Abstract

The present study investigated the effects of intermarriages versus intramarriages on intragroup and intergroup relationships in terms of evaluation, perceived similarity, social distance and social contact. For this purpose, data were collected from 200 members of the Ertushi and Pinyanishi Kurdish tribes living in Hakkari, Turkey who practiced intramarriage ( n = 108) or intermarriage ( n = 92). Results show that intermarried participants assessed both tribal identities not only positively but also similar to themselves, whereas intramarried participants assessed their tribe more positively and similar to themselves than the other tribe. Also, intermarried participants were significantly different from intramarried participants in terms of contact frequency with ingroup, contact frequency and quality with outgroup and social distance towards outgroup. These findings imply that social identity acquired through marriage affects one’s perception and attitude towards members of that identity positively, as well as reducing social distance and increasing contact frequency/quality with them.

库尔德部落中通婚与内婚对群体间关系的影响

本研究调查了通婚与不通婚在评价、感知相似性、社会距离和社会接触方面对群体内和群体间关系的影响。为此，研究人员收集了生活在土耳其哈卡里的 Ertushi 和 Pinyanishi 库尔德部落的 200 名成员的数据，这些成员有的实行内婚（108 人），有的实行通婚（92 人）。结果显示，通婚者对两个部落身份的评价不仅积极，而且与自己相似，而不通婚者对本部落的评价比另一部落更积极，与自己更相似。此外，在与同族接触的频率、与异族接触的频率和质量以及与异族的社会距离方面，通婚参与者与未婚参与者有显著差异。这些结果表明，通过婚姻获得的社会身份会积极影响一个人对该身份成员的看法和态度，同时也会减少与他们的社会距离，增加与他们接触的频率/质量。
