The current research was part of a larger project, funded by the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TUBITAK), examining the link between psychosocial factors and health-related outcomes. A pilot study showed that the items could adequately be used, and bivariate relationships were consistent with the hypotheses. In Study 1, the hypotheses were examined in a representative sample of the Turkish population. Bonding and linking aspects were positively related to SRH; however, bridging aspect and interaction between bonding and linking aspects were not related to SRH. In Study 1, a follow-up analysis was conducted to examine the same hypotheses using a multilevel modeling framework accounting for the interdependency between different regions where individuals are nested in those regions of Turkey. A theory-driven variable, i.e., income inequality, was added as a region-level predictor in the analysis. Findings showed that there could be regional discrepancies in terms of social capital dimensions and SRH. In Study 2, I aimed to examine the same relationship patterns to see whether those patterns would be consistent by counting different countries after adjusting for income inequality as a country-level predictor of SRH. Secondary data analysis was conducted on the joint data set of the last waves of the World Values Survey and European Values Study, including data from 69 countries. All hypotheses were confirmed. Findings of Study 1 were specifically discussed considering the post-disaster context due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and Study 2 was discussed considering more like a global picture regarding the same relationship patterns.

Generality of support sources and psychometric properties of a scale of perceived social support in Turkey Eker, D; Arkar, H; Yaldiz, H (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2000-05-01) Pur-pose: The purpose of the study was to check the generality of the structure of social support sources as measured by the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) and to examine the instrument's psychometric properties in Turkey. A previous study in Turkey showed that the definitions of support sources may differ across cultures and an attempt was made in the present study to incorporate definitions to make the scale more meaningful in Turkey. Method: Three samples (psychiatry, surgery,...
Interdisciplinarity in Cognitive Science: A Document Similarity Analysis Alasehir, Oguzhan; Acartürk, Cengiz (2022-12-01) Cognitive science was established as an interdisciplinary domain of research in the 1970s. Since then, the domain has flourished, despite disputes concerning its interdisciplinarity. Multiple methods exist for the assessment of interdisciplinary research. The present study proposes a methodology for quantifying interdisciplinary aspects of research in cognitive science. We propose models for text similarity analysis that provide helpful information about the relationship between publications and their speci...
Review of Studies Related to Pedagogical Content Knowledge in the Context of Science Teacher Education: Turkish Case Aydin, Sevgi; Boz, Yezdan (2012-12-01) As a review study, the present study was carried out in order to introduce PCK construct to researchers and evaluate which aspects of PCK were studied in our country, and, finally, make recommendations in light of the analysis of the studies for further research. For this purpose, ERIC database, YOK (Higher Education Council) database were searched by using "Pedagogical Content Knowledge" as keyword. Moreover, journals published in Turkey and which are possible to be reached electronically were searched usi...
The formation and consolidation of Pamiri ethnic identity in Tajikistan Davlatshoev, Suhrobsho; Tokluoğlu, Ayşe Ceylan; Department of Eurasian Studies (2006) The aim of this study is to examine the formation and consolidation of the Pamiri people in Tajikistan. The research focuses on two topics. The first is to compare the primordialist and constructionist schools over the question of the features individuating ethnic groups. The formation of Pamiri ethnic identity during the Soviet rule was selected as a case study of this thesis. The second topic of this study is to examine the formation of Pamiri ethnic identity and the factors that contributed for its conso...
Collaborative interdisciplinary astrobiology research: a bibliometric study of the NASA Astrobiology Institute TAŞKIN, ZEHRA; Aydınoğlu, Arsev Umur (2015-06-01) This study aims to undertake a bibliometric investigation of the NASA Astrobiology Institute (NAI) funded research that was published between 2008 and 2012 (by teams of Cooperative Agreement Notice Four and Five). For this purpose, the study creates an inventory of publications co-authored through NAI funding and investigates journal preferences, international and institutional collaboration, and citation behaviors of researchers to reach a better understanding of interdisciplinary and collaborative astrobi...
