Article Muhafazakarlık, Kaygı ve Tehdit Edici Uyarıcılara Karşı Dikkat Yanlılığı(2017) Booth, Robert W; Dikçe, Uğurcan; Peker, MüjdePolitical ideology often forms an important part of someone’s identity, and affects their life in many ways. Many have studied the correlates and predictors of ideology, especially conservative ideology (e.g. Adorno, Frenkel-Brunswik, Levinson, & Sanford, 1950; Jost, Glaser, Kruglanksi, & Sulloway, 2003; Tomkins, 1963; Wilson, 1973). Psychologists and political scientists have become increasingly convinced that ideology is related to biological, physiological and cognitive factors. For example, twin studies suggest political attitudes are about 30-60% heritable (see Bouchard & McGue, 2003; Hatemi et al., 2010). Here, we focus on cognitive and associated emotional correlates of ideology.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 8Social Support and Help-Seeking Worldwide(Springer, 2024) Szkody, Erica; Spence, Anjolee; Ozdogru, Asil; Tushir, Bhawna; Chang, Fennie; Akkas, Handan; Cascalheira, Cory J.; Karakulak, ArzuSocial support has long been associated with positive physical, behavioral, and mental health outcomes. However, contextual factors such as subjective social status and an individual's cultural values, heavily influence social support behaviors (e.g., perceive available social support, accept support, seek support, provide support). We sought to determine the current state of social support behaviors and the association between these behaviors, cultural values, and subjective social support across regions of the world. Data from 6,366 participants were collected by collaborators from over 50 worldwide sites (67.4% or n = 4292, assigned female at birth; average age of 30.76). Our results show that individuals cultural values and subjective social status varied across world regions and were differentially associated with social support behaviors. For example, individuals with higher subjective social status were more likely to indicate more perceived and received social support and help-seeking behaviors; they also indicated more provision of social support to others than individuals with lower subjective social status. Further, horizontal, and vertical collectivism were related to higher help-seeking behavior, perceived support, received support, and provision of support, whereas horizontal individualism was associated with less perceived support and less help-seeking and vertical individualism was associated with less perceived and received support, but more help-seeking behavior. However, these effects were not consistently moderated by region. These findings highlight and advance the understanding of how cross-cultural complexities and contextual distinctions influence an individual's perception, processing, and practice of social support embedded in the changing social landscape.Book Part Big five personality traits: dating apps [Book Part](Springer International Publishing, 2023) Sevi, Barış; Bostancı, İlksenThe big five personality traits (Openness to experience, Conscientiousness, Extrovertedness, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism) are in relation with different attitudes, behaviors, and constructs, including dating apps. The big five has shown to be related to being a user of dating apps, dating app use motivations, and to different behaviors related to dating app use.Conference Object İstanbul Denetimli Serbestlik Memurlarına Yönelik Geliştirilen Eğitim Programının Etki Değerlendirmesi(Üsküdar Üniversitesi Yayınları, 2017) Erdem, Gizem; Tuncer, Esra; Çankaya, Banu; Engin, MuratBu araştırmanın amacı, madde kullanan yükümlülerle çalışan denetimli serbestlik memurlarına yönelik geliştirilen iki günlük eğitimin etkisini niteliksel ve niceliksel verilerle ortaya koymaktır. Araştırma verileri, İstanbul Denetimli Serbestlik Şube Müdürlüğü’nde çalışmakta olan 117 uzman ve memurdan HaziranEylül 2015 arasında aşamalı olarak toplanmıştır. Araştırmanın ihtiyaç belirleme aşamasında, 28 memur 8-10 kişilik gruplara ayrılarak eşzamanlı 1.5 saatlik odak grup toplantılarına katılmıştır. Odak grup toplantılarında, memurlara iş deneyimleri, yükümlülerle ilişkileri ve onlara yönelik tutumları ile eğitim almak istedikleri konularla ilgili sorular yöneltilmiştir. Araştırmanın ikinci aşamasında, suç sosyolojisi, madde bağımlılığı, yükümlülerle iletişim ve motivasyonel görüşme becerileri konularında iki gün süren bir eğitim programı uygulanmış ve eğitim öncesinde ve bir ay sonrasında katılımcılara anket uygulanmıştır. Katılımcılar, yükümlülere