dc.description.abstractPolitical Psychology emerged as a discipline that examines political phenomena from a psychological perspective and produced various concepts and theories about nationalism. Thus, it shows that Turkish nationalism can be examined from the perspective of Political Psychology. At the same time, there are debates and different approaches around explaining the nationalism in the literature of nationalism. In this context, the purpose of this study is to evaluate Turkish nationalism through theories of Political Psychology within the frame of an ethno-symbolist approach. To that end, theories about the group formation and images have been cited from primary and secondary sources. Thoughts of Ziya Gokalp, who took an important place in Turkish political thought in terms of nationalism have been evaluated with social identity and image theories from an ethno-symbolist approach. In this evaluation two of the works, Turkification, Islamisation, Modernisation (Turklesmek, Islamlasmak, Muasirlasmak) and the Principles of Turkism (Turkculugun Esaslari) in which the notion of nationalism came to the fore have been assessed by using a discourse analysis method. At the end of the work it will show that from a Political Psychology perspective, Gokalp's conceptualisation of Turkish nationalism indicates a social identity on an ethnical basis and corresponds to an inner-group which has a high in-group solidarity and out-group discrimination, which is nationalistic in attitude and develops exemplary (ornek), rogue and excluded (dislanmis) images against the outer-groups.
