Article Healthy neuroticism is associated with perceived health and chronic conditions, but not associated with health behaviors in Turkish middle-aged and older adults(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2026) Sevi, BarışNeuroticism is generally associated with poor health outcomes. However, it is suggested that this relationship may yield more positive outcomes when interacting with high levels of conscientiousness, referred to as “healthy neuroticism.” Findings on this concept are mixed and not been sufficiently explored in non-WEIRD societies. With a sample of middle and older adults from Turkey (N=617; Mage =58.54, SDage = 6.76) this study tested healthy neuroticism predicting health behaviors (tobacco and alcohol use, physical activity), general health perception, and chronic illness status. Analyses related to health behaviors did not support healthy neuroticism, while significant interactions were present for general health perception and chronic illness status. High levels of neuroticism were associated with poorer general health and a higher likelihood of chronic illness, but the strength of these associations decreased at higher levels of conscientiousness. Interaction analyses indicated that high conscientiousness mitigated the negative effects of neuroticism, providing partial support for healthy neuroticism. These findings suggest that conscientiousness may buffer the negative health effects of neuroticism. However, since this buffering effect does not entirely reverse the negative impact of neuroticism, it may be more appropriate to refer to this interaction as “healthier neuroticism” rather than “healthy neuroticism.”Article Visibility by Design: How HRM Architectural Choices Shape Workplace Relationships in Digitally Surveilled Environments(Wiley, 2026) Patel, Pankaj C.; Rofcanin, Yasin; Belitski, Maksim; Kamasak, RifatThis paper develops a three-layer conceptual framework, comprising surveillance architecture, HRM design choices, and employee responses, to explain how digital surveillance reshapes workplace relationships. Anchored in organizational paradox theory, the framework treats workplace visibility as a persistent, two-sided tension rather than a uniformly negative force, and positions HR as the architect whose design choices determine which pole prevails; Foucauldian surveillance theory, conservation of resources theory, and organizational power perspectives serve as mid-range accounts of the mechanisms through which this paradox operates. On this basis, the paper proposes four interrelated mechanisms through which digital monitoring produces relational consequences. First, the same visibility architecture generates professional isolation when monitoring is opaque and disciplinary, but can foster recognition and inclusion when design is transparent and participatory. Second, employees internalize digital performance metrics and reshape their professional networks around quantifiable outputs, marginalizing tacit knowledge and mentoring, though participatory metric design can partially counteract this displacement. Third, employees segment their relationships across monitored and unmonitored interaction spaces, developing shadow networks alongside official platforms, while also engaging in counter-surveillance and sousveillance practices that redistribute visibility on their own terms. Fourth, continuous presence demands deplete the emotional and cognitive resources employees need for authentic professional connection, though platform design and workload autonomy moderate this effect. A temporal lifecycle spans all four mechanisms, tracing how surveillance effects evolve from early adoption through normalization, strain, and relational reconfiguration.Article Distributional Effects of Female Employment Ratio on Turkish Labor Market Outcomes(Emerald Group Publishing Ltd, 2026) Toraganli Karamollaoglu, Nazli; Soybilgen, BarisPurpose This paper studies demand-side determinants of women's employment in Türkiye's manufacturing sector and tests whether firm characteristics relate differently to low versus high female employment ratio firms.Design/methodology/approach Turkish Statistical Institute micro data for 2005-2015 are merged, yielding over 250,000 firm-year observations for manufacturing firms with at least 20 employees. Female employment ratio is analyzed with panel quantile regression to trace heterogeneous associations across the conditional distribution for firm size, foreign ownership, age, export ratio, capital intensity, part-time, and overtime work.Findings Larger firm size is linked to higher female employment mainly in low and middle quantiles, with weaker effects at the top. Foreign ownership is positive throughout and stronger in higher quantiles. Export intensity is consistently positive, rising across quantiles and leveling off near the upper tail. Age, capital intensity, and overtime are negatively associated, with larger magnitudes at higher quantiles. Part-time work is positive, peaking in upper-middle quantiles.Practical implications Policies can be targeted by firms' position in the female employment distribution, combining support for SMEs and low female-employment firms with gendersensitive export and investment incentives and enforceable work-life measures that reduce excessive overtime while improving access to high-quality flexible work arrangements.Originality/value Using a large firm-level panel, the study provides distributional evidence via quantile methods that reveal heterogeneity masked by mean-based models.Article Immigration and Firm Performance: Who Gains and Who Loses(Springer, 2026) Trionfetti, Federico; Karamollaoğlu, NazlıFollowing the intensification of the conflict in Syria in 2012, the number of Syrian refugees in Turkey has reached to 3.7 million as of 2021, according to the Turkish Directorate General for Migration Management. Syrian refugees have become an important source of informal employment, as almost 2 million Syrians are of working age. Therefore, this