Construal-level theory (CLT) proposes that psychological distance influences the level of abstraction at which something is mentally construed: Things perceived as less probable (likelihood) or further away from the here (spatial distance), now (temporal distance), or self (social distance) are thought about more abstractly. In this international multilab study, we tested four basic hypotheses derived from core assumptions of CLT and explore potential moderators and boundary conditions of the effects. Participants (N = 11,775) from 27 countries and regions were randomly assigned to one of four experimental protocols focused on different types of psychological distance (temporal, spatial, social, or likelihood), and each experiment manipulated psychological distance (close vs. distant). The protocols for temporal distance (n =2,941) and spatial distance (n = 2,973) were direct replications of Liberman and Trope (Study 1) and Fujita et al. (Study1), respectively. The remaining two protocols were paradigmatic replications, applying to social distance (n = 2,926) and likelihood (n = 2,936). The effects of psychological distance on construal level for the four present studies were as follows (positive effects are consistent with hypotheses): temporal, d = 0.08, 95% confidence interval [CI] = [0.003, 0.16] (effect in original study: d = 0.92); spatial, d = 0.04, 95% CI = [−0.03, 0.11] (effect in original study: d = 0.55); social, = −0.27, 95% CI = [−0.34, −0.19]; and likelihood, d = 0.03, 95% CI = [−0.05, 0.11]. Pretests indicated that valence and abstraction were confounded in response options on the outcome measure. Controlling for this confound eliminated the hypothesis-inconsistent effect of social distance, d = 0.006, 95% CI = [−0.05, 0.07]. These findings provide limited evidence for the predictions of the theory and present a critical challenge for CLT.

UAD Erasmus

Erasmus Öğrenim Hareketliliğinin Türk Öğrencileri Üzerindeki Etkisinin Elektrofizyolojik ve Özbildirim Ölçümleriyle İncelenmesi

Bu araştırmada, Erasmus programı kapsamında yurt dışında eğitim alma fırsatı bulan öğrencilerin gruplar arası önyargıları ve 21. yüzyıl becerilerindeki değişim düzeyleri incelenmiştir. Bu amaçla özbildirim ölçekleri, bireysel görüşmeler ve elektroensefalografi ölçümleri bir arada kullanılmış; bu yönüyle çalışma, literatürdeki ilk bütüncül yaklaşım olma özelliği taşımaktadır. Araştırma, İstanbul’daki bir vakıf üniversitesinde öğrenim gören benzer demografik özelliklere sahip toplam 11 öğrenciden oluşan bir örneklem üzerinde yürütülmüş; bu öğrencilerden altısı deney, beşi kontrol grubuna atanmıştır. İki aşamalı olarak tasarlanan çalışmada, öntest ve sontest uygulamaları gerçekleştirilmiştir. Gruplar arası önyargı düzeyleri Örtük Çağrışım Testi eşliğinde kaydedilen elektroensefalografi verileriyle, 21. yüzyıl becerileri ise dört farklı özbildirim ölçeği ile değerlendirilmiştir. Erasmus deneyimine ilişkin nitel veriler ise bireysel görüşmeler yoluyla toplanmıştır. Nicel bulgular, deney grubunda Erasmus deneyimi sonrasında uyumlu bloklardaki tepki sürelerinde hızlanma ve D skorlarında artış eğilimi olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Elektrofizyolojik verilerde, N400 bileşeninin son test genliklerinin ön teste göre azaldığı ve özellikle uyumsuz blok koşullarında marjinal anlamlılık düzeyinde bir düşüş eğilimi sergilediği gözlenmiştir. Bu bulgu, katılımcıların kültürel olarak uyumsuz uyaranlara karşı bilişsel çaba gereksinimlerinin azaldığını ve sosyal bilişsel uyum düzeylerinde artış olabileceğini düşündürmektedir. Nitel veriler, Erasmus deneyiminin katılımcılar tarafından genellikle olumlu bir şekilde değerlendirildiğini göstermiştir. Katılımcı sayısının düşük olması, elde edilen bulguların genellenebilirliğini sınırlamaktadır.