karşı tutum (ATI; Melvin, Grambling, & Gardner, 1985), işbirliği (WAI; Horvath & Greenberg, 1989), genel sağlık (Goldberg & Williams, 1988), tükenmişlik sendromu (Maslach & Jackson, 1981), iş doyumu (Spector, 1994) ve örgütsel güven (Cummings & Bromiley, 1995) konularında ölçekler içeren bir anket doldurmuştur. Araştırma niteliksel sonuçlarına göre eğitimin uygulanabilirliği, kabul edilebilirliği ve eğitimden memnuniyet anketlerinde katılımcılar olumlu geribildirim vermiştir. Nicel bulgular T-test analizi kullanılarak incelendiğinde ise eğitime katılan memurların istatistiksel olarak anlamlı derecede daha az tükenmişlik sendromu gösterdiği ve çalıştıkları kuruma duydukları güvenin arttığı bulunmuştur. Buna karşın, madde kullanan yükümlülere yönelik tutumların değişmediği görülmüştür (p > .05). Araştırma projesinin bulguları, denetimli serbestlik çalışanlarına yönelik daha kapsamlı bir müdahale programının geliştirilmesine ışık tutmaktadır.Article Israrlı Takip: Tanımı ve Sosyal Psikolojik Değişkenler ile İlişkileri(Türk Psikologlar Derneği, 2021) Sakallı, Nuray; Başar, DemetIsrarlı takip (stalking) psikolojik ve fiziksel şiddet içeren, hedef alınan kişide korku ve endişe uyandıran, istenmeyen ve ısrarcı davranışlar bütünüdür. Bu makalenin amacı son yıllarda kadına yönelik şiddet alanında ayrı bir başlık altında ele alınmaya başlanmış olan ısrarlı takip konusuna ilişkin bir yayın taraması gerçekleştirerek alana katkı sunmaktır. Bu amaçla ilk olarak ısrarlı takip olgusunun tanımı ve farklı disiplinler açısından ele alınış biçimleri üzerinde durulmuştur. Araştırmalarda ısrarlı takip ile birlikte ele alınan takipçi-mağdur ilişkisi (eski veya şimdiki eş/partner ve tanıdık ya da yabancı takipçi), kullanılan takip yöntemleri (fiziksel ortamda veya çevrim içi iletişim araçları ile gerçekleştirilenler), ısrarlı takibin romantikleştirilmesi, toplumsal cinsiyet, cinsiyetçilik, erkeklik ve namus kültürü gibi farklı sosyal psikolojik değişkenler ele alınmıştır. Bu değişkenlerle yapılan çalışmaların bulguları yanı sıra olası gelecek araştırma önerileri verilmiştir. Daha sonra, ısrarlı takibin psikolojik ve fiziksel sağlık üzerindeki olumsuz etkilerine değinilmiştir. Sonuç kısmında ise ısrarlı takip konusuyla ilgili genel bir özetleme ile birlikte kültürümüzde yapılabilecek olası araştırma önerileri sunulmuştur.Article Citation - WoS: 13Citation - Scopus: 17Crossing Boundaries: a Pilot Study of Maternal Attitudes About Child Maltreatment in Nine Countries(Elsevier, 2020) Emmen, R; Soares, I; Wang, L; Alink, L; Mesman, J; Mels, C; Asanjarani, F.; Carcamo, R; Hsiao, C; Selcuk, B; Branger, M.a, Woudstra, M.-L; Yavuz, Melis; Van Ginkel, JBackground: Definitions of child maltreatment vary widely between studies, and even more so between different cultural contexts. Objective: In this pilot study, we examine between-country variations in maternal notions about what constitutes child maltreatment. Participants and setting: The sample consisted of 466 mothers recruited in Chile, China, Greece, Iran, the Netherlands, Portugal, South Africa, Turkey, and Uruguay. Methods: All mothers completed a new Q-sort measure, ranking 90 parenting behaviors linked to subtypes of maltreatment (emotional neglect, emotional abuse, physical neglect, and physical abuse) from least to most detrimental to child development. Results: Between-country agreement regarding the harmfulness of the parenting behaviors was high (r =.45), but there were different patterns of reported harmfulness of subtypes of maltreatment (although driven mostly by deviating patterns in the South African sample). Further, there were significant country effects on the number and type of behaviors labeled as maltreatment (p?2 =.15), and the number of items labeled as requiring intervention (p?2 =.19). Conclusions: Variations in conceptions of maltreatment need to be studied in larger more representative samples and taken into account in the assessment and treatment of child maltreatment across cultures.