    Master Thesis
    Humans Vs. Animals: a Contemporary Moral Perspective Toward Dietary and Ethical Lifestyles
    (Kadir Has Üniversitesi, 2019) Bayramoğlu, Yunus; Harma, Mehmet
    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 (e.g., saving five dogs or one human) in the ethical dilemmas, that omnivores favored human life over animal life despite they were outnumbered (thus showing a speciesist attitude), whereas vegans showed species-egalitarian decision-making pattern and disregarded participants' species in dilemmas while making their ethical judgments. We also developed three new measures: Motivations for Veganism Scale (MfVS), Cow's Milk, Dairy and Eggs Commitment Scale (CMDECS) and Vegan Lifestyle Scale (VLS). MfVS included three motivations of ethical, health and environmental and its structural validity was supported by our data, suggesting there were three core motivations in the way of becoming a vegan. CMDECS and VLS were developed to differentiate between dietary vegans and lifestyle vegans, but there were inadequate number participants so this could not be investigated. We also found that vegans were thinking more analytically and more open-minded. Finally, we found significant dietary and ethical lifestyle differences in terms of Moral Foundations. Results were interpreted in the light of the existing body of knowledge about moral psychology.

    The Mediator Role of Willingness To Sacrifice in the Association Between Socio-Economic Status and Relationship Satisfaction
    (Springer, 2023) Topal, Mustafa Anil; Aktas, Busra Eylem; Basoglu, Selim; Harma, Mehmet
    This study aimed to investigate the potential underlying mechanisms for why couples from lower socioeconomic status (SES) tend to experience poor-quality romantic relationships from two distinct perspectives: the self-protection hypothesis and social class from a culture perspective. We examined the indirect effect of willingness to sacrifice personal interests on the association between SES and relationship satisfaction using a representative sample from Turkey through cross-sectional self-report scales (N = 1170; M-age=47.44; SD = 11.68). Participants completed a series of questions, including willingness to sacrifice, relationship satisfaction, and SES questions. Multiple regression analyses revealed that willingness to sacrifice did not have a buffering or facilitator role in the association between SES and relationship satisfaction. These findings suggest that willingness to sacrifice is essential for relationship satisfaction regardless of SES. Overall, this study contributes to understanding the role of willingness to sacrifice in romantic relationships and its relationship with SES.

    Examining Actor-Partner Effects Between Social Dominance, Relationship Power, Sexism, and Marital Quality
    (Wiley, 2023) Ymamgulyyeva, Aysoltan; Kafescioglu, Niluefer; Harma, Mehmet
    Objective: This study aimed to investigate the actor-partner effects of attitudes toward group-based inequality as measured by social dominance orientation (SDO) and marital quality, and the indirect actor-partner effects of SDO on marital quality via ambivalent sexism and partners' perceptions of their own relationship power toward their partner. Background: Previous research suggests that certain social attitudes play a role in relationship processes. However, it is unclear whether broader views on social inequality could have an effect on partners' marital quality. Method: Ninety heterosexual married couples in Turkey (N = 180) responded via an online survey on SDO, marital quality, relationship power, and ambivalent sexism. Actorpartner interdependence model (APIM) and actor-partner interdependence model of mediation (APIMeM) were conducted to examine the direct and indirect actor-partner effects. Results: For indirect effects, men's SDO was negatively associated with their marital quality through their relationship power and hostile sexism. No significant indirect effects were found for women. However, women's relationship power was positively and their benevolent sexism was negatively associated with their own and their partners' marital quality. Conclusion: Our findings help develop a more comprehensive understanding of how the political, social, and personal aspects of our lives are connected with one another. Implications: Our study points to the importance of exploring the topic of men's and women's views toward social inequality and its effects on their close relationships in clinical practice and relational education.

    Different Types of Religiosity and Lay Intuitions About Free Will/Determinism in Turkey
    (Routledge Journals Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2018) Yılmaz, Onurcan; Bahçekapılı, Hasan G.; Harma, Mehmet
    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 FAD-Plus provided good fit to the data. Study 2 revealed that FW belief is not related to any of the religiosity measures (intrinsic extrinsic quest) whereas fatalistic determinism is consistently related to religiosity. The unique predictor of free will turned out to be belief in a just world. Overall these findings indicate that FW belief is not inherently related to religiosity in Turkey whereas fatalistic determinism is central to Turkish people's belief systems.

    Validation of Morality as Cooperation Questionnaire in Turkey, and Its Relation to Prosociality, Ideology, and Resource Scarcity
    (Hogrefe Publishing GmbH, 2021) Yılmaz, Onurcan; Harma, Mehmet; Doğruyol, Burak
    The theory of morality as cooperation (MAC) argues that there are seven distinct and evolved universal moral foundations. Curry, Chesters, and Van Lissa (2019) developed a scale to test this theoretical approach and showed that the Relevance subscale of the MAC questionnaire (MAC-Q) fits data well, unlike the Judgment and full-form. However, an independent test of the validity of this questionnaire has not been hitherto conducted, and its relation with ideology is unknown. In the first study, we attempted to validate the Turkish form of MAC-Q and then examined the relationship with prosociality and political ideology. The results showed that the fit indices of MAC-Q Relevance are above the standard criteria, unlike the Judgment and full form (n = 445), and significant relationships with prosociality and political ideology provided additional evidence for the validity. We used the MAC-Q Relevance in Study 2 (n = 576, Turkey) and Study 3 (n = 921, US), and investigated whether manipulating resource scarcity influences the endorsement of MAC. Although there was no effect of the manipulation, correlational findings provided some support for the predictive validity of MAC-Q. Overall, MAC-Q Relevance performs well in representing the lay notions of morality in both Turkey and the US, unlike full-form.

    Does Your Love Lift Me Higher? A Direct Replication of the Energising Role of Secure Relationships
    (John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2025) Lagap, Adar Cem; Harma, Mehmet
    Previous work has revealed that priming people with significant others increases feelings of security and energy, and in turn, boosts exploration motivations. In this preregistered study, we directly replicated Luke et al.'s (2012) Study 2 (N = 281). We found similar results as the replicated study regarding increased security feelings and exploration motivations on the self-report measures after the priming. However, we did not find any support for the increased energy feelings after the attachment security priming. In addition, contrary to Luke et al.'s (2012) results, energy feelings did not mediate the relationship between security priming and exploration motivations. A discussion of null findings, along with the limitations of self-reports and potential misinterpretation of the mediational analyses, follows. We also discuss possible future implications of the current findings.

    Implicit Evaluations About Driving Skills Predicting Driving Performance
    (Elsevier Science, 2018) Bıçaksız, Pinar; Harma, Mehmet; Doğruyol, Burak; Lajunen, Timo; Özkan, Türker
    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 results showed that the implicit test and the self-reported driving skills scale showed different patterns of relationships with the outcome measures in the regression analyses. In addition the implicit measure of driving skills moderated the relationship between self-reported driving skills and some of the outcome measures used in the current study. These results support the need to use the implicit measures in addition to self-report measures to better understand drivers evaluations of their driving skills which has the potential to influence their risky driving.
