Article Citation - WoS: 38Citation - Scopus: 40Predictors of enhancing human physical attractiveness: Data from 93 countries(Elsevier Inc., 2022-11) Kowal, Marta; Sorokowski, Piotr; Pisanski, Katarzyna; Valentova, Jaroslava V.; Varella, Marco A. C.; Frederick, David A.; Al-Shawaf, LaithPeople across the world and throughout history have gone to great lengths to enhance their physical appearance. Evolutionary psychologists and ethologists have largely attempted to explain this phenomenon via mating preferences and strategies. Here, we test one of the most popular evolutionary hypotheses for beauty-enhancing behaviors, drawn from mating market and parasite stress perspectives, in a large cross-cultural sample. We also test hypotheses drawn from other influential and non-mutually exclusive theoretical frameworks, from biosocial role theory to a cultural media perspective. Survey data from 93,158 human participants across 93 countries provide evidence that behaviors such as applying makeup or using other cosmetics, hair grooming, clothing style, caring for body hygiene, and exercising or following a specific diet for the specific purpose of improving ones physical attractiveness, are universal. Indeed, 99% of participants reported spending >10 min a day performing beauty-enhancing behaviors. The results largely support evolutionary hypotheses: more time was spent enhancing beauty by women (almost 4 h a day, on average) than by men (3.6 h a day), by the youngest participants (and contrary to predictions, also the oldest), by those with a relatively more severe history of infectious diseases, and by participants currently dating compared to those in established relationships. The strongest predictor of attractiveness-enhancing behaviors was social media usage. Other predictors, in order of effect size, included adhering to traditional gender roles, residing in countries with less gender equality, considering oneself as highly attractive or, conversely, highly unattractive, TV watching time, higher socioeconomic status, right-wing political beliefs, a lower level of education, and personal individualistic attitudes. This study provides novel insight into universal beauty-enhancing behaviors by unifying evolutionary theory with several other complementary perspectives. © 2022 The AuthorsArticle Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2How Shame and Guilt Influence Perspective Taking: A Comparison of Turkish and German Cultures(Brill, 2022-03-11) Soylemez, Sinem; Koyuncu, Mehmet; Wolf, Oliver T.; Turkan, Belguzar NilayShame and guilt are negative social emotions that are sensitive to culture, and findings from past research have suggested that shame impairs perspective-taking cognitive ability more than guilt does. however, to the best of our knowledge, there is a lack of research that has considered culture and experimentally tested the effect of shame and guilt on perspective-taking. Taking an experimental perspective, this study aimed to examine how shame and guilt states affect perspective-taking performance in two different cultures (Turkish vs. German). Data from German and Turkish female college students provided support for the effect of emotional state and culture on perspective-taking, but there was no interaction between them. We discussed the results and possible explanations for them in light of the literature.Article Eye-Tracking in Reading Research: A Systematic Review of Studies With Children of Varying Reading Ability(Hogrefe Publishing Corp, 2026-04) Papadopoulos, Timothy C.; Fella, Argyro; Acarturk, Cengiz; Bahcekapili, Ekrem; Canaj, Kimete; Cergol, Kristina; Dinçtopal Deniz, Nazik; Hollenstein, Nora; Hržica, Gordana; Jozipović, Marija; Kasperė, Ramunė; Klimek-Jankowska, Dorota; Knudsen, Hanne B. Søndergaard; Krebs, Julia; Krejtz, Izabela; Leszko, Magda; Łockiewicz, Marta; Motiejūnienė, Jurgita; Özkan, Ayşegül; Türkan, Belgüzar Nilay; Erol Barkana, Duygun: Eye-tracking methods have become a valuable tool for reading research, as they provide significant evidence on the behavioral and cognitive performance of developing readers. They also help identify reading behavior patterns among children with neurodevelopmental conditions, such as reading difficulties (RD) or attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). In this paper, we reviewed relevant literature (73 empirical studies) from 2008 to 2023 (15 years). We documented how reading performance was measured through eye-tracking methodology among typical and atypical readers across various languages. To ensure a rigorous and transparent review, we adhered to the PRISMA framework, defined keywords, established inclusion and exclusion criteria, conducted data extraction, and employed a multi-phase selection process. We focused on research samples, stimulus designs, independent variables, eye-tracking systems, and metrics. The results indicated that research involving typically developing children mainly included participants from primary school and employed various eye-tracking methods, with English being the most studied language. Studies on children with RD and ADHD varied significantly in participants' sample sizes, languages, and experimental designs. The discussion emphasizes the need for standardized data-collection procedures to enhance the reliability and comparability of findings, thereby supporting the development of effective interventions and instructional methods for reading difficulties.Conference Object Investigating the causes of change blindness phenomenon using eye movements: Could inhibition of return explain this phenomenon?