This article offers an alternative methodological approach to the exploration of subjective experiences by studying individuals' personal views of perceived colours. The study aims to investigate the construals of individuals related to perceived colours using an idiographic approach. The subjective approach proposed is based on the theory of personal construct psychology and the methodology of the repertory grid technique. A repertory grid experiment was conducted to determine individuals' ways of construing colours and examine the collective understanding of the content and structure of individuals' construals concerning perceived colours. Sixty undergraduate students participated in the experiment, yielding 60 different repertory grids that included a number of personal constructs indicating the construal process of participants in differentiating between 11 basic colours. Participants produced their own semantic bipolar dimensions for comparing the perceived colours and creating differential ratings according to their personal constructs. The elicited data were evaluated using qualitative content analysis to understand the differences between individual systems of constructs and investigate the commonality of shared constructs relating to colours. The data were also analyzed quantitatively to investigate the common structure of and interrelationship between elicited constructs and perceived colours. The outcomes have the potential to contribute to academic and practical knowledge concerning colour perception, as well as encouraging further studies with an idiographic approach.

Construing product materials: developing senso-attitudinal maps through repertory grid technique Derviş, Barış; Börekçi, Naz Ayşe Güzide Z.; Department of Industrial Design (2021-1-6) Designing material and product experiences is a complex process that requires a comprehensive understanding over subjective dimensions such as cultural and psychological backgrounds of the individual, multisensory relations, and product contexts. It is becoming more essential for a designer to understand how materials are perceived. There is a growing need for designers to achieve information sources that represent idiosyncratic data of the user anticipations towards perceived material qualities in particul...
Understanding the Complexity of Value and Its Co constitution in a Global Network Insights from a Global Fashion Brand Value Constitution Context Karababa, Eminegül (2015-06-01) This study problematizes the conceptualization of brand value formation process which is rooted in the productionist and economistic perspectives. Juxtaposition of different economıc systems such asthe traditional capitalist economy, the sign economy and thenew ethical economy and their value logics in contemporary global economic system necessitates shifts in the perspective on value formation. Utilizing a case study of value creation process of a British iconic fashion brand, we demonstrate that brand val...
Duration, Temporality, and Freedom: Self- Creation in Bergson and Sartre Yılmaz, Reyhan; Çırakman, Elif; Department of Philosophy (2022-9-8) This study aims to explore how freedom should be understood in terms of spontaneity from the perspectives of philosophy of life and phenomenology. In this context, it concentrates on Bergson’s and Sartre’s notions of freedom in relation to their qualitative understanding of time which stands for a central motif in their philosophy. Beyond the theories of determinism and free will that discuss freedom under the conception of time as successive series of ‘nows’, freedom implies the self-creative activity of l...
The effect of inquiry based chemistry course on students' understanding of atom concept, learning approaches, motivation, self efficacy, and epistemological beliefs Çalışkan, İlmiye Sevilay; Geban, Ömer; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2004) The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of inquiry-based high school chemistry course and gender differences with respect to students̕ understanding of atom concept, learning approaches, motivational goals, self-efficacy, and epistemological beliefs. In this study, 47 ninth grade students from classes of a chemistry course were taught by the same teacher in Private Yüce Science High School in the 2003-2004-spring semester were enrolled. There were two groups in the study. Two instruction method...
A design-based research on shared metacognition through the community of inquiry framework in online collaborative learning environments Ataş, Amine Hatun; Yıldırım, Zahide; Department of Computer Education and Instructional Technology (2021-2-02) This study advances the emerging research on shared metacognition through the lens of the Community of Inquiry Framework. It seeks components and utterances of the community of inquiry and shared metacognition in online collaborative learning environments to bring to the fore an instructional design model and instructional design principles. A three-cycle Design-Based Research method was followed in two cases of university students (associate degree and graduate degree) by triangulating quantitative and qua...
