On Saturday my new article was published in Motivation and Emotion 🙂 This one is called Probability bias is an independent correlate of depressive symptoms, and I ran the project with my colleague Çağla Aydın, and two excellent Independent Study Project students, Ekin Ulupunar and Mahnoor Nadeem.

I’m rather late posting this, but in January another project of mine started, with TÃœBÄ°TAK support. Thanks, TÃœBÄ°TAK!

This one is called Türk Ögrencilerde Depresyon: Zamanlar Arası Bir Meta-Analiz (Depression in Turkish students: A cross-temporal meta-analysis), and I am running it in equal collaboration with my previous Master’s student, Elif Åžengül, with assistance from our friend Ä°rem Ayçiçek.

We’re hoping to see whether reporting depressive symptom severity, among students at Turkish universities, has fluctuated since 1990. In particular, we are interested to see how depressive symptoms in this group were affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The project is progressing well, and I’m excited to see the results!
