Research Interest |
|
My research focuses on autobiographical memory development in cultural and familial contexts, and how this development changes as a factor of parents' and children's individual differences. I enjoy working with families and usually collect autobiographical memory narratives or conversations of dyads, triads, and quads from different generations of the same families. My most recent studies concern memory talk in the family context, intra-familial similarities and cross-generational differences in autobiographical memories, dyadic, triadic, and quadratic parent-child memory conversations, functions of autobiographical memory, life-script and life-stories, earliest childhood memories, emotionally charged memories, emotion regulation, and effects of self-construals and gender on autobiographical memory development. Finally, by the end of 2021, one of our projects has been funded by the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TÜBİTAK 1001 Project), within the scope of which we plan to examine the videos of mother-father-child triads' memory conversations and code for the nonverbal characteristics. Please send your applications for summer intership to the following e-mail adress: cegel@metu.edu.tr Students who are admitted will be anounced at the end of May and should receive an e-mail.
