İnsanların Bellek Hakkındaki İnançları Araştırma Sonuçlarıyla Tutarlı mıdır?

Türkiye’de insanların bellek konusunda ne tür inançlara sahip olduğu ve bu inanışlar ile bu inanışlara temel oluşturan belek süreçleri hakkındaki kontrollü araştırmalardan elde edilen bulguların ne derece tutarlı olduğunun incelenmesi bu çalışmanın temel amacını oluşturmuştur. Mevcut araştırmanın ikinci amacı ise, bellek hakkında sahip olunan bu inançlar açısından kültürlerarasında bir fark olup olmadığının incelenmesidir. Katılımcıların bellek hakkındaki inançları Bellek Hakkındaki İnançlar Anketi (Magnussen ve ark., 2006) kullanılarak internet üzerinden elde edilmiştir. Araştırmanın analizleri farklı cinsiyet, yaş ve eğitim düzeyinden 931 kişi üzerinden yürütülmüştür. Analiz sonuçları, Türkiye’de insanların bellek konusunda sahip oldukları inançların kontrollü araştırma sonuçlarıyla tutarlı olan ve olmayan yanlarının olduğunu göstermiştir. Ayrıca bulgular farklı kültürdeki bireylerin bellek hakkında benzer inançlara sahip olduklarına işaret etmiştir.

Are People's Beliefs About Their Own Memory Consistent with Controlled Studies?

The first aim of the study was to investigate people’s beliefs about their own memory and to investigate consistency between these beliefs and current research findings among a sample of the general public in Turkey. The second aim was to look at cross-cultural differences concerning the general public’s beliefs about memory performance. Data for this study was collected through an internet-based survey using the Beliefs About Memory Questionnaire (Magnussen et al., 2006). Analyses were carried out in 931 men and women of differing ages and levels of education. In general, results showed that even though people have realistic beliefs on several general issues about memory, some beliefs that are not consistent with results of controlled studies. In addition, results indicated that beliefs about memory performance were similar across different cultures.
