    Sensitivity Analysis of the Effect of Current Mood States on the Thermal Sensation in Educational Buildings
    (Wiley-hindawi, 2022) Ozbey, Mehmet Furkan; Ceter, Aydin Ege; Orfioglu, Sevval; Alkan, Nese; Turhan, Cihan
    Adaptive thermal comfort is a model which considers behavioral and psychological adjustments apart from Fanger's Predicted Mean Vote (PMV)/Percentage of Dissatisfied (PPD) method. In the literature, the differences between the PMV/PPD method and adaptive thermal comfort were mainly considered in aspects of behavioral adjustments in an environment. Conversely, limited studies related to psychological adjustments were considered in detail for thermal comfort. This study purposes to investigate the effects of current mood state subscales on thermal sensation of the occupants for the first time in the literature. To this aim, the Profile of Mood States (POMS) questionnaire is used to determine the mood state of the occupants with six different subscales: Anger, Confusion, Vigor, Tension, Depression, and Fatigue. The experiments were conducted in a university study hall in Ankara, Turkey, which is in warm-summer Mediterranean climate (Csb) according to Koppen-Geiger Climate Classification. The distributions of each subscale were examined via Anderson Darling and Shapiro-Wilk tests accordingly given responses from the occupants. The sensitivity analysis was applied to the six subscales of the POMS with Monte Carlo simulation method by considering the distributions of each subscale. The results revealed that the current mood state has a crucial effect on the thermal sensation of the occupants. The subscales of the Depression and Vigor were found as the most vital ones among the six subscales. Only the pure effects of the Vigor and Depression would change the thermal sensation of the occupants 0.31 and 0.30, respectively. The Confusion was determined as the least effective subscale to the thermal sensation of the occupants. Moreover, with the combination of all the six subscales, the thermal sensation might change up to 1.32. Findings in this study would help researchers to develop the personalized thermal comfort systems.

    Psychometric Properties of a Turkish Version of the Oral Health Impact Profile-14
    (Wolters Kluwer Medknow Publications, 2017) Balci, N.; Alkan, N.; Gurgan, C. A.
    Objectives: The purpose of this study was to analyze and evaluate a Turkish translation of the oral health impact profile-14 (OHIP-14) in a Turkish population to provide an objective standard for future studies. Methods: This cross-sectional research study consisted of three independent studies. Data were collected utilizing a personal interview and a review of periodontal records. This study was performed on 1205 subjects who were visiting for routine medical check-ups. The OHIP-14 was administered to measure oral health related to the quality of life, along with a questionnaire addressing demographic information, such as age, gender, and education. Results: The reliability coefficient (Cronbach's alpha) of the Turkish version OHIP-14-TR (OHIP-14-TR) was reported to be nearly perfect in all 3 parts of our study (alpha 1: 0.82; alpha 2: 0.76; alpha 3: 0.91); additionally, values were greater than the recommended 0.70 threshold. Spearman's correlation coefficients showed that both OHIP scores significantly correlated with periodontal parameters, serving as proof of convergent validity (P < 0.01, P < 0.001). The principal component analysis with varimax rotation revealed seven factors. The OHIP-14-TR was more than 95% comprehensible. Conclusion: The OHIP-14-TR is a reliable, valid, and comprehensible scale for measuring oral health-related quality of life in the Turkish population.

    Critical Analysis and Alternative Explanations for Effects of Apnea on the Timing of Motor Representations
    (Brill Academic Publishers, 2015) Alkan,N.
    This commentary is designed to provide an analysis of issues pertinent to the investigation of the effects of the temporary cessation of breathing (apnea), particularly during water immersion or diving, and its effects on time estimation in general and the timing of motor representation in particular. In addition, this analysis provides alternative explanations of certain unexpected findings reported by Di Rienzo et al. (2014) pertaining to apnea and interval timing. The perspective and guidance that this commentary provides on the relationship between apnea and time estimation is especially relevant considering the scarcity of experimental and clinical studies examining these variables. © 2015 by Koninklijke Brill NV, Leiden, The Netherlands.

