Meta-accuracy (Doctoral Thesis Project)
Meta-accuracy (Doctoral Thesis Project)
As a part of my doctoral thesis project, I conducted a series of both correlational and experimental studies to examine individuals' meta-perceptions regarding outgroup attitudes. Specifically, my research investigates the accuracy and biases in these meta-perceptions, the psychological mechanisms underlying them, and their implications for intergroup relations.
My aim is to provide insights into how individuals anticipate and interpret outgroup members' attitudes towards their ingroup and, how these meta-(in)accuracies shape intergroup dynamics in polarized contexts.
The first part of my doctoral thesis has been published in the journal of Group Processes & Intergroup Relations.
Attitudes Towards Vegans and Environmentalists (GEBIP Grant)
Attitudes Towards Vegans and Environmentalists (GEBIP Grant)
In this project, we ran a series of studies, including qualitative, correlational, and experimental designs, to examine how moral minority groups, such as vegans and environmentalists, are perceived by majority group members (e.g., meat-eaters). Our research explores the extent to which they elicit moral threat among outgroup members. This project is funded by a grant awarded to Prof. Çiğdem Bağcı as part of the TÜBA GEBİP Award for outstanding young scientists.
Anti-minority Collective Action
Anti-minority Collective Action
This project aims to define and introduce anti-minority collective action as an overlooked construct in the overall collective action literature. While much of the existing research centers on collective efforts to challenge inequality, this review aims to identify the key factors by drawing both the common and distinct grounds in relation to pro-minority forms of collective actions.
This article has been published in the journal of European Review of Social Psychology in 29 May, 2025.