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 7The Coronavirus Anxiety Scale: Cross-National Measurement Invariance and Convergent Validity Evidence(Psychological assessment, 2024) Abdelrahman, Mohamed; Rudnev, Maksim; Adebayo, Damilola Fisayo; Karakulak, Arzu; Akaliyski, Plamen; Jovanovic, Veljko; Abdul Kadir, Nor Ba'yahCoronavirus Anxiety Scale (CAS) is a widely used measure that captures somatic symptoms of coronavirus-related anxiety. In a large-scale collaboration spanning 60 countries (Ntotal = 21,513), we examined the CAS's measurement invariance and assessed the convergent validity of CAS scores in relation to the fear of COVID-19 (FCV-19S) and the satisfaction with life (SWLS-3) scales. We utilized both conventional exact invariance tests and alignment procedures, with results revealing that the single-factor model fit the data well in almost all countries. Partial scalar invariance was supported in a subset of 56 countries. To ensure the robustness of results, given the unbalanced samples, we employed resampling techniques both with and without replacement and found the results were more stable in larger samples. The alignment procedure demonstrated a high degree of measurement invariance with 9% of the parameters exhibiting noninvariance. We also conducted simulations of alignment using the parameters estimated in the current model. Findings demonstrated reliability of the means but indicated challenges in estimating the latent variances. Strong positive correlations between CAS and FCV-19S estimated with all three different approaches were found in most countries. Correlations of CAS and SWLS-3 were weak and negative but significantly differed from zero in several countries. Overall, the study provided support for the measurement invariance of the CAS and offered evidence of its convergent validity while also highlighting issues with variance estimation.Article Citation - WoS: 11Citation - Scopus: 12Social Mindfulness Predicts Concern for Nature and Immigrants Across 36 Nations(Nature Portfolio, 2022) Peker, Müjde; Van Lange, Paul A. M.; Acevedo-Triana, Cesar; Van Doesum, Niels J.; Kirkland, Kelly; Ausmees, Liisi; Amiot, Catherine E.People cooperate every day in ways that range from largescale contributions that mitigate climate change to simple actions such as leaving another individual with choice - known as social mindfulness. It is not yet clear whether and how these complex and more simple forms of cooperation relate. Prior work has found that countries with individuals who made more socially mindful choices were linked to a higher country environmental performance - a proxy for complex cooperation. Here we replicated this initial finding in 41 samples around the world, demonstrating the robustness of the association between social mindfulness and environmental performance, and substantially built on it to show this relationship extended to a wide range of complex cooperative indices, tied closely to many current societal issues. We found that greater social mindfulness expressed by an individual was related to living in countries with more social capital, more community participation and reduced prejudice towards immigrants. Our findings speak to the symbiotic relationship between simple and more complex forms of cooperation in societies.Conference Object Subgroup Formation and Identification in Multinational Teams: Do Birds of a Feather Flock Together?(European Academy of Management, 2017) Arman, Gamze; Bell, SuzanneMultinational teams (MNTs) consist of members from different national backgrounds who work interdependently to achieve a shared objective (Earley & Gibson, 2002). Much of the previous research on MNTs has focused on whether members’ national background diversity has an impact on MNT effectiveness (Connaughton & Shuffler, 2007; Stahl, Mäkelä, Zander, & Maznevski, 2010a; Stahl, Maznevski, Voigt, & Jonsen, 2010b). The purpose of the present study was to examine the perception of diversity by team members, with regard to their definition of subgroups and identification with the in-groups, out-groups, and the entire team.Conference Object People Management in Production Organizations in Turkey(National Congress of Management and Organization, 2017) Arman, Gamze...Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 6Exploring Individual Differences in Infants' Looking Preferences for Impossible Events: the Early Multidimensional Curiosity Scale(Frontiers Media Sa, 2023) Sen, Hilal H. H.; Lucca, Kelsey; Lazaro, Vanessa; Lee, Nayen; Wang, Jinjing JennyInfants are drawn to events that violate their expectations about the world: they look longer at physically impossible events, such as when a car passes through a wall. Here, we examined whether individual differences in infants' visual preferences for physically impossible events reflect an early form of curiosity, and asked whether caregivers' behaviors, parenting styles, and everyday routines relate to these differences. In Study 1, we presented infants (N = 47, M-age = 16.83 months, range = 10.29-24.59 months) with events that violated physical principles