Two sides of the same coin? A comparison between internet-based and paper-based data collection for autism quotient and depression, anxiety and stress scale
(Cambridge University Press, 2024) Sönmez, Dilruba; Abidi, Yousr; Jordan, Timothy R.; İnsan ve Toplum Bilimleri Fakültesi, Psikoloji Bölümü
The utilization of internet-based data collection in mental health research has gained popularity for its convenience and affordability. However, concerns often arise regarding the validity and reliability of data collected via the internet. The Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ) is a self-report questionnaire to measure the traits associated with autism spectrum disorder (Baron-Cohen et al. J Autism Dev Disord, 2001; 31 5-17) and the online usage of AQis common and conducted with large numbers of participants across many studies. However, the effect of using internet-based data collection for AQ rather than conventional paper-based procedures is unknown.
Can conspiracy theories ever be plausible? The role of narrative rationality in the assessment of online conspiracy theories
(Oxford University Press, 2025) Turner, Hossein
Conspiracy theories (CTs) represent a persistent challenge in evaluating major events, as they often employ fallacious forms of narrative reasoning and persuasion to posit conspiratorial agency and motives. While many CT narratives conflict with logic and reason, a minority may possess a degree of plausibility. But by what standards can plausibility of a CT be measured? This article introduces concepts from legal storytelling, rhetoric and cognitive linguistics to expand Walter Fisher’s narrative paradigm framework, enabling auditors to critically engage with the rhetorical dynamics of CT narratives. Through an analysis of official and alternative narratives surrounding the death of a Russian spy, this article demonstrates how, in a similar way to the role of jurors in criminal trials, auditors may either join the rhetor in co-creating a coherent and plausible narrative, or end up challenging the rhetor by identifying problems and thus planting the potential seeds of rival accounts.
Gambling problem of a case with a history of cryptocurrency and sports betting: A case study
(Akadémiai Kiadó, 2025) Yılmaz, Emre; Kitapçıoğlu, Süreyyanur; Büyükçorak, Mehmet
The purpose of the case presentation is to address the recovery process of a client with a history of cryptocurrency and sports betting. he 39-year-old male sought assistance due to a gambling problem and associated familial issues. In the case, upon observing that the diagnostic criteria for gambling addiction align with DSM-V criteria, the South Oaks Gambling Screen Test was employed to evaluate the severity of gambling behavior. Sessions were conducted with the client utilizing Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing. The involvement of the family in the process facilitated psychological support throughout the treatment period. Following the eight-month intervention, it was noted that the CBT and Motivational Interviewing-based approach significantly mitigated the client's gambling behavior. Apart from a singular instance (crypto transaction), the client refrained from participating in betting activities. In studies conducted, it is evident that the problem of pathological gambling is at a significant level in Turkey, and similarly, there is a noticeable increase in tendencies towards cryptocurrency. In this context, there is a perceived need for large-scale and long-term research.
Problem orientation and psychological distress among adolescents: Do cognitive emotion regulation strategies mediate their relationship?
(Sage Publications, 2022) Söğüt Kahramanlar, Meryem; Yedidağ, Ecem; Ray Yol, Elcin; Özdemir, Ahmet Berk; Altan Atalay, Ayşe
Adolescence is a critical period for the development of attitudes and skills crucial in determining vulnerability for psychological distress. The current study aimed to focus on the association of problem orientation and cognitive emotion regulation strategies with psychological distress and demonstrate the mediator roles of adaptive and maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies in the association of problem orientation with psychological distress. Data were collected from 335 adolescents (167 female) aged 14-to-18 years (M= 14.7, SD= .95) via measures of problem orientation, cognitive emotion regulation, and psychological distress. The results revealed that maladaptive emotion regulation strategies (self-blame and other-blame) mediated the association of negative problem orientation with psychological distress. The findings emphasize the crucial roles of blaming-focused strategies in this relationship.

