THE PERCEPTION OF DISCRIMINATION IN TURKEY scale of 1 to 10 can be observed in Graph 1. It shows us that people who believe that discrimination is very common in Turkey is quite high. This group constitutes 16.4 per cent of the total sample. If we add the ones marking 9, we can say that a group of 23.1 per-cent thinks that discrimination is pervasive in Turkey. In the same context, it is possible to constitute the second group of people with the same perception level from those who score the prevalence of discrimination less than 5 and think that discrimination is below the middle. Those who think that discrimination is not common or less common constitute 30.3 per-cent. The largest group in Turkey is the ones thinking that discrimination is prevalent in part. 46.8 per-cent of the interlocutors make a prevalence assessment of 5 to 8 points, saying that they believe that discrimination is partly prevalent. The interesting data here is that those who mark the highest score (10 points) as the most common level of discrimination constitute the peak value (mode) of the data set. The median value is 6 and the average value is 6.12, with a peak of 10, indicating that a group that thinks discrimination is very common differs from the rest of the country in this regard. 14
