Yayın Suriyeli sığınmacılarda Türklerle temas ve psikolojik iyi oluş ilişkisinde aracı değişkenler(Sanat ve Dil Araştırmaları Enstitüsü, 2019-10-10) Bağcı Hemşinlioğlu, Sabahat Çiğdem; Canpolat, EsraSon yıllarda Türkiye’de ve dünyada artan göç sayısı ile birlikte, farklı gruplar arasındaki ilişkileri düzenlemek ve uyum sürecinde çeşitli zorluklar yaşayan göçmen, sığınmacı ve mülteci grupların psikolojik iyi oluşlarını arttırabilmek adına gruplararası temasın etki mekanizmasının anlaşılması bir gereklilik haline gelmiştir. Bu araştırmanın amacı, Suriyeli sığınmacıların Türklerle temasının psikolojik iyi oluşlarıyla ilişkisinde gruplararası kaygı, içgrupla özdeşleşme ve toplumsal kabullenilmenin aracı rolünü incelemektir. Toplamda 163 Suriyeli katılımcı (88 kadın, 75 erkek) gruplararası temas, gruplararası kaygı, çoklu-grup kimlikle özdeşleşme, toplumsal kabullenilme ve psikolojik büyüme ölçeklerini cevaplandırmıştır. Araştırmanın sonucunda, olumlu temasın gruplararası kaygı ile olumsuz, içgrup kimlikle özdeşleşme ve toplumsal kabullenme ile olumlu yönde ilişkili olduğuna dair bulgular elde edilmiştir. Aynı zamanda, gruplararası kaygı, kimlikle özdeşleşme ve toplumsal kabullenilme psikolojik iyi oluşu anlamlı şekilde yordamaktadır. Gruplararası temas ve psikolojik iyi oluş arasındaki ilişkinin doğrudan anlamlı olmadığı; ancak bu ilişkinin üç aracı değişken aracılığıyla dolaylı olarak anlamlı olduğu bulunmuştur. Bulgular Suriyeli sığınmacıların Türklerle olumlu temasının psikolojik iyi oluşlarına olumlu katkısının altını çizmektedir.Yayın Imagined contact facilitates acculturation, sometimes: contradicting evidence from two sociocultural contexts(Educational Publishing Foundation-American Psychological Assoc, 2019-10) Bağcı Hemşinlioğlu, Sabahat Çiğdem; Piyale, Zeynep Ecem; Stathi, SofiaObjective: Imagined intergroup contact has been shown to be an effective tool to improve intergroup relationships in various settings, yet the application of the strategy among minority group members and across cultures has been scarce. The current research aimed to test imagined contact effects on minority group members' acculturation strategies (contact participation and culture maintenance), perceived discrimination, feelings of belongingness, and social acceptance across three studies conducted in the United Kingdom (Study 1) and Turkey (Studies 2 and 3). Method: The sample consisted of Eastern Europeans in Study 1 (N = 63) and Kurds in Study 2 and 3 (N = 66 and 210, respectively). Participants were randomly assigned to 1 of 2 conditions (control vs. imagined contact) and completed measures of acculturation, perceived discrimination, general belongingness, and social acceptance. Results: Findings showed that while imagined contact significantly reduced perceived discrimination and culture maintenance, and increased contact participation and social acceptance among Eastern Europeans (Study 1), it reduced social acceptance and contact participation among Kurds recruited from a conflict-ridden homogeneous setting (Study 2). With a larger and more heterogeneous sample of Kurds (Study 3), these effects occurred only among those with higher ingroup identification. Moreover, in all studies social acceptance mediated the effects of imagined contact on contact participation and perceived discrimination. Discussion. Findings offer important insights about the use of the imagined contact strategy among minority group members and imply the need to take into account the context-dependent nature of contact strategies.Yayın Cross-group friendships and outgroup attitudes among Turkish–Kurdish ethnic groups: does perceived interethnic conflict moderate the friendship-attitude link?(Wiley, 2017-02) Bağcı Hemşinlioğlu, Sabahat Çiğdem; Çelebi, ElifWe investigated associations between cross-group friendships, perceived interethnic conflict, and outgroup attitudes in the context of intractable Turkish–Kurdish conflict in Turkey. Measures of cross-group friendship quantity, perceived conflict, outgroup attitudes, multiculturalism, and outgroup responsibility for conflict were completed by Turkish (N = 320) and Kurdish (N = 153) participants (Mage = 21, 156 males, 317 females). Both cross-group friendships and perceived conflict were related to outcome variables. While cross-group friendships were beneficial for both groups’ outgroup attitudes when perceived conflict was lower; when perceived conflict level was higher, positive associations between friendships and attitudes became non-significant for the Turkish group and negative for the Kurdish group. Implications of the findings for the intergroup contact theory have been discussed.Yayın Discrimination towards ethnic minorities: how does it relate to majority group members’ outgroup attitudes and support for multiculturalism(Springer, 2017-03) Bağcı Hemşinlioğlu, Sabahat Çiğdem; Çelebi, Elif; Karaköse Çelik, SelinWe examined how ethnic discrimination targeting ethnic minority group members would affect majority group members’ attitudes and multiculturalism