Migration, mobility, and war: A transnational analysis of diaspora volunteering in civil conflicts
(Routledge, 2025) Özdemir, Ahmet Yusuf; İnsan ve Toplum Bilimleri Fakültesi, Siyaset Bilimi ve Uluslararası İlişkiler Bölümü
This article argues for a shift in the paradigm when analysingtransnational war volunteering, commonly known as foreign fight-ing. Instead of overemphasizing the roles of criminal and securityaspects or individual motivational factors, this new analyticalapproach will transform the debate from actor to action. This articleintroduces the theoretical discussion of transnationalism withincivil wars and ethnic conflicts. By comparatively analysing conflictsin Kosovo (1999), Karabakh (1988–1994), and Abkhazia (1992–-1993), this article answers the questions of how transnational dia-spora volunteers mobilize, travel, and adapt to the war zones. Thepaper concludes that communities in the diaspora use sendingvolunteers as a tool to show solidarity with their relatives in thehomeland. Diaspora’s already established interest and connectionswith the motherland in the pre-conflict stage before the crisisturned into a fully-fledged war is an essential element in the rapid-ity of the mobilization process. Even if the means of reaching theconflict zones are not without challenges, they still try multiplemethods of travel such as air, sea, and road. Finally, this solidarityhas its complications, often ignored, such as linguistic, dialectical,and cultural differences.
Techno-pedagogical communication, ed-tech and media professionals: Crossroads for enhancing instructional quality
(Routledge, 2025) Karanfiloğlu, Mehmet; Bulut, Mehmet Akın; İletişim Fakültesi, Yeni Medya ve İletişim Fakültesi; Eğitim Bilimleri Fakültesi, Rehberlik ve Psikolojik Danışmanlık Bölümü
In pursuit of media and pedagogical excellence in the digital domain, this study examines the role of the Design-Based Research (DBR) process in using the Canvas Learning Management System (LMS) to improve techno-pedagogical teacher-student communication. Against the backdrop of rapid digital transformation accelerated by global disruptions, integrating Canvas as a Learning Management System (LMS) is at the forefront of these investigative efforts. Using a mixed methods approach, the research drew on empirical data from structured rubrics (Quality Matters Rubric, Triple E Rubric) to examine higher education courses (n = 5) and thematic analysis from student interviews (n = 16), highlighting noticeable improvements in instructional delivery and student engagement. The results highlight that the DBR process plays a central role in refining educational strategies, with iterative design and evaluations. This investigation into the digital orchestration of teacher-student interactions provides valuable insights into the nuanced dynamics of media and educational technologies. The study concludes that strategic application of the DBR process within Canvas LMS can result in a more tailored, responsive, and quality-focused learning experience. Our study contributes to the ongoing dialogue about effective digital pedagogy and proposes a model of engagement that is resilient and adaptable to media professionals and ever-evolving landscape of higher education.
COVID-19 and the Okun’s law: The case of Ghana¹
(Cogent OA, 2025) Abdul Malik, Amaama; Khan, Asad ul Islam; Yönetim Bilimleri Fakültesi, İktisat Bölümü
The Covid 19 pandemic was a strong shock that plummeted into the entire interconnected economic activities of the world. As a result of the lockdown associated with the pandemic, the economies of the world were affected through restrictions like lockdown leading to the reduction of economic indicators like Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and increase in Unemployment. This paper set out to look at the relationship between the GDP and unemployment in Ghana in the periods prior and during the covid pandemic. The Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model was used on data from 1991 to 2021. The result shows the nonexistence of the Okun’s law in Ghana in each of these periods. We conclude by advising policy makers to implement policies that directly generate more jobs like improvement in the agriculture sector through training and financial support to enable increased employment to match the increase in economic growth.
Employee mindfulness and creativity in the media industry: The roles of intrinsic motivation, cognitive flexibility, and supervisor support
(Routledge, 2025) Kıvrak, Fatma Halide; Adarves-Yorno, Inmaculada; Arslan, Mahmut; Yönetim Bilimleri Fakültesi, İşletme Bölümü
Within the competitive landscape of creative industries, fostering employee creativity is essential for organisational innovation. Recently, mindfulness has been recognised as a significant contributor to creativity, yet its impact within creative industries and the underlying mechanisms remain underexplored. To address these gaps, we examine the relationship between mindfulness and employee creativity and propose a model based on the Componential Theory of Creativity, tested with employees from six media organisations in Turkey (N = 561). The findings confirm that mindfulness significantly enhances employee creativity through intrinsic motivation and cognitive flexibility. Additionally, we examine the moderating effect of perceived supervisor support, revealing a moderated mediation effect in the link between mindfulness and creativity. Finally, we discuss practical implications and future research directions.
