Abstract

Stereotype threat refers to a psychological experience that is associated with the fear of being evaluated by a negative stereotype about one’s social group/identity (religion, language, race, gender, political opinion, etc.). In this article, the qualitative research method is preferred and in-depth interviews are conducted with the participants to determine their emotional/behavioral responses to stereotype threat in the workplace. The results of the interviews revealed some strategies that employees employed against stereotype threats that are classified as; (a) Fending off the stereotype, (b) Discouraged by the stereotype, and (c) Resilient to the stereotype. It is also believed that this study will contribute to the national literature as it is the first study that has been conducted with a qualitative method on the stereotype threat and will shed further light on future research on this topic.

Özet

Basmakalıp yargı tehdidi, bir kişinin içinde bulunduğu sosyal grup/kimlik (din, dil, ırk, cinsiyet, politik görüş vb.) nedeniyle kendisine yönelik olarak geliştirilen önyargılardan haberdar olması ve bu durum sonucunda yaşadığı korku temelli psikolojik bir deneyim olarak ifade edilmektedir. Bu çalışmanın; kurumlarda çalışanların basmakalıp yargı tehdidine maruz kalmaları durumunda geliştirebilecekleri duygusal/davranışsal tepkileri tespit etmektir. Söz konusu tehdit algısının çalışanlar/örgütler üzerindeki olası etkilerini belirlemek amacıyla nitel araştırma yöntemi tercih edilmiş ve katılımcılarla derinlemesine mülakatlar gerçekleştirilmiştir. Yapılan görüşmeler sonucunda katılımcıların; (a) Basmakalıp Yargıyı Savuşturmaya Yönelik Tepkiler, (b) Basmakalıp Yargıyla İlgili Bezginlik Göstermeye Yönelik Tepkiler ve (c) Basmakalıp Yargıya Direnç Göstermeye Yönelik Tepkiler olarak adlandırılan tepki türlerini sergiledikleri ortaya çıkmıştır. Bu çalışmanın, çalışanların basmakalıp yargı tehdidine karşı geliştirdikleri tepkileri belirlemeye yönelik yapılan ilk nitel araştırma olması nedeniyle ulusal yazına katkıda bulunacağına ve konuyla ilgili gelecekte yapılacak araştırmalara zemin oluşturacağına inanılmaktadır.
