In... more Studies concerning utilitarian judgements have generally relied on sacrificial moral dilemmas. In their study, Kahane et al. (2017) made distinction between utilitarian judgements and developed a new scale to measure two dimensions of utilitarianism namely impartial beneficence and instrumental harm. This study aims to extensively examine the psychometric properties of adapted version of the Oxford Utilitarianism Scale in Turkish sample (n=290). Concerning the reliability of the scale, internal consistency and item-total correlation coefficients are found to be satisfactory. Consistent with the original scale two factor model was supported (2 factor solution was explained 54.24% of total variance) and confirmatory factor analysis revealed an adequate fit. As for the validity studies, convergent validity of the scale is supported revealing the association of OUS total, impartial beneficence and instrumental harm with conceptually related measures, which included sub-clinical psychopathy, empathy and perspective taking. The theoretical and practical implications of this study are discussed. Keywords: Oxford Utilitarianism Scale, utilitarian judgements, personality, convergent validity, confirmatory factor analysis

Sample consists of 179 female and 56 male undergraduates (M age=20.21). Self-comparison and the actor’s responsibility from the misfortune are manipulated by different scenarios. Participants are randomly assigned to 4 different groups; high achiever high responsibility, high achiever low responsibility, low achiever high responsibility, low achiever low responsibility. Helping behavior is measured with a question which is related to responsibility scenario. Results show that decison of help is predicted by schadenfreude and sympathy significantly. There are several differences between those who choose to help the actor and who don’t in terms of schadenfreude, sympathy. Correlations show that there are several relationships between self-esteem, self-comparison, schadenfreude and sympathy but there are no significant relationship between amount of help and the other measures. Results of the study are discussed within the light of literature.

Akademik çalışmaların yanı sıra gündelik hayatımızda sıklıkla deneyimlediğimiz ya da deneyimlendiğine şahit olduğumuz, zararına sevinme duygusunun incelenmesinin önem arz ettiği düşünülmektedir. Nitekim düşünürlerin bir kısmı tarafından “nahoş” olarak nitelendirilen, kimileri tarafındansa “olağan” görülen bu duygu, reddetmeye çalışsak da hayatımızın bir parçası olmaya devam edecektir. Bu nedenle hangi koşulların, hangi duyguların, hangi beyin bölümlerinin, hangi kişilik özelliklerinin söz konusu duygunun deneyimlenmesi ile ilişkili olduğunu kavramanın, zararına sevinme duygusuna ilişkin yeni bakış açıları geliştirmeye olanak sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir.
