In Study 1, Turkish citizens living in Turkey provided their conceptions, definitions, and descriptions of Turkishness and these were coded for national identity content. Moreover, endorsement of ethno-cultural and civic markers of Turkish identity and the strength of national identification were measured. Stronger endorsement of both ethno-cultural and civic conceptions was associated with less inclusive attitudes towards ethno-cultural groups in Turkey and increased prejudice against Kurds. Strength of national identification was the strongest predictor and moderated some of these relationships; stronger identification was associated with more exclusionary attitudes especially for those who strongly endorsed ethno-cultural identity markers. In Study 2, the strength of ethno-cultural and civic markers of national identity was systematically manipulated in a scenario describing a Turkish citizen. The target who displayed stronger civic and stronger ethno-cultural markers was evaluated more favourably and as more Turkish in general. Once again, the strength of an individual's national identification moderated these relationships; stronger identification predicted less comfort with, less attractiveness, and less favourable evaluations of the target with weak ethno-cultural markers. Results are discussed in terms of the construction and meaning of the Turkish national identity. Implications for policies regarding national in-group boundaries and future research are discussed. %@ 9780494459898
