Büşra Elif Yelbuz
Main Focus
Büsra Yelbuz’s research focuses on the
dispositional and social factors that influence selectivity in prosocial and
antisocial behaviour. The first part of her PhD project tackles the question of
why some individuals are more selective than others in who they are prosocial
towards, and whether such individual differences can be explained by
personality traits. She is also working on adapting well-established measures
of prosocial behavior to capture inter-individual variance in selective
prosociality.
From July 2023 until July 2025, Büsra Yelbuz had been Open Science Ambassador at the MPI-CSL.
