Abstract

The fact that young voters have long-term voting potential, embrace democratic values and continue to shape their worldviews offers political parties/politicians the opportunity to articulate them to their political base. Knowing the factors affecting the voting preferences of young voters can affect the policies to be produced by politicians. In this context, it is important to determine how immigrant-oriented hate speech affects the voting behavior of young voters. This study aims to reveal how immigrant-oriented hate speech affects the voting preferences of young voters without ignoring other factors that influence their political decision-making processes. In doing so, in-depth interviews were conducted with 32 young voters. Qualitative content analysis technique was used. As a result, first of all, social media, family and peers were identified as factors affecting young voters' perceptions of migrants. On the other hand, migrant-oriented hate speech is based on security concerns, economic losses and the negative impact on the demographic structure. It has been concluded that some of the young voters are critical of hate speech. It was also concluded that some young voters are critical of hate speech. Young people feel fear, anxiety, anger, frustration and empathy towards migrants. Finally, it has been observed that there are young voters who embrace hate speech as well as young voters who consider hate speech against human rights.

Özet

Genç seçmenlerin uzun süreli oy kullanma potansiyeline sahip olması, demokratik değerlere sahip çıkması ve dünya görüşlerinin şekillenme süreçlerinin devam etmesi siyasal partilere/politikacılara onları kendi siyasal tabanına eklemlendirmek için fırsat sunmaktadır. Genç seçmenlerin oy verme tercihini etkileyen faktörlerin bilinmesi politikacıların üreteceği siyasaları etkileyebilir. Bu bağlamda göçmen odaklı nefret söyleminin genç seçmenlerin oy verme davranışlarını ne yönde etkilendiğinin belirlenmesi önem kazanmaktadır. Bu çalışma genç seçmenlerin siyasal karar alma süreçlerinde etkili olan diğer unsurları göz ardı etmeden göçmen odaklı nefret söyleminin oy tercihlerini ne yönde etkilediğini ortaya koymayı amaçlamaktadır. Bunu yaparken 32 genç seçmenle derinlemesine görüşmeler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Nitel içerik analiz tekniği kullanılmıştır. Sonuç olarak, öncelikle sosyal medya, aile ve akranlar genç seçmenlerin göçmenlere yönelik algılarını etkileyen unsurlar olarak belirlenmiştir. Diğer yandan göçmen odaklı nefret söyleminin temelinde güvenlik kaygıları, ekonomik kayıplar ve demografik yapının olumsuz etkilenmesi yer almaktadır. Genç seçmenlerin bir kısmının nefret söylemine karşı eleştirel yaklaştığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Gençler, göçmenlere karşı korku, kaygı, öfke, hayal kırıklığı ve empati gibi duygular beslemektedir. Son olarak nefret söylemini benimseyen genç seçmenler olduğu gibi nefret söylemini insan haklarına aykırı değerlendiren gençler olduğu da görülmüştür. Ulaşılan sonuçlarının ilgili literatüre teorik katkısının yanı sıra aslen göçmen odaklı nefret söyleminin gençlerin siyasal tercihlerine etkisinin partilere/politikacılara politikalarını üretirken pratik katkı sunması beklenmektedir.
