Social Psychology Research in Türkiye: 1990 - 2022
The purpose of this study was to do a compilation and assessment of publications presenting empirical studies
conducted on Turkish samples between 1990 and 2019. Publicly available resumes of social psychologists at Turkish
universities, Turkish psychology journals, and other sources were searched for eligible articles and chapters. The 412
publications reached based on specified criteria were classified under eleven headings and subjected to various analyses.
All articles were coded according to the characteristics of the publication, aspects of the reported studies, methods, and
type of variables studied. The distribution of publications in the decades 1990-1999, 2000-2009, 2010-2019, and between
2020-2022, revealed some basic findings. The number of publications has tripled over each decade, and over time, the
proportion of international publications has increased. In the majority of the publications, the results of a single study
were reported, and the data collection was overwhelmingly carried out in Turkey. Studies using qualitative or experimental research designs remained in the minority, and in the majority of studies, correlational analyses were used, and
subjective states were measured. The number of publications varied both in terms of their distribution by topic within the
total, and in terms of patterns over the decades. Intergroup relations (including political psychology), and interpersonal
relations (including aggression, prosocial behavior, and morality) appear to be the fastest-growing areas of research in
social psychology. The findings of the study are discussed in the context of a predictive TÜBA report written 20 years ago,
and recent developments in psychology in Turkey and the world