Evaluation of maintenance strategies using Pythagorean fuzzy sets: A novel model for time-constrained processes
(Taylor & Francis, 2025) Sancar, Semih; Kuşakcı, Ali Osman; Ayvaz, Berk; Yönetim Bilimleri Fakültesi, İşletme Bölümü
Considering the large investment cost as well as expectations such as increased awareness ofoccupational safety and quality, choosing the appropriate maintenance strategy emerges as acritical decision. Time-constrained production processes, which demand defect-free produc-tion within a limited timeframe, intensify the significance of this selection problem. In suchproduction processes, the product is generally short-lived, so stocking is not possible.Therefore, halting operations incurs significant costs. In this study, we aim to choose themost appropriate maintenance planning strategy for time-constrained processes. Given thatthe process of selecting a maintenance strategy is ambiguous and lacks conclusive assess-ments, it involves numerous hazy criteria. Thus, this study presents a framework that includesthe Pythagorean Fuzzy AHP-CRITIC-Entropy combined weighting method hybridized withPythagorean Fuzzy WASPAS. The model evaluates the maintenance options of Türkiye’s largestprinting company, which operates under time-constrained processes, in a real-world case studyproving the merit of the proposed methodology.
Contingency learning of social cues: Neural engagement and emotional modulation by facial expressions
(Frontiers, 2025) Saylık, Rahmi; Uysal, Burcu; Williams, Adrian Loyd; Murphy, Robin A.; İnsan ve Toplum Bilimleri Fakültesi, Psikoloji Bölümü
Contingency learning—the fundamental process by which associations are formed between events in our experience is as relevant of conditioning as it is for social interactions, where emotional cues, such as facial expressions, signal complex and reciprocal causal dynamics. This study investigates the functional neuroanatomy underlying contingency perception by with three type of contingent relation (positive, zero, and negative) using sad and happy facial expressions as stimuli in a group of neurotypical participants. Employing a streaming trial paradigm and functional MRI, we examined how these emotional contingencies engage brain regions involved in attention and predictive processing. The behavioural results indicated that participants could distinguish between different contingencies, regardless of the emotional stimuli. However, judgment ratings varied across conditions, with sad expressions eliciting weaker ratings compared to happy expressions, which moderated perceived causality, especially in the uncorrelated and negative contingency tasks. These behavioural findings were primarily linked to increased activation in frontal regions, including the inferior frontal gyrus, middle frontal gyrus, and anterior cingulate cortex. The results highlight the differential cognitive demands and neural responses evoked by emotional expressions and suggestive of the idea that statistical relations that violate social expectations are processed differently than positive relations.
A hybridized Pythagorean fuzzy AHP and WASPAS method for airline new route selection: Case study of Turkish Airline
(Emerald Publishing, 2025) Koma, Şenay; Kuşakcı, Ali Osman; Haji Amiri, Misagh; Yönetim Bilimleri Fakültesi, İşletme Bölümü
Purpose – This study aims to provide a practical and novel solution for the complex multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) problem of airline route selection, which is characterized by conflicting criteria, alternative routes, and complex judgments. Design/methodology/approach – This study proposes a hybrid MCDM approach using Interval-valued Pythagorean Fuzzy AHP and Interval-valued Pythagorean Fuzzy weighted aggregated sum product assessment (WASPAS) methods. Decision analysis is applied to select a new route between different alternatives through selection criteria. Pythagorean Fuzzy AHP is used for weighting criteria, and Pythagorean Fuzzy WASPAS is used for assessing alternatives. The pair-wise linguistic comparisons of selection criteria are transferred into Pythagorean fuzzy numbers (PFNs) to weigh each criterion’s importance. Findings – The pair-wise linguistic comparisons of selection criteria are transferred into PFNs to weigh each criterion’s importance. The results of these comparisons show that the main criteria, cost (43% weight) and demand (33% weight), impact route selection decisions more than social/economic conditions (15% weight) and competitiveness (9% weight). Regarding the criteria, the five routes alternative were evaluated by the route development experts, and the best route was selected with Pythagorean Fuzzy WASPAS. Practical implications – The proposed model is used for a route selection problem of Turkish Airlines, the airline that flies to the most countries in the world. Originality/value – To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is the first to use the Interval-valued Pythagorean Fuzzy AHP combined with Interval-valued Pythagorean Fuzzy WASPAS to solve the route selection problem. This hybrid MCDM methodology presents a novel and feasible solution for selecting the new route for airlines.
