Leading a workshop titled “Revisiting Positive Illusions; Adaptive or Problematic!” at the said congress, Prof. Dr. Bayraktar stated that they have a joyful yet in-deep event with students from various European countries.
Providing information on the topics discussed during the workshop, Prof. Dr. Bayraktar said; “We examined how positive illusions, our tendency to view ourselves, our relationships, and our experiences in an optimistic light, can sometimes make life easier, while in other cases they might create risks.
