Sosyal Kimliğe Atfedilen Motivasyon Kaynakları ve Gruplar Arası Tutumlar

Bu çalışmada bir sosyal kimlik olarak Türk kimliğine atfedilen motivasyon kaynakları (özsaygı, ayırt edilme, aitolma, süreklilik ve etkililik) ile gruplar arası tutumlar arasındaki ilişkiler incelenmiştir. Çalışmada gruplar arası tutumlar, Kürtlere, Avrupalılara ve Suriyeli sığınmacılara yönelik olarak iç-grup yanlılığı ve tehdit veya çatışma algısıbakımından ele alınmıştır. Çalışmaya 157 üniversite öğrencisi katılmıştır. Çalışmada Türk kimliğine atfedilen sosyalmotivasyon kaynakları ölçekleri, Kürtlerle algılanan çatışma ölçeği, Avrupalılardan algılanan tehdit ölçeği, Suriyelisığınmacılardan algılanan tehdit ölçeği ve grup değerlendirme maddeleri kullanılmıştır. Hiyerarşik regresyon analizibulgularına göre, Kürtlere yönelik iç-grup yanlılığı, özsaygı ve ait olma; çatışma algısı, ait olma ve ayırt edilmeile ilişkili bulunmuştur. Avrupalılara yönelik iç-grup yanlılığı, özsaygı; tehdit algısı, ait olma ile ilişkilidir. Suriyelisığınmacılara yönelik iç-grup yanlılığı, özsaygı ve ait olma; tehdit algısı, ayırt edilme ile ilişkilidir. Aracı değişkenanalizi bulgularına göre, ait olma ile Kürtlere yönelik iç-grup yanlığı arasındaki ilişkiye çatışma algısı aracılık etmiştir.

Motivations Attributed to Having a Social Identity and Intergroup Attitudes

This study examined the relationship between motivations attributed to having a Turkish identity and intergroup attitudes in Turkey. The study dealt with the intergroup attitudes towards the Kurds, Europeans, and Syrian refugees in terms of in-group favoritism and perception of threat or conflict. Social identity motivations attributed to having a Turkish identity were self-esteem, distinctiveness, belonging, continuity, and efficacy. One hundred and fifty seven university students participated in the study. They completed the measures of social identity motivations attributed to having a Turkish identity (5), perceived conflict with the Kurds, perceived threat with the Europeans, threat scale for the Syrian refugees, and 2-items for the evaluations of in-and out-groups. Hierarchical regression analyses showed that self-esteem and belonging predicted in-group favoritism while belonging and distinctiveness predicted perceived conflict for the Kurds. The self-esteem predicted in-group favoritism and belonging predicted perceived threat for the Europeans. The self-esteem and belonging predicted in-group favoritism and distinctiveness predicted perceived threat for the Syrian refugees. According to the mediation analysis, perceived conflict mediated the relationship between belonging and in-group favoritism for the Kurds. The results were discussed regarding the relevant literature and context of the study
