Abstract

Bu çalışmanın temel amacı; kimlik işlevleri ile kolektif eylem tutumu arasındaki ilişkide sosyal adalet algısının rolünü incelemektir. Bu amaç doğrultusunda araştırmanın örneklemi Türkiye’nin farklı bölgelerinden kolay örneklem yöntemiyle 8 üniversiteden 263 kadın, 242 erkek toplam 505 bireyden oluşturulmuştur. Katılımcıların yaş aralığı 18-32’dir. Çalışmada kimlik işlevleri ölçeği kolektif eylem ölçeği ve sosyal adalet/sizlik ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Analizler sonucunda sosyal adalet algısının hem genel kolektif eylem eğilimini hem de kolektif eylemin her iki alt boyutunu da yordadığı saptanmıştır. Diğer taraftan sosyal adaletin; kimlik işlevleri ile kolektif eylem arasındaki ilişkide düzenleyici bir rolü olduğu görülmüştür. Bulgular, yapı kimlik işlevi alt boyutu ile genel olarak kolektif eylem arasında sosyal adaletin aracı rolü olduğunu; yine yapı işlevi ve kolektif eylem alt boyutu olan bireye yasal sorumluluk yüklemeyen eylemler arasındaki ilişkide sosyal adaletin düzenleyici rolü olduğunu göstermiştir. Ayrıca kimlik işlevi alt boyutlarından uyum ve kontrol işlev boyutları ile kolektif eylemin bireye yasal sorumluluk yüklemeyen eylemler alt boyutu arasındaki ilişkide sosyal adaletin düzenleyici role sahip olduğu bulunmuştur. Araştırma sonucunda elde edilen bulgular ilgili literatür ışığında tartışılmıştır.
