Summary/Abstract: The Conflict Model of Migration bases the origin of mobility on conflict and the perception of human insecurity. Migrants' perceptions of insecurity, conflicts in the origin country, limitations, risks or inadequacies arise and have the potential to cause mobility. These perceptions may be caused by conflicts, limitations, risks or insufficiencies in the country of origin and have the potential to cause mobility. These areas of tension and insecurity may extend from the individual scale to the global scale. While migrating from areas of relative insecurity to areas of relative security, migrants may carry their psychological and social insecurities, and, as a result, they may feel insecure in the destination country. In this context, related social studies for migrants gain importance in areas of potential insecurity in the destination country. Positive psychology focuses on the positive aspects of individuals. The dimensions of positive psychological capital are referred to as an individual’s capacity for confidence, hope, optimism, and resilience. These dimensions serve to enhance one's adaptation and performance in their workplace and daily life. Social Capital is defined as having, and participating in, social networks. It has a binding role in the societal whole, and one of its main components is trust. Confidence in both capital types, which develop in different ways, may reduce the perception of insecurity felt in areas of tension. Social support groups aim to reduce the perception of insecurity that may be experienced during and after the migration process.
