Different Types of Religiosity and Lay Intuitions About Free Will/Determinism in Turkey
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Routledge Journals Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2018)Religiosity has been found to be positively associated with belief in free will (FW) in the Western world. In the Muslim world however religiosity exhibits several characteristics that set it apart from the Western world including an overemphasis on fate or divine predestination. We therefore investigated FW/determinism beliefs and different types of religiosity and conservatism in two samples in Turkey a predominantly Muslim country (N=1690). In Study 1 a confirmatory factor analysis showed that ...

Executive function and theory of mind as predictors of socially withdrawn behavior in institutionalized children
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Wiley, 2018)False‐belief understanding and executive functions are two main sociocognitive abilities reliably linked to child social competence. Although institution‐reared children are especially at risk for behavioral problems and cognitive delays, the role that executive function and false‐belief understanding might play in the social withdrawal of institutionalized children has not been examined. The current study used two‐wave data to investigate the concurrent and longitudinal relations of social ...

Humans vs. animals: A contemporary moral perspective toward dietary and ethical lifestyles
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Kadir Has University, 2019)Dietary practices are linked with ethics and morality based on different sources of motivations (e.g., moral philosophy). Some of these dietary practices can become a lifestyle with different behavioral patterns, habits and consuming choices in daily life (e.g., veganism). Veganism, by definition, opposes anthropocentrism (human-centrism) and regards animal life as having equal moral value as human life. Thus, using a revised version of the trolley problem, including species-incompatible scenarios ...

Implicit evaluations about driving skills predicting driving performance
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Elsevier Science, 2018)Self-reported measures of driving skills have the potential shortcomings of the general self report methodology such as social responding and self-enhancement biases. In the present study the Implicit Association Test (IAT) procedure was adapted to measure the implicit evaluations of driving skills. The performance of IAT and an explicit self-report measure of driving skills were compared in predicting driver behaviors and performance. Ninetyone Turkish male drivers participated in the study. The ...

Intergroup tolerance leads to subjective morality, which in turn is associated with (but does not lead to) reduced religiosity
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Sage Publications, 2020)Although the effect of religious belief on morally relevant behavior is well demonstrated, the reverse influence is less known. In this research, we examined the influence of morality on religious belief. In the first study, we used two samples from Turkey and the United States, and specifically tested the hypothesis that intergroup tolerance predicts a shift in meta-ethical views toward subjective morality, which in turn predicts decreased religious belief. To examine the relationship between ...

The Relationship Between Attachment to God Prosociality and Image of God
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Sage Publications Ltd, 2018)Although religiosity fosters some antisocial behaviors (e.g. support for suicide attacks) it is well-known that it also enhances in-group cooperation and prosociality (e.g. donating to charity). Supernatural punishment hypothesis suggests that the fear of punishment from an invisible potent and powerful supernatural agent can keep everyone in line and encourage prosociality. We first investigated this relationship in a predominantly Muslim country and then tested a model suggesting that attachment ...

'Who wants left-wing policies? Economic preferences and political cleavages in Turkey'
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2020)We administer a survey of economic policy preferences to a representative sample of the Turkish voting-age population. We show that policy preferences are distributed in non-linear ways that are at odds with what could be expected from a conventional left-right division. We find that while objective socioeconomic differences are bad at predicting economic policy preferences, the latter are distinctly associated with politically salient cleavages built on religiosity and ethnicity. We also examine ...
