Abstract

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the new Corona virus disease (COVID-19) to be a pandemic. Globally, the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic has not only impacted rigorously economically but also has affected the public health socially. Especially, the issues on minority groups became more and more evident. Within this background and based on the available literature, this work aims to investigate how COVID-19 effects perceptions, attitudes and behaviors towards minority groups. Ethnic groups like Asians, Black people, and other minorities were targeted. The selected papers (n= 66), involving a variety of research approaches and methodologies, explored how COVID-19 might have increased the sense of threat, stigmatization and discriminatory attitudes. Moreover, the outcomes have been summarized on the connections between Behavioral immune system (BIS) and COVID-19 pandemic, and on the role of social media and political ideology.
