Culture and media entertainment: A cross-cultural exploration of hedonic and eudaimonic entertainment motivations
Odag, Oezen; Ulug, Ozden Melis; Arslan, Hilal; Schiefer, David (SAGE Publications, 2018-11-01)
Recent studies have juxtaposed hedonic forms of media entertainment motivations (seeking for pleasure and fun) with eudaimonic forms (seeking for insights into the human condition). As most of this research was confined to the Western world so far, this contribution explores the impact of culture on hedonic and eudaimonic media entertainment motivations. Culture is conceptualized on both macro- and micro levels of analysis. On the macro level of countries, the study draws of Hofstede's concept of individual...
Bargaining in legislatures over private and public goods with endogenous recognition
Genc, Hakan; Küçükşenel, Serkan (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-12-01)
This paper studies a sequential model of multilateral bargaining under majority rule in which legislators make decisions in both private and public good dimensions via an endogenous recognition process.

We show that legislators exert unproductive effort to be the proposer and make proposals in both dimensions depending on legislative preferences. Effort choices in equilibrium depen...

Military Expenditures, Income Inequality, Welfare and Political Regimes: A Dynamic Panel Data Analysis
Tongur, Unal; Elveren, Adem Y. (Informa UK Limited; 2015-01-02)
The goal of this paper is to investigate the relationship between type of welfare regimes and military expenditures.

There appear to be, however, no empirical studies that examine welfare regimes with special attention to military spending. This study aims at providing a comprehensive analysis on the topic by considering several different welfare regime typologies. To do so, we use dy...
Behavioral relevance of consciousness for human action: explorations with the simon task paradigm
Gök, Selvi Elif; Hohenberger, Annette Edeltraud; Department of Cognitive Sciences (2016)
The motivation of this thesis is to investigate whether consciousness has an effect on human behaviors. To this aim an exploratory approach is adopted where an experimental design with two parts is developed. In the first part, participants are first presented objects moving to the left or to the right in accordance with a rule (i.e. familiarization phase), and then transferred to a subsequent two-choice stimulus-response task for stimuli presented at the center of the screen (i.e. Simon phase). Although th...
