Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 4Your Need for Cognition, Cognitive Flexibility, and Cognitive Emotion Regulation Strategies Matter! the Path Beyond a Satisfied Life(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2024) Kaynak, Hande; Nazligul, Merve Denizci; Cengil, Betul Beyza; Denizci Nazlıgül, MerveThis study explored the associations among cognitive flexibility, cognitive emotion regulation (CER) strategies, need for cognition, and life satisfaction, which represents a cognitive component of subjective well-being. Previous studies have shown the importance of adaptive CER strategies for well-being, while maladaptive strategies have been linked to negative outcomes such as psychological distress, depression, and anxiety. Additionally, the need for cognition has been associated with cognitive flexibility and positive outcomes in various domains. However, the specific roles of cognitive flexibility and CER strategies in the relationship between need for cognition and life satisfaction remain relatively unexplored in the existing literature. This study aimed to address this gap by investigating how cognitive flexibility and different CER strategies contribute to the relationship between need for cognition and life satisfaction in a non-clinical sample of 239 adults via a survey consisting of a demographic information form, need for cognition scale, cognitive flexibility inventory, cognitive emotion regulation questionnaire, and satisfaction with life scale. The results demonstrated that when individuals with a high need for cognition had cognitive flexibility, they were more likely to use adaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies, resulting in elevated life satisfaction. The findings of this study may provide insights into the underlying mechanisms that influence individuals' cognitive processes, cognitive emotional regulation, and overall life satisfaction. Such understanding can have implications for interventions aimed at enhancing cognitive flexibility, promoting adaptive CER strategies, and ultimately fostering improved life satisfaction.Article Comparative Literature in the Turkish Context: Past, Present and Possible Trajectories(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2024) Kirca, Mustafa; Baktir, H.This article aims to offer a concise analysis and evaluation of the historical trajectory and the current state of comparative literature in Turkey with a particular focus on its interdisciplinary nature. Additionally, it seeks to explore the development of comparative literature and translation studies in the Turkish context, aiming to reassess the seemingly close relationship between these adjacent fields within the context of Turkish literature, which can, we believe, encourage border-crossings in comparative and translation studies and open a space for newfangled approaches in comparative studies of translated literature.

Canan; Goncu-Kose, Asli; Toker-Gultas, Yonca; Acar, F. Pinar; Karanfil, Derya; Ok, A. BasakUsing qualitative and quantitative methodologies, in three consecutive studies with employed samples, we developed measures of workplace incivility, mobbing, and abusive supervision sensitive to the nuances of a non-Western context (i.e., Turkiye). In Study 1, we first conducted 15 focus groups (N = 149), identified culture-specific and universal themes underlying the focal mistreatment types, and developed the initial scales. We then pilot-tested (N = 427) and refined the scales using exploratory factor analytic procedures. In Study 2, confirmatory factor analyses (N range = 456-524) and associations between the new scales and their widely used counterparts (N = 353) yielded evidence for the construct validity of the scales. Study 2 also involved the development of short forms of relatively long incivility and abusive supervision scales. In Study 3 (N = 482), we first examined the extent to which the three scales were operationally distinct. Second, we examined the scales' ability to predict burnout and organizational commitment. Results supported operational distinctiveness as well as the criterion-related validity of the scales. A dominance analysis revealed that the three scales had equivalent contributions in explaining the two outcome variables, further justifying their distinctiveness. We argue that the use of present scales is not necessarily restricted to the Turkish context and may prove useful more broadly in other neo-traditional contexts.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Decoding the Impact of Covid-19 on Everyday Life Practices of Syrian Refugees: an Investigation at the Neighbourhood Level(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2024) Kahraman, Z. Ezgi Haliloglu; Haliloğlu Kahraman, Z. EzgiThis study investigates the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic at the neighbourhood level on the everyday life practices of Syrian refugees and the potential reasons for virus transmission in their settlements. It is based on fieldwork in an ethnic enclave of Ankara, which revealed comparative insights into everyday life practices of Syrians before and after the outbreak, their perceptions, reactions and strategies towards the pandemic and its countermeasures. Their religious beliefs, socio-cultural structure, social networks and economic struggles have significant effects on their perceptions and practices in pandemic times; together with their living and working conditions, this may create risks of virus transmission. The degradation in their employment status, interruptions in donations and increase in expenditures resulted in decreases in living standards. The outbreak, negatively influencing their use of public services and some parts of social life created new inequalities and stressors but empowered their social support system and virtual networking capacities.