The aim of the current study to describe representations about Syrian refugees of two major ethnic groups -Turks and Kurds- in the context of the Social Identity Approach and Realistic Conflict Theory. In addition, we aimed to examine the relationship between the participants' ingroup identification and their representations about Syrian refugees and to describe the difference between their representations in the context of being an advantaged or disadvantaged group in Turkey. We measured the ingroup identification of 34 participants, 16 of whom were women, with an average age of 39. We verbatim transcripted the semi-structured interview records, which lasted approximately 28 minutes, and revealed that 7 representations (Economic Burden and Financial Threat Syrian, Cultural Pollutant Syrian, Societal Destructive Syrian, İmmigrant Syrian, Syrian who Fled from Own Homeland, Beggar and Homeless Syrian, Syrian with Many Children) were emphasized in the answers of at least half of the participants. We found that participants' ingroup identification predicted the power of their "cultural pollutant Syrian representation", but no prediction for their "economic burden and financial threat Syrian representation". Moreover, according to the coding of the first rater, there was no difference between the Kurds and Turks in terms of the power of Syrian refugees to be represented as an economic threat, whereas according to the coding of the second rater, Turkish participants (advantaged group members) had more financial threat representation than Kurdish participants. In terms of the power of Syrian refugees to be represented as cultural pollutants between the Kurds and Turks, there was no difference according to the coding of both judges. Findings were discussed within the scope of the related literature.
