In the field of intergroup prosocial behavior, which has recently begun to be included in the field of social psychology, studies examining actions concerning poverty have also recently begun. However, both in the case of Turkey and for the field as a whole, there is still much to be examined from the perspective of intergroup prosociality regarding poverty. Three studies were conducted to examine the role of ideological orientations, causal attributions of poverty and emotions on poverty-related actions. The first study showed that participants explained poverty largely through structural inequalities, that sympathy was their most prominent emotion concerning poverty, and that charity was the prominent action engaged. Additionally, it was observed that charity was a type of action used by both rightand left-oriented participants, while sociopolitical action was practiced only by leftoriented participants. While the role of sympathy emotions such as sadness and compassion were observed in charitable actions, it was observed that leftist ideological orientation and feelings of outrage were distinctive in engagement in sociopolitical action. Study 2a tested the factor structures of the scales developed within the scope of this thesis and previously in order to test the hypotheses of the study. Study 2b tested the pathways to activist and benevolent support, which are two different types of intergroup prosocial behavior. The results revealed that pathways to activist support differed in terms of ideology and anger about poverty, whereas pathways to charitable support were similar in terms of sympathy

A gaze-centered multimodal approach to human-human social interaction
Acartürk, Cengiz; Kalkan, Sinan (2017-06-23)
This study aims at investigating gaze aversion behavior in human-human dyads during the course of a conversation. Our goal is to identify the parametric infrastructure, which will underlie the development of gaze behavior in Human Robot Interaction. We employed a job interview setting, where pairs (an interviewer and an interviewee) conducted mock job interviews. Three pairs of native speakers took part in the experiment. Two eye-tracking glasses recorded the scene video, the audio and the eye gaze position...
A critical evaluation of enabling strategies toward poverty reduction : the case conditional cash transfer program in Turkey
Yoloğlu, A. Cenap; Şengül, Hüseyin Tarık; Department of Urban Policy Planning and Local Governments (2004)
The aim of this study is to investigate enabling strategies toward poverty reduction under the broader concept of empowerment through participation. It is believed that such a strategy would decrease the cost of social policies by redefining the problem of poverty as an individual problem rather than a structural one rooted in social and economic policies. By following this reasoning, the main aim is defined as reducing the number of poor instead of poverty itself as a part of wider policies. Within this fr...
A multi-group analysis of the effects of individual differences in mindfulness on nomophobia
Arpaci, Ibrahim; Baloğlu, Mustafa; Kesici, Şahin (2019-03-01)
This study aimed to investigate the impact of individual differences in mindfulness on nomophobia. We developed and validated two structural models to identify the relationship between mindfulness and nomophobia. The 'Nomophobia Questionnaire' and the 'Mindful Attention Awareness Scale' were used to obtain data from the subjects. One-way MANOVA results suggested a statistically significant difference in nomophobia based on higher versus lower mindfulness. Further, a multi-group analysis was conducted to tes...
The Role of Institutional Attitudes toward Veganism in Collective Action Intentions of Vegans
Sağlamöz, Ahmed Faruk; Cingöz Ulu, Banu (2021-07-18)
In this research we investigate the extent to which collective action intentions of vegans vary as a function of institutional attitudes towards veganism.To do so, we conducted two studies. In the first study, we examined the pathway to collective action intention by employing the Encapsulated Model of Social Identity in Collective Action (EMSICA). We expected three distinctive psychological processes; namely, identity, injustice and efficacy to predict collective action. Structural Equation Models s...
A Meta-Analysis of the Effectiveness of Randomized Controlled Positive Psychological Interventions on Subjective and Psychological Well-Being
Koydemir, Selda; Soekmez, Asli Bugay; Schuetz, Astrid (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-01-02)
We conducted a meta-analysis to analyze the effects of randomized controlled positive psychological interventions on subjective and psychological well-being. Our aim was to extend previous research by following a more comprehensive approach in the selection of studies, by including new moderators, by focusing on adult nonclinical populations and increases in well-being, and by comparing the effects of interventions targeting subjective and psychological well-being (i.e., hedonism or eudemonia) or a combinat...
