“…The majority of recent studies on tolerance are based on a comparative methodology, which makes it possible not only to compare different religious groups but also to consider tolerance and the level of religious discrimination between the titular nation and national minorities (Aminnuddin, 2020;Hoffman, 2020;Muda et al, 2018). An empirical investigation of religious diversity practices in Malaysian private and public sectors, published in the International Journal of Scientific and Management Research, should be highlighted among the publications based on the analysis of empirical studies (Salleh et al, 2021).…”

The research aims to study the features of tolerance/intolerance as an indicator of people's dispositions of radicalism in a poly-ethnic and poly-confessional society. The study was conducted in Kazakhstan, which can be an interesting example of a multi-ethnic and poly-religious society; a similar experience of the risk of radicalism among young people in a multicultural society is now shared by many countries of the world and most urbanized communities. To conduct applied research, methodological tools were created. The study was conducted online using the Google Forms platform. It involved 100 Almaty university students (43% of males and 57% of females) of various specialties in their 1-4 years of study. The study shows very high violent extremism indicators: the cult of power, the permissibility of aggression, conventional coercion, and conformity. It was found that there are gender differences in terms of violent extremism dispositions and tolerance: females are characterized by tolerance, social tolerance, and tolerance as a personality trait (p≤0.05), while interpersonal tolerance is characteristic of males (p≤0.05). The affective and conative tolerance components are more developed in females (р≤0.05), and the activity style and value orientation components are more often found in males (р≤0.05). Integrative tolerance corresponds to the average level: 87% have an average level, 11% have a low level, and 2% have a high level.

“…The religious understanding among the youth is improving through courses in religious and moral studies from school to university, especially on the need to be tolerant and understand other ethnic groups. According to Muda et al (2018), youth show a positive attitude towards strengthening ethnic unity due to the values of religious tolerance they have learned. Although it is not specified in religious principles, religion has traditionally been seen as an "associate" in promoting ethnic tolerance (Zulkefli et al, 2018).…”

“…Religion was measured using a 10-item scale based on the works of Husin et al (2020), Green and Toft (2018), Muda et al (2018) and Nur Farhana and Khadijah (2013). Items include, for example, “All religions teach respect for various ethnicities,” “Different religious understandings could avoid ethnic conflicts,” “I feel comfortable to eat together with my non-fellow ethnic friends” and “I always respect followers of other religions.” The reliability testing is 0.940 for this variable and it is valid because the value is more than 0.7 (Hair et al, 2017).…”

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The objectives of this study are to quantitatively analyse the influence of education, economy and religious domains on enhancing ethnic unity among youth in Malaysia with reference to university students. It involved a survey of 373 students from two Malaysian public universities, namely Universiti Malaya and the National Defence University of Malaysia. The obtained data are subjected to descriptive analysis as well as structural equation modelling (SEM) analysis. The results show all these three domains are significant in strengthening ethnic unity, and the findings of this study could contribute to the current efforts by the government in the areas of the educational system, economic policies, and religious tolerance so that a more effective approach could be introduced.