‘ … Like white light going through a prism’: A metaphorical exploration of multilingual education from teachers’ perspectives
(Routledge, 2025) Kamali, Jaber; Alpat, Muhammet Furkan; Rektörlük, Yabancı Diller Okulu
Various characteristics of multilingual educational settings have been investigated from diverse sources thus far; however, the metaphorical representation of these unique mini-societies has been overlooked and warrants greater attention. Therefore, grounded in a metaphorical standpoint, this study aimed to explore the underlying factors involved in multilingual education by analyzing teachers’ metaphors about it. To collect data, 67 teachers from a university in Türkiye, chosen through snowball sampling, completed a metaphor about multilingual education. Of these, 12 teachers participated in semi-structured interviews to elaborate on the metaphors they generated. Employing systematic metaphor analysis, the metaphors were categorized into six distinctive themes: travel, residence, edibles, art and entertainment, artifact, and career. Then, the thematic analysis of interview data indicated unique features of multilingual classrooms embedded within the provided metaphors and their underlying dimensions. These findings call for educational reforms in multilingual education for teachers, teacher educators, and policymakers by unveiling the unique features of this specific educational context.
Dialogical health communication via Twitter (X) during COVID-19 in African countries: Ghana as a case study
(MDPI, 2024) Aldamen, Yasmin; Abdallah, Amina; İletişim Fakültesi, Yeni Medya ve İletişim Fakültesi
Social media platforms, such as Twitter (X), have a critical role in disseminating health information. The study aims to highlight the potential of Twitter (X) as an influential tool for health communication, in addition to providing findings related to public health communication strategies in Ghana. The study investigated the role of Twitter (X) as a platform for building interactive health communication between the health communication system and citizens in Ghana during the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020–2022. Additionally, it has the potential to contribute to building dialogical health communication. The study analyzed a sample of COVID-19-related tweets from the official Ghana Health Service Twitter (X) account @_GHS from 2020 to 2022. The results showed that Twitter (X) was a key tool for health communication during the COVID-19 pandemic in Ghana, with both health institutions and the public sharing large amounts of health information. Furthermore, the study found evidence of dialogic communication, in which healthcare institutions and professionals are actively engaging with the public on Twitter (X). It concluded that public health communication on Twitter (X) has changed over time, as well as that the interactive health communication between the health communication system and citizens in Ghana was affected positively during the COVID-19 outbreak. It highlighted Twitter (X)’s potential as a tool for establishing a dialogue loop and building dialogic health communication. The results showed that before COVID-19, Ghana did not use Twitter (X) effectively to communicate with citizens about health matters. Twitter (X), with its wide reach and highly interactive nature through features such as retweets, has become a major platform for interactions facilitating dialogue between health institutions and health professionals and facilitating dialogue in public spaces surrounding health issues like COVID-19.
