Item Restricted American Scientist Interviews; Peter Salovey(1990) Morgan, PhilipItem Restricted Bir uyarı ?(1988) Çutsay, AdaletItem Open Access Color, emotion and behavioral intentions in city hotel guestrooms(2016-06) Yar, SelinThe aim of this study is to explore the effect of colors on people’s emotional states and behavioral intentions in a real world city hotel guestroom. The conceptual framework of the study is based on the Mehrabian- Russell model that suggests that an environmental stimulus from physical environments would create an emotional state which would then elicit behavioral intentions. A field study approach is used and conducted with three different sample groups for three different colors which are blue, yellow and grey. The study is carried out in two phases. This experimental procedure is repeated for each color scheme in the same hotel guestroom with different participants. The results indicate that blue and yellow are associated with pleasure and arousal, whereas grey color evokes displeasure and no arousal. Moreover, yellow and blue are found to reveal approach behavior, while the color grey is found to evoke avoidance behavior in city hotel guestrooms. In addition to these, it is shown that there is a positive relationship between pleasure and approach behavior and between arousal and approach behavior. The results of this study can be useful for interior architects, designers and hoteliers who put emphasis on touching guests’ emotions and behavioral intentions to meet guest expectations, enhance hotelier’s satisfaction and guest’s loyalty.Item Open Access Design factors: the impact of facility aesthetics and layout accessibility on customers' emotions and behavioral intentions in hotel lobbies(2016-06) Şahiner, FuldenThe aim of the study is to emphasis the effect of physical environment of interior space on customer's emotions and behavioral intentions at hotel lobbies. Relevant literature in environmental psychology and marketing was reviewed, and conceptual scheme was proposed. Facility aesthetics and layout accessibility were based on servicescape dimensions and categorical dimension approach was used for analyzing customers' emotions, and behavioral intentions were highlighted for this study. A field study approach was used in this study and a survey was conducted with 78 customers of Eyüboğlu Hotel, located in Ankara. Multiple regression analyses were used, and the findings indicated that there is a positive relationship between facility aesthetics and layout accessibility with positive emotions. Moreover, results proved that positive emotions and facility aesthetics have positive relationship with behavioral intentions.Item Restricted Dimensions of Microinteraction(1990) Kemper, TheodoreItem Open Access Effects of soccer on stock markets: the return-volatility relationship(Pergamon Press, 2012) Berument, Hakan; Ceylan, N. B.This paper assesses the effects of domestic soccer teams' performances against foreign rivals on stock market returns as well as on the return-volatility relationship. Data from Chile, Spain, Turkey and the United Kingdom support propositions that soccer teams results in international cups affect stock market returns and the return-volatility relationship. Evidence from Spain and the UK, soccer powerhouses, suggests that losses are associated with lower returns and higher risk aversion but evidence from Chile and Turkey, where soccer is the most important sport but teams are not as successful, reveals that wins are associated with higher returns and lower risk aversion.

We examine the circulation of Kurdish music cassettes in Turkey during the restrictive and strife-laden period of the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s. We find that the practices comprising circulation - recording, hiding, playing, and exchanging cassettes - constituted tactical resistance and generated communal imaginaries. We illuminate the "emotional economy" that is animated by a mundane object: the cassette, through its circulation, becomes saturated with emotions, establishes shared emotional repertoires, and habituates individuals and collectives into common emotional dispositions. Cassettes thus play a part in shaping and reinforcing an emotional habitus that accompanies the emergence of a sense of "us," the delineation of the "other," and the relationship between the two. We thus demonstrate the entwinement of materiality and emotions, and examine how this entwinement generates emotional structures that shape and perpetuate the imagining of community as well as the enactment of resistance.Item Restricted How Many Emotions Are There ? Wedding the Social and the Autonomic Components(1987) Kemper, Theodore D.Item Open Access The Influence of DINESCAPE on emotions and behavioral intentions of customers(2015-07) Yekanialibeiglou, SepidehThis study explores the impacts of physical environmental items (DINESCAPE) on emotions and behavioral intentions of customers at an upscale restaurant. The theoretical framework is grounded on the Mehrabian- Russell model which suggests that any environment will evoke one of the three emotional states: pleasure, arousal, and dominance. A field study approach is used in this study and conducted with 152 participants who were dining at a restaurant. Among upscale restaurants in Ankara, two branches of Midpoint chain restaurants were selected as the case study to evaluate the influence of the DINESCAPE items in evoking emotional states that have an impact on behavioral intentions of customers. Using the multiple regression analysis, the