Forced migrants face many problems during the forced migration process. At the forefront of these problems is the negative impact of the forced migration process on their social functionality. The aim of this study is to investigate the factors contributing to the social functionality of Syrian youth under temporary protection status in Turkey. The sample of the study consisted of 326 young Syrian forced migrants aged 18 to 29 who are under temporary protection status in Turkey and was conducted in Istanbul, Sakarya, and Izmir. The study was carried out with the quantitative method and snowball sampling. The obtained data were evaluated by correlation, mediator and moderator analysis methods. According to the data obtained in the study, Perceived social support and satisfaction with life have a significant effect on social functionality. Satisfaction with life has a full mediating effect on the effect of perceived social support on social functionality. In other words, as a Syrian youth's perceived social support grows, so does their social functionality, and satisfaction with life has a full mediating positive effect on this relationship. Planning activity, which is an active coping strategy, has a positive moderating effect on the connection between perceived social support and social functionality, according to this model. In this context, social work practice with a multidimensional community is recommended.

Xenophobia can be defined as negative prejudice towards strangers. It can also be defined as the hatred of foreigners. Psychological resilience is an independent source of resistance and a personality-based tendency to mitigate and overcome the effects of a stressful life. Psychological resilience has three dimensions; commitment, control, and challenge. A review of xenophobia, in terms of psychological resilience, has not been examined yet. This study examines the xenophobic opinions and attitudes of Turkish citizens living in Istanbul against more than 4 million immigrants with various legal status in Turkey in terms of psychological resilience. As a result of the study, it was observed that psychological resilience did not function as resistance against xenophobia. This result is obtained since two of the three factors representing psychological resilience strengthen the xenophobia.