Examination the Impact of the Learning Mobility of Erasmus on Turkish Students Through Electrophysiological and Self-Report Measures

Bernis Sütçübaşı, Günay Sağır, Amine Nadide Ergün, and Asil Ali Özdoğru

This study investigated the extent to which students who had the opportunity to study abroad through the Erasmus program experienced changes in intergroup bias and 21st-century skills. Combining self-report scales, individual interviews, and electroencephalography, this research represents the first comprehensive study in the literature employing such a multi-method approach. The study was conducted with a total of 11 students from a foundation university in Istanbul, who shared similar demographic characteristics. Six students were assigned to the experimental group and five to the control group. The study followed a two-phase pretest–posttest design. Intergroup bias was assessed using an Implicit Association Test administered during electroencephalography recordings, while four different self-report scales were used to evaluate 21st-century skills. Erasmus-related experiences were explored through semi-structured individual interviews. Quantitative findings indicated a trend toward faster reaction times in congruent blocks and increased D scores in the experimental group following the Erasmus experience. Electrophysiological data revealed a decrease in the post-test amplitudes of the N400 component compared to the pre-test, exhibiting a downward trend at a level of marginal significance, particularly in the incongruent block conditions. This finding suggests that participants required less cognitive effort to process culturally incongruent stimuli, potentially reflecting an increase in social-cognitive adaptability. Qualitative data showed that participants generally evaluated their Erasmus experience positively. However, the small sample size limits the generalizability of the findings.

Recent advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI), especially large language models (LLMs), are rapidly transforming educational practices worldwide. Despite growing adoption, there is limited cross-national evidence on how university students perceive and engage with these technologies. This study addresses this gap by analyzing data from 1906 students across 13 countries, using a novel psychometric approach that leverages LLMs for item generation and validation. Our findings reveal that students’ trust in AI, familiarity with algorithms, and lower anxiety about AI are key predictors of positive perceptions and adoption of LLMs in learning. Notably, most students with even minimal trust in AI reported using LLMs, primarily for coding, idea generation, and writing, and perceived them as at least moderately effective. In contrast, students who did not use LLMs were unlikely to use other AI tools. These results underscore the importance of fostering trust and AI literacy to support effective integration of AI technologies in tertiary education. Practical implications include the need for targeted training programs, transparent data practices, and strategies to address student anxiety and promote responsible use. By providing cross-national insights and introducing innovative measurement tools, this study offers actionable recommendations for educators, institutions, and policymakers seeking to enhance student engagement with AI in diverse educational contexts.

Mental simulation theories of language comprehension propose that people automatically create mental representations of objects mentioned in sentences. Mental representation is often measured with the sentence-picture verification task, wherein participants first read a sentence that implies the object property (i.e., shape and orientation). Participants then respond to an image of an object by indicating whether it was an object from the sentence or not. Previous studies have shown matching advantages for shape, but findings concerning object orientation have not been robust across languages. This registered report investigated the match advantage of object orientation across 18 languages in nearly 4,000 participants. The preregistered analysis revealed no compelling evidence for a match advantage for orientation across languages. Additionally, the match advantage was not predicted by mental rotation scores. In light of these findings, we discuss the implications for current theory and methodology surrounding mental simulation.

Semantic priming has been studied for nearly 50 years across various experimental manipulations and theoretical frameworks. Although previous studies provide insight into the cognitive underpinnings of semantic representations, they have suffered from small sample sizes and a lack of linguistic and cultural diversity. In this Registered Report, we measured the size and the variability of the semantic priming effect across 19 languages (n = 25,163 participants analysed) by creating the largest available database of semantic priming values using an adaptive sampling procedure. We found evidence for semantic priming in terms of differences in response latencies between related word-pair conditions and unrelated word-pair conditions. Model comparisons showed that the inclusion of a random intercept for language improved model fit, providing support for variability in semantic priming across languages. This study highlights the robustness and variability of semantic priming across languages and provides a rich, linguistically diverse dataset for further analysis. The Stage 1 protocol for this Registered Report was accepted in principle on 15 July 2022. The protocol, as accepted by the journal, can be found at https://osf.io/u5bp6 (registration) or https://osf.io/q4fjy (preprint version 6, 31 May 2022).

Over the past decade, the open-science movement has transformed the research landscape, although its impact has largely been confined to developed countries. Recently, researchers from developing countries have called for a redesign of open science to better align with their unique contexts. However, raising awareness alone is insufficient—practical actions are required to drive meaningful and inclusive change. In this work, we analyze the opportunities offered by the open-science movement and explore the macro- and micro-level barriers researchers in developing countries face when engaging with these practices. Drawing on these insights and aiming to inspire researchers in developing regions or other resource-constrained contexts to embrace open-science practices, we offer a four-level guide for gradual engagement: (a) foundation, using open resources to build a solid foundation for rigorous research; (b) growth, adopting low-cost, easily implementable practices; (c) community, contributing to open-science communities through actionable steps; and (d) leadership, taking on leadership roles or forming local communities to foster cultural change. We further discuss potential pitfalls of the current open-science practices and call for readaptation of these practices in developing countries’ settings. We conclude by outlining concrete recommendations for future action.