    Latent Psychological Pathways in Thermal Comfort Perception: The Mediating Role of Cognitive Uncertainty on Depression and Vigour
    (MDPI, 2025) Ozbey, Mehmet Furkan; Turhan, Cihan; Alkan, Nese; Akkurt, Gulden Gokcen
    Thermal comfort is the condition of mind that expresses satisfaction with the thermal environment, and it is assessed through subjective evaluation, according to the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers. While research has traditionally emphasised physical factors, growing evidence highlights the role of the state of mind in shaping thermal perception. In a prior Monte Carlo sensitivity analysis, six mood subscales-Anger, Confusion, Vigour, Tension, Depression, and Fatigue-were examined for how they affect the absolute difference between actual and predicted thermal sensation. Depression and vigour were found to be the most influential, while confusion appeared least impactful. However, to accurately assess the role of confusion, it is necessary to consider its potential interactions with other mood subscales. To this end, a mediation analysis was conducted using Hayes' PROCESS tool. The mediation analyses revealed that confusion partially mediated depression's effect in males and vigour's effect in females. These results suggest that, despite a weak direct impact, confusion critically influences thermal perception by altering the effects of key mood states. Accounting for the indirect effects of mood states may lead to more accurate predictions of human sensory experiences and improve the design of occupant-centred environments.

    Recognition and Misclassification Patterns of Basic Emotional Facial Expressions: An Eye-Tracking Study in Young Healthy Adults
    (MDPI, 2023) Alkan, Neşe
    Accurate recognition of basic facial emotions is well documented, yet the mechanisms of misclassification and their relation to gaze allocation remain under-reported. The present study utilized a within-subjects eye-tracking design to examine both accurate and inaccurate recognition of five basic emotions (anger, disgust, fear, happiness, and sadness) in healthy young adults. Fifty participants (twenty-four women) completed a forced-choice categorization task with 10 stimuli (female/male poser x emotion). A remote eye tracker (60 Hz) recorded fixations mapped to eyes, nose, and mouth areas of interest (AOIs). The analyses combined accuracy and decision-time statistics with heatmap comparisons of misclassified versus accurate trials within the same image. Overall accuracy was 87.8% (439/500). Misclassification patterns depended on the target emotion, but not on participant gender. Fear male was most often misclassified (typically as disgust), and sadness female was frequently labeled as fear or disgust; disgust was the most incorrectly attributed response. For accurate trials, decision time showed main effects of emotion (p < 0.001) and participant gender (p = 0.033): happiness was categorized fastest and anger slowest, and women responded faster overall, with particularly fast response times for sadness. The AOI results revealed strong main effects and an AOI x emotion interaction (p < 0.001): eyes received the most fixations, but fear drew relatively more mouth sampling and sadness more nose sampling. Crucially, heatmaps showed an upper-face bias (eye AOI) in inaccurate trials, whereas accurate trials retained eye sampling and added nose and mouth AOI coverage, which aligned with diagnostic cues. These findings indicate that the scanpath strategy, in addition to information availability, underpins success and failure in basic-emotion recognition, with implications for theory, targeted training, and affective technologies.

    (2014) Alkan, Neşe
    Bu çalışmada, üniversite tercih dönemlerinde, adaylara üniversite ve bölümler hakkında detaylı bilgi vermek amacı ile pek çok üniversite tarafından gerçekleştirilen etkinliklerinden biri olan, yüz-yüze bölüm bilgilendirme görüşmelerinin, üniversite adaylarının tercihlerine olan etkisi araştırılmıştır. Araştırma üç ayrı çalışmadan oluşmaktadır. Çalışma 1 ve 2'de, Ankara'da bulunan bir Vakıf Üniversitesinin Psikoloji bölümü öğretim elemanları tarafından tercih döneminde (Temmuz - Ağustos 2011) gerçekleştirilen, bölüm bilgilendirme görüşmelerine katılmış 58 üniversite adayı, Çalışma 3'de ise adı geçen bölümde öğrenim gören 167 öğrenci araştırmaya dahil edilmişlerdir. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre üniversite tercih döneminde bölüm ve üniversite hakkında bilgi alan adayların bölüm hakkındaki görüşlerinin olumlu yönde değiştiği, bilgilendirme görüşmesi sonucunda ilgili bölümü tercih edeceğini belirten adayların sayısının arttığı görülmüştür. Bilgilendirme görüşmesi sonrasında, tercihleri arasında ilgili bölüme yer vereceğini belirten adayların büyük kısmının ise ilgili bölümü tercih etmedikleri bulunmuştur. Çalışma 3'de ise üniversite öğrencilerinin ilgili bölüm hakkında bilgi edinmek için kullandıkları kaynaklar ve bu kaynakların tercihleri üzerinde ne derece etkili olduğu araştırılmıştır. En önemli etkenlerin, sırası ile, bölüm ziyareti, üniversite ve bölümün internet sayfaları, ÖSYM kılavuzu ve dershane rehber öğretmenler/psikolojik danışmanlar, en az etkisi olan kaynakların ise eğitim fuarları, televizyon, ilan panosu tanıtımları ve gazete ilanları olduğu bulunmuştur