findings indicated that the facility aesthetic has a positive effect on arousal dimension; layout on arousal and dominance dimensions; table set up on pleasure dimension; and ambience on pleasure and dominance dimensions. Furthermore, the results indicated that table set up and ambience dimensions of DINESCAPE have a direct influence on behavioral intentions. Among customer emotions, pleasure and dominance dimensions were the significant determinants of behavioral intentions.Item Open Access A new outlook on the problem of natural kind status of emotions(2020-06) Küçük, KardelenThis thesis deals with the question of whether emotions are natural kinds or not. Those who take a negative stance in this ongoing debate argue that the emotion categories that scientists make use of are not appropriate for scientific investigations on the grounds that they are not natural kinds. On the other hand, some argue that emotions, at least basic emotions, are natural kinds and the existing emotion categories are viable for scientific investigation. At the beginning of thesis, I will introduce sensation-based theories of emotion and glance at what the constitutive components of emotions might be. Thenceforth, I will examine natural and nonnatural kinds to illustrate what kind of criteria for natural kinds can be settled. In light of this information, I will show what the experimental data purports about the natural kind status of emotions. As a last step, to answer the main question of the thesis, I will assert that we have to distinguish between emotions and emotional sensations. I will contend that emotional sensations, which I take to be the cores of emotions, might be accepted to be natural kinds since they are less subject to environmental and personal factors, compared to emotions. However, I will take an agnostic stance regarding the question whether this claim can be scientifically proven or not.Item Open Access Novice native english-speaking teachers’ professional identity construction in relation to their emotions and tensions(2016-05) Gedik, Pınar KocabaşThis longitudinal, case study aimed to examine the professional teacher identity construction of novice native English-speaking teachers (NESTs) working in an EFL setting. Thus, this study explored two American novice NESTs’ experiences and reflections in terms of their emotions and tensions throughout their professional teacher identity construction in the preparatory school of a foundation university in Turkey. Data were collected over a six-month-period through three qualitative data collection instruments: journal entries, semi-structured follow-up interviews and field notes. As for the data analysis procedure, open-coding was first employed to separately identify the emergent codes in two datasets coming from two participants’ narratives and the field notes and to construct categories and themes, and then axial coding was applied to the all categories and themes on hand to obtain overall findings. The study revealed three major findings: a) Novice NESTs’ educational background in the field of English language teaching (ELT), local language competence and professional support services in the institution may lower NESTs’ tension and yield less negative emotions, which can make novice NESTs’ process of professional identity construction more positive and easier in return, b) Tensions can be more manageable in EFL contexts when novice NESTs set career goals to realize themselves as professional teachers of English, and c) Emotions seem to be in a state of flux, however; too many lived experiences of negative emotions might hinder novice NESTs’ professional identity construction and their imagined identities as language teachers. To conclude, the aforementioned findings suggested that novice NESTs’ tensions and emotions may facilitate or hinder their investment within community of practice and accordingly shape their professional teacher identity construction. In line with this conclusion, the study presented several suggestions for future research and pedagogical implications for novice NESTs, administrators and local non-native English-speaking teachers (NNESTs) in EFL contexts.Item Open Access Posidonius on emotionsand non-conceptual content(Society for the Advancement of Philosophy, Zagreb, Croatia, 2011) Wringe, B.In this paper I argue that the work of the unorthodox Stoic Posidonius - as reported to us by Galen - can be seen as making an interesting contribution to contemporary debates about the nature of emotion. Richard Sorabji has already argued that Posidonius' contribution highlights the weaknesses in some well-known contemporary forms of cognitivism. Here I argue that Posidonius might be seen as advocating a theory of the emotions which sees them as being, in at least some cases, two-level intentional phenomena. One level involves judgments, just as the orthodox Stoic account does. But Posidonius thinks that emotions must also include an element sometimes translated as an "irrational tug". I suggest that we see the "irrational tug" as involving a second level of intentional, but non-conceptual representation. This view satisfies two desiderata: it is a viewwhich would have been available to Posidonius and which is compatible with the views reported to us; and it is a view which is independently attractive. It also makes Posidonius' position less far removed from that of orthodox Stoics than it might otherwise do, while remaining genuinely innovative.Item Open Access The role of emotion word use in perceived responsiveness during getting acquainted