Sağ Kanat Yetkeciliğinin Adil Dünya İnancı ve Toplumsal Önceliklerle İlişkisi

Öz

Bu çalışmanın temel amacı, Türkiye bağlamında, üniversite mezunu ağırlıklı yetişkin örneklemde sağ kanat yetkeciliği (SKY) ile adil dünya inancı (ADİ) arasındaki ilişkilerin incelenmesidir. Çalışmada katılımcıların SKY düzeyleri ile sosyodemografik özellikleri ve çeşitli toplumsal alanlara atfettikleri önem düzeyleri arasındaki ilişkiler de değerlendirilmiştir. Araştırma, ilişkisel tarama modelinde tasarlanmış nicel bir çalışma olup, 100 üniversite mezunu ve 32 üniversite öğrencisinden oluşan toplam 132 katılımcıdan çevrimiçi anket yöntemiyle, kolayda örnekleme yoluyla toplanan veriler üzerinden yürütülmüştür. Örneklemin yaş dağılımı orta-ileri yetişkinlere kaymaktadır (Ort.=50,37; %62,9’u 50 yaş üstü); bu nedenle bulguların yaş/kuşak (kohort) kompozisyonuna duyarlı olabileceği ve genç örneklemlere genellenirken temkinli olunması gerektiği not edilmelidir. Bulgular, SKY puanları ile hem kişisel hem de genel adil dünya inancı puanları arasında pozitif yönlü ilişkiler bulunduğunu göstermektedir. Bunun yanı sıra, SKY düzeyi arttıkça eğitim ile haklar ve özgürlükler alanlarına atfedilen önemin azaldığı saptanmıştır. Bulgular, SKY ile ADİ arasındaki ilişkilerin psikolojik ve sosyo-bilişsel süreçler bağlamında ele alınabileceğine işaret etmektedir.

The Relationship Between Right Wing Authoritarianism, Belief In A Just World And Social Priorities

Öz

The main objective of this study is to examine the relationships between right-wing authoritarianism (RWA) and belief in a just world (BJW) in a sample of adults, predominantly university graduates, within the context of Turkey. The study also evaluates the relationships between participants' levels of RWA and their sociodemographic characteristics, and the importance they attribute to various social areas. This research is a quantitative study designed using a correlational survey model, and data was collected from a total of 132 participants (100 university graduates and 32 university students) via an online survey using convenience sampling. The age distribution of the sample is shifting towards middle-aged to older adults (Mean = 50.37; 62.9% are over 50); therefore, it should be noted that the findings may be sensitive to age/generation (cohort) composition and caution should be exercised when generalizing to younger samples. The findings show a positive correlation between RWA scores and both personal and overall BJW scores. Furthermore, it was found that as the level of RWA increases, the importance attributed to education and rights and freedoms decreases. These findings suggest that the relationships between RWA and BJW can be examined within the context of psychological and socio-cognitive processes.
