Master Thesis Derin Düşünme 17 Ay Sonra Faydacı Davranışla İlişkili(2025) Vurgun, Rozelin; Yılmaz, OnurcanAhlaki bilişin İkili İşlem Modeli (İİM) derin düşünmenin sezgisel süreçleri geçersiz kılarak faydacı yargıyı desteklediğini öne sürmektedir. Ancak, İİM'yi destekleyen çalışmaların çoğu, sınırlı dış geçerlilikleri ve psikopatiyle ilişkisi nedeniyle eleştirilen varsayımsal kurban ikilemlerine dayanmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, Zaman 1'de (N = 1,200), Oxford Faydacılık Ölçeği'nin tarafsız iyilik ve araçsal zarar olmak üzere iki boyutunun yanı sıra derin düşünmeyi, düşünme stillerini ve bilişsel yeteneği ölçülmüştür. On yedi ay sonra, Zaman 2'de (N = 321), gerçek ahlaki davranışlarını değerlendirmek için tasarlanmış teşvikli ekonomik oyun olan Parasal Vagon İkilemi'ni oynamak için Zaman 1'deki aynı katılımcılar tekrar davet edilmiştir. Ayrıca karar gerekçelerini (örneğin ahlaksızlık, erdem ahlakı, deontoloji, faydacılık, kadercilik ve eşitsizlikten kaçınma). Sonuçlar, Zaman 1'deki derin düşünme puanlarının Zaman 2'deki faydacı davranışı yordayarak İİM'yi desteklemiştir. Ancak, ne tarafsız iyilik ne de araçsal zarar Zaman 2'deki faydacı davranışı yordamamıştır. Ek olarak, yalnızca faydacı gerekçelendirme faydacı davranışla pozitif olarak ilişkiliyken, tarafsız iyilik faydacı, deontoloji, erdem ahlakı ve eşitsizlikten kaçınma dahil olmak üzere çeşitli gerekçelendirmelerle pozitif olarak ilişkili bulunmuştur. Bu bulgu, tarafsız iyilik alt ölçeğinin faydacı ahlaktan ziyade daha genel bir ahlaki eğilimi yansıtabileceğini düşündürmektedir. Ek olarak, dindarlık derin düşünme ile faydacı davranış arasındaki ilişkide aracı rolü oynamıştır. Bu bulgu ise muhtemelen dindarlar ile olmayanlar arasındaki epistemik normlardaki farklılıklardan kaynaklanıyor olabilir (örneğin, otoriteye ve geleneğe güvenmek ile kanıta dayalı akıl yürütme). Genel olarak bulgular, derin düşünmenin faydacı davranış üzerindeki uzun vadeli yordama gücünü, faydacı karardaki olası epistemik norm farklılıklarını ve ahlak çalışmalarında davranışsal ölçümler kullanmanın önemini vurgulamaktadır.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Reflective Thinking Predicts Disbelief in God Across 19 Countries(Springer, 2025) Ghasemi, Omid; Yilmaz, Onurcan; Isler, Ozan; Terry, Jenny; Ross, Robert M.In the present study, we tested three hypotheses about relationships between reflective thinking, intuitive thinking (both measured using the Cognitive Reflection Test; CRT), and belief in God or gods (BiG) in university students across 19 culturally and geographically diverse countries (n = 7,771). In support of our first hypothesis, we found a negative relationship between reflective thinking and BiG; and in support of our second hypothesis, we found a positive relationship between intuitive thinking and BiG. Contrary to our third hypothesis, we found no evidence that measuring CRT prior to measuring BiG decreased BiG. Given that this is the first large cross-cultural test of these hypotheses to have a preregistered analysis plan, the first to hold education constant across countries, and the first to use both Bayesian and frequentist methods, these results considerably bolster the evidence in support of the first two hypotheses and against the third hypothesis.Master Thesis Kolektif Tehditlerin İş Birliği ve Ahlaki Yargılar Üzerine Etkisi(2023) Velioğlu, İlayda; Yılmaz, OnurcanTerörizm, 9/11 saldırılarından bu yana psikoloji literatüründe önemli bir odak noktası haline gelmiştir. Ancak terörün öngörülemeyen ve kontrol edilemeyen doğası, bu konu üzerinde deneysel araştırmalar yapmayı zorlaştırmaktadır. Önceki çalışmalar terörün ahlaki değerlendirmeler üzerindeki etkilerini incelemek için genellikle küçük örneklemlerle korelasyonel desenler kullanmış, ekolojik geçerliliği düşük ortamlarda zayıf manipülasyonlar kullanmış ve gerçek davranış ölçümü yerine niyetleri ölçmeye odaklanmıştır. Dahası, bu çalışmaların genelleştirilebilirliği, genellikle WEIRD (Batılı, yaygın, endüstriyel, zengin ve demokratik) kültürlerden katılımcılar içerdiği için sınırlıdır. Bu sınırlamaları ele almak amacıyla, bu çalışma 2022 İstanbul bombalı saldırısının katılımcıların ahlaki değerlendirmeleri ve iş birliği davranışları üzerindeki etkilerini test etmeyi hedeflemiştir. Aynı bireyleri değerlendiren bir ön test-son test tasarımı kullanılmış ve ayrıca sebep-sonuç ilişkisi için bir bombalama hatırlatma manipülasyonu gerçekleştirilmiştir. Sonuçlar, bombalama sonrasında bağlanım temellerine verilen önemin arttığını, bireyselleştirici temellerde ise bir değişiklik olmadığını göstermiştir. Ayrıca, manipülasyon ile ideoloji arasında bireyselleştirici temeller üzerinde etkileşim olduğu belirlenmiştir. Bombalama hatırlatılan sağcı katılımcılar bireyselleştirici temellere verdikleri önemi azaltmışken, orta ve sol görüşlü katılımcılar bunu artırmıştır, bu da reaktif muhafazakarlık hipotezini desteklemektedir. Dahası, Diktatör Oyunu ile ölçülen cömertlik davranışında belirgin bir azalma bulunmuşken, Kamusal Mallar Oyunu ile ölçülen iş birliği davranışında anlamlı bir fark bulunmamıştır. Bununla birlikte, manipülasyonun kendisi iş birliği üzerinde temel etkiye sahiptir. Bombalama olayı hatırlatılan katılımcılar, hatırlatılmayanlara göre daha az iş birliği davranışı sergilemiştir. Bu sonuçlar, terörizm tehdidi altında, Türkiye'deki muhafazakarların Amerikalı muhafazakarlardan farklı olarak bireyselleştirici temelleri değersizleştirdiğini ve terörizm tehdidinin gerçek iş birliği davranışı üzerinde