    A construal level account of the impact of religion and god on prosociality
    (Sage, 2020) N/A; N/A; Department of Business Administration; Canlı, Zeynep Gürhan; Karataş, Mustafa; PhD Student; Faculty Member; Department of Business Administration; Graduate School of Business; College of Administrative Sciences and Economics; N/A; 16135
    This research shows that the two most prevalent religious constructs-God and religion-differentially impact cognition. Activating thoughts about God (vs. religion) induces a relatively more abstract (vs. concrete) mindset (Studies 1a-1c). Consequently, time donation intentions (Study 2) and actual monetary donations (Study 3) after a God (vs. religion) prime increase when people are presented an abstractly (vs. concretely) framed donation appeal. Similarly, people donate more money to distant (vs. close) donation targets, which are construed relatively abstractly (vs. concretely), when a religious speech activates predominantly God-specific (vs. religion-specific) thoughts (Study 4). These effects are mediated by "feeling right" under construal level fit (Study 3). Overall, this research significantly advances extant knowledge on religious cognition and past research on the link between religion and prosociality.

    Experience of grief by patients with cancer in relation to perceptions of illness: the mediating roles of identity centrality, stigma-induced discrimination, and hopefulness
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2017) Gokler-Danisman, Ilgin; Yigit, Ibrahim; Yalçınay-İnan, Merve; Doctor; Koç University Hospital; N/A
    Diagnosis of cancer leads to multiple losses, all with the potential to initiate grief reactions in patients. The present study aims to contribute to the understanding of the experience of grief by patients with cancer in relation to perceptions of illness, with a focus on the mediating roles of identity centrality, stigma-induced discrimination, and hopefulness. The analyses indicated that these factors functioned as significant partial mediators. The results have implications in terms of supporting patients through the grieving process by working on the meaning of the illness for their identity and improving psychosocial environments to minimize discrimination and facilitate hope.

    The effects of source credibility in the presence or absence of prior attitudes: Implications for the design of persuasive communication campaigns
    (Wiley, 2010) Albarracin, Dolores; Seignourel, Paul J.; N/A; Kumkale, Gökçe Tarcan; PhD Student; Graduate School of Social Sciences and Humanities; 105011
    Most theories of persuasion predict that limited ability and motivation to think about communications should increase the impact of source credibility on persuasion. Furthermore, this effect is assumed to occur, regardless of whether or not the recipients have prior attitudes. In this study, the effects of source credibility, ability, and motivation (knowledge, message repetition, relevance) on persuasion were examined meta-analytically across both attitude formation and change conditions. Findings revealed that the Source Credibility x Ability/Motivation interaction emerged only when participants lacked prior attitudes and were unable to form a new attitude based on the message content. In such settings, the effects of source credibility decayed rapidly. The implications of these findings for applied communication campaigns are discussed.

    When the expectations from a message will not be realized: Naive theories can eliminate expectation-congruent judgments via correction
    (Elsevier, 2009) Handley, Ian M.; Albarracin, Dolores; Brown, Rick D.; Li, Hong; Kumkale, Ece C.; N/A; Kumkale, Gökçe Tarcan; PhD Student; Graduate School of Social Sciences and Humanities; 105011
    Research typically reveals that individuals like an object more when a persuasive message convinces them that this object is pleasant. In this paper, two experiments were conducted to understand the influence of such message-induced affective-expectations on judgments of experienced affect following direct encounter with an alcohol type of drink. As predicted, before trying the drink, recipients of the positive expectation message had more positive expectations than recipients of the negative-expectation message. After drinking, participants judged the beverage to elicit affect congruent with message-induced expectations to the extent they did not endorse a naive theory that their affective expectations congruently influence their experienced affect. In contrast, after drinking, the effect of the message disappeared when participants did endorse this naive theory. Moderation of these effects, as well as theoretical and practical implications, are addressed.

    When the UPPS-P model of impulsivity meets a revised approach: the development and validation of the TRUE Multidimensional Impulsivity Scale
    (Routledge, 2023) Department of Psychology;Department of International Relations; Türkmen, İrem; Rodoplu, Nilay; Üner, Beril Simay; Esmer, Şeref Can; Atalay, Ayşe Altan; Usta, Berivan Ece; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; College of Administrative Sciences and Economics; Graduate School of Social Sciences and Humanities
    There is inconsistency in the measurement of impulsivity resulting from the diversity in its conceptualization. We aimed to develop a revised measure based on the Urgency, Premeditation (lack of), Perseverance (lack of), Sensation Seeking - Positive Urgency (UPPS-P) model (i.e., TRUE Multidimensional Impulsivity Scale;TRUE-MIS) considering the limitations and strengths of the existing measures. We conceptualized impulsivity as a personality trait referring to the inability to restrain one’s urges without thinking about the future consequences in various contexts. A total of 535 adults (262 females, M = 34.1, SD = 12.7) participated in Study 1. Principal component analyses indicated a four-factor structure (internal urgency, social urgency, lack of premeditation, and lack of perseverance) with satisfactory internal consistency and validity evidence by significant relations with self-control. Confirmatory factor analysis in Study 2 confirmed the factor structure obtained in Study 1. Hierarchical linear regression analyses provided further validity evidence through establishing differential links between the subscales and Big Five personality traits, emotion regulation, depression, anxiety, and smartphone addiction in a sample of 556 adults (368 females, M = 24.0, SD = 7.4). Overall, TRUE-MIS is a valid and reliable measure of impulsivity addressing the arguments regarding the conceptual structure of the construct. © 2022 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
