The identification of facial expressions’ is essential part of the communication and differ across cultures. In this study, the aim is to develop an emotion identification test with facial expressions of Turkish people and test the reliability and validity. As stimuli, 7 photos of fundamental face expressions’ were taken in 64 Turkish citizens between 18-60 ages. 72 participants with same age range completed the Empathy Scale, Facial Emotion Identification Test and the test that prepared for the current study called “Emotion Identification Test from Facial Expressions of Healthy Individuals in Turkish Society” to test the validity and reliability and repeated 15 days later. The Wilcoxon, Mann Whitney U, Pearson Correlation tests are used to determine the differences between scales. The findings are evaluated in the range of 95% reliability level and %5 (p<0,05) relevance level. The correlation level of the Emotion Identification Test from Facial Expressions of Healthy Individuals in Turkish Society test-retest was found as r=0.58. According to results, women more accurately recognize the disgust face expressions in the newly developed test than men do. Moreover, the scared, shocked and happy facial expressions and total scores were different between the Facial Emotion Identification Test and new test. Current study is the first study about developing a facial expression test in Turkish population that validates psychometric properties comparing with other social cognitive scales. We believe that this test will a good alternative in research fields of neurology and psychiatry conducted with Turkish populations.

Aim: Hypnosis is treated as a state of mind. An individual depending on his/her social and psychological features follows suggestions and applies the requirements concerning time and space. With the advancement in brain-imagining techniques, viewing neuropsychological features of hypnosis has become a possibility. This article investigates the neuropsychological properties of hypnosis. The present study examines the electrophysiological features of the hypnotic minds of healthy individuals. This study aims to detect whether there is a change in and, if yes, in what region of suggestible individuals' minds during hypnosis. Materials and Methods: In this study, 34 highly suggestive individuals were selected out of 150 healthy individuals and were subjected to multidimensional Iowa suggestibility scale inventory and electroencephalogram (EEG). Due to technical problems during EEG, 24 data could be used cleanly. Using a correlational design, 34 healthy, suggestive individuals between the ages of 18–55 were included in the study. These participants have gone through an EEG procedure using the oddball paradigm. EEG and oddball were administered to 17 participants with and without hypnosis. Seventeen participants were administered without and with hypnosis. Twenty-four participants whose data was clear were included in the analyses. Results: When the groups were compared, it was seen that there was no significant difference in P300, P200, and P100 activities. There was also no significant difference in N200 and N100 activities. Conclusions: In this study the authors administered oddball paradigm with hypnosis and without hypnosis. The authors do not report any differences between conditions in terms of enterprise resource plannings. Although there was no statistically significant difference in this experimental design, studies with new and different designs should be continued.
