Metaphors are implicit comparisons that are widely used in everyday language all over the world. Metaphors can be defined as applying the speech to another action and they are figures of speech that are used to refer to something but mean another. The aim of this study is to show how people interpret metaphors differently from each other. Expecting people to understand a metaphor, in the same manner, may cause misunderstandings in real life. This applies to the therapist-patient relationship as well, because if a therapist misunderstands their client, the therapy cannot benefit the patient. Therefore, measuring whether the interpretation of metaphors changes from person to person will be beneficial for having mutual understanding in the communication, which will be a significant topic for therapists to consider while they are doing therapy. To measure whether people interpret metaphors differently, an online self-report questionnaire with 10 questions was created by using the Zayed et al. (2020) article and data was gathered from 132 participants. According to the results, the hypothesis of this study has been supported, which is that every individual interprets metaphors in a unique way and their understanding of metaphors is different from each other.

Studying or working early in the morning is considered a more productive time in some of the articles. However, these articles may not have considered the effects of the circadian rhythm. This article suggests that the emotional state of people affects the work productivity of people more than the time of day. To measure this, an online questionnaire has been sent to 111 participants through Google Forms who are between 18 and 65 years old. The Endicott Work Productivity Scale (Endicott & Nee, 1997) and the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (Watson et al., 1988) have been used to create the questionnaire. After performing the correlation analysis on SPSS, a weak and negative relation between positive affect and work productivity has been found. There is also a moderate and positive correlation between negative affect and work productivity. It is revealed that there are significant correlations between emotional state and work productivity, however, the reason is not known due to the nature of correlation analysis.
