Conference Object Neighborhood and Psychosocial Predictors of Cognitive Function Among Latinos in the United States(Oxford University Press, 2025) Gutierrez, Angela; Marroig, Alejandra; Tobin, Courtney Thomas; Aranda, Maria; Camacho, David; Thorpe, Roland; Muniz-Terrera, Graciela; Sevi, BarışConference Object Are There Sex Differences in How Social Cohesion and Loneliness Relate To Cognitive Decline in Latinos(Oxford University Press, 2025) Muniz-Terrera, Graciela; Marroig, Alejandra; Gutierrez, Angela; Tobin, Courtney Thomas; Sevi, BarisLatinos are the largest minoritized population in the US, and therefore, understanding cognitive decline in this population is paramount. Previous literature has identified exogenous factors, such as social cohesion and endogenous factors, such as loneliness, as associated with cognitive decline in older men and women. To improve our understanding of the role of social cohesion and loneliness on cognitive decline in Latino older adults, we fitted independent linear mixed effects models to cognitive scores from men and women aged 50 and older (n = 2,321) who participated in the Health and Retirement Study (2006 - 2016), accounting for both, social cohesion and loneliness. Models were also adjusted for sociodemographic factors. In men and women, social cohesion was positively associated with baseline cognitive function (p < 0.001), while loneliness was negatively associated with baseline cognitive function (p < 0.001). The effect size of loneliness on baseline cognition in men was 3-fold the effect of social cohesion in men, while in women, it was 2-fold. However, none of these factors were significantly associated with cognitive trajectories over time. These findings highlight the importance of the role of exogenous and endogenous domains of the exposome in cognitive function among Latino adults. Health promotion initiatives should focus on implementing culturally appropriate strategies that enhance social cohesion within neighborhoods and help reduce feelings of loneliness.Conference Object Neighborhood and Psychosocial Predictors of Allostatic Load Among Latinx Adults in the United States(Oxford Univ Press, 2024) Gutierrez, Angela; Supiyev, Adil; Tobin, Courtney Thomas; Sevi, Barış; Terrera, Graciela Muniz[No Abstract Available]Conference Object Personality and Allostatic Load: Testing Healthy Neuroticism in Hispanic Americans Over 50(Oxford Univ Press, 2024) Sevi, Baris; Supiyev, Adil; Gutierrez, Angela; Terrera, Graciela Muniz[No Abstract Available]Article Citation - WoS: 2Where Should I Search Next? Messages Embedded in Storybooks Influence Children's Strategic Exploration in Turkey and the United States(Amer Psychological Assoc, 2024) Vaisarova, Julie; Kiefer, Sarah L.; Sen, Hilal; Todd, Peter M.; Lucca, KelseyDespite the vital role of curiosity-driven exploration in learning, our understanding of how to enhance children's curiosity remains limited. Here, we tested whether hearing a strategic curiosity story with curiosity-promoting themes (e.g., strategically approaching uncertainty, adapting flexibly to new information) versus a control story with traditional pedagogical themes (e.g., following rules, learning from others) would influence children's strategic exploration across two cultures. Three- to 6-year-olds from the United States (N = 138) and Turkey (N = 88) were randomly assigned to hear one of these stories over Zoom, before playing a game in which they searched for sea creatures across five fish tanks. All tanks had the same number of hiding spots but varied in the number of creatures they contained. Time was limited and children could not return to prior tanks, pushing them to allocate search effort strategically. Results indicated that across both countries, children in the strategic curiosity condition explored the virtual "aquarium" more broadly; they moved through tanks more rapidly than children in the control condition and were more likely to explore all five tanks before time ran out. Children in the strategic curiosity condition also showed relatively more strategic search, adapting their search based on the likelihood of finding creatures in each tank. While further research is needed to pinpoint which elements of our stories produced differences in search behavior and whether they did so by enhancing or inhibiting children's strategic exploration, storybooks appear to be a promising method for shaping children's exploration across multiple countries.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Majority Grievance in Germany: the Role of Entitlement Beliefs and Ingroup Threat(Educational Publishing Foundation-american Psychological Assoc, 2024) Stucke, Frederike; Okuyan, Mukadder; Loreth, LukasGroup-based grievance has mainly been studied from the perspective of disadvantaged and minority groups. Following the refugee crisis and corresponding sociopolitical changes, there has also been an increase in perceived grievance among majority groups in many European countries. The present studies examined the role of perceived threat in the relationship between autochthony-based entitlement and group grievances among members of the German majority. Across three correlational studies, we tested whether threat moderates versus mediates this relationship. In Study 1, using a nationally representative sample, we found support for threat serving as a mediator of the relationship between autochthony-based entitlement and majority grievance. We replicated this finding in Studies 2 (N = 380) and 3 (N = 614) using convenience samples. We discuss the diverse roles played by perceived threat in predicting defensive reactions by majority groups and the importance of studying perceived entitlement in majority groups' grievance claims.