Publication Metadata only 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; 16135This 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.Publication Metadata only Exploring the hook-up app: low sexual disgust and high sociosexuality predict motivation to use tinder for casual sex(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2018) N/A; N/A; Department of Psychology; Sevi, Barış; Eskenazi, Terry; Master Student; Faculty Member; Department of Psychology; Graduate School of Social Sciences and Humanities; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; N/A; 258780Tinder, also known as the "hook-up app" is the leading online dating application. In this study, we explored the reasons for using Tinder when seeking opportunities for casual sex. We asked whether sexual disgust sensitivity and sociosexuality predict Tinder use with motivation for casual sex. We also tested if gender moderated this relationship. Results of the data collected from 169 Tinder using Amazon Mechanical Turk workers revealed that sexual disgust sensitivity and sociosexuality were predictors of motivation to use Tinder for casual sex. The participants with higher sexual disgust sensitivity reported a lower motivation while the participants with higher sociosexuality reported a higher motivation for casual sex in their Tinder usage. While this model explained the motivation for men, a different model explained women's motivation. Sociosexuality mediated the relationship between sexual disgust sensitivity and the motivation to use Tinder for casual sex for women Tinder users. Results are discussed from an evolutionary perspective.Publication Metadata only Hypotheses(Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2006) Berry, John W.; Georgas, James; Poortinga, Ype H.; van de Vijver, Fons J. R.; Department of Psychology; Kağıtçıbaşı, Çiğdem; Faculty Member; Department of Psychology; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; N/AN/APublication Open Access It is more than personal: development and validation of a multidimensional privacy orientation scale(Elsevier, 2014) Department of Media and Visual Arts; Department of Psychology; Baruh, Lemi; Cemalcılar, Zeynep; Faculty Member; Faculty Member; Department of Media and Visual Arts; Department of Psychology; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; 36113; 40374This study summarizes the development and validation of a multidimensional privacy orientation scale designed for measuring privacy attitudes of Social Network Site (SNS) users. Findings confirm the existence of four dimensions: 1) belief in the value of “privacy as a right”; 3) “othercontingent privacy”; 2) “concern about own informational privacy” and 4) “concern about privacy of others.” Moreover, a segmentation of SNS users reveals three types of users: 1) privacy advocates, who are concerned about both their own and other people’s privacy; 2) privacy individualists, who are concerned mostly about their own privacy, and 3) privacy indifferents, whose score on all dimensions are lower than other segments. The results indicate that the four privacy orientation dimensions and three user segments predict key differences in terms of privacy protective behavior, information disclosure, and viewing personal information of others.Publication Metadata only Methodology of the study(Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2006) Georgas, James; van de Vijver, Fons J.

In contrast, we argue that person memory results from the interplay between the individual and the context. Thus, the way people acquire and retrieve social information is constrained by the context in which these processes take place. This argument was explored in three experiments. In an impression formation paradigm, we manipulated the meaningfulness of contextual information (objects) for a stereotypical target. Results showed that meaningful contextual information presented during the encoding of behavioral information improved memory.for the behavioral information but also for the contextual information (Experiment 1-2); that this memory advantage only occurs when the encoding goal requires some degree of cognitive organization (Experiment 2); and finally, that meaningful contextual information also enhances memory when presented at retrieval (Experiment 3). These results are consistent with a situated cognition perspective according to which the context where cognitive activities take place can be used to facilitate cognitive activity. We discuss the implications of these results for the standard person memory view and identify new routes for future research.Publication Metadata only Socially situated cognition in perspective(2013) Smith, Eliot R.; Department of Psychology; Semin, Gün Refik; Researcher; Department of Psychology; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; N/AIn 2004, we (Smith & Semin, 2004) described a conceptual framework of “socially situated cognition,” encompassing four major themes. Cognition is for adaptive action, involves the body and sensori-motor systems, is situated in immediate intercourse with the environment, and is distributed across other minds and tools. Here, we introduce two broader themes: social cognition is special because other people's movements and other characteristics can be mapped onto our own bodies; and social cognition is emergent, influencing the parts and subsystems that generate it rather than the reverse causal direction. We then review the current state of theory and research in the four topic areas that we laid out in 2004. We conclude by noting that much research on these themes has occurred outside of social psychology, and stressing the benefits for the future of an integrative, interdisciplinary approach to these core issues of social psychology.Publication Metadata only 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; 105011Research 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.Publication Metadata only When the upps-p model of impulsivity meets a revised approach: the development and validation of the true multidimensional impulsivity scale(Taylor & Francis, 2023) Department of Psychology; Department of Psychology; N/A; Department of Psychology; Department of Psychology; Department of Psychology; Türkmen, İrem; Rodoplu, Nilay; Üner, Beril Simay; Esmer, Şeref Can; Atalay, Ayşe Altan; Usta, Berivan Ece; Undergraduate Student; Undergraduate Student; Undergraduate Student; Master Student; Teaching Faculty; Teaching Faculty; Department of Psychology; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; Graduate School of Social Sciences and Humanities; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; N/A; N/A; N/A; N/A; 205807; 201110There 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.