and closely matched possible events. We measured infants' everyday curiosity and related experiences (i.e., caregiver curiosity-promoting activities) through a newly developed curiosity scale, The Early Multidimensional Curiosity Scale (EMCS). Infants' looking preferences for physically impossible events were positively associated with their score on the EMCS, but not their temperament, vocabulary, or caregiver trait curiosity. In Study 2A, we set out to better understand the relation between the EMCS and infants' looking preferences for physically impossible events by assessing the underlying structure of the EMCS with a larger sample of children (N = 211, M-age = 47.63 months, range = 10.29-78.97 months). An exploratory factor analysis revealed that children's curiosity was comprised four factors: Social Curiosity, Broad Exploration, Persistence, and Information-Seeking. Relatedly, caregiver curiosity-promoting activities were composed of five factors: Flexible Problem-Solving, Cognitive Stimulation, Diverse Daily Activities, Child-Directed Play, and Awe-Inducing Activities. In Study 2B (N = 42 infants from Study 1), we examined which aspects of infant curiosity and caregiver behavior predicted infants' looking preferences using the factor structures of the EMCS. Findings revealed that infants' looking preferences were uniquely related to infants' Broad Exploration and caregivers' Awe-Inducing Activities (e.g., nature walks with infants, museum outings). These exploratory findings indicate that infants' visual preferences for physically impossible events may reflect an early form of curiosity, which is related to the curiosity-stimulating environments provided by caregivers. Moreover, this work offers a new comprehensive tool, the Early Multidimensional Curiosity Scale, that can be used to measure both curiosity and factors related to its development, starting in infancy and extending into childhood.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 4Individual Differences in Collectivism Predict City Identification and City Evaluation in Australian, French and Turkish Cities(Elsevier, 2017) Rubin, Mark; Morrison, Tessa; Peker, Müjde; Mahfud, Yara; Badea, Constantina; Condie, JennaCollectivism is a sociocultural variable that predicts how people relate to social groups. Cities are social groups. Hence, collectivism should predict how people relate to cities. To test this prediction, the researchers sampled 1660 residents of four cities in three countries. Participants completed an online survey containing measures of collectivism, city identification, and city evaluation. Results showed that, within each city sample and across the combined samples, a specific measure of collectivism called collective interdependent self-construal was positively related to city evaluation. Furthermore, city identification mediated the relation between collective interdependent self-construal and city evaluation. These results demonstrate that people's general tendency to construe social groups as part of their self predicts their identification with their city, which in turn helps to explain their positive appraisal of their city. These results are discussed from the perspectives of both environmental psychology and social psychology.Article Citation - WoS: 11Citation - Scopus: 10Is the Road Still Bumpy Without the Most Frequent Life Events?(Wiley, 2017) Gülgöz, Sami; Ece, BerivanTwo studies were conducted to explore the effect of the most frequent life events on the reminiscence bump. Thefirststudy examined the life scripts and autobiographical memories of 44 adults [Mage= 62.8, standard deviation (SD) = 2.8] byremoving the most frequent 10 life events. The regular reminiscence bump disappeared in the distribution of both event types.The second study explored whether results of thefirst study would be extended to autobiographical memories evoked by differentmethods. Cue word and important memories reported by 64 adults (Mage= 66.6, SD = 2.8) were examined. Important memorieshad later bump than cue word memories, but removing the top 10 life events affected the bumps of both memory types with astronger impact on important memories. Different retrieval strategies activated by these two methods may lead to differenttemporal peaks, which further influence the sensitivity of distributions to the most frequent life event categories.Conference Object The Role of Father Involvement in Physical and Relational Victimization: Evidence From Turkish Preschool Boys(2017) Franko, I; Gönültaş, S; Sümer, O; Müren, Hatice Melis; Güney, Onuray; Selcuk, B...Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 8The Professional Experiences and Training Needs of Probation Officers in Turkey(SAGE Publications, 2018) Aydoğan, Ramazan; Ergin, Murat; Şahin, Banu Çankaya; Safi, Ommay Aiman; Tuncer, Ayşe EsraSummary The current study uses a series of focus groups and participatory methodology to investigate the work experiences and needs of Turkish probation officers and their directors. All participants were employed at an office of Parole and Probation in Istanbul, Turkey. During the concurrent focus groups, officers (n?=?57) discussed their daily work experiences and needs (Phase I). A follow-up focus group was conducted (n?=?25) to discuss potential interpretations of the themes and generate solutions (Phase II), followed by a mini-focus group with the directors (n?=?5) to explore their experiences with the probation system and officer training (Phase III). Findings Officers identified needs for training, improvements of the work environment, professional support, and more thorough risk assessment tools. The follow-up focus group revealed that officers were highly motivated to improve their rehabilitative skills but felt constrained in supervising offenders in the punitive justice system. Several solutions generated through focus groups included mentoring programs to support novice officers, training programs to acquire interviewing skills, and team building activities and events to increase morale. Application The current study bridges the gap between officers and directors in the probation system and generates solutions to the occupational needs of officers. Researchers communicated those needs to the directors, and the study initiated action toward implementing rehabilitative training programs for officers with a particular focus on risk assessment and basic clinical skills. The study has direct implications for the improvement of probation practice and supervision in Turkey.Conference Object Tipik Yaşam Olaylarının Çıkarılmasının Farklı Yöntemlerle Toplanan Otobiyografik Anıların Dağılımı Üzerindeki Etkisi(2019) Ece, Berivan; Gülgöz, SamiAMAÇ:Otobiyografik anıların yaşam boyu dağılımı 16-30 yaş aralığında bir anı tümseği göstermektedir. Anı tümseğinin içeriği incelendiğinde ise daha çok sık rapor edilen tipik yaşam olaylarından (evlilik, üniversiteye başlamak, ilk iş/maaş, vb.) oluştuğu görülmüştür. Katılımcıların bu en tipik olayları rapor etmesi engellendiğinde ya da bu olaylar daha sonradan veri setinden çıkarıldığında ise anı tümseğinde anlamlı bir düşüş olduğu ve tümseğin gözlemlendiği 16-30 yaş aralığından hatırlanan anı sayısının diğer yaş aralıklarından çok farklı olmadığı belirtilmiştir. Bu araştırmanın amacı tipik yaşam olaylarının anı tümseği üzerindeki etkisinin farklı yöntemlerle toplanmış dolayısıyla farklı geri çağırma stratejileriyle hatırlanmış anılar için aynı olup olmadığını incelemektir. YÖNTEM : İki farklı yöntem kullanılarak veri toplanmıştır: önemli olaylar ve ipucu kelime yöntemi. Önemli olaylar yönteminde katılımcılardan yaşadıkları on tane önemli olayı anlatmaları istenirken ipucu kelime yönteminde katılımcılara bir kelime sunulmuş (örn., bina) ve bu kelimenin hatırlattığı ilk anıyı anlatmaları istenmiştir. Her iki yöntemde de katılımcılar hatırladıkları anıları önem, duygusal yük, algılanan kontrol ve benlik/kimlik üzerindeki etkisi gibi olay özellikleri açısından değerlendirmişlerdir. Toplam 64 (31 erkek) yetişkinden (Ortyaş = 66.6, SS = 2.8) veri toplanmış ve katılımcılar rastlantısal olarak iki farklı yöntem grubundan birisine atanmıştır. BULGULAR: İpucu kelime yönteminin (16-20) önemli olaylar yöntemine kıyasla (26-30) daha erken bir tümsek oluşturduğu görülmüştür. Bu bulgu geçmiş araştırmaları destekler niteliktedir. Ayrıca önemli olaylar yöntemiyle oluşan tümseğin tipik yaşam olaylarının çıkarılmasından daha çok etkilendiği gözlemlenmiştir. TARTIŞMA: Kullanılan iki yöntemin farklı geri çağırma stratejilerini (üreterek veya direkt hatırlama) aktive ettiği ve bu stratejilerin de farklı yaş aralıklarında tümsek oluşmasında etkili olabileceği öne sürülmüştür. Farklı hatırlama stratejileri sonucu oluşan tümseklerin tipik yaşam olaylarının çıkarılması gibi manipülasyonlara karşı hassasiyetinin ve direncinin farklılık gösteriyor olabileceği tartışılmıştır.Article Citation - WoS: 13Citation - Scopus: 17Consistency of Adults’ Earliest Memories Across Two Years(Taylor & Francis, 2019) Gülgöz, Sami; Demiray, Burcu; Ece, BerivanThe consistency of earliest memories in content, dating, and