Article Citation - Scopus: 2The Effect of Derogation Strategies Used by Females in Intrasexual Competition on Males' Mate Preferences(Turkish Psychologists Assoc, 2010) Dural, Seda; Karasar, Asu; Cetinkaya, Hakan; Çetinkaya, Seda DuralThis study investigated the effect of derogation strategies used by females in intrasexual competition on males' mate preferences. For this purpose, a total of four studies, one of them being a preliminary study, were conducted. In the preliminary study, a measurement tool including derogation strategies used by females in intrasexual competition was developed. The first study was conducted to examine which derogation strategies were used more frequently by females in intrasexual competition. Results showed that females used derogation strategies related to promiscuity and infidelity of their rivals more frequently than derogation strategies related to appearance of their rivals. The second study investigated the derogation strategies affecting males' decisions in mate preference. Findings showed that males were affected by derogation strategies including promiscuity and infidelity more than derogation strategies including appearance. The third study examined whether the results of the second study changed according to the relationship type (e.g., long term or short term) planned by males. The results of the multi-sample confirmatory factor analysis with mean structures indicated that there was no significant difference between long term and short term relationship groups for derogation strategies including promiscuity and infidelity. However, findings yielded a significant difference between the two groups in terms of derogation strategies including appearance; males in short term relationship group were affected by derogation strategies including appearance more than the males in long term relationship group.Article Citation - WoS: 2Hemispheric Asymmetry in Expression and Perception of Happiness(Turkish Psychologists Assoc, 2012) Gulbetekin, Evrim; Iyilikci, Osman; Amado, Sonia; Cetinkaya, Hakan; Dural, Seda; Çetinkaya, Seda DuralHemispheric asymmetries in happiness expression -which has an important role in interpersonal communication and its perception- have been studied using different techniques. However, it is not clear whether the source of the asymmetry is the poser or the observer. In Experiment I, we investigated on which hemiface (right/left) the expression of happiness was better identified. Subjects evaluated right-sided happy chimeric faces as more expressive. In Experiment II, we examined whether the source of the bias was the observer's hemispheric asymmetry or the poser's facial asymmetry. Stimuli were briefly presented unilaterally, either in the left visual field(LVF)/right hemisphere(RL) or in the right visual field(RVF)/left hemisphere(LH). Faces were recognized faster in LVF condition, but they were evaluated as more expressive in RVF condition. Right-sided happy faces were found to be more expressive in RVF condition. Results indicated LH superiority in the recognition of happy expression and a RH superiority in the duration of facial processing. Additionally findings pointed out a sex difference in subjects' evaluation time and evaluation scores. Men evaluated the stimuli faster in the RH condition than they did in the LH condition; while women evaluated the faces with higher scores in LH than they did in RH condition.Article How Do the Characteristics of Gold Mining Projects Affect the Level of Resistance Among Local Communities? a Comparative Study(Istanbul Univ, Fac Letters, Dept Sociology, 2022-11-14) Özen, Şükrü; Özen, HayriyeIn this study, we aim to understand how the factors associated with gold mining projects affect the level of resistance of local communities against gold mining. Unlike previous research that claimed that the objectively observable features of mining projects directly affect the level of resistance, we argue from a post-structuralist perspective that objective features can affect resistance only as they are articulated in anti-mining and pro-mining discourses. Based on this premise, we compare the features of the Artvin-Cerrattepe, Esme-Kisladag, Menderes-Efemcukuru and Ilic-Copler projects between 1994 and 2010 by associating them with anti-mining and pro-mining discourses as well as resistance levels. Our comparison shows that the features of projects, such as the mining company's country of origin, the use of cyanide, the value of the mine for the company, the proximity of the mining site to settlement areas, its topographic location, and the income level of locals that the mining site directly impacts, affect the level of resistance only through the meanings that they take in the anti-mining and pro-mining discourses. Our study also reveals that the resistance level is unrelated to the kind of mineral, mining quarry, or grade. Our study contributes to the relevant literature by offering both a theoretical framework that relates the characteristics of mining projects to the level of local resistance in a novel way, as well as three influential project characteristics neglected in the literature - the mining company's country of origin, the value of the mine for the company, and the mining site's topographic location.Article Para Tutumunun Kariyer Hedefleri Üzerindeki Etkisi: Üniversite Öğrencileri Üzerinde Bir Araştırma(2017) Baklacı, Hasan Fehmi; Baklacı, Ömür Süer; Kocaer, EcemBu çalışmanın amacı, para tutumunun, kariyer hedefleri üzerindeki etkisini incelemektir. Üniversitelerin lisans düzeyinde okuyan öğrencileri üzerinde gerçekleştirilen araştırmada, ortalama farkları ve çoklu lineer regresyon modeli kullanılmıştır. Analizler sonucunda, erkeklere göre kadınların parayı bir güç ve prestij sembolü olarak görme eğilimlerinin daha düşük olduğu, daha tutumlu ve finansal planlamaya daha eğilimli oldukları tespit edilmiştir. Paranın güç ve prestij sembolü olduğunu düşünenler ile parasal kaygıları daha yoğun olan bireylerin, çalışacakları işin dolgun maaşlı olmasını daha çok önemsedikleri de elde edilen bulgulardan bir diğeridir.