towards ethnic minority groups in the context of Turkish–Kurdish interethnic conflict. Study 1 (N = 356) demonstrated that the extent to which majorities (Turkish) believed there was ethnic discrimination towards minorities (Kurdish) in the Turkish society was associated with positive outgroup attitudes and support for multiculturalism through decreased levels of perceived threat from the outgroup. Study 2 (N = 82) showed that Turkish participants who read bogus news reports about the prevalence of ethnic discrimination towards the Kurdish were more positive towards this ethnic group (higher levels of support for multiculturalism, culture maintenance, and intergroup contact) compared to participants in the neutral condition. Furthermore, participants who were presented with lower levels of discrimination (few companies have been discriminatory against the Kurdish) were more positive towards Kurdish people than participants who were presented with higher levels of discrimination (most companies have been discriminatory against the Kurdish). Regardless of the intensity of discrimination, information about the prevalence of ethnic discrimination improved majority members’ attitudes towards ethnic minority groups. Practical and theoretical implications of the studies were discussed.Yayın Imagined contact in high conflict settings: The role of ethnic group identification and the perspective of minority group members(Wiley, 2018-01) Bağcı Hemşinlioğlu, Sabahat Çiğdem; Piyale, Zeynep Ecem; Ebcim, EfsaneRecent contact literature has shown that imagining a positive intergroup encounter improves intergroup attitudes and behaviors, yet less is known about the effects of imagined contact in high conflict settings. We conducted three studies to understand the potential effects of imagined intergroup contact among ethnic Turks ( majority status) and ethnic Kurds ( minority status) in the Turkish-Kurdish interethnic conflict setting. Study 1 (N = 47, Turkish) tested standard imagined contact effects ( neutral vs. standard imagined contact condition) among majority Turks and showed that imagined contact was effective on outgroup attitudes, perceived threat, intergroup anxiety, and support for multiculturalism only among participants with higher ethnic identification. Study 2 (N = 107, Turkish) examined how ethnic identification of the contact partner would influence the effectiveness of the standard imagined contact scenario ( neutral vs. standard vs. ethnic identification condition) and demonstrated that imagined contact effects were more negative when the contact partner identified with his/her ethnic group during imagined contact. Study 3 (N = 55, Kurdish) investigated imagined contact effects ( neutral vs. standard imagined contact condition) among an ethnic minority group and showed that imagined contact did not improve minority group members' outgroup attitudes, but did decrease intergroup anxiety and perceived discrimination (marginally significantly) and increased perceived positive attitudes from the majority group. Practical implications of the use of imagined intergroup contact strategy in conflict-ridden settings were discussed.Yayın Etnik ve ulusal kimlikler ile dış grup tutumları ilişkisinde çatışma algısı ve dış gruba sorumluluk yükleme(Turkish Psychological Association, 2017-12) Bağcı Hemşinlioğlu, Sabahat Çiğdem; Çelebi, ElifBu araştırmada etnik ve ulusal kimliklerle özdeşim ile dış grup tutumları arasındaki ilişki, algılanan çatışma düzeyi ve dış gruba sorumluluk yükleme değişkenlerinin aracı rolü incelenerek değerlendirilmiştir. Sosyal kimlik teorisi ışığında, etnik kimliklerin olumlu dış grup tutumlarıyla negatif yönde ilişkili olacağı ve bu ilişkinin artan çatışma algısı ve dış gruba sorumluluk yükleme seviyeleri ile açıklanacağı; ortak iç grup kimlik teorisi ışığında ise ulusal kimliklerin olumlu dış grup tutumlarıyla pozitif yönde ilişkili olacağı ve bu ilişkinin azalan çatışma algısı ve dış gruba sorumluluk yükleme seviyeleri ile açıklanacağı öne sürülmüştür. Veriler Türkiye'nin değişik illerindeki üniversite kampüslerinde toplanmış, toplamda 320 Türk ve 153 Kürt üniversite öğrencisi arasında sınanmıştır. Yol analizleri sonuçlarına göre, her iki kimlikle özdeşim dış grup tutumlarıyla önerilen yönlerde ilişkili iken, algılanan çatışma seviyesi ve dış grup sorumluluk yükleme seviyesi bu ilişkilerde kısmi aracılar olarak rol almıştır. Ayrıca, Türk ve Kürt gruplar arasında dış grup tutumları ve algılanan çatışma seviyeleri arasında anlamlı farklılıklar gözlenmiştir. Türklerle karşılaştırıldığında Kürtler daha yüksek çatışma algısı ve dış gruba sorumluluk yükleme seviyeleri belirtmiştir. Aynı şekilde, Kürtler Türklere göre dış gruba karşı daha negatif tutumlar sergilemiştir. Türkiye'deki Türk-Kürt etnik gruplar arasındaki ilişkiler sosyal kimlik ve ortak iç grup kimlik teorileri göz önüne alınarak tartışılmıştır.Yayın Cross-ethnic friendship self-efficacy: A new predictor of cross-ethnic friendships among children(SAGE Publications Ltd, 2020-10-01) Bağcı