Abstract

Bu çalışmanın temel amacı, Türk tüketicilerin böceklerin bir gıda olarak tüketilmesine yönelik algı ve tutumlarının ve bu tutumlarda kültürel etnosentrizm ve önyargıların etkili olup olmadığının belirlenmesidir. Bu amaçla, kartopu örnekleme yöntemi kullanılarak daha önce yurt dışına seyahat etmiş on beş kişi ve hiç yurt dışına çıkmamış beş kişi ile (toplamda 20 kişi) gönüllülük esasına dayalı olarak online görüşme yapılmış ve elde edilen veriler içerik analizi ile analiz edilmiştir. Sonuçlar yiyecek-içecek üretimi ile uğraşan ve daha önce yurtdışına seyahat etmiş kişilerin böcek tüketmeye/deneyimlemeye daha istekli olduklarını göstermektedir. Türk tüketiciler böcek yiyen kültürlere karşı önyargılı ve etnosentrik tutumlar göstermemekte, böcek tüketimini kültürel bir olgu olarak değerlendirmektedirler.

Cultural Ethnocentrism and Gastronomy: A Qualitative Study on Attitudes of Turkish Consumers towards Entomophagy

Abstract

The main aim of this study is to determine the perceptions and attitudes of Turkish consumers towards the consumption of insects as a food and whether cultural ethnocentrism and prejudices are effective in these attitudes. For this purpose, using the snowball sampling method, fifteen participants who have traveled abroad before and five participants who have never traveled (20 people in total) to a foreign country were interviewed online on a voluntary basis and the data were analyzed using content analysis. The results show that participants dealing with food and beverage production and who have previously traveled abroad are more willing to consume / experience insects. Turkish consumers do not show prejudice and ethnocentric attitudes towards insect-eating cultures (Entomophagy), and they consider insect consumption as a cultural phenomenon.

Keywords

Entomophagy, Ethnocentrism, Gastronomy, Nutrition, Turkish Consumers.
