent distinct experiences in terms of valence and functionality. For failure memories, brooding was associated with intense recollection and reduced psychological distance. Brooding was related to enhanced distance of achievements, indicating the disruptive effects of brooding on remembering. Although reflection attenuated the recollective experience for both achievement and failure memories, it brought achievement memories to a subjective closer past. Structural equation modelling demonstrated the mediating role of involuntary remembering on the pattern of remembering experience.

    Neural correlates of placebo effect: review and future implications
    (Mustafa Hasbahçeci, 2017) N/A; N/A; Öner, Sezin; PhD Student; Graduate School of Social Sciences and Humanities; 181122
    Experimental and clinical research has documented expectancy related symptom improvement in a variety of conditions, leading to a growing interest in the placebo effect. Despite significant treatment outcomes, placebo-induced effects have been regarded as nonspecific psychological factors associated with the subjective experience of healing that operates different than the actual drug agent . However, neuroimaging research revealed more complex regulation of the placebo response, which indicates a top-down regulation of the symptom improvement enhanced by the expectancy effects. It appears that, placebo response is not solely function of higher order control processes, but also involves diverse disease-specific neurobiological mechanisms. In the current review, neural mechanisms underlying placebo effect have been addressed focusing on the analgesia, Parkinson’s disease and major depression. Along with the opiate system, dopaminergic and serotonergic functions in the brain are discussed in relation with the three target conditions. Last, potential implications of the placebo research are discussed with respect to experimental and clinical practice. / İyileşme beklentisi ile ilişkili hastalığa-özgü semptomlardaki iyileşme literatürde sıkça gösterildiğinden plasebo etkisine olan ilgi giderek artmaktadır. Her ne kadar tedavi etkinliği plasebo gruplarında belirgin olsa da, bu etkinin asıl maddeden ziyade, hastanın iyileşme beklentisi ve öznel iyilik değerlendirmesinin bir sonucu olarak düşünülmektedir. Öte yandan, beyin görüntüleme çalışmaları daha karmaşık bir sürecin var olduğuna işaret etmektedir. Denetimli kontrol mekanizmalarının yönettiği plasebo etkisinin iyileşme beklentisi ile güçlendiği görüşü giderek ağırlık kazanmaktadır. Bu bağlamda görünen odur ki, plasebo etkisi tek bir sistem üzerinden değil, hastalık temelli mekanizmalar aracılığı ile ortaya çıkmaktadır. Bu derleme çalışmasında da, plasebo etkisinin nöral boyutlarının sıkça incelendiği ağrı, Parkinson ve depresyon olgularına ilişkin bulgulara odaklanılmış ve opiat sistemi ile dopaminerjik ve serotonerjik işlevler incelenmiştir. Bu doğrultuda da, geçmiş bulguların gözden geçirilmesinin ardından plasebo etkisinin gelecek çalışmalardaki rolü tartışılmıştır.

    Latent constructs model explaining the attachment-linked variation in autobiographical remembering
    (Taylor _ Francis, 2016) Department of Psychology; Öner, Sezin; Gülgöz, Sami; PhD. Student; Faculty Member; Department of Psychology; Graduate School of Social Sciences and Humanities; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; N/A; 49200
    In the current study, we proposed a latent constructs model to characterise the qualitative aspects of autobiographical remembering and investigated the structural relations in the model that may vary across individuals. Primarily, we focused on the memories of romantic relationships and argued that attachment anxiety and avoidance would be reflected in the ways that individuals encode, rehearse, or remember autobiographical memories in close relationships. Participants reported two positive and two negative relationship-specific memories and rated the characteristics for each memory. As predicted, the basic memory model yielded appropriate fit, indicating that event characteristics (EC) predicted the frequency of rehearsal (RC) and phenomenology at retrieval (PC). When attachment variables were integrated, the model showed that rehearsal mediated the link between anxiety and PC, especially for negative memories. On the other hand, for avoidance EC was the key factor mediating the link between avoidance and RC, as well as PC. Findings were discussed with respect to autobiographical memory functions emphasising a systematically, integrated framework.