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Parental Predictors of Children’s Math Learning Behaviours in Different Cultures(Springer, 2022) Selçuk, Bilge; Kisbu-Sakarya, Yasemin; Niehues, WenkeResearch indicates that parental schoolwork involvement is beneficial for students' academic functioning when parents facilitate their children's autonomy and refrain from psychological controlling practices. However, effects of the quality of parental involvement on child learning outcomes may vary due to cross-cultural differences in children's appraisal and reaction towards these practices. The current study aimed to investigate the link between the quality of parental schoolwork involvement and children's learning-related behaviours in math, and the mediating role of mother-child conflict around math schoolwork in this link in three cultural groups (i.e., German-Turkish, Turkish and German families). Data were collected from 107 German-Turkish, 426 Turkish and 140 German mothers with children in fifth to eighth grades. After testing measurement invariance of the scales across groups, multi-group structural equation modelling was used to examine the direct and indirect paths between the quality of parental involvement, mother-child conflict and child learning-related behaviours. Results showed that the level of mother-child conflict mediated the link between mothers' psychologically controlling practices and children's learning-related behaviours in math in all three groups. No mediation was found for the link between maternal autonomy support and children's learning-related behaviours in any group. However, the direct path from mothers' autonomy support to children's learning-related behaviours was significant in the Turkish and German-Turkish samples. These results suggest that the role of different forms of parental schoolwork involvement in children's academic functioning is more similar than different across cultural groups.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Even Less Visible: Disadvantaged Children in Disadvantaged Countries(Routledge, 2022) Tuncay, Ipek; Selçuk, Bilge; Can, Beril; Karakas, CanselIn this paper, we have a quick look at the profile of developmental research in terms of its study samples, and then turn our attention to the findings of research on the COVID-19 pandemic and climate change, suggesting a notable increase in the number of people experiencing significant economic difficulties and a widening gap between the wealthy and the poor. While this is obviously a cause of concern for scientists, practitioners and policymakers, we suggest that the digital revolution which accelerated even more with the COVID-19 pandemic may open new ways to support healthy development and psychological wellbeing in socio-economically or developmentally disadvantaged populations. Moreover, acceleration of the digital transformation may also allow us to study the human mind and behaviour in countries economically categorized as 'under-developed' or 'developing', and under-represented in psychological science. Taking the recent advancements as a base, we contemplate the possibility that major technological changes facilitated by the recent COVID-19 pandemic might allow us to meet the scientific and applied goals of psychology more successfully.Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 8A 32-Society Investigation of the Influence of Perceived Economic Inequality on Social Class Stereotyping(Wiley, 2022) Ashokkumar, Ashwini; Billet, Matthew; Becker, Maja; Peters, Kim; Jetten, Joland; Barry, Oumar; Tanjitpiyanond, Porntida; Peker, Müjde; Yeung, Victoria Wai-LanThere is a growing body of work suggesting that social class stereotypes are amplified when people perceive higher levels of economic inequality—that is, the wealthy are perceived as more competent and assertive and the poor as more incompetent and unassertive. The present study tested this prediction in 32 societies and also examines the role of wealth-based categorization in explaining this relationship. We found that people who perceived higher economic inequality were indeed more likely to consider wealth as a meaningful basis for categorization. Unexpectedly, however, higher levels of perceived inequality were associated with perceiving the wealthy as less competent and assertive and the poor as more competent and assertive. Unpacking this further, exploratory analyses showed that the observed tendency to stereotype the wealthy negatively only emerged in societies with lower social mobility and democracy and higher corruption. This points to the importance of understanding how socio-structural features that co-occur with economic inequality may shape perceptions of the wealthy and the poor. © 2022 The Authors.

M.; Sassenberg, Kai; Kang, Jemima; Pearson, Samuel; Hornsey, Matthew J.; Bastian, BrockWhile a great deal is known about the individual difference factors associated with conspiracy beliefs, much less is known about the country-level factors that shape people's willingness to believe conspiracy theories. In the current article we discuss the possibility that willingness to believe conspiracy theories might be shaped by the perception (and reality) of poor economic performance at the national level. To test this notion, we surveyed 6723 participants from 36 countries. In line with predictions, propensity to believe conspiracy theories was negatively associated with perceptions of current and future national economic vitality. Furthermore, countries with higher GDP per capita tended to have lower belief in conspiracy theories. The data suggest that conspiracy beliefs are not just caused by intrapsychic factors but are also shaped by difficult economic circumstances for which distrust might have a rational basis.