interactions(2019-07) Çiftçi, ÖyküPast research has showed that perceived responsiveness (i.e., the extent to which people think that their relationship partners understand, care for, and appreciate them) is positively associated with individual and relational well-being. However, predictors of responsiveness were not extensively investigated. Researchers predominantly investigated stable individual differences as predictors of responsiveness and ignored dynamic factors such as language use and time. In addition, perceived responsiveness was mostly studied in the context of close relationships even though responsiveness is an important construct for less intimate relationships. To fill these gaps, the current study examined the role of emotion word use in perceived responsiveness during getting acquainted interactions. Female participants (N = 200) were instructed to engage in three 15-minute interactions in pairs, in which they took turns in reading aloud and answering given sets of questions. These interactions were video-recorded and transcribed into text files to capture participants’ emotion word use via a computerized text analysis program. After each interaction, participants reported their interaction partner’s responsiveness. Results of multilevel analyses revealed that participants who used a greater number of positive emotion words during interactions also perceived their interaction partner as more responsive. In addition, as time went by, participants perceived their partner as more responsive. However, negative emotion word usage did not significantly predict perceived responsiveness of the interaction partner. These findings contribute to the responsiveness literature by revealing that dynamic interpersonal factors such as emotion word use during a live interaction and time play a role in perceived responsiveness of newly acquainted individuals.Item Open Access The role of emotions during the Arab Spring in Tunisia and Egypt in light of repertoires(Routledge, 2019-02) Coşkun, Efser RanaThis article examines the role of emotions during the Arab Spring in Tunisia and Egypt in the context of collective level emotions in mobilizations. Emotions are understood as a catalyst whose mechanism of action is performed through repertories. This article seeks to answer how emotions, having a triggering role, are performed through repertoires while accelerating mobilization against authoritarian orders, creating the intersection of individual and collective level emotions in public spheres of Tunisia and Egypt, and thus affecting the transnational diffusion of emotions. The significant reason to address emotions is to explain what stimulated the Arab Spring and how it spread over the region starting from Tunisia and Egypt. This article synthesizes two literatures: International Relations (IR) and social movements studies in light of emotions and components of repertoires which are as follows: collective action, collective identity, symbolic politics, network society and information politics.Item Restricted Romancı günlüğü : Kıskanmak(1982) Seyda, MehmetItem Open Access Social distance and affective orientations(Wiley-Blackwell Publishing, Inc., 2009) Karakayali, N.Most groups have social distance norms that differentiate "us" from "them." Contrary to a widespread assumption in the sociological literature, however, these normative distinctions, even when they are collectively recognized, do not always overlap with the affective orientations of group members in a uniform manner. Relations between normatively close members of a group are not always warm and friendly, and normatively distant groups can sometimes be an object of reverence and love. In this study, a typology of five different ways in which normatively distant groups can be perceived is presented: as competitors, allies, symbols of otherness, saviors, and ambivalent figures. Each type tends to emerge under certain circumstances and triggers different affective orientations. This typology is not a substitute for a general theory, but it aims to provide preliminary insights for investigating why affective orientations toward normatively distant groups take different forms and, more generally, to motivate further inquiry into the relationships between different dimensions of social distance. © 2009 Eastern Sociological Society.Item Open Access To share or not to share? How emotional judgments drive online political expression in high-risk contexts(SAGE Publishing, 2020) Dal, Ayşenur; Nisbet, E. C.Previous scholarship on networked authoritarianism has examined an array of repressive legal and political strategies employed by regimes to constrain online political expression. How the tension between citizens’ desires to engage in online political expression and the possible dire consequences of doing so is resolved, however, is understudied. We address this lacuna by drawing upon concepts from risk and decision-making research and examining how the emotional and cognitive components of risk and decision-making shape citizens’ online political expression. Employing a three-wave panel survey of Turkish internet users collected over 8 months, our fixed-effects regression analyzes show that anticipatory emotions drive expressive behavior, but that risk assessment does not. Furthermore, the influence of negative emotions on online expression is moderated by individuals’ degree of regime opposition. We discuss the importance of understanding the psychological mechanisms by which networked authoritarian contexts influences citizens’ decisions to engage in contentious online speech.