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 5Psychological Maltreatment of Women Inventory Short Form - Turkish Adaptation(Klinik Psikiyatri Dergisi, 2017) Ersoy, Nevra Cem; Hunler, Olga Selin; Namer, YuditObjective: This study aims to adapt a short form of Psychological Maltreatment of Women Inventory (Tolman 1989) to Turkish and to examine the psychometric properties of the Turkish short form. Method: Participants were 852 women between the ages of 2355 (32.12 +/- 10.97 years), who were either married (48%) or in a romantic relationship (47%) during data collection. The questionnaire was comprised of Psychological Maltreatment of Women Inventory (PMWI), Submissive Acts Scale (SAS) and demographic information form. Principal Components Analysis was used for confirmatory construct validity, and Pearson correlation coefficients between SAS and PMWI total scores were calculated for discriminatory validity. Cronbach-Alpha internal consistency coefficients and split-half reliability were measured to establish internal consistency. Results: The three-factor (Restriction/Blaming/Threat; Emotional-Verbal Violence; Responsibility) structure explained 64.3% of variance. Internal consistency coefficient (Cronbach-Alpha) was found to be .93; split half reliability was found to be .90 and .87 for the first and second halves, respectively, and the correlation between the two halves were found to be .71. Conclusion: The Turkish short form of Psychological Maltreatment of Women Inventory is a valid and reliable tool to measure psychological maltreatment experienced by married women, or women in romantic relationships.Article Citation - Scopus: 2Behavioral Immune System and Trypophobia(Klinik Psikiyatri Dergisi, 2022) Ozturk, Suleyman; Ceylan, Deniz; Demir, Ayse Banu; Kazdagli, Hasan; Erdeniz, BurakPathogens, which are the source of infectious diseases, have imposed a strong selection pressure on human evo-lution as one of the most important causes of human death during the natural selection process. As a result of this, it is assumed that a variety of adaptations have evolved against infection threats and one of these adap-tations is the physiological immune system. However, activation of the physiological immune system can be quite costly for organisms in some cases, and therefore it has been recently proposed in evolutionary psychology that an adaptive system called behavioral immune sys-tem may have evolved in association with the proactive functional processes against pathogen threats. Furthermore, it was hypothesized that a number of psy-chopathologies might develop as a result of maladaptive processes affecting the functionality of this system, and one of these psychopathologies might be trypophobia. Trypophobia refers to a psychological disorder in which individuals experience aversion and disgust at excessive levels toward clusters of small objects such as holes and bumps. Following this, the current review was estab-lished within the framework of three distinct goals. Firstly, this review aimed to discuss the evolutionary basis and mechanisms of the behavioral immune system. Secondly, the review aimed to discuss the characteristic features and the etiological explanations of trypophobia. Finally, the review aimed to discuss how potential changes in the behavioral immune system might lead to the development of trypophobia.Article Citation - WoS: 19Citation - Scopus: 17Evaluation of Illness Perception of Women With Breast Cancer in Turkey(Aves, 2019-04-04) Karabulutlu, Elanur Yilmaz; Avci, Iliknur Aydin; Karayurt, Orgul; Gursoy, Ayla; Kosgeroglu, Nedime; Tuna, Arzu; Ersin, Fatma; Karaman, SedaObjective: The aim of this study is to examine the illness perceptions of women with breast cancer and possible relationships between these perceptions and descriptive characteristics such as sociodemographic and clinical characteristics in Turkey. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted in compliance with correlational, descriptive research principles. Three hundred eighty women with breast cancer who were treated in various hospitals in seven regions of the country were included in the study. A sociodemographic and clinical characteristics form, and The Illness Perception Questionnaire were used for data collection. Results: The mean age of the patients with breast cancer was 49.8 +/- 11.5, among them, 83.95% were married, 37.37% were at stage 2 breast cancer, and 67.11% experienced mastectomy. It was found that the patients perceived higher personal control over illness (20.88 +/- 4.76). The patients perceived most common risk factors as the cause of the illness (19.42 +/- 6.38). This study show that variety sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of the patients affected their perceptions of illness. Conclusion: The meaning of illness from the perspective of patient with breast cancer should be assessed. The care, education and counselling programs should be planned according to the patient's illness perceptions.
