We tested the hypothesis that, when trying to decide whether the person, stimulus, or circumstance is the cause of an event, individuals increasingly select schema-consistent information with increasing age. Schema-consistent information selections include distinctiveness for person, consensus for stimulus, and consistency for circumstance. 9-, 12-, 15-, and 17-year-old subjects took part in the study. The results showed that age differences in schema-consistent information selections parallel the development of person, stimulus, and circumstance schemata reported elsewhere. The Rholes and Walters explanation of the role of consensus information in the late development of the stimulus schema appears to be justified.

Psychometric properties of the brief verision of the fear of negative evaluation scale in a Turkish sample
Koydemir, Selda; Demir, Ayhan Gürbüz (SAGE Publications, 2007-06-01)
The purpose of the study was to report initial data on the psychometric properties of the Brief Fear of Negative Evaluation Scale. The scale was applied to a nonclinical sample of 250 (137 women, 113 men) Turkish undergraduate students selected randomly from Middle East Technical University. Their mean age was 20.4 yr. (SD 1.9). The factor structure of the Turkish version, its criterion validity, and internal reliability coefficients were assessed. Although maximum likelihood factor analysis initially indic...
The preditive validity of Başkent University proficiency exam (BUEPE) through the use of the three-parameter IRT model's ability estimates
Yeğin, Oya Perim; Berberoğlu, Halil Giray; Department of Educational Sciences (2003)
The purpose of the present study is to investigate the predictive validity of the BUEPE through the use of the three-parameter IRT model̕s ability estimates. The study made use of the BUEPE September 2000 data which included the responses of 699 students. The predictive validity was established by using the departmental English courses (DEC) passing grades of a total number of 371 students. As for the prerequisite analysis the best fitted model of IRT was determined by first, checking the assumptions of IRT...
Indirect Relationship between Egoistic Relative Deprivation and Subjective Well-Being
ÖZDEMİR, FATİH; Tekes, Burcu; Öner Özkan, Bengi (2019-01-01)
The present study investigates the possible variables that explain subjective well-being based on Relative Deprivation Theory. In this regard, the first purpose of the study is to focus on the qualitative characteristic of the desired outcome and examine whether the types of material and emotional egoistic relative deprivation exhibit a differentiated relationship with subjective well-being. The second purpose is to test the possible mediating role of perceived intrinsic strength and perceived extrinsic str...
Stochastic modeling of accident risks associated with an underground coal mine in Turkey
Sari, Mehmet; Kestel, Sevtap Ayşe; Karpuz, Celal; Duzgun, H. Sebnem B. (2009-01-01)
In this study, a methodology is proposed towards development of all uncertainty model that includes randomness in the occurrence of days-lost accidents in a coal mine. The accident/injury data consists of 1390 days-lost accident cases recorded at GLI-Tuncbilek underground lignite mine from January 1994 to December 2002. In the first step of proposed methodology, the frequency and the severity of the accidents have been modeled statistically by fitting appropriate distributions. The test done by BestFit soft...
THE ROLE OF SENSE OF COHERENCE AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY IN POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE AFFECT OF TURKISH ADOLESCENTS
Oztekin, Ceyda; Tezer, Esin (2009-06-01)
This study investigated the role of sense of coherence and total physical activity in positive and negative affect. Participants were 376 (169 female, 206 male, and 1 missing value) student volunteers from different faculties of Middle East Technical University. Three questionnaires: Sense of Coherence Scale (SOC), Physical Activity Assessment Questionnaire (PAAQ), and Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS) were administered to the students together with the demographic information sheet. Two separat...
