Abstract
Aim: The study aimed to investigate the relationship between interpersonal contact and social integration among Turkish refugees in Finland.
Method: An online questionnaire was completed by 60 Turkish immigrants in Finland. One- way ANOVA and correlations were used. Qualitative analysis was used to examine the reasons for the refugees’ migration.
Results: No correlation was found between positive interpersonal contact with Finns and social integration. Meanwhile, positive interpersonal contact with Turks demonstrated a weak correlation with social integration. Qualitative analysis results indicated political factors as the primary motivation for migration.
Conclusions: Overall, the results of the study did not align with existing literature. Further research is needed and to employ more robust measurements to investigate this complex relationship.
