Özet:

An inventory to assess attitudes of the host (local) society towards Syrian migrants in Turkey was developed. 314 participants over the age of 18 were recruited in this study. First of all, an item pool was created by giving emphasis on related scales or theories like Social Distance Scale, intergroup bias theories or by depending on our observations about attitudes of host community towards Syrian in many domains, such as living together, opinions about migration policies,  problems between locals and migrants and so on...  At the end of the content analysis, there were 48 items in total in the scale. Intergroup Bias Scale and Intergroup Contact Conditions Scale were used to measure the criterion validity of our scale. After factor analysis, 25 items remained with three factors. These three factors explained 53% of the total variance. Cronbach alpha reliability coefficient was found as .73. Upper/Lower 27% of Group Reliability was also applied and it was found that items had a good discrimination.