large flow of immigrants has had major impacts on the dynamics of the labor market through the abundance of largely unskilled labor. This paper provides evidence on the impact of this massive refugee inflow, resulting from the changes in labor markets, on firm-level total sales and domestic sales using a comprehensive firm-level data and city-level immigration density measures. Our results suggest that firms in cities with greater immigrant penetration saw increasing sales, mostly in labour-intensive firms.Article Sensing with More-than-Human Care: A Possible Shift in Architectural Aesthetics(Emerald Group Publishing Ltd, 2026) Gur, Elmira Ayse; Samanci, BuketPurposeThis research aims to discuss possible aesthetic shift framed by care in architecture with a more-than-human approach, focusing on the potential involvement of neglected non-human entities in spatial designs. In this regard, this research encourages people to think about the relation between human and non-human through spatial practices, aiming to challenge human-centrism.Design/methodology/approachThis research examines the potential and critical participation of non-human entities in selected spatial practices. A multidisciplinary focus group interview was held, and a workshop was conducted by focus group participants on selected practices. As research methods, discourse analysis and comparative analysis are applied. With these analyses, a discussion is held by the researchers.FindingsWith the inclusion of non-human entities in the spatial practices over time, the aesthetic judgment of architecture is shifted in a caring manner. Aesthetics, which finds its place in both the human-centric and the more-than-human perspective, was evaluated as full of potential as a common ground with the critical participation of non-human entities in the collective spatial practices. The changing phenomenon of aesthetics is therefore found highly related to more-than-human discussions.Originality/valueThere are a few interdisciplinary studies on the intersection of more-than-human and architectural aesthetics debates. This research aims to challenge the conventional aesthetic means of architecture with an effort to bridge the gap between more-than-human aesthetics and architecture by producing new multidisciplinary discourses on more-than-human architecture.Article Revisiting Task and Relationship Conflict: An Attributional Perspective on Their Associations and Attitudinal Outcomes(Springer, 2026) Konuk, HızırThis study examines the relationship between task conflict and relationship conflict in organizational settings. Drawing on attribution theory, it considers how the same disagreement may be construed in task-related or relational terms. The study aims to examine whether and how these forms of conflict are associated in ways consistent with a transformation pattern, and how these patterns relate to work outcomes. Data were collected from 268 employees across nine industries and analyzed using structural equation modeling. The findings indicate a positive association between task and relationship conflict in both directions, suggesting that these conflict types are interconnected rather than independent categories. Task type conditions this association, such that the link between relationship conflict and task conflict is stronger in non-routine contexts. The results suggest that the relationship between conflict and job satisfaction depends on the interconnections among conflict types rather than on the presence of a single conflict type in isolation. Task conflict is indirectly associated with job satisfaction through its association with relationship conflict, whereas the reverse pathway appears more conditional. Although attributional processes are not tested directly, the findings are consistent with an attribution-based interpretation of conflict dynamics. By adopting a process-oriented perspective, the study contributes to the conflict and negotiation literature by reframing task and relationship conflict as related and by clarifying how their interrelationship relates to job satisfaction.Article Online Reinforcement Learning-Based Real-Time Stabilization Framework for Quadrotors(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2026) Tukenmez, Nejat; Bogosyan, Seta O.This study presents a framework based on adaptive learning in real-time for quadrotor stabilization, capable of optimizing continuous parameters in response to dynamic environmental conditions. Using high-fidelity sensor measurements, the proposed architecture employs an actor-critic paradigm to derive optimal stabilization policies without prior knowledge of system dynamics. Specifically, critic and actor networks facilitate the simultaneous evaluation and improvement of policies, allowing the system to mitigate aerodynamic perturbations - provided via high-velocity fan systems - without human intervention. To enhance computational efficiency and provide millimeter-level feedback, a high-precision localization system is integrated into the control loop, serving as the primary positioning reference. The Artificial Intelligence (AI) contribution lies in the model-independent Integral Reinforcement Learning (IRL) weight update laws, while the engineering application is demonstrated through real-time stabilization of a nano-quadrotor under varying aerodynamic loads. The efficacy of the framework was rigorously evaluated by varying the intensity of the wind fan within a controlled indoor flight facility. Experimental results demonstrate that the online Reinforcement Learning (RL) agent successfully identifies and adapts the control parameters to maintain stability, providing a robust foundation for model-independent Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) control in dynamic environments.Book Part Integrating Genre-Based Writing and Critical Thinking in Developing Writing Skills of Preservice Language Teachers(Multilingual Matters Ltd, 2024) Altinmakas, Derya; Aptoula, Nur YigitogluArticle Does Support Meet the Need?

