Experiencing the outbreak of the first world war: A critique of cultural history
(Balkanistic Forum - International University Seminar for Studies and Specialization, 2025) Ringmar, Erik Ivar; İnsan ve Toplum Bilimleri Fakültesi, Siyaset Bilimi ve Uluslararası İlişkiler Bölümü
This article critiques cultural history’s tendency to reduce human experiences to social structures and discourse, neglecting the felt and embodied dimensions of historical events. Using the Augusterlebnis of 1914 as a case study, it challenges revisionist interpretations that dismiss war enthusiasm as propaganda or coercion. Instead, it argues that experiences are pre-discursive, shaped by bodily reactions and immediate perceptions. By overlooking the lived, sensory aspect of historical events, historians risk distorting the past. The article calls for a historiography that integrates both cognitive and embodied experiences to better understand how individuals truly experienced historical moments.
Just kidding? Exploring the role of traditional versus counter-traditional gender role jokes on gender identity threat
(De Gruyter Mouton, 2025) Güvensoy, İpek; Kaplan, Büşra; Bağcı, Sabahat Çiğdem; Sakarya, İrem; Kamacı, Esra; Kuyucu, İrem; Yurt, Duygu; Akay, Selen; Kahraman, Emrah
While traditional gender roles have been examined in the context of online communication, less is known about the implications of encountering counter-traditional gender roles (e.g., depicting men as caring and women as independent) on social media. We investigated participants' perceived gender identity threat upon exposure to traditional versus counter-traditional gender role jokes that targeted either men or women. An online experiment (N = 265) using a 2 (content: traditional versus counter-traditional gender roles) by 2 (joke's target gender: men versus women) by 2 (participant's gender: man versus woman) mixed design demonstrated that overall, jokes targeting women elicited greater identity threat and women perceived greater identity threat than men. Moreover, the three-way interactions showed that women, in particular, perceived greater identity threat from traditional gender role jokes targeting women. The current study highlights the damaging role of the spread of traditional gender roles through humor, particularly for women's gender identities.
Acceptance and commitment therapy can reduce emotional eating behavior in Turkish adults: A randomized controlled trial
(Elsevier, 2025) Kavla, Büşra; Kavla, Yasin; Karatepe, Hasan Turan
Purpose: Emotional eating (EE) is a significant clinical feature of eating disorders. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is an effective treatment approach for eating disorders. However, the effectiveness of ACT on EE remains unclear. This study aims to develop a new ACT-based intervention and evaluate its effectiveness on EE. Methods: Forty-five females participated and were randomly assigned to either the ACT group (n = 46) or the control group (n = 45). All participants completed validated measures of emotional eating, psychological flexibility, emotion regulation difficulty, and mindful eating at two points: baseline and post-treatment. At one-month follow-up, participants in the ACT group also completed the baseline measures. Results: Post-intervention, EE and psychological inflexibility were significantly reduced, while psychological flexibility and mindful eating were significantly increased in the ACT group compared to the control. At follow-up, the ACT group continued to show significantly lower EE levels. Conclusion: To date, only one study has investigated ACT's effectiveness in addressing EE, using a one-day workshop format, which was considered inadequate for developing acceptance and value clarification skills. This study is the first to adapt traditional ACT practices specifically for EE, with sufficient treatment duration. It is also the first to assess the intervention's impact on psychological flexibility. The results provide preliminary evidence of the potential of an ACT-based approach to reduce EE. Level of evidence: Level I, Evidence obtained from at least one properly designed randomized controlled trial, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses; experimental studies.
From motives to optimal functioning: The beneficial role of self-concordance in crafting a good life
(Moscow State University of Psychology and Education, 2024) Subaşı, Mustafa
Hedonic, eudaimonic, and extrinsic motives in daily activities affect well-being outcomes. Hedonic motives refer to pleasure and comfort pursuit. Eudaimonic motives include pursuing excellence, authenticity, growth, meaning, and value-congruent activity. Extrinsic motives encompass the pursuit of fame, power, status, material wealth, and popularity. Previous research has laid emphasis on the connections of well-being motives and outcomes. However, these studies do not largely focus on personal goal selection and pursuit. This study adopts the Self-Concordance Model (SCM), and investigates the mediating role of goal self-concordance between well-being motives and outcomes including positive affect, negative affect, meaning in life, and life satisfaction. A total of 823 participants (Age mean = 23,41, SD = 6,94) took part in the study. The results showed that eudaimonic and extrinsic motives had associations with most of the well-being outcomes while hedonic motivation interestingly demonstrated no associations with them. Furthermore, goal self-concordance substantially mediated the positive effects of eudaimonic motivation and the negative effects of extrinsic motivation on well-being outcomes. Implications of well-being motives and outcomes in the context of personal goals are discussed.
Adaptation of the hedonic and eudaimonic motives for activities-revised (HEMA-R) scale among Russian-speaking respondents
(Psystudy, 2024) Subaşı, Mustafa; Osin, Evgeny
Individual motives significantly influence the pursuit of well-being and its outcomes. Hedonic and Eudaimonic Motives for Activities-Revised (HEMA-R) Scale measures eudaimonic, hedonic, hedonic pleasure, and hedonic comfort motives. Hedonic motives include the pursuit of pleasure, enjoyment, fun, relaxation, and comfort. Hedonic pleasure motives refer to the pursuit of enjoyment and fun. Hedonic comfort motives relate to the pursuit of relaxation and comfort-seeking. Eudaimonic motives consist of the pursuit of personal excellence, meaning, authenticity, self-growth, cultivating personal strengths, and valued goals. Although previous research has studied these motives in Western and Eastern contexts, the current literature requires further research on well-being motives in non-Western contexts. This research aimed to investigate well-being motives within a Russian context, which is underrepresented in the litera-ture. Study 1 validates the HEMA-R among Russian-speaking people from different regions of Russia, revealing excellent fit indices in confirmatory factor analyses. Results demonstrate that both two-factor and three-factor solutions of the Russian HEMA-R are viable. Additionally, eudaimonic, hedonic pleasure, and hedonic comfort motives are linked to enhanced well-being outcomes. Study 2 replicates these findings in a larger sample. Both studies shed light on well-being motives and their associations among Russian people and highlight the distinct and complementary roles of these motives in nurturing well-being outcomes.
