Declarations
:
: The authors declare that they have no conflict of interest. However, the first paper of the project includes Maarten Vendrik as one of the authors, since his contribution with his methodological expertise was very crucial for the paper. We would like to inform you that, as a potential referee candidate, his selection could lead a bias effect.
: The field survey of the project “Life Satisfaction of Turkish Immigrants in the Netherlands” applied in Rotterdam Consulate of Turkish Republic. The hosting institution was Maastricht University, in the Netherlands. The necessary permissions and the ethic guidelines were provided to the Foreign Ministry of Turkish Republic. The survey questions first sent to the ministry and Ankara, and then they are approved in regard to ethics and international relations concerns. Following, the questions and the application procedure of the survey were approved by the Rotterdam consulate as well. During the surveys, all participants were informed about the anonymity and confidentiality of records and respondents. We provided the statement that participation is voluntary, refusal to participate will involve no penalty, and the subject may discontinue participation at any time without penalty. We provided our contact information both the universities (Maastricht, Istanbul and Marmara). Following their positive decision to take the question, we (the authors of the paper) applied the face-to-face survey at the waiting room in the consulate. We did not store any personal information of the respondents of the survey. The original surveys are stored at the Department of Economics at Marmara University in a good condition.
: All procedures performed in studies involving human participants were in accordance with the ethical standards of the institutional (Marmara University and Istanbul University) research committee. Additional information provided below.
