Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 2Can Reflection Mitigate Covid-19 Vaccine Conspiracy Beliefs and Hesitancy(Routledge, 2025) Bayrak, F.; Kayatepe, E.; Özman, N.; Yilmaz, O.; Isler, O.; Saribay, S.A.Objective design: Periods of social turmoil, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, tend to amplify conspiracy beliefs, evidenced by increased vaccine hesitancy. Despite this trend, effective interventions targeting vaccine-related conspiracy beliefs remain scarce, partly due to underexplored cognitive processes. Three competing theoretical accounts offer differing predictions about the role of reflective thinking in supporting conspiracy beliefs: the Motivated Reasoning Account suggests reflection strengthens commitment to pre-existing attitudes; the Reflective Reasoning Account posits that reflection enhances belief accuracy; and the Reflective Doubt Account proposes reflection fosters general scepticism. Main outcome measures: Utilising open science practices and a validated technique to activate reflection, we conducted an experimental investigation with a diverse sample (N = 1483) segmented by vaccine attitudes. We investigated the impact of reflection on specific and generic COVID-19 conspiracy beliefs and vaccine-support behaviours across pro-vaccine, neutral, and vaccine-hesitant groups, while examining the moderating effects of scientific literacy, intellectual humility, and actively open-minded thinking. Results: The confirmatory analysis provided no direct support for the theoretical predictions. However, findings indicated that intellectual humility significantly moderated the effect of reflection, enhancing vaccine-support behaviour among participants with high intellectual humility, highlighting the complex interplay of cognitive style and prior attitudes in shaping responses to conspiracy beliefs and vaccine-support actions. Conclusion: The study highlights that while reflective thinking alone did not directly influence vaccine support behavior, its positive effect emerged among individuals with higher intellectual humility, emphasizing the importance of individual differences in shaping belief-related outcomes. © 2025 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Facial Basis of Stereotypes: Judgements of Warmth and Competence Based on Cross-Group Typicality/Distinctiveness of Faces(Wiley, 2024) Saribay, S. Adil; Pokorny, Simon; Turecek, Petr; Kleisner, KarelHuman migration is an increasingly common phenomenon and migrants are at risk of disadvantageous treatment. We reasoned that migrants may receive differential treatment by locals based on the closeness of their facial features to the host average. Residents of T & uuml;rkiye, the country with the largest number of refugees currently, served as participants. Because many of these refugees are of Arabic origin, we created target facial stimuli varying along the axis connecting Turkish and Arabic morphological prototypes (excluding skin colour) computed using geometric morphometrics and available databases. Participants made judgements of two universal dimensions of social perception-warmth and competence-on these faces. We predicted that participants judging faces manipulated towards the Turkish average would provide higher warmth and competence ratings compared to judging the same faces manipulated towards the Arabic average. Bayesian statistical tools were employed to estimate parameter values in multilevel models with intercorrelated varying effects. The findings did not support the prediction and revealed raters (as well as target faces) to be an important source of variation in social judgements. In the absence of simple cues (e.g. skin colour, group labels), the effect of facial morphology on social judgements may be much more complex than previously assumed.Article Moral Framing Effects on Environmental Attitudes: A Conceptual Replication and Extension of Feinberg and Willer (2013)(Academic Press Ltd- Elsevier Science Ltd, 2025) Cavdar, Dilara; Tepe, Beyza; Saribay, S. Adil; Yilmaz, OnurcanThis study investigates the relationship between moral framing, political orientation, and pro-environmental attitudes, replicating and extending Feinberg and Willer (2013) in a non-Western context. Using a Turkish-speaking sample (N = 699), we examined the effectiveness of care and sanctity-framed messages and the moderating role of actively open-minded thinking (AOT). Our findings partially replicated the original study. Sanctity framing increased pro-environmental attitudes among conservatives, while care framing had no significant effect. Political conservatism was negatively associated with pro-environmental attitudes, confirming prior findings. Exploratory analyses revealed that AOT moderated the effects of sanctity framing on environmental attitudes, with individuals low or moderate in AOT being more responsive. Both care and sanctity frames increased environmental donation, addressing the intention-behavior gap. However, cultural nuances, such as the collectivist orientation of the sample, may have influenced the care frame's ineffectiveness. The study highlights the importance of cultural context in moral framing research and underscores the need for context-specific climate communication strategies.