İnsan Gelişiminde Yeni Bir Kavram: Yerleşik Yetişkinlik

Asil Ali Özdoğru

Psikoloji ve psikiyatri bilim ve pratiğinde gelişimsel yaklaşım temel bir bakış açısı teşkil etmektedir. Birey ve toplum ruh sağlığı araştırma ve uygulamalarında gelişimsel yaklaşım oldukça önemli ve işlevseldir. Yaşam boyu gelişim yaklaşımına göre insan gelişimi sadece erken dönem deneyimleri tarafından değil yetişkinlik dönemindeki deneyim ve yaşam olayları tarafından da şekillenmektedir. Son yüzyılda dünyada yaşanan sosyal ve toplumsal değişimler yetişkin gelişimine ilişkin yeni kavram ve kuramların ortaya çıkmasına yol açmıştır. Yetişkin gelişimi alanında geliştirilen yerleşik yetişkinlik kavramı otuz ila kırklı yaşlardaki yetişkinlerde görülen genel deneyim ve zorluklara güncel bir bakış açısı sağlamaktadır.

The developmental approach constitutes a fundemental perspective in the science and practice of psychology and psychiatry. The developmental approach is of considerable importance and utility for research and applications in individual and community mental health. According to the lifespan developmental approach, human development is shaped not only by early life experiences but also by experiences and life events in adulthood. Social and societal changes in the world in the last century have led to the emergence of new concepts and theories about adult development. The concept of established adulthood, developed in the field of adult development, provides an up-to-date perspective on the general experiences and difficulties experienced by adults in their thirties and forties.

Previous research has studied the extent to which men are the default members of social groups in terms of memory, categorization, and stereotyping, but not attitudes which is critical because of attitudes’ relationship to behavior. Results from our survey (N > 5000) collected via a globally distributed laboratory network in over 40 regions demonstrated that attitudes toward Black people and politicians had a stronger relationship with attitudes toward the men rather than the women of the group. However, attitudes toward White people had a stronger relationship with attitudes toward White women than White men, whereas attitudes toward East Asian people, police officers, and criminals did not have a stronger relationship with attitudes toward either the men or women of each respective group. Regional agreement with traditional gender roles was explored as a potential moderator. These findings have implications for understanding the unique forms of prejudice women face around the world.

EIT Social Presence

Examining the Role of Social Connectedness and Sense of Humor on Social Presence in Online Learning Environments

Asil Ali Özdoğru, Ekmel Geçer, and Hakkı Bağcı

Social connectedness is the feeling of belonging to a network or engaging in social interactions and it pertains to the sense of community and interpersonal bonds that students establish in face-to-face or online learning environments. Social presence is one of the crucial components of online learning that describes how much users feel like they are interacting with actual people instead of just using digital interfaces. Sense of humor is a personal disposition that allows students to appreciate, produce, and use humor in social interactions and learning. This study aimed to investigate the role of social connectedness and sense of humor in social presence in online learning environments. Using a quantitative cross-sectional survey research model, students enrolled in Turkish higher education institutions who were recruited through convenience sampling were included in the study. Participants consisted of a total of 516 students between the ages of 18 and 52 with a mean age of 23.12 (SD = 5.30). Participants responded to an online survey consisting of demographic questions, Social Presence Scale (SPS), Sense of Humor Questionnaire 6 Revised (SHQ-6-R), and Social Connectedness Scale (SCS). Analyses showed that SPS was positively correlated with SHQ-6-R and SCS and they accounted for %9 of change in SPS along with some of the participant characteristics. Findings indicate that social connectedness and sense of humor are important in students’ feeling of social presence in online learning environments and social psychological characteristics of students need to be considered in the design of instructional experiences in online learning environments.

Terror-management theory (TMT) proposes that when people are made aware of their own death, they are more likely to endorse cultural values. TMT is a staple of social psychology, featured prominently in textbooks and the subject of much research. The implications associated with TMT are significant because its advocates claim it can partially explain cultural conflicts, intergroup antagonisms, and even war. However, considerable ambiguity regarding effect size exists, and no preregistered replication of death-thought-accessibility findings exists. Moreover, there is debate regarding the role of time delay between the manipulation of mortality salience and assessment of key measures. We present results from 22 labs in 11 countries (total N = 3,447) attempting to replicate and extend an existing study of TMT, Study 3 from Trafimow and Hughes, and the role of time-delay effects. We successfully replicate Trafimow and Hughes and demonstrate that it is possible to prime death-related thoughts and that priming is more effective when there is no delay between the priming and outcome measure. Implications for future research and TMT are discussed.

