Introduction
I am a PhD student in Sociology at Radboud University. I hold an MA and MSc in (Social) Psychology from Bogazici University and the University of Alberta. My past research concerns the social psychology of intergroup relations, migration, and integration. My current research focuses on the sociology of old-age inequality, with interest in the impact of work, family, and health trajectories on the retirement transition and post-retirement economic, social, and psychological well-being.

Imagined contact has been argued to reduce prejudice. Although extant research supports this argument, replication attempts have been unsuccessful. To resolve conflicting evidence from previous studies, this study examined the effect of imagined contact on explicit and implicit prejudice against Kurds and Syrians in Turkey. Using data from 335 Turk...
Bicultural identity orientations have rarely been examined in relation to both perceived discrimination and psychological distress. Furthermore, these constructs have usually been studied in isolation, but their intersection is essential for understanding intercultural relations in multicultural societies. Using cross-sectional data from 1,143 Cana...
Despite the importance of cultural difference perceptions in intergroup relations, prior work has paid insufficient attention to the intersection between intergroup contact, perceived cultural distance, and policy support. Using cross‐sectional data from a community sample of 210 Turkish citizens, this study examined whether perceived cultural dist...
Introduction: Work and family trajectories develop and interact over the life course in complex ways. Previous studies drew a fragmented picture of these trajectories and had limited scope. We provide the most comprehensive study of early-to-midlife work-family trajectories to date.
Methods: Using retrospective data from waves 3 and 7 of the Surve...
Although the effectiveness of intergroup contact as a mechanism for reducing prejudice is well-established, limited research has simultaneously examined this effect among groups that are in different contact relationships. Using data based on a between-group cross-sectional design from 335 Turkish undergraduate students, this study compared the dir...
Bridge employment—retirees performing paid work before permanently retiring—is becoming increasingly common. However, it remains unclear how bridge employment is shaped by people’s work–family trajectories across different welfare states. Using the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe and estimating 3-level linear probability models, r...
Job resources benefit and motivate workers and, therefore, facilitate longer working lives. Yet, little is known about how job resources develop over time and how, in turn, trajectories of job resources are associated with retirement timing. Accordingly, this study examines job resource trajectories of older workers and to what extent these traject...
How well can social scientists predict societal change, and what processes
underlie their predictions? To answer these questions, we ran two
forecasting tournaments testing the accuracy of predictions of societal
change in domains commonly studied in the social sciences: ideological
preferences, political polarization, life satisfaction, sentiment...
This initiative examined systematically the extent to which a large set of archival research findings generalizes across contexts. We repeated the key analyses for 29 original strategic management effects in the same context (direct reproduction) as well as in 52 novel time periods and geographies; 45% of the reproductions returned results matching...
A good deal of research has underscored the utility of Self-Determination Theory for understanding students’ and teachers’ motivational processes in the language classroom. However, learning and using a new language also takes place beyond formal educational contexts during interactions with members of the target language community, where motivatio...
How can we maximize what is learned from a replication study? In the creative destruction approach to replication, the original hypothesis is compared not only to the null hypothesis, but also to predictions derived from multiple alternative theoretical accounts of the phenomenon. To this end, new populations and measures are included in the design...
Drawing on the concept of a gale of creative destruction in a capitalistic economy, we argue that initiatives to assess the robustness of findings in the organizational literature should aim to simultaneously test competing ideas operating in the same theoretical space. In other words, replication efforts should seek not just to support or question...
This study examined the effect of imagined contact on Turks’ prejudice against Kurds and Syrians, with a focus on the moderating role of in-group identification and the mediating role of intergroup threat in the imagined contact-prejudice relationship. An experiment was conducted among 335 Turkish undergraduate students (154 males, 180 females; Mag...
