Bu makalede ‘Azınlık gruplarının üyeleri etnik kimliklerini nasıl oluştururlar?’ sorusu üzerinden etnik / kültürel kimlik oluşum süreciyle ilişkili deneyimler analiz edilmeye çalışılmıştır. Bu amaçla çalışmada niteliksel metodoloji kullanılmış ve veri analizleri Yorumlayıcı Fenomenolojik Analiz kılavuzu ve adımlarına göre yapılmıştır. Arap Alevi toplumundan dokuz katılımcıyla yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme yoluyla, neredeyse bir hafta arayla iki kez görüşülmüş ve her görüşme neredeyse 50 dakika sürmüştür. Katılımcıların yaşları 18 ile 70 arasında değişmektedir. Analiz sonucunda ‘kimliğin oluşma süreci’ ana teması ile bununla ilişkili üç alt tema ortaya çıkmıştır; ‘Herkesin aynı olduğu varsayımı’, ‘Kişinin kendi farklılıklarının farkına varması’ ve ‘Bilgi Toplama(Yolları)’.Katılımcıların çoğu kimlik oluşum sürecinin başında herkesin aynı olduğunu ve insanlar arasında etnisite ve dini açıdan herhangi bir farklılık olmadığını düşündüklerini rapor etmişlerdir. Daha sonra bazı deneyimlerle farklı olduklarını fark ettiklerini ve bu durumu anlamak için aile, din lideri veya kitaplar gibi farklı kaynaklardan bilgi topladıklarını ifade etmişlerdir. Ortaya çıkan temalar etnik kimlik literatürü ışığında tartışılmıştır.

This article analyzes the experiences associated with ethnic/cultural identity formation process through the question of ‘How do members of minority groups form their ethnic identity?’. For this aim, qualitative methodology was applied and data analyses were done based on Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis guidance and steps. Nine participants from Arab Alevi community were interviewed twice via semi-structured interview, almost with one week interval and each interview lasted almosted 50 minutes. The participants age range changes between 18 and 70. The analyses ended up with one superordinate theme; ‘The process of ethnic identity formation’ and three subthemes namely, ‘The assumption that everybody is the same’, ‘Realization of one’s own differences’, and ‘(Ways of) Gathering Information’.Most of the participants reported that at the beginning of the ethnic identity formation process, they thought that everbody was the same and there were not any differences between people in terms of ethnicity and religious. Later on, they realized the differences through some experiences and to make it understandable they gathered information from different sources like, family, religious leader or books. The emerged themes are discussed in the light of the ethnic identity literature.
