Türkiye’de Kültürel Ön Yargıların Azaltılmasına Yönelik Müdahale Yaklaşımları: Sistematik Bir İnceleme

Öz

Türkiye, tarih boyunca kültürel ön yargıların yaygın olduğu bir toplumsal bağlam olarak öne çıkmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, Türkiye bağlamında “kültürel ön yargı” terimi etnik gruplar, mülteci-yerel halk ve coğrafi kimlikler arası ön yargıları kapsayacak şekilde kullanılmaktadır. Son yıllarda, Türkiye’de bu tür ön yargıları azaltmaya yönelik çeşitli müdahaleler geliştirilmiş ve test edilmiştir. Ancak bu müdahalelerin kapsamını ve etkililik düzeylerini değerlendirmek için mevcut çalışmaların bütüncül biçimde incelenmesi gerekmektedir. Bu sistematik inceleme, 2010-2024 yılları arasında Türkiye’de kültürel gruplar arası ön yargıları azaltmayı hedefleyen müdahale çalışmalarına dair mevcut alan yazını incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Çalışmalar ön yargı alanı, hedef grup, müdahale stratejisi ve etkililik düzeyi gibi ölçütler doğrultusunda sistematik olarak özetlenmiştir. Bulgular, alan yazının kapsamını, eğilimlerini ve müdahale örüntülerini ortaya koymakta; psikoloji ve sosyoloji gibi toplumsal bilim alanlardaki gelecekteki araştırma ve uygulamalara yönelik çeşitli çıkarım ve öneriler sunmaktadır.

Intervention Approaches for Reducing Cultural Prejudices in Türkiye: A Systematic Review

Öz

Türkiye has historically been a context where cultural prejudices are widespread. In this study, the term “cultural prejudice” refers to biases among ethnic groups, between refugees and local populations, and across geographical identities. In recent years, various interventions have been developed and tested to reduce such prejudices in Türkiye. However, a comprehensive review is needed to evaluate the scope and effectiveness of these efforts. This systematic review aims to examine the existing literature on interventions targeting intercultural prejudice in Türkiye between 2010 and 2024. The studies were systematically reviewed based on criteria such as the type of prejudice, target group, intervention strategy, and effectiveness. The findings highlight prevailing trends, common intervention approaches, and existing research gaps, providing valuable insights and guidance for future research and practice in fields such as psychology, sociology, and other social sciences.
