Khizir Rizwan is a Psychology major at Kadir Has University and a Research Intern at the MINT Lab. As an international student from Pakistan, his interest in this specific field is driven by the cultural contrasts he observes between his home country and Turkey. He is particularly intrigued by how these regional differences impact religious thought and social behavior. At the lab, Khizir’s research focuses on the evolutionary and cultural psychology of veiling, utilizing signaling theory and mate-guarding frameworks. By analyzing cross-cultural data and experimental image ratings, he seeks to understand the complex interplay between biological foundations and the diverse cultural environments that shape human belief systems.
