We aimed to explore the concept of coregulation in adulthood based on the analyses of vocal cues in conversations. Moderators which potentially affect vocal coordination between romantic partners were also examined. Twenty- four heterosexual dating couples (Mage = 21.25; SD = 1.03) from Cornell University were recruited for the Study. Participants communicated with their romantic and stranger partner in a balanced order. Their conversations were recorded and vocal features were extracted. Granger-causality analyses yielded that close partner conversations were bidirectional, signifying that female participants’ previous F0 responses caused male participants’ subsequent F0 responses and vice versa. In the stranger partner conversations, however, only female participants’ previous F0 responses caused male participants’ subsequent F0 responses, implying that there was unidirectional association between stranger partners. In sum, findings suggested that coregulation process can be observed at the vocal level using synchronous speech patterns. Implications for attachment-in-the-making between romantic partners and the literature on behavioral mimicry were discussed.

Vocal synchrony as a coregulation indicator of attachment bonds Harma, Mehmet; Sümer, Nebi; Hazan, Cynthia; Department of Psychology (2014) This dissertation aims to explore the concept of coregulation in adulthood based on the analyses of vocal cues in conversations. Moderators which potentially affect vocal coordination between romantic partners were also examined. Twenty-four heterosexual dating couples (Mage = 21.25; SD = 1.03) from Cornell University were recruited for the Study-1. Participants communicated with their romantic and stranger partner in a balanced order. Their conversations were recorded and vocal features were extracted. Gra...
The Effect of background media on early childhood language development Karakaya, Seçil; Kazak Berument, Sibel; Department of Psychology (2018) The current study aimed to investigate the background media effect on toddlers’ language development and also the moderator role of child temperamental characteristics namely inhibitory control, attention shifting, attention focusing and perceptual sensitivity. In total, 100 mothers of children between the ages of 16-26 months (Mage = 20.18 months) participated. Two home visits were made. In the first visit, mothers filled out the Early Childhood Behavior Questionnaire (ECBQ) to assess the child temperament...
The effects of asking referential questions on the participation and oral production of lower level language learners in reading classes Özcan, Seda; Gürbüz, Nurdan; Department of English Language Teaching (2010) This study aims at investigating the effect of asking referential questions on the oral participation and production of lower level language learners in reading classes. The main purpose of the study is to inquire whether the reticence of lower level language learners to participate in lessons due to their poor language ability could be overcome by asking questions that require their opinions and comments, rather than solely answering questions to display their comprehension. For this purpose an action rese...
The Relationship between EFL Learners’ Language Learning Strategy Use, Willingness to Communicate, and L2 Achievement Demir Ayaz, Aycan (null; 2017-04-18) This study aimed to explore the interactions between EFL learners’ language learning strategy use, willingness to communicate (WTC), and L2 achievement. To do so, a quantitative study was conducted with 79 tertiary level EFL learners. These participants were prep-class students from two different state universities, and they were having intensive language courses during that one-year education. Data were collected using a 70-item composite instrument. To measure language learning strategy use of the partici...