memory qualities was investigated. A total of 84 (27 males; Mage = 24.93, SD = 1.36) adults reported earliest memories, estimated ages, and rated their recollections on memory qualities with a two-year time lag. At Time 2, their original reports at Time 1 were presented and they were asked to report whether the earliest memories they recalled at Time 2 were the same. Fifty-six per cent of the participants reported the same earliest memories and those remembering the same events had earlier memories than those remembering different ones. Although no significant differences were observed in estimated ages on the basis of mean ages, a predating bias of later memories and a tendency to postdate earlier memories were observed on the basis of a 48-month cut-off point. Thus, how the data is analysed is critical in detecting dating biases or errors affecting conclusions and interpretations about the dating consistency of earliest memories. Finally, memory qualities of earliest memories displayed a high level of consistency with a two-year time lag regardless of remembering the same versus different event.Book Part Otobiyografik Anıların Yaşam Boyu Dağılımı: Yaşamımızın Hangi Dönemlerini Daha Çok Hangilerini Daha Az Hatırlıyoruz?(Koç Üniversitesi Yayınları (KÜY), 2018) Ece, Berivan...Article Citation - WoS: 40Citation - Scopus: 43The Age of Anxiety? It Depends Where You Look: Changes in Stai Trait Anxiety, 1970-2010(Springer, 2016) Booth, Robert William; Leader, Tirza I.; Sharma, DinkarPurpose : Population-level surveys suggest that anxiety has been increasing in several nations, including the USA and UK. We sought to verify the apparent anxiety increases by looking for systematic changes in mean anxiety questionnaire scores from research publications. Methods : We analyzed all available mean State–Trait Anxiety Inventory scores published between 1970 and 2010. We collected 1703 samples, representing more than 205,000 participants from 57 nations. Results : Results showed a significant anxiety increase worldwide, but the pattern was less clear in many individual nations. Our analyses suggest that any increase in anxiety in the USA and Canada may be limited to students, anxiety has decreased in the UK, and has remained stable in Australia. Conclusions : Although anxiety may have increased worldwide, it might not be increasing as dramatically as previously thought, except in specific populations, such as North American students. Our results seem to contradict survey results from the USA and UK in particular. We do not claim that our results are more reliable than those of large population surveys. However, we do suggest that mental health surveys and other governmental sources of disorder prevalence data may be partially biased by changing attitudes toward mental health: if respondents are more aware and less ashamed of their anxiety, they are more likely to report it to survey takers. Analyses such as ours provide a useful means of double-checking apparent trends in large population surveys.Article Citation - WoS: 50Citation - Scopus: 49Subjective Status and Perceived Legitimacy Across Countries(John Wiley and Sons, 2020) Andrighetto, Luca; Croizet, Jean‐claude; Bocian, Konrad; Essien, Iniobong; Batruch, Anatolia; Autin, Frederique; Durante, Federica; Bukowski, Marcin; De Lemus, Soledad; Babincak, Peter; Conway, Paul; Bae, Jaechang; Easterbrook, Matthew J.; Brandt, Mark J.; Dragon, Piotr; Crawford, Jarret T.; Bourguignon, David; Butler, Sarah E.; Butera, Fabrizio; Chryssochoou, Xenia; Becker, Julia C.; Spears, Russell; Bodroža, Bojana; Forgas, Joseph P.; Badea, Constantina; Peker, Müjde; Degner, Juliane; Kuppens, ToonThe relationships between subjective status and perceived legitimacy are important for understanding the extent to which people with low status are complicit in their oppression. We use novel data from 66 samples and 30 countries (N = 12,788) and find that people with higher status see the social system as more legitimate than those with lower status, but there is variation across people and countries. The association between subjective status and perceived legitimacy was never negative at any levels of eight moderator variables, although the positive association was sometimes reduced. Although not always consistent with hypotheses, group identification, self-esteem, and beliefs in social mobility were all associated with perceived legitimacy among people who have low subjective status. These findings enrich our understanding of the relationship between social status and legitimacy.
