Abstract

Islamophobia across the western world appears to be on the rise yet very little is known about it. This review systematically examines qualitative literature to gain an in-depth understanding of Muslim minorities’ experiences of ‘Islamophobia’, and how it may impact upon their psychosocial wellbeing. 180 initial studies were identified across six databases; PsycINFO, ASSIA, Humanities Abstracts (EBSCO), IBSS, CINAHL and MEDLINE, 9 of which met the inclusion and quality criteria. The studies included were analysed using Thematic Synthesis and four key themes were identified; ‘Construction of The Other’, ‘Stigmatisation of Appearance and Attire’, ‘Homogeneity of Identity and Experience’ and ‘Concealing and Normalising Behaviour’. The findings of this review are consistent with previous literature and highlight the difficulties Muslims experience as victims of ‘Islamophobia’. In conclusion, the implications for psychological research and practice are discussed.

西方穆斯林少数民族对伊斯兰恐惧症的体验:系统回顾

西方世界的伊斯兰恐惧症似乎在上升，但人们对此知之甚少。这篇综述系统地研究了定性文献，以深入了解穆斯林少数民族的“伊斯兰恐惧症”经历，以及它如何影响他们的心理健康。在六个数据库中确定了180项初步研究；PsycINFO、ASSIA、人文摘要（EBSCO）、IBSS、CINAHL和MEDLINE，其中9项符合纳入和质量标准。使用专题综合法对纳入的研究进行了分析，并确定了四个关键主题“他者的建构”、“外表和态度的污名化”、“身份和经验的同质化”以及“隐藏和规范行为”。这篇综述的发现与以前的文献一致，并强调了穆斯林作为“伊斯兰恐惧症”受害者所经历的困难。最后，讨论了对心理学研究和实践的启示。

期刊介绍： Culture & Psychology addresses the centrality of culture necessary for a basic understanding of the psychology of human beings: their identity, social conduct, intra- and intersubjective experiences, emotions and semiotic creativity. By drawing on diverse theoretical backgrounds, the editorial aim is to provide an international and interdisciplinary forum for scholarly investigations and discussions that will advance our basic knowledge of the self in its historical and cultural contexts. The orientation of the journal is towards formulating new conceptualizations of culture in psychology, together with theoretically relevant empirical investigations.
