Özet:

This article provides the results of the study that studies the ethnic and religious identity perceptions of the first and second generations of Turkish immigrants living in France, in the framework of the two-dimensional ethnic identity model (Berry 1980) of the theory of cultural harmony. Although the question of the conformity and identity of the immigrants living in France to the French society is a subject of important studies in general sociological and linguistic terms, the identity/religion relationship has not yet been addressed. For this purpose, the findings from the first generation 86, the second generation 180, the survey of a total of 266 participants and compared with previous studies on the Turks living in the Western European countries, demonstrate that the ethnic and religious perceptions of the French Turks are based on their own culture, and that identity with the identity of the origin or judge group is important for the generations. Factor analysis shows that the perception of religious identity among the second generation Turkish immigrants is strong, and that there are differences between the symbolic definitions and religious practices between the first generation.