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 5Facial Masculinity Increases Perceptions of Men's Age, But Not Perceptions of Their Health: Data From an Arab Sample(SPRINGERNATURE, 2021) Alharbi, Sarah A. H.; Holzleitner, Iris J.; Lee, Anthony J.; Saribay, S. Adil; Jones, Benedict C.Masculine characteristics in men's faces are often assumed to function as health cues. However, evidence for this assumption from empirical tests is mixed. For example, research on Western women's face perceptions found that masculinized versions of men's faces were perceived to be older, but not healthier, than feminized versions. Since research on this topic has focused on Western women's face perceptions, we investigated the effects of masculinizing face images on Arab women's perceptions of men's health (study 1, N = 211) and age (study 2, N = 209). Arab women perceived masculinized versions of male face images to be older, but not healthier, than feminized versions. These results add to a growing body of evidence challenging the assumption that male facial masculinity functions primarily as a health cue.Article Citation - Scopus: 3Reflection Predicts and Leads To Decreased Conspiracy Belief(Elsevier B.V., 2025) Bayrak, F.; Sümer, V.; Dogruyol, B.; Saribay, S.A.; Alper, S.; Isler, O.; Yilmaz, O.Recent research indicates a generally negative relationship between reflection and conspiracy beliefs. However, most of the existing research relies on correlational data on WEIRD (Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, Democratic) populations. The few existing experimental studies are limited by weak manipulation techniques that fail to reliably activate cognitive reflection. Hence, questions remain regarding (1) the consistency of the negative relationship between conspiracy beliefs and cognitive reflection, (2) the extent of cross-cultural variation and potential moderating factors, and (3) the presence of a causal link between cognitive reflection and conspiracy beliefs. In two preregistered studies, we investigated the association between cognitive reflection and conspiracy beliefs. First, we studied the correlation between two variables across 48 cultures and investigated whether factors such as WEIRDness and narcissism (personal and collective) moderate this relationship. In the second study, we tested the causal effect of reflection using a reliable and effective manipulation technique—debiasing training—on both generic and specific conspiracy beliefs. The first study confirmed the negative association between reflection and belief in conspiracy theories across cultures, with the association being notably stronger in non-WEIRD societies. Both personal and collective narcissism played significant moderating roles. The second study demonstrated that debiasing training significantly decreases both generic and COVID-19 conspiracy beliefs in a non-WEIRD context, with more pronounced effects for general conspiracy beliefs. Our research supports that reflection is a consistent cross-cultural predictor of conspiracy beliefs and that activating reflection can reduce such beliefs through rigorous experimental interventions. © 2025 Elsevier B.V.Article Citation - WoS: 41Citation - Scopus: 70How and Why Patterns of Sexual Dimorphism in Human Faces Vary Across the World(2021) Kleisner, Karel; Turecek, Petr; Robert, S. Craig; Havlieck, Jan; Valentova, Jaroslava Varella; Akoko, Robert Mbe; Leongomez, Juan David; Apostol, Silviu; Varella, Marco A. C.; Sarıbay, AdilSexual selection, including mate choice and intrasexual competition, is responsible for the evolution of some of the most elaborated and sexually dimorphic traits in animals. Although there is sexual dimorphism in the shape of human faces, it is not clear whether this is similarly due to mate choice, or whether mate choice affects only part of the facial shape difference between men and women. Here we explore these questions by investigating patterns of both facial shape and facial preference across a diverse set of human populations. We find evidence that human populations vary substantially and unexpectedly in both the magnitude and direction of facial sexually dimorphic traits. In particular, European and South American populations display larger levels of facial sexual dimorphism than African populations. Neither cross-cultural differences in facial shape variation, sex differences in body height, nor differing preferences for facial femininity and masculinity across countries, explain the observed patterns of facial dimorphism. Altogether, the association between sexual shape dimorphism and attractiveness is moderate for women and weak (or absent) for men. Analysis that distinguishes between allometric and non-allometric components reveals that non-allometric facial dimorphism is preferred in women's faces but not in faces of men. This might be due to different regimes of ongoing sexual selection acting on men, such as stronger intersexual selection for body height and more intense intrasexual physical competition, compared with women.Master Thesis Holistik Düşünce Tarzı ile İklim Krizi, Covıd-19 Salgını ve Ekonomik Eşitsizliğe Dair Tutum ve Davranış Niyetleri Arasındaki İlişki: Ağ Analizi(2024) Özman, Nagihan; Sarıbay, Selahattin Adilİklim değişikliği, COVID-19 salgını ve ekonomik eşitsizlik son birkaç yıldır önemli küresel sorunlar haline gelmiştir. Bu problemler, önceki tehditlerden daha karmaşıktır ve bu nedenle uygun bilişsel stiller gerektirmektedir. Mevcut çalışma (N = 631), holistik düşünce stili ile bu tehditlere karşı harekete geçme tutumları ve niyetleriyle ilişkili olabilecek bir dizi değişken arasındaki ilişkiyi araştırmıştır. Katılımcılar, 11 tane öz-bildirim ölçeğinden oluşan çevrimiçi bir test bataryasını tamamlamışlardır. Bu amaçla ağ analizleri