    Development and use of theory of mind in social and cultural context
    (The Society for Research in Child Development (SRCD), 2022-12-15) Selçuk, Bilge; Gönültaş, Seçil; Ekerim-Akbulut, Müge
    Theory of mind (ToM) is a key social-cognitive skill that allows individuals to understand and attribute mental states to others; it facilitates relationships and helps individuals navigate the social world. Thus, it is likely influenced by social and cultural contexts. In this article, we review studies that examine the potential ways through which sociocultural context interacts with the development and use of ToM in Western and non-Western societies. First, we summarize findings documenting the link between culture and timing of ToM acquisition. Second, we examine cross-cultural studies on how culture can be related to the sequential development of different dimensions of ToM. Third, we discuss when and how cultural group membership of the targets influences the use of ToM. Finally, we suggest avenues for research so the field can understand more comprehensively the dynamic interactions between sociocultural context and the development and use of ToM.

    Mark A. May: scientific administrator, human engineer
    (Sage Publications Ltd., 2015) Bryson, D.
    Underappreciated by historians of the human sciences, educational psychologist Mark A. May played a key role in managing and formulating the policy of the Institute of Human Relations at Yale University, initially as the institute’s executive secretary, then as its director, from 1930 to 1960. Moreover, during the 1920s, the 1930s and after, he participated in a number of conferences, seminars, committees and other projects sponsored by the Social Science Research Council and Rockefeller philanthropic organizations. Focusing on May’s efforts during the interwar period, this article will examine how May worked to advance an integrated program in the psychological and social sciences affiliated with the field of personality and culture. For May, a human engineering agenda geared toward the socialization and education of the individual was intimately connected to his vision of interdisciplinary social science.

    ODTÜ’nün omurgası “ALLE”nin kampüsle olan bağı ve gelişimi
    (Bilkent University, 2021) Güngen, Beyza Mira; Özzade, Aslı Selin; Kaya, Zeynep Ayça; Çakır, Semih Kaan
    Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi, bilimsel ve teknik sahalarda ileri bir eğitim hizmeti vermek ve bulunduğu bölgeyi kalkındırmak amacıyla 1956 yılında Ankara’da Orta Doğu Teknoloji Enstitüsü adıyla kurulmuş ve daha sonra üniversite haline gelmiştir. ODTÜ, eğitim hayatına TBMM’nin yakınlarındaki barakalarda başlamış ve büyüdükçe barakaların yetersiz gelmesi sonucu Ankara’daki şimdiki yerleşkesine yerleşmiştir. ODTÜ Ankara Kampüsü kuzey-güney doğrultusundaki bir eksen üzerine oturtulmuş olup, kampüs kurulduğu günden bugüne dek “Alle” olarak adlandırılan ve kampüsün omurgası olarak görülen bu eksen üzerinde gelişmiştir. Binaları, yapıları, heykelleri, yeşil alanları ve diğer açık mekanları üzerinde/etrafında barındıran “Alle” birçok sosyal, siyasi ve kültürel olayların merkezi olmuştur.

    (2010) Gökakın, Behice Özlem
    This dissertation analyzes the Ottoman Empire’s relationship with European international society in the nineteenth century through the English School of International Relations Theory. By use of primary and secondary sources, this dissertation attempts to refine some of the historical arguments of the English School in reference to the expansion of European international society and the socialization of non-European states. By focusing on the Ottoman perspective, this dissertation presents a critical understanding of European international society and its expansion from a non-European perspective.

    Religious communities and the marketplace: learning and performing consumption in an Islamic network
    (Sage Publications, 2013) Karataş, M.; Sandıkcı, Ö.
    Sociopolitical analyses of religion evidence the increasing prominence of religious communities across the world. However, existing work on religion-consumption interaction focuses mostly on the personal effects of religion and examines how religion and religious ideologies influence individual decision making, choice, and purchase and shopping behaviors. In this study, we focus on the collective experiences of religion and unpack the multiple ways consumption shapes and is shaped by a communal religious ethos. Through an ethnographic study of a Turkish-based Islamic community, we show that consumption plays important roles in attracting individuals to the community, socializing them to the communal ethos, and drawing symbolic boundaries between the community members and outsiders. We also discuss how the communal religious ethos shapes consumption practices and brand relationships of members and influences the marketplace dynamics.

    Social, cognitive, and social cognitive influences on children’s lie-telling
    (2023-08) Dönmez, Ferhan Kübra
    Lie-telling as a verbal form of deception may involve intentionally implanting false information in the mind of others. Lie-telling and the subsequent ability to maintain them (i.e., semantic leakage control) were examined to understand their developmental trajectory and the influences behind these capacities. One hundred twenty-one parent-child dyads (aged 3-to-6-year-olds) participated. Children were tested on inhibitory control, false belief, and a lie-telling task. Parents were measured on their use of lying to their children to control behavior, explicit socialization of lie-telling, and more general parenting practices. To test children's lie-telling abilities, they were instructed not to peek at a toy in the experimenter's absence; later, they were asked: whether they peeked (initial lie-telling), the toy's identity, and how they knew the identity if they answered correctly. Children's initial lie-telling behavior did not change with age; however, older children showed significantly higher semantic leakage control. Inhibitory control was not associated with lie-telling. Additionally, false belief understanding was not related to lie-telling behavior, but children with higher levels of semantic leakage control had greater false belief understanding. However, when controlled for age, this relation became nonsignificant. Finally, none of the parenting variables predicted semantic leakage control. However, aspects of parental socialization (i.e., encouragement and modeling of lie-telling, problematic lying, and consequences for lying) predicted lie-telling behavior. These findings suggest that children might be influenced by parental socialization of lie-telling for their decision to lie; however, their ability to maintain these lies may rely more heavily on their cognitive and social cognitive capacities.

    U.S. involvement in military coups d'état in Turkey and Pakistan during the cold war : between conspiracy and reality
    (2016-12) Aslan, Ömer
    The external dimension of military coups d’état has hitherto remained an understudied subject in civil-military relations. It has either fallen victim to conspiracies or been entirely sidelined as a non-issue. The objective of this research is to conceptualize the ‘role’ played by the United States in four military coups d’état in Turkey and Pakistan. In order to broach a detailed discussion of US role in 1958 and 1977 coups in Pakistan and 1960 and 1980 coups in Turkey, this dissertation brings in military-to-military relations in order to complement civil-military relations. This study also brings into the analysis ‘socialization’ through military training and education programs offered by the United States and international organizations such as NATO, which supposedly function as ‘socializing platforms’ as underexplored subjects in civil-military relations. This study considers ‘signalling’ as an important conceptual tool to understand U.S. reaction, thereby U.S. role in, to military coups d’état. The study finds that while the trigger for coups d’état remained local, the coupists considered it very important to receive U.S. endorsement. It also shows that the US supported all four coups nonetheless, though in different ways. It argues that military training and education programs and NATO membership did not socialize Turkish generals into democratic norms but allowed detailed knowledge of Turkish and Pakistani armed forces and facilitated smoother transition to post-coup period.