The impact of job autonomy on employee creativity: Examining perceived supervisor support as a mediator and job difficulty as a moderator
(Sage Publications, 2025) Kıvrak, Fatma Halide; Arslan, Mahmut; Adarves-Yorno, Inmaculada; Yönetim Bilimleri Fakültesi, İşletme Bölümü
Research indicates that job autonomy (JA) plays a pivotal role in enhancing employee creativity (EC); however, our understanding of the underlying mechanisms facilitating this connection is still limited. To address this lacuna, we draw on self-determination theory, which argues that perceived supervisory support (PSS) may act as a mediator. Thus, this study explores how JA enhances creativity through PSS. Furthermore, we explore the moderating role of the job difficulty level on the relationship between JA and EC. Conducting a cross-sectional survey involving 561 employees in the Turkish media sector, our study utilizes structural equation modelling in AMOS and employs moderator analysis in PROCESS Macro. The results unveil that JA not only directly positively impacts EC but also exerts an indirect influence through the mediating role of PSS. Furthermore, our findings highlight the moderating effect of job difficulty level, indicating a negative impact on the relationship between JA and EC. Among the examined control variables, including gender, organizational tenure and sectoral tenure, it is notable that sectoral tenure emerges as the sole factor significantly influencing EC. These results have significant implications for the development of innovative management strategies and human resources policies tailored to the unique needs of media companies. The study underscores the importance of understanding the intricate dynamics between JA, PSS and job difficulty levels in fos tering a creative work environment.
A study on gambling behavior in Türkiye: Perceptions, attitudes, thoughts, and behaviors toward gambling
(AVES, 2024) Altıntaş, Merih; Başgül, Şaziye Senem; Avcu, Akif; Macit, Ruken; Büyüköztürk, Şener; Dinçer, Duygu; Özdenler, Merve; Öztürk, Ömer Mücahit; İnsan ve Toplum Bilimleri Fakültesi, Psikoloji Bölümü
Background: The aim of this quantitative study conducted with 5008 individuals aged 15 and above in 12 provinces across Turkey was to determine the prevalence and significant variables of gambling behavior in our country and to examine the gambling behaviors, perceptions, thoughts, and attitudes of this population towards gambling. The goal is to generate concrete, original, culturally sensitive, feasible, and effective recommendations for preventive and risk-reducing policies. It is the first and only comprehensive investigation into gambling behavior in Turkey, offering guidance in this field. Methods: In this study, which was conducted with an epidemiological cross-sectional design, a stratified random sampling technique was employed, and data were collected using computer-assisted faceto-face interviews. Individuals to be surveyed in households were randomly selected using the Kish method. Results: Three hundred forty-one participants (6.81%) reported having gambled at least once (GALO) in their lifetime, while the remaining participants stated they had never gambled (NG). Among the GALO group, 100 individuals (29.33%) reported regular participation in gambling activities during the data collection period. The most commonly played types of gambling were sports betting (55.4%), national lottery (42.2%), numeric lottery (34.6%), and bingo (30.8%). The ages of first-time gambling ranged from 6 to 41. Tobacco, alcohol, and substance use were significantly more common in the GALO group compared to the NG group (P < .001). Conclusion: Understanding the prevalence of gambling behavior and underlying motivations is crucial for creating awareness and implementing effective preventive measures. We must determine its prevalence, examine societal attitudes, highlight its presence, and prioritize solution-oriented strategies.
The Reicher-Wheeler paradigm in word recognition research: A cautionary note on its actual contributions and published misconceptions
(Frontiers Media SA, 2024) Jordan, Timothy R.; Akkaya, Aziz M.; Göçmüş, Fatma Zehra; Kalan, Aleynanur; Morgül, Ebru; Önalan, Kübra; Sheen, Mercedes Kier; Akkaya, Aziz Muhammed; Morgül, Ebru; İnsan ve Toplum Bilimleri Fakültesi, Psikoloji Bölümü
The study of word recognition has been influenced greatly by findings obtained when visual stimuli are presented very briefly. Under these conditions, a great deal of evidence suggests that words are perceived better than nonwords, and even single letters, and it is generally accepted that these “word superiority effects” reflect the relative efficiency with which words are perceived. For more than 50 years, a key procedure for establishing these effects has been the Reicher-Wheeler Paradigm in which potentially confounding effects of non-perceptual guesswork are cleverly suppressed. More recently, however, the actual nature of the ReicherWheeler paradigm and its contribution to research have become misrepresented in a range of publications, and its use in experiments has been confused and conflated with other, less sophisticated procedures. In this article we describe the actual contributions made by the Reicher-Wheeler Paradigm to word recognition research and show examples of how these important contributions have been misunderstood and misconceived in experiments reported in the recent literature.
