Turkey is the largest refugee host country in the world with about 3.5 million registered Syrian refugees. In this study, we explored intergroup relations between Syrian refugees and Turks in Turkey. We focused on how Turkish people perceived Syrian refugees in Turkey and how these two groups interacted daily. We used an adaptation of McAdams’ Life Story Interview and asked questions about Syrian refugees in the Turkish context. Using this open-ended, qualitative interviewing technique allowed us to understand how Turks and Syrians interacted on a daily basis and what shaped Turkish people’s perceptions about refugees. We conducted a narrative analysis based on agency and communion themes. Results showed that age of participant was negatively correlated with communion, whereas education of participant was positively correlated with agency. Agency and communion positively correlated with each other. Narratives reflected a range of reflections Turkish citizens had about the large influx of Syrian refugees.

土耳其公民如何看待在土耳其的叙利亚难民


土耳其是世界上最大的难民收容国，约有 350 万登记在册的叙利亚难民。在这项研究中，我们探讨了叙利亚难民和土耳其土耳其人之间的群体间关系。我们关注了土耳其人如何看待在土耳其的叙利亚难民，以及这两个群体的日常互动。我们使用了麦克亚当斯的《人生故事访谈》的改编版，并在土耳其的背景下询问了有关叙利亚难民的问题。使用这种开放式的定性访谈技术使我们能够了解土耳其人和叙利亚人的日常互动方式，以及是什么塑造了土耳其人对难民的看法。我们根据能动性和圣餐主题进行了叙述分析。结果显示，参与者的年龄与共融呈负相关，而参与者的教育程度与能动性呈正相关。能动性和共融彼此呈正相关。叙述反映了土耳其公民对叙利亚难民大量涌入的一系列思考。
