Abstract :
The current study aims to examine the
relationship between prejudice and self-esteem among
Yemeni university students in Turkey. The differences
on prejudice and self-esteem were also examined by
gender, age, city of living, scholarship and academic
specialization. The current study was conducted with
308 Yemeni university students studying in nine
different Turkish cities. The prejudice scale and
Rosenberg self-esteem scale were used to collect the
data of study. Results have found that prejudice was
negatively correlated with self-esteem. Prejudice is a
major factor and has sub-factors, all of which are
closely related. Moreover, it was found that there were
significant differences on prejudice attributed to
gender, age and scholarship, while the other variables
did not show any differences on prejudice. There are
also significant differences on self-esteem by gender and
department of students, but the rest of the variables did
not show significant differences on self-esteem. The
findings of the study were discussed with the relevant
literature.