önemli bir etkisi olduğunu göstermektedir. Genel olarak, ekolojik geçerliliği yüksek bir ortamda gerçekleştirilen bu çalışma, terörizmin ahlaki davranışlar ve niyetler üzerindeki nedensel etkilerine dair değerli bir perspektif sunmaktadır.Article Citation - WoS: 13Citation - Scopus: 16The Positive Association of Education With the Trust in Science and Scientists Is Weaker in Highly Corrupt Countries(Sage Publications Ltd, 2023) Alper, Sinan; Yelbuz, Busra Elif; Akkurt, Sumeyra Bengisu; Yilmaz, OnurcanOne of the most prominent correlates of trust in science and scientists is education level, possibly because educated individuals have higher levels of science knowledge and thinking ability, suggesting that trusting science and scientists relies more on reflective thinking abilities. However, it is relatively more reasonable for highly educated individuals to suspect authority figures in highly corrupt countries. We tested this prediction in two nationally representative and probabilistic cross-cultural data sets (Study 1: 142 countries, N = 40,085; Study 2: 47 countries, N = 69,332), and found that the positive association between education and trust in scientists (Study 1) and science (Study 2) was weaker or non-existent in highly corrupt countries. The results did not change after statistically controlling for age, sex, household income, and residence. We suggest future research to be more considerate of the societal context in understanding how education status correlates with trust in science and scientists.Master Thesis Intuitive And Reflective Foundations Of Free Will And Scientific Determinism Özgür İrade ve Bilimsel Belirlenimciliğin Sezgisel ve Bilişsel Yansımayaya Dayalı Kökenleri(Kadir Has Üniversitesi, 2021) Aydaş, Berke; Yılmaz, OnurcanContrary to the past literature investigating the intuitive foundations of belief in free will and determinism, we offer a new way to empirically investigate the same topic using the dual-process model of mind. In an experiment using Turkish participants, where reliance on intuition and reflection was manipulated in a between-subjects design, we tried to estimate whether reflection increases or decreases the endorsement of free will and scientific determinism. In the experiment, participants were assigned to one of the four conditions, which are time-pressure (intuition), debiasing training (reflection), emotion induction (intuition), and control. In addition, in the time-pressure condition, we embedded a within-sample design in which participants were first asked to respond to belief in free will and determinism scales under time-pressure (i.e., allowing intuition) and then asked to revise their answers in no time-pressure condition (i.e., as control condition). Our main hypothesis posits that reflection would increase the endorsement of scientific determinism, and that it would decrease the endorsement of free will. On the other hand, we expect that intuition would decrease scientific determinism and increase free will. We also explore whether the individual propensity to think reflectively (as measured with the cognitive reflection test and the actively open-minded thinking scale) can serve as a boundary condition in understanding the effect of cognitive styles on free will and determinism beliefs. Also, the compatibility of free will and determinism beliefs was measured for exploratory purposes. Results indicated that between-subjects manipulations significantly affected belief in free will and determinism. Debiasing training diminished belief in free will but did not affect determinism beliefs. Time-pressure condition increased the endorsement of belief in free will and decreased determinism. Emotion prime and within-subject embedded condition did not produce significant results. The results partially support the view that intuition favors the belief in free will and impedes determinism.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 6Scarcity Improves Economic Valuations When Cognitively Salient(Elsevier, 2023) Isler, Ozan; Yilmaz, Onurcan; Dulleck, UweIn an influential article, Shah et al. (2015) hypothesized that resource scarcity weakens the effect of irrelevant contextual factors on economic valuations. The hypothesis that scarcity frames value qualifies the applicability of standard theories of rational choice and suggests a revised psychological foundation. In support, Shah et al. showed that differences in the willingness to pay for a commodity depending on where it was purchased (a fancy hotel vs. a run-down store) and in the willingness to travel to receive a fixed discount depend-ing on the size of the purchase (a cheap vs. an expensive computer) were smaller among those with low personal incomes. In a large-scale preregistered experiment (N = 3,442), we tested whether scarcity framed value during the COVID-19 pandemic as well. The sam-ple exhibited the canonical context effects overall. Consistent with the hypothesis, these effects tended to be smaller among those facing higher scarcity of personal income. Ex-tending the original findings, economic valuations of low-income earners improved, partic-ularly when scarcity was on the minds of the participants, as those with high financial and other resource scarcity concerns were less susceptible to the context effects. Our findings indicate that scarcity frames value, especially when it is cognitively salient, and emphasize the importance of considering contextual factors when attempting replications.(c) 2023 The Author(s).

