Özet

This study explores the links between multiculturality attitudes displayed by high school students and their ethnic identity, religious beliefs, self-identification, and place of residence. The study is based on questionnaires from 2823 students in 17 cities in seven geographical regions across Turkey. A five-dimension Multiculturality Attitude test was used, which consists of 21 items and was developed by the authors. The data were analyzed with the non-parametric tests Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney-U. According to the results, there are statistically significant differences across all categories of the scale.