Parental support contributes to minority students' satisfaction of autonomy, competence, and relatedness. Minority educational contexts shape students' psychological well-being through sociocultural and institutional conditions. What are the implications of the main findings? Supportive parenting acts as a protective factor that promotes resilience and psychological well-being among minority students. School and community interventions should address the psychosocial needs of bilingual minority students.Abstract Background: Parental practices that support autonomy, provide structure, and foster warm relationships are associated with greater satisfaction of students' basic psychological needs for autonomy, competence, and relatedness. In minority educational contexts, however, students' psychological need satisfaction is also shaped by broader sociocultural conditions that may create additional pressures and sources of chronic stress. Within such environments, parental support may function as a protective factor that helps students cope with educational and cultural demands. Objective: The aim of this study was to explore how parental support contributes to the satisfaction of students' basic psychological needs within a minority educational context where students from the Greek minority attend a bilingual school operating within a Turkish educational framework. Methods: A qualitative design was employed using three focus groups conducted in a minority school located in Gökçeada, Türkiye: one with parents (N = 5), one with lower secondary school students (N = 6), and one with upper secondary school students (N = 6). Interview questions were developed on the basis of Basic Psychological Needs Theory. Data were analyzed thematically by five members of the research team. Results: Findings indicated that parental support influenced students' need satisfaction through practices related to autonomy (e.g., trust, space for mistakes), competence (e.g., encouragement, comparison), and relatedness (e.g., emotional presence, empathy). However, these practices were not experienced in a uniform way. Rather, their meaning and impact were shaped by contextual conditions associated with minority status, including bilingual educational demands, limited resources, and close-knit community dynamics. Conclusions: The study suggests that in minority school settings, parental support operates not simply as a general interpersonal resource but as a contextually mediated protective process. By showing how sociocultural and institutional conditions shape the enactment and experience of autonomy, competence, and relatedness, the findings extend existing BPNT research beyond majority settings and offer a more context-sensitive understanding of students' psychological need satisfaction.Article Psychological Intimate Partner Violence Across Identities: Preliminary Psychometrics of the Multidimensional Measure of Emotional Abuse-Short Form Among Heterosexual, Lesbian, and Bisexual Samples in Türkiye(ARCHIVES OF SEXUAL BEHAVIOR, 2026) Toplu- Demirtaş, Ezgi; Zurnaci, Burcu; Demirtaş, Ezgi TopluPsychological intimate partner violence (IPV) affects individuals across diverse sexual identities and is often reinforced by romantic myths. Despite its substantial mental health consequences, psychological IPV remains under-recognized and insufficiently researched. One barrier is the scarcity of brief, inclusive, and psychometrically sound tools for assessing psychological IPV across varied populations. To address this gap, the present study aimed to validate the short form of the Turkish version of the Multidimensional Measure of Emotional Abuse (MMEA-TR). This 16-item scale evaluates four subdimensions of psychological IPV (Restrictive Engulfment, Denigration, Hostile Withdrawal, and Dominance/Intimidation) while preserving the original multidimensional framework. Data were collected from four independent samples in T & uuml;rkiye: Bisexual individuals (n = 230, M = 22.88, SD = 4.49), predominantly heterosexual women (n = 237, M = 24.30, SD = 2.51), lesbian and bisexual women (n = 178, M = 29.06, SD = 7.81), and predominantly heterosexual men (n = 160, M = 24.49, SD = 2.54). Confirmatory factor analyses across samples supported the hypothesized four-factor model and demonstrated acceptable fit indices. Subscales showed significant intercorrelations and concurrent validity was supported by theoretically consistent associations with jealousy (Study 1), anxious attachment (Study 2), internalized heterosexism (Study 3), and fragile masculinity (Study 4). Internal consistency reliability ranged from acceptable to high across groups. Overall, findings provide initial evidence for the construct validity, concurrent validity, and reliability of the MMEA-TR short form. This study contributes a brief, inclusive, and psychometrically robust instrument for assessing psychological IPV in both heterosexual and sexual minority populations.