In Study 1 (N = 550), Turkish participants rated faces with higher levels of perceived Dark Triad traits as less likely to be religious, to believe in God, and more likely to be left-winger, and to vote for a left-leaning party in all categories except for male narcissism. In a pre-registered follow-up study (N = 1001), we recruited a nationally representative US sample and replicated the same results with minor differences regarding male and female narcissism, and voting preferences. Participants' own political and ideological identities and their stereotypical evaluation of the target groups were mostly ineffective in explaining their predictions. The results suggest that people can perceive faces with higher levels of Dark Triad traits as less religious and less conservative.Article Citation - WoS: 4Multidimensional intuitive-analytic thinking style and its relation to moral concerns, epistemically suspect beliefs, and ideology(Cambridge Univ Press, 2023) Bayrak, Fatih; Dogruyol, Burak; Alper, Sinan; Yilmaz, OnurcanLiterature highlights the distinction between intuitive and analytic thinking as a prominent cognitive style distinction, leading to the proposal of various theories within the framework of the dual process model. However, it remains unclear whether individuals differ in their thinking styles along a single dimension, from intuitive to analytic, or if other dimensions are at play. Moreover, the presence of numerous thinking style measures, employing different terminology but conceptually overlapping, leads to confusion. To address these complexities, Newton et al. suggested the idea that individuals vary across multiple dimensions of intuitive-analytic thinking styles and distinguished thinking styles between 4 distinct types: Actively open-minded thinking, close-minded thinking, preference for effortful thinking, and preference for intuitive thinking. They proposed a new measure for this 4-factor disposition, The 4-Component Thinking Styles Questionnaire (4-CTSQ), to comprehensively capture the psychological outcomes related to thinking styles; however, no independent test exists. In the current pre-registered studies, we test the validity of 4-CTSQ for the first time beyond the original study and examine the association of the proposed measure with various factors, including morality, conspiracy beliefs, paranormal and religious beliefs, vaccine hesitancy, and ideology in an underrepresented culture, Turkiye. We found that the correlated 4-factor model of 4-CTSQ is an appropriate measure to capture individual differences based on cognitive style. The results endorse the notion that cognitive style differences are characterized by distinct structures rather than being confined to two ends of a single continuum.Article Citation - Scopus: 4Multidimensional Intuitive–analytic Thinking Style and Its Relation To Moral Concerns, Epistemically Suspect Beliefs, and Ideology(Society for Judgment and Decision making, 2023) Bayrak,F.; Dogruyol,B.; Alper,S.; Yilmaz,O.Literature highlights the distinction between intuitive and analytic thinking as a prominent cognitive style distinction, leading to the proposal of various theories within the framework of the dual process model.

While conservatism as motivated social cognition account (MSC) suggests that when people are under threat, they become more politically conservative, the Terror Management Theory (TMT) argues that threat leads people to support their existing worldviews. On the other hand, the Issue Ownership Model suggests that some parties or leaders might seem more compatible in solving certain problems. Therefore, different types of threats might result in various types of shifts in political ideology. To clarify the controversy, in this research, we examined the relationship between the type of threat and political ideology in a Turkish context. We investigated whether the type of threat might produce different effects on political ideology. Participants read one of the three articles, and then responded to the political ideology measures. Two articles (terror threat – climate threat) served as manipulations (intended to elicit a conservative shift or liberal shift) while the other one served as a control condition. Our main hypotheses were that (1) participants in the terror threat condition would score higher on the conservatism scale compared to other conditions, (2) participants in the climate threat condition would score lower on the conservatism scale compared to other conditions, and (3) participants in the threat conditions will display more negative mood assessment compared to control conditions. We found no support for our main hypotheses; on the other hand, our exploratory analyses yield significant results for future studies to take into account.
