چکیده:
هدف پژوهش حاضر، بررسی عوامل موثر بر خشونت سیاسی با تاکید بر شکاف قومی در استان آذربایجان غربی میباشد. در پژوهش حاضرعمدتاازتئوریهای بارت، کورنل وهارتمن، ویمر، فنتون، برتون، اسملسر، آکلائف،، هابرماس، کاستلزاستفاده شده است. روش بررسی: پژوهش حاضر توصیفی از نوع پیمایشی بوده که به روش نمونهگیری خوشهای و به وسیله پرسشنامه محقق ساخته بر روی384 نفر از شهروندان استان آذربایجان غربی در سال1398 انجام گردید. به منظور آزمون فرضیه های پژوهش از ضریب همبستگی پیرسون، تحلیل واریانس ورگرسیون چندگانه همزمان از نرم افزار 24spss استفاده شد. پایایی پرسشنامه بر اساس آلفای کرونباخ (خشونت سیاسی 82/0، شکاف قومی 81/0، ضعف رعایت حقوق شهروندی 85/0، روابط قدرت قومیتی 76/0، تبعیض 89/0، الگوی رای دهی قومی 80/0، ضعف مدارای هویتی 71/0) و برای روایی از روایی سازه و تکنیک تحلیل عاملی استفاده شد. یافتهها: تحلیل دادههای این پیمایش نشان داد بین شکاف قومی و ابعادآن (انکارهویت قومی، فاصله قومی، مرزبندی قومیتی)، ضعف رعایت حقوق شهروندی، تبعیض، الگوی رای دهی قومی، روابط قدرت قومیتی و ضعف مدارای هویتی با خشونت سیاسی رابطه مستقیم و معنادار وجود دارد. گرایش به خشونت سیاسی در بین پاسخگویان بر اساس گروه سنی آنان متفاوت است. نتایج حاصل از رگرسیون همزمان و تحلیل مسیر نشان میدهد که متغیرهای الگوی رای دهی قومی، شکاف قومی، روابط قدرت قومیتی، ضعف رعایت حقوق شهروندی، تبعیض و در نهایت ضعف مدارای هویتی بر خشونت سیاسی تاثیردارد و به صورت واقعی و تعدیل یافته 1/29 درصد از واریانس خشونت سیاسی توسط متغیرهای مستقل تبیین و پیش بینی میشود.
Introduction:The purpose of the present study is to investigate the factors affecting political violence with emphasis on ethnic cleavage in West Azerbaijan province. Ethnic group relations are often associated with strife and tension in most societies. As long as group relations are normal in a society, there would be no problem for the social system. But when social groups, such as political groups and ethnic cultural interests, are attacked in terms of socio-economic interests, the social system becomes tense and social challenges, such as violence, arise in the society. Political violence means the use of force. It is a kind of inter-ethnic collective relation related to the realm of politics. Violence is a type of power that pursues a specific goal, and that is to define boundaries and prevent the exercise of another power. Aklaef (as cited in Salehi Amiri, 2009) believes that most of the violent ethnic conflicts are of a political nature and result from ethnic disputes over the position of groups in the political structure of such countries, as well as inter-group conflicts over the redistribution of power and the attainment of power. Frederick Barth believes that ethnic distinctions are the product of drawing and protecting borders, not the product of cultural differences that are obvious to the outside observer. Boundaries are always drawn in front of other people and are the basis for separating one group from another. Social boundaries are the opposite of objectified forms of social differences that are manifested in unequal access to resources (material and immaterial) and unequal distribution of social opportunities. Ethnic cleavages are social divisions and conflicts that go back to some manifestations of differences and structural incompatibility in a multi-ethnic society. This cleavage is widened by ethnic groups whose interests are in fundamental conflict with each other. This process leads to the acquisition of self-awareness and special values for individuals belonging to each of these branched ethnic groups. These values systematically shape the collective identity of these conflicting groups and produce a blueprint for social behaviors and actions for members of these groups, thus creating a framework for violence and social conflict. Materials and Methods:This research is a quantitative survey study. The main tool used in the data collection stage was a researcher-made questionnaire. The statistical population of the study consisted of citizens between the ages of 18 and 65 years in West Azerbaijan province with about 2116684 people. In the present study, the multi-stage cluster sampling method was used. For sampling, Cochran sampling formulas were used based on which 384 samples were selected for the study. After determining the sample size according to the geographical extent of West Azerbaijan province, Khoy (the majority of Turkish-speaking individuals) and Salmas (Turkish and Kurdish-speaking) were in the first cluster from the north of the province, Urmia (Turkish and Kurdish-speaking) from the provincial capital, and the cities of Naqadeh (Turkish and Kurdish-speaking) and Mahabad and Piranshahr (the majority of Kurdish-speaking) from the south of the province were selected. Then, based on the method of geographical division in five geographical regions of the cities, two regions were randomly selected. Sampling was done in which their citizens randomly answered the questions of the questionnaire. To test the research hypotheses, Pearson correlation coefficient, analysis of variance, and multiple regression were used simultaneously with SPSS version 24 software. The reliability of the questionnaire was based on Cronbach's alpha (political violence 0.82, ethnic cleavage 0.81, poor observance of civil rights 0.85, discrimination 0.89, ethnic voting pattern 0.80, and weak identity tolerance 0.71). To test the validity of the questionnaire, structural validity and factor analysis techniques were used. Discussion of Results and Conclusions:The results of factor analysis on 14 questions of ethnic cleavage led to the extraction of three factors (ethnic denial, ethnic distance, and ethnic demarcation), with a specific value higher than one. Together, these three factors accounted for 53.55% of the variance of the ethnic cleavage. Also, the average score of political violence was 2.77, which is moderate to low compared to the score range (1 to 5). The average rate of ethnic cleavage in the opinion of the respondents was 2.76, which is moderate to high compared to the score range (1.29 to 4.71).Analysis of the data from this survey showed that there was a direct and significant relationship between ethnic cleavage and its dimensions (ethnic denial, ethnic distance, and ethnic demarcation), poor observance of citizenship rights, discrimination, ethnic voting pattern, and poor identity tolerance with political violence. Simultaneous regression and path analysis showed that the variables of ethnic cleavage, ethnic voting pattern, weak observance of citizenship rights, discrimination, and the weakness of identity tolerance affected political violence and explained and predicted 28.3% of the variance of political violence.