    Kullanıcıların Isıl Konforu ile Duygu Durumları Arasındaki İlişkinin Belirlenmesi ve Deneysel Veri Odaklı Modellenmesi
    (2022) Çeter, Aydın Ege; Turhan, Cihan; Alkan, Neşe
    Kişiler yaşamları boyunca zamanlarının %90'ını iç mekanlarda geçirmektedir. Bu sebeple iç ortamlarda kişilerin termal konforunun sağlanması büyük önem taşımaktadır. Bununla beraber termal konforun sağlanabilmesi termal konforun doğru ölçülmesi ile mümkündür. Ancak termal konfor ölçümünün doğruluğu büyük bir sorun teşkil etmektedir. Bu alanda gerçekleştirilen çalışmalar ölçülen termal konfor değerleri ile kişilerin termal duyumu arasında önemli farkların bulunduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Buna ek olarak araştırmacılar çalışmalarında, bu farkın önemli nedenleri arasında olduğu düşünülen, kişilerin psikolojisinin termal duyum üzerindeki etkisini araştırmışlardır. Çalışmalar bu alanda önemli mesafeler kat etmiş olsa da yalnızca insan bedeninin psikolojik etkenler altındaki fiziksel tepkilerini incelemekten ve aradaki bağlantının varlığını kanıtlamaktan öteye gidememişlerdir. Öte yandan kişinin duygu durumunun insan psikolojisinin önemli göstergeleri arasında olduğu bilinmektedir. Bu nedenle bu tez, kişilerin duygu durumları ile termal duyumu arasındaki ilişkiyi araştırma ve Duygu-durum Düzeltme Faktörü (DDF) adı verilen yeni bir metot sunmayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu ilişkinin açığa çıkarılması için Atılım Üniversitesi'nde bulunan bir çalışma salonunda 16 Ağustos 2021 ve 15 Nisan 2022 tarihleri arasında bir dizi deney gerçekleştirilmiştir. Duygu durum ve termal duyum arasındaki ilişkinin belirlenebilmesi için deneyler süresince Tahmini Ortalama Oy (PMV) ölçümleri ile birlikte Gerçek Ortalama Oy (AMV) ve Duygu Durum Profili (POMS) anketi kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlar kişilerin termal duyumlarını en fazla etkileyen duygu durum sınıflarının çok karamsar, çok iyimser ve karamsar duygu durum sınıfları olduğunu ortaya çıkartmış ve ölçüm sonuçlarından daha sıcak hissettikleri ortaya koymuştur. Ayrıca DDF değerleri çok karamsar, çok iyimser ve karamsar duygu durum sınıfları için sırasıyla -0.125, -0.114 ve -0.075 olarak hesaplanmıştır.

    Investigation of the Relationship Between Tension Level and Thermal Sensation. a Case Study of University Study Hall
    (EDP Sciences, 2023) Özbey,M.F.; Alkan,N.; Turhan,C.
    The adaptive thermal comfort model steps forth against Fanger's Predicted Mean Vote/ Percentage of Dissatisfied model because of considering the psychological and behavioural adjustments in addition to environmental and personal parameters in mixed-mode and non-air-conditioned buildings. Among behavioural and psychological adjustments, human behaviour is more investigated than psychological adjustments in aspects of thermal sensation and comfort in the studies. To meet the deficit in the literature on how psychological adjustments affect thermal sensation, an experimental investigation was conducted to explore the effects of tension level on the Thermal Sensation Votes (TSV) of the students. Profile of Mood States (POMS) questionnaire was used to determine the tension level of the students. Experiments were conducted in a university study hall which is in the warm-summer Mediterranean climate (Csb) zone according to Köppen-Geiger Climate Classification. A total of 1159 students participated in the study, and the relation between the tension level and TSVs of the students were investigated for each gender. To test the associations between the nine quantitative subscales of tension level and the TSV, Pearson's correlation coefficient was computed. Based on results, "anxious"were considerable for the TSVs of both genders where the p-values were <0,001 for male and 0,044 for female students. In addition, while "shaky"(p=0,001) and "uneasy"(p<0,001) were found significant for the TSVs of male, "nervous"(p=0,013) were discovered noteworthy for the TSVs of the female students. © The Authors, published by EDP Sciences, 2023.
