  • Prioritizing Identities: Cross Categorization of Ethnicity and Religious Sects in Turkey Identities: Ethnicity and/or Religion
    Journal of Arts and Humanities, 2015
    Co-Authors: Göklem Tekdemir Yurtdaş, Ferzan Curun
    Abstract:

    This study aims to investigate how different ethnic groups (Turkish/Kurdish) and Religious Sects (Alevi/Sunni) are perceived in Turkey. These groups have a long history of conflicts. In order to examine the perception of these conflicting group identities, we adopted the theoretical frameworks of simple and cross categorization developed by the Social Identity Theory and the Category Differentiation Model. Both theories converge on the idea of in-group favoritism in the case of simple categorization while they offer different explanations for cross categorization condition. In order to test these differing theoretical propositions, we asked our participants to evaluate simple and cross categorization conditions based on variables of ethnicity and sect.  Our sample consisted of 106 individuals from two ethnic groups (Kurdish/Turkish) and two Religious Sects (Alevi/Sunni). The participants completed a questionnaire based on Zavalloni’s focused introspection technique. Within subjects repeated measures ANOVA analysis were carried out for both simple and cross categorization. The results of the analysis revealed that the participants emphasized in-group similarities and out-group differences both for ethnicity and Religious sect in the simple categorization condition. Moreover, in-group similarities based on Religious Sects rather than ethnicity were prioritized in the cross categorization condition. The results confirmed the Social Identity Theory’s assumptions generally. Results were discussed in terms of relevant literature, and in relation to historical and political issues regarding ethnicity and Sects in Turkey.

  • Faith struggles in science: Academic schools as Religious Sects
    Rationality and Society, 2021
    Co-Authors: Florian Follert, Frank Daumann
    Abstract:

    Particularly in the social sciences, scientific debates can be understood as a special expression of academic discourse and ideally support the progress of knowledge within a discipline. Very often, there are competing academic schools with greatly differing theoretical foundations, like we have seen, for example, in social sciences especially by the “Methodenstreit” in economics, or the “Positivismusstreit” in Sociology. This paper aims to introduce a new approach to study academic schools and would like to contribute to the literature on the economics of science. To this end, the paper uses the economic theory of religion in general and the economics of Sects in particular by transferring the approach to academic schools for the first time. Our results can help to extend the understanding of scientifical decision-making and to explain the membership to an academic school. Although, the model is presented in relationship to social sciences in general and economics in particular, the basic model of academic schools is generally transferable.