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 5Understanding the Local Dynamics of Syrian Refugee Integration Through the Eyes of Refugees and Local Residents: the Case of the Onder Neighbourhood, Ankara(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2022) Kahraman, Z. Ezgi Haliloglu; Gungordu, Feriha Nazda; Haliloğlu Kahraman, Z. EzgiAs the civil war in Syria continues and the displaced Syrians continue to become 'urban refugees' in their settled (host) countries since 2011, policy/political attention has shifted to refugee emplacement and integration. Despite the growing policy-oriented literature on integration, limited attention has gone to developing actor-oriented approaches to uncover the local dynamics of refugee integration by giving a voice to both refugees and local people. Attempting to address this gap in the literature, this article presents the views of Syrian refugees and local people on the integration process through the findings of a case study conducted in the onder neighbourhood of Ankara, Turkey; known as 'Little Aleppo.' The findings portray the social, economic, political and spatial dimensions of Syrians' integration at the local level from both parties' perspectives and reveal the local drivers of and barriers to Syrians' integration in Onder.Article Citation - WoS: 9Citation - Scopus: 15Stock Returns and Volatility: Empirical Evidence From Fourteen Countries(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2005) Balaban, E; Bayar, AThis is a pioneering effort to test in 14 countries the relationship between stock market returns and their forecast volatility derived from the symmetric and asymmetric conditional heteroscedasticity models. Both weekly and monthly returns and their volatility are investigated. An out-of-sample testing methodology is employed using volatility forecasts instead of investigating the relation between stock returns and their in-sample volatility estimates. Expected volatility is derived from the ARCH(p), GARCH(1, 1), GJR-GARCH(1, 1) and EGARCH(1, 1) forecast models. Expected volatility is found to have a significant negative or positive effect on country returns in a few cases. Unexpected volatility has a negative effect on weekly stock returns in six to seven countries and on monthly returns in nine to eleven countries depending on the volatility forecasting model. However, it has a positive effect on weekly and monthly returns in none of the countries investigated. It is concluded that the return variance may not be an appropriate measure of risk.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 7Urban Spatial Structuring Following Disasters: Empirical Findings From Location Choices of Businesses in Adapazari, Turkey(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2016) Orhan, EzgiThis study argues that ignorance of businesses in disaster management systems from the point of spatial policies leads to deviations from initial recovery goals aiming to create a safer urban environment. Therefore, the paper examines the location choices of businesses in a disaster-stricken case from Turkey through an empirical research conducted after the 1999 Earthquake. In doing so, data were gathered from 232 firms in Adapazari city via a questionnaire to inquire about their location choices before and after the disaster and the reasons behind their strategy. Findings suggest that recovery goals at community level cannot be achieved without referring to the spatial decisions of businesses in hazard-prone areas. With regard to the findings of the study, policy recommendations are developed to guide post-disaster practises from a space-sensitive perspective by focusing on businesses.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1The Effect of Different Inflation Risks on Interest Rates of the Us(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2009) Yuksel, E.; Akdi, Y.This article examines the effect of different inflation uncertainty measures on interest rates of the US in a Fisher hypothesis framework. Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity (GARCH) specification with a time-dependent parameter model is used to obtain three types of inflation uncertainties, namely, impulse uncertainty, structural uncertainty and steady-state uncertainty. It has been observed that the impulse uncertainty has negative but the structural uncertainty has positive impact on both short-term and long-term interest rates. Both of these effects are statistically significant. The influence of steady-state uncertainty on interest rates is positive, but the level of significance depends on the inclusion of output gap. Without the inclusion of output gap, the effect is insignificant, whereas the effect becomes significant when output gap is introduced.Article A Maid Came Free: From Sighting To Citing in Tracy Chevalier's Girl With a Pearl Earring(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2018) Uzundemir, OzlemTracy Chevalier's ekphrastic novel Girl with a Pearl Earring explores the relationship between literature and art, as it narrates Jan Vermeer's paintings from the perspective of the story's narrator, Griet, who works as a maid in the Vermeers's house. In her fictional account, Griet gradually becomes the painter's assistant as well as his model, and subverts the gender issues in ekphrasis; the silent and gazed-upon female image in the eponymous painting gains a voice to critique Vermeer's art. This article will deal with Griet's transformation from a young maid into an art critic with respect to the issues in painting, namely colour, light and realistic representation, as well as the paragone between the viewing subject and the viewed object in ekphrasis.Article Citation - Scopus: 1Real Exchange Rates and Job Flows: Evidence From Turkey(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2018) Islam, M. Qamarul; Yazici, Mehmet; Dogan, ErgunThis study investigates the effects of the real exchange rate on job flows in Turkish manufacturing industries between 2006 and 2015 using data at the four-digit NACE Revision 2 level. Using dynamic panel data models, we find that a real appreciation increases gross and net job creation rates, and that the effect of appreciation is magnified as the exposure to international competitiveness of industries increases. We think that this is because Turkish manufacturing firms import a greater share of their inputs compared to the firms in developed countries. Hence, an appreciation creates more jobs because lower imported input costs enable firms to outcompete foreign producers.
