Üniversite Öğrencilerinde Sürekli Kaygı, Dindarlık ve Saldırganlık Eğilimleri Arasındaki İlişkiler

Abstract

The aim of this study is to investigate the relationships and interactions between religiosity, trait anxiety, and aggression. In addition, whether religiosity, trait anxiety and aggression differ by gender is discussed. A total of 415 volunteer students from different grades and departments participated in the study in 2017-2018. Data were collected by random sampling method. The Münchner Motivational Religiosity Inventory developed by Hellmeister and Zwingmann and translated into Turkish by Apaydın (2010), Buss-Perry Aggression Scale (BPSÖ) and Trait Anxiety Scale-16 (STAI FORM TX-2) were used. T-test and regression analyses were conducted. While the general profile of the sample in terms of religiosity and aggression was taken, it was found that the level of religiousness of the participants was high and the aggression scale was above the scale average from verbal aggression and skeptical-intellectual hostility subscales, whereas it was found that the aggressive tendencies were lower in the other subscales. Women differed from men in the relationship of religiosity with God. While males obtained higher mean scores on the unhappy and dissatisfaction subscale of the trait anxiety scale, women received a higher average than fatigue and avoidance subscale. Gender differences were also observed in the subscales of aggression. Men have higher averages than women in terms of physical aggression, emotional hostility, and anger. Continuous anxiety, emotional-cognitive hostility, emotional-reactive anger and skepticism and hostility dimensions of aggression; the dimension of religiosity with God predicts other dimensions other than skeptical and intellectual hostility. However, religiosity, religious belief, and welfare subscale explain the emotional-reactive anger dimension of aggression.

Examining the Relationship between the Fear of COVID-19, Resilience and Religion

“…When the level of religiosity is examined, it is seen that men are more religious. In some of the studies conducted in our country, women (Ayten, 2012;Baynal, 2015;Coştu, 2011;Çetin, 2010;Kalgı, 2020;Kımter & Köftegül, 2017;Öztürk, 2017;Uysal, 2015;Uysal & Turan, 2019;Yapıcı, 2013) some of them find that men (Kandemir, 2020;Turan, 2017;Yapıcı, 2006;Yıldız, 2014) are more religious, while in some studies there is no significant difference (Kızılgeçit, 2011;Korkmaz, 2018;Uysal, 2016;Yıldız-Türker, 2018) is seen. In meta-analysis studies about religiosity, different results were encountered, such as that there is no significant difference in religiosity according to gender (Yapıcı, 2012), differentiation is not strong (Yapıcı, 2016), and women are more religious (Korkmaz, 2020).…”
