Yayın Are your cross-ethnic friends ethnic and/or national group identifiers?The role of own and perceived cross-ethnic friend's identities on outgroup attitudes and multiculturalism(Wiley, 2018-02-01) Bağcı Hemşinlioğlu, Sabahat Çiğdem; Çelebi, ElifWe investigated how own ethnic and national identities and perceived ethnic and national identities of close cross-ethnic friends may predict outgroup attitudes and multiculturalism among Turkish (majority status, N=197) and Kurdish (minority status, N=80) ethnic group members in Turkey (M-age=21.12, SD=2.59, 69.7% females, 30.3% males). Compared with Turkish participants, Kurdish participants were more asymmetrical in rating their cross-ethnic friend's identities relative to their own, reporting higher ethnic identity, but lower national identity for themselves. Own ethnic identity was negatively associated with attitudes and multiculturalism, whereas own national identity was positively associated with only attitudes. Perceived cross-ethnic friend's national identity was positively related to both outgroup attitudes and multiculturalism. Shared national identification (high levels of own and friend's national identity) led to most positive outgroup attitudes and highest support for multiculturalism. Findings were discussed in the light of social identity and common ingroup identity models.Yayın I (dis)like the way you (dis)like them: The role of extended contact on social distance and attitudes towards the ingroup(Wiley, 2020-04) Bağcı Hemşinlioğlu, Sabahat Çiğdem; Stathi, Sofia; Vezzali, Loris; Türnüklü, Abbas; Piyale, Zeynep EcemWhile extended intergroup contact has been commonly studied in the context of prejudice reduction, less is known about its implications for processes related to the ingroup. Through three correlational and one experimental studies (total N = 897) conducted in two different intergroup contexts (Turkey and United Kingdom), we investigated whether extended intergroup contact relates to social distance and attitudes towards ingroup members as a function of outgroup attitudes. We also investigated ingroup identification and perceived ingroup morality as potential mediators in these associations. Correlational studies demonstrated that especially when outgroup attitudes were more negative, participants' positive (but not negative) extended contact was related to a more negative evaluation of the ingroup; whereas when outgroup attitudes were more positive, extended contact was associated with positive attitudes towards the ingroup. We found experimental evidence for the suggested relationships in relation to ingroup social distance. Findings are discussed in the light of vicarious dissonance theory and deprovincialization hypothesis.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 Being tolerated and being discriminated against: Links to psychological well-being through threatened social identity needs(Wiley, 2020-12) Bağcı Hemşinlioğlu, Sabahat Çiğdem; Verkuyten, Maykel; Koç, Yasin; Türnüklü, Abbas; Piyale, Zeynep Ecem; Bekmezci, EyüpWe investigated whether and how the experience of being tolerated and of being discriminated against are associated with psychological well-being in three correlational studies among three stigmatized groups in Turkey (LGBTI group members, people with disabilities, and ethnic Kurds, totalN = 862). Perceived threat to social identity needs (esteem, meaning, belonging, efficacy, and continuity) was examined as a mediator in these associations. Structural equation models showed evidence for the detrimental role of both toleration and discrimination experiences on positive and negative psychological well-being through higher levels of threatened social identity needs. A mini-meta analysis showed small to moderate effect sizes and toleration was associated with lower positive well-being through threatened needs among all three stigmatized groups.Yayın Beyond shifting intergroup attitudes: Intergroup contact's association with socio-cognitive skills and group-based ideologies(Wiley, 2019-07-01) Bağcı Hemşinlioğlu, Sabahat Çiğdem; Piyale, Zeynep Ecem; Şen, Ezgi; Yıldırım, OsmanWe investigated intergroup contact’s cognitively liberalizing function by testing it’s association with socio?cognitive skills (perspective?taking and empathy skills, and cognitive flexibility) and group?based ideologies (ethnocentrism and social dominance orientation [SDO]) among a majority (Turks) and minority (Kurds) status group (total N = 483). We further examined whether these relationships were provided by contact’s primary intergroup function—more positive attitudes toward the contacted group. Multigroup structural equation modeling analyses demonstrated that high quality cross?group friendships were directly and negatively related to both ethnocentrism and SDO among the minority group. These associations were mediated by positive outgroup attitudes among the majority group. For both groups, perspective? taking and empathy were significantly predicted by lower levels of ethnocentrism and SDO. Contact also indirectly led to higher cognitive flexibility among both groups. Findings highlight the need to explore more extensively contact’s psychological outcomes at the individual level, beyond changing outgroup attitudes.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 Intended, unintended, and unknown consequences of contact the role of positive-negative contact on outgroup attitudes, collective action tendencies, and psychological well-being(Hogrefe & Huber Publishers, 2019-01) Bağcı Hemşinlioğlu, Sabahat Çiğdem; Türnüklü, AbbasWe investigated the role of positive and negative contact on outgroup attitudes, collective action tendencies, and psychological well-being among minority (Kurds) and majority (Turks) group members in a conflict area (N = 527), testing ingroup identification, relative deprivation, are perceived discrimination as potential mediators in these associations. Contrary to recent research studies demonstrating the superiority of negative contact effects, positive contact was generally a stronger determinant of the dependent variables, directly and indirectly, in both groups, although negative contact also had some direct and indirect associations with the outcomes. Findings highlight the need to incorporate the role of positive and negative contact to provide a full understanding of the potential benefits/costs of the contact strategy it conflict settings.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 Gruplararası temas ve çatışma ile azınlıklara yönelik tutumlar ve çokkültürlülüğe destek arasındaki ilişkiler: gruplararası tehdit ve kaygının aracı rolü(Türk Psikologlar Derneği, 2017) Bağcı Hemşinlioğlu, Sabahat Çiğdem; Çelebi, ElifBu çalışmanın amacı Türkiye'de yaşayan iki önemli azınlık grubuna (Kürt ve Ermeni) yönelik dışgrup tutumları ve çokkültürlülüğü yordayan faktörleri incelemektir. Bu bağlamda, her iki grup için de gruplararası tehdit ve kaygının, algılanan çatışma ve gruplararası temas ile dışgrup tutumlar ve çokkültürlülüğe destek değişkenleri arasındaki ilişkilerde aracı rolü araştırılmıştır. Çalışmada İstanbul'da yaşayan ve kendini Türk olarak tanımlayan toplam 356 üniversite öğrencisinin Kürt ve Ermeni grup üyelerine yönelik düşünce ve tutumlarına ilişkin psikolojik mekanizmalar incelenmiştir. Sonuçlar her iki gruba yönelik tutumların eşit olumlulukta olduğunu göstermiş, ancak Kürtler bağlamında hem çokkültürlülüğe desteğin hem de algılanan çatışma ve temasın Ermenilere göre daha yüksek olduğu görülmüştür. Uygulanan yapısal eşitlik modelleri ise hem kaygı hem de tehdit değişkenlerinin tutumlar ve çokkültürlülükle ilişkili olduğunu, ancak aracı değişkenlerin etkilerinin iki azınlık grubu bağlamında farklılaştığını göstermiştir. Kürtlere yönelik modelde, tehdit, temas ve çatışmanın her iki bağımlı değişkende etkilerini açıklarken, Ermenilere yönelik modelde etkili bir aracı değildir. Beklenenin aksine, Kürtlere dair grup kaygısı temasın tutumlar üzerinde etkisine aracılık etmemekte, ancak Ermenilere dair grup kaygısı temasın her iki bağımlı değişkende etkilerini açıklamaktadır. Bulgular, Türkiye'de süregelen Türk-Kürt ve Türk-Ermeni gruplararası ilişkileri ışığında değerlendirilmiştir.
