Bir “Cemaat” Terör Örgütüne Nasıl Dönüştü? Gülen Cemaati’nin Eski Grup Üyelerinin Anlatımına Dayalı Değerlendirilmesi

15 Temmuz 2016 tarihinde Türkiye, etki alanı ve planlanan eylemin şiddeti göz önüne alındığında “işgal” denebilecek bir süreci atlattı. İşgal içerisinde yer alan bireylerin psikolojik durumlarının anlaşılabilmesi için Fethullahçı Terör Örgütü’nün (FETÖ) ne tür bir yapılanmaya sahip olduğunun araştırılması gerekmektedir. Bu araştırmanın amacı, belirli bir süre bu grup içerisinde yer almış bireylerin anlatımlarına dayalı bir şekilde grubun dinamiklerinin, yapısının, sembol kullanımlarının ve grubun devamlılığı açısından işlevsel olan davranışların irdelenmesidir. Bu terör örgütünün sosyal psikoloji literatüründe oldukça iyi bilinen grup sargınlığı, grup gururu, bilişsel çelişki olgularını kullanarak gruba üye devşirdiği düşünülmektedir. Dolayısıyla grubun yapısının ve çekiciliğinin anlaşılabilmesi açısından sosyal psikoloji perspektifi elzemdir

How a Religious Community Turned out to be a Terrorist Organisation: An Analysis of Gulenist Community Based on the Expressions of the Former Group Associates

On the date of July 15, 2016 considering the orbit and the severity of the planned action, Turkey has eluded a process which can be named as an “occupation”. For this process to be comprehended, what kind of structure Fethullah Terrorist Organization (FETO) has must be investigated. Purpose of this research is to examine the group dynamics, group structure, the usage of symbols and the functioning behaviours for the continuity of the group, based upon the expressions of the people who have been a part of this group for a while. It is thought that this terrorist organization recruits members by using the well known phenomenons of social psychology literature such as group cohesiveness, group pride and cognitive contradicition. Thereby, social psychology perspective is essential for the group structure and attraction to be understood