Algorithms are involved in decisions ranging from trivial to significant, but people often express distrust toward them. Research suggests that educational efforts to explain how algorithms work may help mitigate this distrust. In a study of 1,921 participants from 20 countries, we examined differences in algorithmic trust for low-stakes and high-stakes decisions. Our results suggest that statistical literacy is negatively associated with trust in algorithms for high-stakes situations, while it is positively associated with trust in low-stakes scenarios with high algorithm familiarity. However, explainability did not appear to influence trust in algorithms. We conclude that having statistical literacy enables individuals to critically evaluate the decisions made by algorithms, data and AI, and consider them alongside other factors before making significant life decisions. This ensures that individuals are not solely relying on algorithms that may not fully capture the complexity and nuances of human behavior and decision-making. Therefore, policymakers should consider promoting statistical/AI literacy to address some of the complexities associated with trust in algorithms. This work paves the way for further research, including the triangulation of data with direct observations of user interactions with algorithms or physiological measures to assess trust more accurately.

Ideal partner preferences (i.e., ratings of the desirability of attributes like attractiveness or intelligence) are the source of numerous foundational findings in the interdisciplinary literature on human mating. Recently, research on the predictive validity of ideal partner preference matching (i.e., Do people positively evaluate partners who match vs. mismatch their ideals?) has become mired in several problems. First, articles exhibit discrepant analytic and reporting practices. Second, different findings emerge across laboratories worldwide, perhaps because they sample different relationship contexts and/or populations. This registered report—partnered with the Psychological Science Accelerator—uses a highly powered design (N = 10,358) across 43 countries and 22 languages to estimate preference-matching effect sizes. The most rigorous tests revealed significant preference-matching effects in the whole sample and for partnered and single participants separately. The “corrected pattern metric” that collapses across 35 traits revealed a zero-order effect of β = .19 and an effect of β = .11 when included alongside a normative preference-matching metric. Specific traits in the “level metric” (interaction) tests revealed very small (average β = .04) effects. Effect sizes were similar for partnered participants who reported ideals before entering a relationship, and there was no consistent evidence that individual differences moderated any effects. Comparisons between stated and revealed preferences shed light on gender differences and similarities: For attractiveness, men’s and (especially) women’s stated preferences underestimated revealed preferences (i.e., they thought attractiveness was less important than it actually was). For earning potential, men’s stated preferences underestimated—and women’s stated preferences overestimated—revealed preferences. Implications for the literature on human mating are discussed.

According to the justified true belief (JTB) account of knowledge, people can truly know something only if they have a belief that is both justified and true (i.e., knowledge is JTB). This account was challenged by Gettier, who argued that JTB does not explain knowledge attributions in certain situations, later called “Gettier-type cases,” wherein protagonists are justified in believing something to be true, but their belief was correct only because of luck. Laypeople may not attribute knowledge to protagonists with justified but only luckily true beliefs. Although some research has found evidence for these so-called Gettier intuitions, Turri et al. found no evidence that participants attributed knowledge in a counterfeit-object Gettier-type case differently than in a matched case of JTB. In a large-scale, cross-cultural conceptual replication of Turri and colleagues’ Experiment 1 (N = 4,724) using a within-participants design and three vignettes across 19 geopolitical regions, we did find evidence for Gettier intuitions; participants were 1.86 times more likely to attribute knowledge to protagonists in standard cases of JTB than to protagonists in Gettier-type cases. These results suggest that Gettier intuitions may be detectable across different scenarios and cultural contexts. However, the size of the Gettier intuition effect did vary by vignette, and the Turri et al. vignette produced the smallest effect, which was similar in size to that observed in the original study. Differences across vignettes suggest that epistemic intuitions may also depend on contextual factors unrelated to the criteria of knowledge, such as the characteristics of the protagonist being evaluated.

