    (Nilay Özsavaş Uluçay, 2023-06-01) Yorgancıoğlu, Derya; Güngör, Beyza Şat; Aman, Doğa Dinemis; Faculty of Architecture and Design; Interior Architecture and Environmental Design; YORGANCIOĞLU, Derya; ŞAT, Beyza; AMAN, Doğa Dinemis
    The development of students’ critical and creative thinking skills is at the core of the first-semester basic design studio. Students’ perceptual experiences of their environment form the key references of abstraction in this beginning phase. This paper inquires studio approach based on abstraction and mapping as tools for intertwining visual reasoning and bodily experiences in the design process. Focusing on the case study of a basic design studio assignment, the authors analyze the structure, application, and products of the “Urban Abstraction and Mapping” project. The study adopted the case-study method as part of qualitative research approach and dwelled on researchers’ first-hand interaction with a phenomenon within its real-life context, ARCH/MIM101 studios. The findings showed that abstraction and mapping strategies based on students’ bodily experiences in urban contexts raised awareness of design as a generative and iterative research process. Students who were able to reveal and reconstruct the relationship between different forms of knowledge through experiential and conceptual levels of the design process managed to develop heuristic 2D and 3D design strategies. The findings of this study provide a ground for discussions on the effectiveness of teaching/learning methods applied in the introductory level of design education.

    The reliability and validity study of the reasonability of prosocial lie test – child form
    (Cyprus Mental Health Institute, 2022) Aydın, M. Ş.; Karakelle, S.; Kumru, Asiye; Psychology; KUMRU, Asiye
    Children’s perceptions of lying behaviors and their evaluations about different types of lies are among the topics discussed in the field. It is seen that the studies conducted on this subject focus on the lies that are told with antisocial and prosocial intentions that are opposite to each other. Besides, only a few studies have addressed children’s assessments of lies which are told for prosocial reasons. In these studies, it is also known that the researchers used various stories while examining the extent to which children perceive lies as reasonable through different stories. In the current study, it is aimed to conduct the validity and reliability study of the “Reasonability of Prosocial Lie Test-Child Form” in order to see whether the stories whether the stories measure the concept in Turkish sample. In addition, it was investigated for which reasons prosocial lies are more appropriate by focusing on the prosocial type of lying. A total of 277 children, 144 girls and 133 boys, aged between 8 and 13 years, participated in the study. Within the scope of validity studies, an exploratory factor analysis was performed, and it was founded that the final version of the test has an 11-item structure, 6 of which are “politeness lies”, 3 of which are "collaborative lies" emerging after someone else's request, and 2 of which are “negative lies” told for own benefit. In addition, the internal consistency coefficients of the test and the test-retest reliability coefficients revealed that the test was also reliable. The results of the analysis showed that the Reasonability of Prosocial Lie Test-Child Form is a valid and reliable measurement tool that can be used to evaluate which types of lies are more appropriate for children in primary and secondary school.

    The role of socio-economic status, mother’s psychopathology, reflective functioning and emotion socialization on toddlers’ behavior problems
    (Cyprus Mental Health Institute, 2022) Taşdelen, Afra Selcen; Kumru, Asiye; Arıkan, Gizem; Psychology; KUMRU, Asiye; ARIKAN, Gizem; Taşdelen, Afra Selcen
    The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationships between socio-economic status (SES), mother’s psychological symptoms, maternal reflective functioning, and mother’s use of emotional socialization practices and child behavioral problems during toddlerhood. The study also aimed to examine sex and age differences on the display of behavior problems of toddlers. Mothers who had children between the ages 1 to 3 and lived in different cities of Turkey (N = 534) participated in the study. The mothers were asked to complete a package of scales consisting of demographic form, Brief Symptom Inventory, Parental Reflective Functioning Questionnaire, Coping with Toddler Negative Emotions Scale, and Child Behavior Checklist. Based on the mothers’ reports, the results of hierarchical regression analyses showed that SES, maternal symptoms, and mother’s use of unsupportive emotion socialization behavior predicted toddler’s externalizing and internalizing behavior problems. Also, there was a significant age and sex differences on the child’ externalizing behavior problems with boys scoring higher than girls and older age children displaying more externalizing behavior problems than the younger ones. However, contrary to our expectations, mother’s supportive emotion socialization and reflective functioning didn’t predict child behavior problems. Overall, the present findings provide further support to family process model in predicting child behavior problems.

    The voice of the consumer on sVoD systems during covid-19: A service opportunity mining approach
    (Inst Superior Entre Douro & Vouga, 2022-01) Cadirci, T. O.; Gungor, A. S.; Kılıç, Sena; Aviation Management; KILIÇ, Sena
    Electronic word of mouth (e-WOM) is a vital channel for the exchange of customer-generated content. As the e-WOM messages created by consumers pile all around the Web, they generate an unbiased voice about products and services. With their high-level production in online environments, e-WOM message contributions go far beyond consumer decision-making. They become a vital source for gaining insights on designing and improving marketing offerings. The purpose of the study is to analyze service improvement opportunities for subscription-based video-on-demand (sVoD) services by exploring customer-generated eWOM messages. In addition to this, the study aims to comprehend the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on expectations, real feelings, and attitudes of customers towards its subscription-based video-on-demand services and to compare these emotions with those in the pre-pandemic period. Acting on customer-generated e-WOM messages for sVoD services, the paper provides a real-time analysis of monitoring customer needs and wants in a fast-moving service environment with topic-based sentiment analysis. The main procedures include data extraction and pre-processing, topic modeling, sentiment analysis, and opportunity analysis. When pre-covid and post-covid sentiments are compared, it is found that all sentiment scores have decreased, except for content diversity. The rich content offered by Amazon has led subscribers to take step to post positive comments about the platform. Addtionally, the results show possible service improvement opportunities in streaming quality, TV series content selection, use of commercials, and customer value generation in sVoD service encounters. The study identifies service improvement opportunities using data mining technology, which can provide a more in-depth understanding of consumer perceptions of marketing offerings and service quality. In addition, it analyzes the perceptions of consumers toward sVoD services in times of the Covid-19 pandemic.

    Well‐being and fear of missing out (Fomo) on digital content in the time of covid‐19: A correlational analysis among university students
    (MDPI, 2021-02) Şanlı, Ceren Hayran; Anik, L.; Business Administration; ŞANLI, Ceren Hayran
    The majority of research on the fear of missing out (FOMO) has focused on understanding how social media posts about attractive unattended experiences taking place in the physical world (e.g., a friend’s vacation) influence individuals’ affective states. With quarantine measures in place, and in the absence of travel and party photos on social media, do individuals feel they are missing out on enjoyable experiences? The current work shows that FOMO has not disappeared during the pandemic, even when socially distancing at home, but has been replaced by feelings towards new online activities (e.g., online concerts, virtual gatherings). As a consequence, we find that FOMO threatens well‐being by causing important psychological and health issues, such as sleep depriva-tion, loss of focus, declined productivity, and finding relief in knowing that others have difficulty keeping up with abundant digital content. Importantly, we find these consequential effects both during the initial (May 2020) and late stages (December 2020) of the pandemic. With excessive Internet use and virtual FOMO likely to be a continuing reality of life, questions remain as to how one can refrain from its negative effects and stay healthy during the pandemic and in the post‐pandemic era. We discuss remedies and suggest new research avenues that may help elevate the negative consequences of FOMO on well‐being.
