DİNİ YÖNELİM VE BAŞA ÇIKMA

Bu çalışmanın amacı dini yönelim ve başa çıkma ilişkisini demografik değişkenler ve mesleki deneyim bağlamında incelemektir. 167 din hizmetleri çalışanı (imam, vaiz, müezzin, Kur'an kursu öğreticisi...) ile kişisel bilgi formu (yaş, cinsiyet, eğitim, mesleki deneyim), dini yönelim ve başa çıkma tarzlarını ölçen ölçekler kullanılarak Spss 22.'de T-Testi, Tek yönlü (One way) Anova ve pearson korelasyon analizi uygulanmış %5 anlamlılık düzeyinde değerlendirilmiştir. Çalışmaya 65'i kadın 112'si erkek toplam 167 kişi katılmıştır. Katılımcıların içsel dini yönelim biçimine ait puan en yüksek iken sorgulayıcı dini yönelim biçimine ait puanları en düşük bulunmuştur. Başa çıkma stratejilerinden alınan puanlar ise sırasıyla planlı davranış, büyüme olgunlaşma, duygu kontrolü, kabullenme, yardım arayışı, gizleme saklama ve en düşük puan alınan kadercilik şeklindedir. Fundamental dini yönelim ile planlı davranış, büyüme olgunlaşma, kabullenme, duygu kontrolü, yardım arayışı, kadercilik başa çıkma tarzı ile içsel ve dışsal dini yönelim arasında olumlu yönde anlamlı ilişki bulunmuştur. İçsel dini yönelim ile kabullenme, duygu kontrolü, kadercilik, yardım arayışı, gizleme saklama, fundamental ve dışsal dini yönelim ile olumlu yönde anlamlı ilişki bulunmuştur. Ayrıca kadın katılımcıların daha fazla içsel dini yönelimi erkek katılımcıların ise daha fazla dışsal dini yönelimi tercih ettikleri tespit edilmiştir. Dışsal dini yönelim ile başa çıkma stratejilerinden sadece kadercilik, dini yönelim tarzlarından ise fundamental ve içsel dini yönelim ile ilişkili olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Sorgulayıcı dini yönelim ise sadece dışsal dini yönelim ile ilşkili bulunmuştur. Çalışmada mesleki deneyimin de katılımcılar için önemli bir değişken olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Mesleki deneyimi en fazla olan katılımcıların daha dışsal dini yönelim, daha az duygu kontrolü, daha az planlı davranış ve daha fazla yardım ve destek arayışı tercih ettikleri tespit edilmiştir.

RELIGIOUS ORIENTATION AND COPING

The aim of this study is to analyze the relationship between religious orientation and coping in terms of demographic variables and job experience. 167 clergymen (Imam, preacher, müezzin, Quran instructor, etc.) participated in the study. The researcher carried out the analysis by using a personal information form (age, gender, education and work experience) and scales that measured the religious orientation and coping styles of the participants. T-test, One-way Anova and Pearson’s correlation analysis in SPSS 22 were implemented and the level of significance was found to be 5%. 167 people, 65 of whom were female and 112 of whom were male, participated in the study. While the score of intrinsic religious orientation of the participants was found to be the highest, the score of quest religious orientation was the lowest. Scores obtained from coping strategies are planned behavior, growth/maturation, emotional control, acceptance, seeking help, avoidance/denial, and fatalism, the lowest score, respectively.Fundamental religious orientation positively correlated with such coping styles as planned behavior, growth/maturation, acceptance, emotional control, seeking help, fatalism and intrinsic and extrinsic religious orientation. There was a significant positive correlation with intrinsic religious orientation, emotional control, fatalism, seeking help, avoidance/denial, fundamental and extrinsic religious orientation. It was also found that female participants preferred more intrinsic religious orientation while male participants preferred more external religious orientation. It was found out that extrinsic religious orientation has a relationship only with fatalism as a coping style, and fundamental and intrinsic religious orientation as a religious orientation style. Quest religious orientation was found to have a relationship only with extrinsic religious orientation. Job experience was also found to be an important variable for participants in this study. Participants with the most job experience were found to prefer more extrinsic religious orientation, less emotional control, less planned behavior, and more help and support seeking.
