    Differences in System Justification With Respect To Gender, Political Conservatism, Socio-Economic Status and Religious Fundamentalism
    (Elsevier Science Bv, 2011) Dirilen-Gumus, Ozlem; Department of Psychology
    In this research, we investigated the differences in system justification in relation to gender, political conservatism, socioeconomic status (SES) and religious fundamentalism. Three hundred Turkish University Students were given System Justification Scale, Political Ideology and Religiosity Scale. They also supplied their demographic information. Muslim Religious Orientation Scale was also included into the questionnaire in order to identify those who have extrinsic, intrinsic, quest and fundamentalist orientation. It was found that masculinity, having a conservative political ideology, religious fundamentalism and having a low SES will lead to more individuals having system-justifying thoughts. These findings were discussed in the light of the relevant literature. (C) 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

    The Effect of Religiosity on Political Ideology Via Value Types and Personality Traits: a Comparison Between Turkey and Usa
    (Elsevier Science Bv, 2010) Dirilen-Gumus, Ozlem; Department of Psychology
    In this study, the relationships between religiosity, values, personality and political ideology were investigated across two different cultures: Turkish and American. Participants completed Portrait Values Questionnaire, Big Five Inventory, Religiosity Scale and Political Ideology Scale together with some demographics. Based on the findings, it was concluded that, religiosity influences political ideology indirectly (also directly) via their influence on value structure in both individualist and collectivist cultures, then this value structure inarguably creates a propensity toward endorsing certain political ideologies. The findings were discussed in the light of relevant literature and possible impacts on psychological functioning of individuals. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