yapılmıştır. Sonuçlar, karmaşık neden-sonuç ilişkilerini algılamaya yönelik holistik eğilim (Nedensellik bileşeni) ile doğaya yönelik risklerin farkındalığı ve doğaya karşı duygusal yakınlık arasında pozitif bir bağlantı olduğunu göstermektedir. Bütünü dikkate alma eğilimi (Dikkat bileşeni), kamusal alanlarda daha fazla çevre yanlısı davranma isteği ile ilgili bulunmuştur. Ayrıca, nedensellik bileşeni COVID-19 salgınına yönelik önleyici davranışlarda bulunmayla pozitif bağlantılı çıkmıştır. Gelecekte değişim bekleme eğilimi (Değişim bileşeni) ve sağcı ekonomik politikaları desteklemek negatif ilişkili bulunmuştur. Nedenselliğin yönü belirsizliğini korusa da bu sonuçlar, daha holistik düşünmenin küresel tehditleri anlamayı ve etkilerini hafifletmek için harekete geçmeyi kolaylaştırma olasılığını ortaya koymaktadır.Article Are Holistic Thinkers Intellectually Humbler? a First Test(Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2024) Gungor, Mertcan; Kayatepe, Emre; Ozman, Nagihan; Sencan, Rueya Su; Saribay, S. AdilIntellectual humility (IH) is the tendency to consider that one's beliefs might be fallible. In a pre-registered preliminary study with an undergraduate sample (n = 350), we adapted IH measures to Turkish and in line with past research, we replicated IH's positive correlation with Openness to Experience and negative correlation with Closed-Mindedness. However, IH was not related to Discomfort with Ambiguity. Moreover, consistent with recent theoretical discussions of an overlap between IH and certain aspects of East Asian worldviews, we found that holistic thinking tendency positively predicted IH scores, beyond social desirability and effortful thinking. Our confirmatory study (n = 693) revealed that higher levels of middle way approach and perception of change components of holistic thinking were associated with greater intellectual humility beyond demographics and other substantive predictors of IH. While the effects were small in magnitude and their generalizability awaits further testing, these associations are sensible and motivate continued exploration of the relationship between IH and holistic thinking.Article Attractiveness Differentially Affects Direct Versus Indirect Face Evaluations in Two Cultures(Sage Publications Inc, 2023) Cassidy, Brittany S.; Saribay, S. Adil; Yuksel, Huseyin; Kleisner, KarelAlthough decades of research have identified facial features relating to people's evaluations of faces, specific features have largely been examined in isolation from each other. Recent work shows that considering the relative importance of these features in face evaluations is important to test theoretical assumptions of impression formation. Here, we examined how two facial features of evolutionary interest, facial attractiveness and facial-width-to-height ratio (FWHR), relate to evaluations of faces across two cultures. Because face evaluations are typically directly measured via self-reports, we also examined whether these features exert differential effects on both direct and indirect face evaluations. Evaluations of standardized photos naturally varying in facial attractiveness and FWHR were collected using the Affect Misattribution Procedure in the United States and Turkey. When their relative contributions were considered in the same model, facial attractiveness, but not FWHR, related to face evaluations across cultures. This positive attractiveness effect was stronger for direct versus indirect evaluations across cultures. These findings highlight the importance of considering the relative contributions of facial features to evaluations across cultures and suggest a culturally invariant role of attractiveness when intentionally evaluating faces.Article Citation - WoS: 17Citation - Scopus: 18Distinctiveness and Femininity, Rather Than Symmetry and Masculinity, Affect Facial Attractiveness Across the World(Elsevier Science inc, 2024) Kleisner, Karel; Turecek, Petr; Saribay, S. Adil; Pavlovic, Ondrej; David Leongomez, Juan; Roberts, S. Craig; Varella, Marco A. C.Studies investigating facial attractiveness in humans have frequently been limited to studying the effect of individual morphological factors in isolation from other facial shape components in the same population. In this study, we go beyond this approach by focusing on multiple components and populations while combining geometric morphometrics of 72 standardized frontal facial landmarks and a Bayesian statistical framework. We investigate preferences in both sexes for three structural components of other sex facial beauty that are traditionally considered indicators of biological quality: symmetry, sexual dimorphism, and distinctiveness (i.e., the opposite of averageness). Based on a large sample of faces (n = 1550) from 10 populations across the world (Brazil, Cameroon, Czechia, Colombia, India, Namibia, Romania, Turkey, UK, and Vietnam), we found that distinctiveness negatively affects the perception of attractiveness in both sexes and that this association is stable across all studied populations. We corroborated some previous results indicating both a positive effect of femininity on male assessment of female facial beauty and a null or weak effect of masculinity on female evaluation of male facial attractiveness. Facial symmetry had no effect on facial attractiveness. In concert with other recent studies, our results support the importance of facial prototypicality but cast doubt on the role of symmetry as one of the key constituents of attractiveness in the human face.
