The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of two different modes of feedback on the reactions of supervisors (raters) and subordinates (ratees) and also on the performance of the subordinates. Using a quasi-experimental design, 77 supervisors giving feedback and 71 subordinates receiving feedback participated in the study. Supervisors were assigned to either Written Plus Verbal Feedback Condition or Verbal Feedback Condition. After receiving a general performance appraisal training and a feedback training (i.e., written plus verbal or written only feedback training), supervisors in each condition gave feedback to their subordinates consistent with their training. Performance of the subordinates was measured both before and two months after the feedback. Results indicated that the supervisors who had given written plus verbal feedback found the feedback process more effective and were more satisfied with it than the supervisors in the written feedback condition. However neither the reactions nor the job performance of the subordinates in the two feedback conditions differed significantly from each other Despite the lack of a significant difference, subordinates in both conditions reported favorable reactions toward the feedback.

Transfer of Learning on a Spatial Memory Task between the Blind and Sighted People AKPINAR, SELÇUK; Popovic, Stevo; Kirazcı, Sadettin (2012-12-01) The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of two different types of feedback on a spatial memory task between the blind and blindfolded-sighted participants. Participants tried to estimate the predetermined distance by using their dominant hands. Both blind and blindfolded-sighted groups were randomly divided into two feedback subgroups as "100% frequency" and "10% bandwidth". The score of the participants was given verbally to the participants as knowledge of results (KR). The target distance was...
A Meta-Analysis of the Effectiveness of Randomized Controlled Positive Psychological Interventions on Subjective and Psychological Well-Being Koydemir, Selda; Soekmez, Asli Bugay; Schuetz, Astrid (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-01-02) We conducted a meta-analysis to analyze the effects of randomized controlled positive psychological interventions on subjective and psychological well-being. Our aim was to extend previous research by following a more comprehensive approach in the selection of studies, by including new moderators, by focusing on adult nonclinical populations and increases in well-being, and by comparing the effects of interventions targeting subjective and psychological well-being (i.e., hedonism or eudemonia) or a combinat...

EFFECTS OF VERBAL AND VISUAL FEEDBACK ON ANTICIPATION TIMING Kirazcı, Sadettin (2013-01-01) My purpose in this study was to examine the effect of verbal and visual feedback on an anticipation-timing task during a series of acquisition and retention trials. Participants were 48 high school students who were randomly assigned to visual-visual, visual-verbal, verbal-visual, and verbal-verbal conditions. I used a Bassin Anticipation Timer to measure coincidence-anticipation timing. Absolute error and variable error were calculated for 4 blocks of 10 trials in the acquisition phases, and 2 blocks of 10...
