İstanbul/Başakşehir'daki göçmen ergenler arasında grup içi ve grup dışı dinamikler ile psikolojik sağlığı incelemesi

Social identity is a very important concept for humans, especially those in the age of forming identities. Including the theory of social identity, out-group prejudice and in-group favoritism can be serious problems for those in the years of adolescents who are immigrants. It is important that we understand the processes and the coping mechanisms of the youngsters due to the importance of social identity and the sensitivity of their age. Issues of identity development might affect mental health and social integration. We aim to investigate the lived experiences of Başakşehir's immigrant teenagers. The emphasis will mainly be on how they improve their psychological health and cultural integration.. We want to know how they manage social exclusion (if there is) and form their social identities. The research employs a qualitative methodology, gathering comprehensive viewpoints from immigrant adolescents via in-depth interviews. It includes adolescent immigrants, ages 18 and above. Particularly those from Central Asia and the Arab world, who reside in Başakşehir, Istanbul and did during their teenage years during the time of formation of social identity. We hope to shed light on how social identities are created, how individuals respond to exclusion and discrimination, and how these factors impact teens' social integration and mental health. This study can be a base for future research in the field of immigration psychology. It can also be of an assistance to creating more effective strategies for promoting psychological resilience and social cohesiveness among young migrants by filling in information gaps about the experiences of adolescent immigrants in Turkey.