Climate change is currently one of humanity’s greatest threats. To help scholars understand the psychology of climate change, we conducted an online quasi-experimental survey on 59,508 participants from 63 countries (collected between July 2022 and July 2023). In a between-subjects design, we tested 11 interventions designed to promote climate change mitigation across four outcomes: climate change belief, support for climate policies, willingness to share information on social media, and performance on an effortful pro-environmental behavioural task. Participants also reported their demographic information (e.g., age, gender) and several other independent variables (e.g., political orientation, perceptions about the scientific consensus). In the no-intervention control group, we also measured important additional variables, such as environmentalist identity and trust in climate science. We report the collaboration procedure, study design, raw and cleaned data, all survey materials, relevant analysis scripts, and data visualisations. This dataset can be used to further the understanding of psychological, demographic, and national-level factors related to individual-level climate action and how these differ across countries.

Casasanto (Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 138, 351–367, 2009) conceptualised the body-specificity hypothesis by empirically finding that right-handed people tend to associate a positive valence with the right side and a negative valence with the left side, whilst left-handed people tend to associate a positive valence with the left side and negative valence with the right side. Thus, this was the first paper that showed a body-specific space–valence mapping. These highly influential findings led to a substantial body of research and follow-up studies, which could confirm the original findings on a conceptual level. However, direct replications of the original study are scarce. Against this backdrop and given the replication crisis in psychology, we conducted a direct replication of Casasanto’s original study with 2,222 participants from 12 countries to examine the aforementioned effects in general and also in a cross-cultural comparison. Our results support Casasanto’s findings that right-handed people associate the right side with positivity and the left side with negativity and vice versa for left-handers.

The Family Systems Circumplex Model posits that balanced levels of cohesion and adaptability are associated with positive familial outcomes, whereas extremely high or low levels of these factors are associated with deleterious outcomes. Despite the popularity and utility of this model in Western cultures, there is a dearth of empirical data supporting its use in more culturally diverse contexts. The current, preregistered study assessed the Family Circumplex Model, cultural factors, and emerging adult outcomes across 7 countries (i.e., China, Iran, Nigeria, Switzerland, Turkey, the United Kingdom, and the United States). Participants were N = 3,593 emerging adults, mostly self-identifying as women (71.3%). Collaborators were participants in Psi Chi’s Network for International Collaborative Exchange (NICE) and administered measures related to family dynamics and cultural orientation to participants in a random order. Results indicated that the Family Circumplex Model did not fit cross-culturally. As such, a new model was adapted, the Expanded Circumplex Model, which demonstrated invariance across samples and between women and men. The Expanded Circumplex Model retained 6 constructs with differences regarding the separation of disengagement into 2 variables and the combining of adaptive flexibility and cohesion. The current study suggests that the cultural context in which family dynamics occur should be taken into consideration when conceptualizing family dynamics theory and measurement. Future work should seek to replicate and further apply the Expanded Circumplex Model to familial outcomes.

Background: The Psychological Science Accelerator (PSA) recently completed a large-scale moral psychology study using translated versions of the Oxford Utilitarianism Scale (OUS). However, the translated versions have no validity evidence. Objective: The study investigated the structural validity evidence of the OUS across 15 translated versions and produced version-specific validity reports. Methods: We analyzed OUS data from the PSA, which was collected internationally on a centralized online questionnaire. We also collected qualitative feedback from experts for each translated version. Results: For each version, we produced version-specific psychometric reports which include the following: (1) descriptive item and demographics analyses, (2) factor structure evidence using confirmatory factor analyses, (3) measurement invariance testing across languages using multiple-group confirmatory factor analyses and alignment optimization, and (4) reliability analyses using coefficients α and ω.

Keywords: Oxford Utilitarianism Scale, translation, measurement invariance, reliability, Psychological Science Accelerator

GSOA Bostan

Bostan Oyunu

Asil Ali Özdoğru

Bostan Oyunu, çocuk ve ergenler tarafından Anadolu’da oynanan araçlı ve kurallı bir geleneksel çocuk oyunudur. Doğal oyuncaklardan toprak kullanılarak oynanan oyun, gruplar hâlinde ve açık alanda oynanmaktadır.

Bostan Oyunu’nun tarihiyle ilgili açık bir bilgi tespit edilememiş olsa da oyunun doğal araçlarla oynanan basit ve kolay bir oyun olması eski bir oyun olduğuna işaret etmektedir. Kaşgarlı Mahmut’un hazırladığı Dîvânu Lugâti’t-Türk adlı eserde toprakla oynanan benzer oyunlar yer almaktadır (Savcı, 2022). Bostan Oyunu’nun da benzer bir tarihî geçmişe ve gelişime sahip olduğu düşünülebilir. ...
