“…Apart from the word race not being used in the Swedish vocabulary, there is also largely a lack of accepted hyphenated identities (e.g., Asian‐American), which may increase the feelings of marginalization and otherness (Scuzzarello & Carlson, 2018; Svensson & Syed, 2019). Moreover, there has been a visible increase in the normalization of prejudice and racism throughout the country (Hellström & Nilsson, 2010; Iakimova, 2018; Schierup, Ålund, & Neergaard, 2018). Within this current context of Swedish migration, we need to further our understanding of how discrimination is related to psychosocial well‐being among young people from diverse backgrounds.…”

Experiences of discrimination and links to well‐being have been examined extensively, but several gaps remain. The current study addresses four of those gaps by (1) examining both aggregated and source‐specific forms of discrimination, (2) comparing the experiences of minority and majority group members, (3) expanding the range of outcomes to include socially and developmentally appropriate measures, and (4) conducting the study in Sweden, a context in which discrimination and well‐being are not well understood. The sample consisted of 573 adolescents and emerging adults (71% women, Mage = 19.21 years) who completed survey measures of discrimination and psychosocial well‐being (self‐esteem, life satisfaction, school adjustment, and identity distress). Findings indicated that minority groups reported more frequent discrimination, and more often cited ethnicity as the source of discrimination, whereas majority groups most often cited gender. Experiencing discrimination was related to poorer psychosocial well‐being similarly for all groups. Youth experiencing ethnic discrimination were more often subjected to multiple forms of discrimination compared with those subjected to other forms of discrimination. Taken together, this study brings important information on the complexity of discrimination among youth in the multicultural context of migration in Sweden.

“…Entre ellos, y a nuestro interés: "homosexuales" e "inmigrantes/ Trabajadores extranjeros". Estudios previos han mostrado la relevancia y la validez de utilizar este tipo de aproximación como proxis para medir tanto la homofobia y tolerancia con gais y lesbianas (Takàcs y Szalma, 2013) como la xenofobia y el racismo (Helbling, 2010;Iakimova, 2018). Aunque son diversos los trabajos que señalan que, en algunos países, se han recogido mejores indicadores en encuestas específicas (Rinken, 2015;Prada, Pereda y Actis, 2005) sus limitaciones en cuanto a la comparabilidad internacional y/o 2 El WVS es una red global de científicos/as sociales que estudian los valores cambiantes y su impacto en la vida social y política, dirigido por un equipo internacional de académicos/as.…”

El término homonacionalismo ofrece una nueva aproximación a la relación entre racismo y tolerancia con gais y lesbianas en sociedades contemporáneas. Este trabajo presenta un estudio comparativo sobre la extensión y evolución de valores homonacionalistas en Argentina, España, Países Bajos y Uruguay entre 1989-1993 y 2010-2014 siendo uno de los pocos trabajos cuantitativos en los estudios sobre homonacionalismo. Mediante el análisis de las oleadas de la World Value Survey para los distintos países, se operativiza el concepto para evidenciar la irrupción de los valores homonacionalistas en Europa a partir de 2001; así como su extensión a otras regiones propicias para la construcción de un excepcionalismo sexual. Los resultados si bien constatan su fuerte presencia en los discursos contradicen la hegemonía homonacionalista en los valores de las sociedades.

“…Bireysel düzeyde zenofobi kendinden farklı olanlara karşı yoğun korkuyu içerirken; kamusal düzeyde göçmenler gibi belirli insan grubundan hoşlanmama veya nefret etme şeklinde tezahür etmektedir. Kamusal düzeyde zenofobi çoğu zaman mantıklı açıklamalarla gerekçelendirilmektedir (Lakimova, 2018). Bu tartışmalar altında Campbell ve McCantless (1951) zenofobiyi "yabancılara yönelik önyargı ve tutum" olarak tanımlarken Reynolds, Falger ve Vine (1987: 28) "yabancı olduğu düşünülen kişilere yönelik mantıksız, sebepsiz korku ve nefretin psikolojik hali (durum)" olarak kavramlaştırmaktadır.…”

“…Bireysel düzeyde yabancılar üzerinde psikolojik baskı yaratarak ruhsal iyiliği düşürmekte (Jasinskaja-Lahti, Liebkind ve Perhoniemi,2006) hatta intiharlara neden olabilmektedir (Hovey, 2000). Toplumsal düzeyde yerel halk ve yabancılar arasında psikolojik uyumu azaltarak, kültürel çatışma ve karmaşaya yol açmakta, suç oranlarını artırmakta, potansiyel yatırımcıları korkutarak ülkeye döviz girdisini engellemekte ve ülkenin dışarıdaki imajını kötü yönde sarsmaktadır (Kurman, Eshel ve Sbeit, 2005;Lakimova, 2018;Yakushko, 2009).…”

The phenomenon of migration, as old as the history of mankind, has transformed into transnational and mass migration in the 21th century. As a result, negative attitudes towards migrants and asylum seekers have significantly increased in the world in the last century. One of these negative attitudes is "xenophobia", a term defined as fear of and hostility towards foreigners. Xenophobia has rapidly increased in Turkey, in particular after the syrian mass migration movement starting from 2011 Syrian internal war. Although xenophobic attitude can be observed in allage groups, it might be more common among the youth who are more likely to encounter Syrians in different social areas due to their active social life. With this assumption, this research aims to examine the impact of sociodemographic variables (gender, occupation, educationa lstatus, marital status, income level, parental education level, political opinion) on the youth's xenophobic attitudes towards Syrians. In the selection of the sample conveniance sampling technique was used. 384 young people aged between 15-32 years participated in the study. A personal information form and a "XenophobiaScale" developed by Van Der Veer, Ommundsen, Yakushko & Higler (2011) and adapted into Turkish by Özmete, Yıldırım and Duru (2018) were utilized in the study. The predictive power of independent variables was calculated by binary logistic regression analysis. According to the findings, 189 of the participants (50.8%) were female, and 195 were male (49.2%), and the average mean of their age was 23 (sd. ± 3,31). The participants generally have negative attitudes towards foreigners. Marital status and the level of education predicted the xenophobia level positively. Singles have more negative attitudes towards Syrians than married ones. Similarly, high school graduates are more xenophobic than primary school graduates. On the other hand, income level predicts xenophobia negatively. Lower income groups are more xenophobic towards Syrians than higher income groups.
