THE PERCEPTION OF DISCRIMINATION IN TURKEY 3.B.2. Justified Discrimination Attitudes of people towards different types of discrimination show variety as much as their perceptions. Between question 2 and 7, our questionnaire seeks to understand whether some discriminatory practices tolerated or not. The questions are about various spheres of life: looking for a job, waiting for a promotion in the workplace, renting a house, receiving education, receiving health care, seeking justice in the courthouse, reporting someone to the police, filing a bank loan, and so on. The individuals answered eight areas that discrimination based on different reasons as; (1) I find it wrong in all circumstances, (2) I do not see it very wrong depending on the circumstances. The answers to these questions are essential because although people are in principle against discrimination, they can approve discriminatory attitudes and practices in concrete situations. For example, in one of the focus group discussions, a participant persistently disagrees with discriminatory attitudes towards Syrians, claiming Syrians are very hardworking people, wavered with the intervention of another participant saying “well, do you rent a house to Syrian, you rent it for four people, they become 18 people”. Here we would like to compare two profiles: the ones opposing all forms of discrimination everywhere without exception and the ones can tolerate all forms of discrimination according to the circumstances. Thus, we wanted to identify the ruptures in how discrimination is experienced at the social level. To this purpose, we have established a discriminatory attitude score to measure how many areas of life a participant can tolerate a specific type of discrimination. For example, if a person can tolerate gender-based discrimination in work, school and health careaccording to circumstances- but does not tolerate gender-based discrimination in other areas, his/her/their attitude score on gender-based discrimination is 3.
