Abstract

Zorlu yaşam olayları ve bireysel zorlanmalar karşısında bireyler birtakım başa çıkma yollarını kullanmayı denemektedir. Bu başa çıkma yollarından bir tanesi ise dini başa çıkmadır. Genellikle olumlu ve olumsuz dini başa çıkma şeklinde kullanıldığı görülmektedir. İlgili baş etme yöntemi başta din psikolojisi olmak üzere farklı disiplinlerde araştırma konusu olmaktadır. Bu çalışmada Yüksek Öğretim Kurulu Ulusal Tez Merkezi kapsamında dini başa çıkma konusunda yazılan tezlerin bibliyometrik analiz yöntemi ile incelenmektedir. Araştırmada dini başa çıkma konusunda yazılan lisansüstü tezlerin; üniversite türü, il-üniversite adı, yıl, tez türü, danışman unvanı, enstitü, anabilim dalı, konu, örneklem grubu, tezin yöntemi ve ilişki olan psikolojik değişkenler bağlamında bibliyometrik analiz gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bibliyometrik araştırmalar, yeni çalışmalara fikir sunma konusunda destek olmaktadır. Bu nedenle çalışma sonucunda tezlere yönelik elde edilen bilgiler doğrultusunda, dini başa çıkma konusuna yönelik geniş bir bakış açısı sunulmaktadır. Ayrıca psikolojik değişkenlerle ilişkinin ele alınması dini başa çıkma kavramının disiplinler arası bir bakış açısı ile değerlendirilmesine fırsat sunmaktadır. Bu açıdan çalışmanın dini başa çıkma konusunda çalışma yapmak isteyenlere çok boyutlu bir bakış açısı sunması beklenmektedir.

Abstract

Individuals often attempt to use various coping strategies when faced with challenging life events and personal difficulties. One of these coping strategies is religious coping, which is frequently used in both positive and negative ways. This particular coping method has been the subject of research in various disciplines, particularly in the field of psychology of religion. This study aims to examine the postgraduate theses written on religious coping within the scope of the Higher Education Council National Thesis Center through the bibliometric analysis method. The bibliometric analysis was conducted on postgraduate theses on religious coping in terms of university type, province-university name, year, thesis type, institute, department, topic, sample group, thesis methodology, and related psychological variables. Bibliometric research contributes to providing insights for future studies. Therefore, based on the information obtained from the theses, a comprehensive perspective on religious coping is presented. In addition, exploring the relationship with psychological variables allows for an interdisciplinary understanding of the concept of religious coping. Hence, this study is expected to provide a multidimensional approach for those interested in studying religious coping. In addition, research results emphasize that religious coping is an important strategy by revealing its effect on psychological variables.
