Dr. Burcu Kaya Kiziloğz serves as Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology within the Faculty of Arts and Sciences at Eastern Mediterranean University (EMU), maintaining active research and teaching duties from her office AS215 (contact: +90 392 630 3051, burcu.kaya@emu.edu.tr). Her academic foundation includes: PhD in Psychology from Boğaziçi University (Istanbul, 2018) MA in Psychology from Boğaziçi University (Istanbul, 2007) BA in Psychology from Boğaziçi University (Istanbul, 2003) Specializing in cognitive-clinical intersections, Dr. Kaya Kiziloğz investigates autobiographical memory systems, executive function deficits, and ruminative processes. Her research examines cultural variations in life narratives (including Nigerian populations), emotional regulation through mnemonic strategies, and memory phenomena in depression/OCD. She develops culturally adapted assessment tools like the Turkish Executive Functions Inventory and Brief State Rumination Inventory. Recent publications (2020-2025) reveal evolving focus from cross-cultural life script analysis toward semantic memory frameworks and emotion regulation mechanisms, with increasing methodological sophistication in measuring cognitive flexibility's role in pathological rumination. As thesis supervisor at EMU, she guides graduate research though specific student names aren't documented. No major grants or awards are indicated in available materials.