Hemşinlioğlu, Sabahat Çiğdem; Cameron, Lindsey; Turner, Rhiannon N.; Morais, Catarina; Carby, Afiya; Ndhlovu, Mirina; Leney, AnaiseAcross two studies (N-Study 1 = 101; N-Study 2 = 262) conducted among children in the UK, we incorporate Bandura's (1986) self-efficacy theory to intergroup contact literature and introduce the new construct of cross-ethnic friendship self-efficacy (CEFSE), the belief that one can successfully form and maintain high-quality cross-ethnic friendships. Study 1 examined whether sources of CEFSE beliefs (prior contact, indirect contact, social norms, and intergroup anxiety) predicted higher quality cross-ethnic friendships through CEFSE. Study 2 replicated Study 1 and extended it by including perceived parental cross-ethnic friendship quality as a further predictor. In both studies, sources of self-efficacy beliefs (except social norms) were related to CEFSE, which predicted higher quality cross-ethnic friendships. Study 2 demonstrated that parental cross-ethnic friendships had direct and indirect associations with children's cross-ethnic friendships through sources of CEFSE and CEFSE beliefs. Findings are discussed in the light of self-efficacy and intergroup contact theories.Yayın Cross-group friendships and psychological well-being: A dual pathway through social integration and empowerment(Wiley, 2018-10-01) Bağcı Hemşinlioğlu, Sabahat Çiğdem; Türnüklü, Abbas; Bekmezci, EyüpThis study investigated the associations between cross-group friendships and psychological well-being among a sample of physically disabled adults. A total of 269 disabled people (M-age=39.13, SD=13.80; 114 females, 152 males, 3 unknown) completed questionnaires including the quality of their friendships with non-disabled people, perceived majority group's attitudes towards the minority group, collective self-esteem, collective action tendencies, own outgroup attitudes, and psychological well-being. Findings demonstrated that disabled people's cross-group friendships were directly and indirectly associated with higher levels of psychological well-being via two routes: one by promoting perceived majority attitudes which consequently led to more positive own outgroup attitudes (well-being through social integration hypothesis) and the other by leading to higher levels of collective self-esteem which enhanced collective action tendencies (well-being through empowerment hypothesis). Findings offer important insights into the study of cross-group friendships in relation to the psychological well-being of stigmatized minority group members.Yayın Think beyond contact: Reformulating imagined intergroup contact theory by adding friendship potential(Sage Publications Ltd, 2018-10-01) Bağcı Hemşinlioğlu, Sabahat Çiğdem; Piyale, Zeynep Ecem; Birçek, Nazlı Işık; Ebcim, EfsaneThree experiments were conducted to test whether an imagined contact scenario with friendship potential would be more effective than the standard imagined contact scenario in changing Turkish participants' attitudes and behaviors towards Syrian refugees. Experiment 1 (N = 99) showed that adding a specific friendship indicator to the contact scenario (intimacy or interaction) increased the effectiveness of the typical positive contact strategy on outgroup trust. Experiment 2 (N = 145) demonstrated that imagining a positive contact scenario which included both intimacy and interaction elements simultaneously was more effective than the standard imagined contact scenario in increasing outgroup trust and behavioral intentions. Experiment 3 (N = 79) demonstrated that simply adding an explicit statement about the potential of forming a cross-group friendship improved the effectiveness of the imagined contact paradigm on attitudes, trust, behavioral intentions, and perceived threat. Theoretical and practical implications of findings for the development of imagined contact interventions are discussed.Yayın The buffering role of in-group identification and intergroup contact on the association between perceived discrimination and mental health(John Wiley and Sons Ltd, 2018-09/10) Bağcı Hemşinlioğlu, Sabahat Çiğdem; Türnüklü, Abbas; Bekmezci, EyüpPrevious research has shown that disadvantaged group members cope with the negative effects of perceived discrimination (PD) on mental health using various mechanisms. We examined the potential protective role of two processesin-group identification and intergroup contacton the association between PD and mental health (anxiety and depression) among physically disabled adults (N=269, M-age=39.13, SD=13.80). Intergroup contact, but not in-group identification, had a buffering role on the association between PD and both depression and anxiety. However, this effect was further moderated by in-group identification such that high levels of intergroup contact had a protective role against PD, only when in-group identification was low. Findings highlight the importance of evaluating various social-psychological processes interactively in creating a resilient outlook among disadvantaged groups.