(2023) Türkan, Belgüzar Nilay; Amado, Sonia; İyilikci, Osman; Kuchinke, LarsBook Part Göz hareketlerinin ölçümü(2023) Türkan, Belgüzar NilayArticle Citation - WoS: 48Citation - Scopus: 55Situational factors shape moral judgements in the trolley dilemma in Eastern, Southern and Western countries in a culturally diverse sample(Nature Portfolio, 2022-04-14) Bago, Bence; Kovacs, Marton; Protzko, John; Nagy, Tamas; Kekecs, Zoltan; Palfi, Bence; Adamkovic, MatusThe study of moral judgements often centres on moral dilemmas in which options consistent with deontological perspectives (that is, emphasizing rules, individual rights and duties) are in conflict with options consistent with utilitarian judgements (that is, following the greater good based on consequences). Greene et al. (2009) showed that psychological and situational factors (for example, the intent of the agent or the presence of physical contact between the agent and the victim) can play an important role in moral dilemma judgements (for example, the trolley problem). Our knowledge is limited concerning both the universality of these effects outside the United States and the impact of culture on the situational and psychological factors affecting moral judgements. Thus, we empirically tested the universality of the effects of intent and personal force on moral dilemma judgements by replicating the experiments of Greene et al. in 45 countries from all inhabited continents. We found that personal force and its interaction with intention exert influence on moral judgements in the US and Western cultural clusters, replicating and expanding the original findings. Moreover, the personal force effect was present in all cultural clusters, suggesting it is culturally universal. The evidence for the cultural universality of the interaction effect was inconclusive in the Eastern and Southern cultural clusters (depending on exclusion criteria). We found no strong association between collectivism/individualism and moral dilemma judgements. Including participants from 45 countries, Bago et al. find that the situational factors that affect moral reasoning are shared across countries, with diminished observed cultural variation.Article When Affordances Are Not Universal: The Negative Compatibility Effect Is Modulated by Task Type and Spatial Association(Springer, 2025-12-02) Turkan, Belguzar Nilay; Schopper, Lars-Michael; Vainio, Lari; Frings, ChristianHumans prepare motor actions when perceiving objects that afford specific behaviors, highlighting the tight link between perception and action. For example, seeing a graspable object like a mug can trigger hand movements aligned to its handle - a phenomenon known as the object affordance effect. Vainio et al. (Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology64, 1094-1110, 2011) demonstrated this can produce a negative compatibility effect (NCE). This occurs when a spatially compatible prime object eliciting an affordance (e.g., a mug), but to be ignored, precedes a target requiring a spatial response. Given that task demands shape response execution (e.g., Sch & ouml;pper & Frings, Attention, Perception & Psychophysics, 86, 171-185, 2024), we hypothesized that the effect of affordance would vary accordingly. In Experiment 1, participants performed three tasks: arrow direction discrimination, shape discrimination, and circle localization. In all tasks, the time interval between the affordance object (a mug) and the onset of the target, as well as the compatibility between the mug and the response, varied. The arrow task replicated the NCE - responses were slower in compatible trials at short intervals. No compatibility effects were observed in the shape task. Notably, the localization task revealed a positive compatibility effect (PCE). The variation in compatibility effects suggests task-dependent affordances. Experiment 2 manipulated the target position relative to the fixation to investigate the PCE in the localization task and explore the differences in the compatibility effect. Although the PCE was not replicated, the NCE now also appeared for location tasks. Our results suggest that task constraints shape the compatibility effect, and distractor-induced affordances engage inhibitory mechanisms only when spatial features are relevant.Book Part Dikkat(2023) Türkan, Belgüzar NilayArticle Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 4Ways of processing semantic information during different change detection tasks(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2021-05-13) Turkan, Belguzar Nilay; Iyilikci, Osman; Amado, SoniaRecent research on change blindness phenomenon revealed contradictory findings about scene-object relationship. These discrepant results might be stemming from procedure and task constraints. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the effect of the type of paradigm on change blindness phenomenon during the natural scene viewing in the frame of high-level scene perception. For this purpose, we compared two frequently used change detection tasks; flicker and one-shot paradigms. Additionally, eye movements were recorded to investigate the active attention mechanisms during the change detection performance. Our results suggested that change detection performance and eye movements varied across the different paradigms. We interpreted this result as the influence of different stimuli exposures and different interruptions on processing of visual stimuli during the detection of change. We explained the inconsistent results revealed by the previous research in terms of attention mechanisms, namely attention attraction and attention disengagement that might differ while performing the different change detection tasks.Book Part Zihin ve Sosyal Birey Perspektifinden Manipülasyon(2021) ÇOKER, Ogeday; Belgüzar Nilay Türkan
