Abstract

Objectives: This study aims to analyse the way immigrants and their personality traits get affected by traumatic events in the post-migration process.

Methods: This descriptive study was conducted through Google Forms with the involvement of 2,509 immigrants. A descriptive questionnaire, the "IFOMA Post-Migration Post-Traumatic Effect Scale" and the "GADOT Personality Types Determination Scale" were used to collect the research data. Independent samples t-test, one-way ANOVA, and related sample Friedman's two-way analysis tests were used in data analysis.

Results: Immigrants were exposed to significant effects in all sub-dimensions of the Post-Migration Post-Traumatic Effect Scale. Experiencing post-traumatic stress was found to be significantly related to the research parameters, which, respectively, are gender, age, marital status, educational background, legal status, years of living in the current country, employment status, ethnicity, Turkish language proficiency, and post-migration psychological problems (p < 0.05); 42.8% of the immigrants had the Type 9 personality, and all personality types were affected by the Psychological Affection, Physical Affection, Anxiety, and Social Adaptation sub-dimensions, respectively (p < 0.05).

Conclusion: By analysing the impact of migration-induced trauma on immigrants within their society, it can be recommended to implement initiatives specific to immigrants' personality traits and to carry out protective/preventive projects that will minimize immigrants' exposure to trauma and encourage their participation in social adaptation processes.

移民后创伤事件对移民及其人格特征的影响分析。

目的：本研究旨在分析移民及其人格特征在移民后过程中受到创伤事件的影响。方法：这项描述性研究是通过谷歌表格进行的，涉及2509名移民。采用描述性问卷、“IFOMA迁移后创伤后影响量表”和“GADOT人格类型测定量表”收集研究数据。数据分析采用独立样本t检验、单因素方差分析和相关样本弗里德曼双向分析检验。结果：移民在迁移后创伤后影响量表的所有子维度上都受到了显著影响。研究发现，经历创伤后应激与研究参数显著相关，这些参数分别为性别、年龄、婚姻状况、教育背景、法律地位、在当前国家的生活年限、就业状况、种族、土耳其语水平和移民后心理问题（p<0.05）；42.8%的移民具有9型人格，所有人格类型分别受到心理情感、身体情感、焦虑和社会适应子维度的影响（p<0.05），可以建议实施针对移民个性特征的举措，并开展保护/预防项目，最大限度地减少移民遭受创伤的风险，鼓励他们参与社会适应过程。
