The present study was designed as a mixed method study, and was built upon two data sets, one of which was quantitative and the other qualitative. The first study aims to emphasize resourcefulness factors in schema theory from a positive psychology perspective, and emotion regulation and self-compassion were utilized as the indicators of the healthy adult mode. The data was gathered from 296 adults (179 female, 117 male). Accordingly, the mediator roles of self-compassion and emotion regulation were examined via Hayes‟ procedure for parallel multiple mediation. Thus, emotion regulation and self-compassion altogether mediated the relation between all three schema domains and well-being. More importantly, selfcompassion was identified as more critical than emotional regulation in terms of life satisfaction, whereas, emotion regulation was more critical in terms of psychopathological symptoms. The second study was like using a magnifying glass to understand the dynamics of the people who scored high in the disconnection/rejection domain. It is aimed to identify themes represented in memory narratives of the participants. In order to trigger related memories, Bernstein Schema Mode Cards were utilized and the results were analyzed via deductive qualitative content analysis using MAXQDA. The second study includes interviews of 10 (5 female, 5 male) participants who were chosen considering the similarity of their high scores in the disconnectionrejection domain, as well as their age and gender. Accordingly, the frequency of EMS themes were more balanced across schemas when a quantitative assessment was applied to the qualitative data.

Conjoint Use of Regression Analysis and Functional Measurement to Test Models of Combination of Factors Predicting Negative Attitude to Women
Bugay, Asli; Delevi, Rakel; Mullet, Etienne (Editorial Pontificia Universidad Javeriana, 2019-01-01)
The present study was aimed at showing that by conjointly using two techniques that are rarely used in combination - regression analysis and functional measurement, it may be possible to rigorously tests models of combination of factors using data obtained in traditional multi-item/multi-scale surveys. The data used for this demonstration were taken from a large survey (N = 3,235) of Turkish students' attitude to women (ATW). As it included 12 types of predictors (e.g., age, geographic location, score on co...
Predicting undergraduate students' mathematical thinking about derivative concept: A multilevel analysis of personal and institutional factors
Aydin, Utkun; Ubuz, Behiye (Elsevier BV, 2014-05-01)
This cross-sectional study examines the determinants of mathematical thinking aspects at two levels: within-classroom level and between-classroom level. We hypothesized that personal factors (gender, socioeconomic status (parents' educational attainment), current cumulative grade point average, prior mathematic achievement (high school mathematics achievement)) and institutional factors (faculty/school affiliation, grade level) have concomitant associations with students' mathematical thinking about the der...
Convergence Error and Higher-Order Sensitivity Estimations
Eyi, Sinan (2012-10-01)
The aim of this study is to improve the accuracy of the finite-difference sensitivities of differential equations solved by iterative methods. New methods are proposed to estimate the convergence error and higher-order sensitivities. The convergence error estimation method is based on the eigenvalue analysis of linear systems, but it can also be used for nonlinear systems. The higher-order sensitivities are calculated by differentiating the approximately constructed differential equation with respect to the...
Visual perspective in causal attribution, empathy and attitude change
Onder, OM; Öner Özkan, Bengi (SAGE Publications, 2003-12-01)
The aim of the present study was to test the effect of visual perspective on the actor-observer bias. For this aim, we examined the effects of different visual perspectives on individuals' external and internal attributions. In addition to this, we examined the presence or absence of an attitude change toward the death penalty due to participants' visual perspective. One week before the experiment, we measured the participants' attitudes toward the death penalty. Then, during the experiment, films produced ...
On the Problem of Interpretation Concerning the Contemporary Philosophy of Biology
Birgül, Osman Gazi (2019-06-01)
In the first part of the study, I discuss three methodological problems of the interpretation of the biological data, namely subjectivity of perspective, anthropocentrism of jargon and perspective-orientation of the studies. Then, I defend intentionality of moral acts against the functionalist morality, emphasizing the interpretation of the observations on animal behavior cannot assume that animals have intentionality. In the second part, I review the ambiguity problem of the traits in the heritability stud...
