The current study aimed to explore the potential link between self-esteem memories, and possible selves of college students, in terms of content similarities. 99 college students from Middle East Technical University, Ankara were individually interviewed. The students received open-ended questions about their positive and negative self-esteem memories, and hoped-for and feared possible selves. Findings revealed that, regardless of the emotional tone, self-esteem memories mostly discussed interpersonal relationships, and possible selves, independent from emotional valence, mostly included achievement related themes. The only gender difference observed was, females provided significantly a higher number of communal themes both for their positive self-esteem memories, and hoped-for possible selves, compared to males did. The results were discussed in light of the current literature, and limitations and suggestions for future studies were presented.

The present research investigated attitudes of the university students towards the future, as well as the relation between future time orientations and self-construals. The sample consisted of 303 Middle East Technical University students with a mean age of 21. Four scales were administered to respondents: the Balanced Integration Differentiation Scale (BID) (Imamoglu, 1998, 2002), the Positive Future Expectation Scale (PFES) (Imamoglu, 2001), the Future Time Orientation Scale (FTO) (Gjesme, 1979), and 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 ...
Relational Understanding of the Derivative Concept through Mathematical Modeling: A Case Study
Sahin, Zulal; Yenmez, Arzu Aydogan; Erbaş, Ayhan Kürşat (2015-02-01)
The purpose of this study was to investigate three second-year graduate students' awareness and understanding of the relationships among the "big ideas" that underlie the concept of derivative through modeling tasks and Skemp's distinction between relational and instrumental understanding. The modeling tasks consisting of warm-up, model-eliciting, and model-exploration activities were used to stimulate participants to reflect and construct ideas about the concept of change. The data indicated that the parti...
