DİN VE GÜVEN İLİŞKİSİNİN TÜRKİYE PERSPEKTİFİNDEN İNCELENMESİ

Abstract

Bu çalışma Dünya Değerler Araştırmaları’ndan (WVS) alınan Türkiye örneğini kullanarak din ve güven arasındaki ilişkiyi araştırmaktadır. Bu konuda çoğunluğu Batı'da yapılmış olan araştırmaların aksine 90 yıldan uzun süredir kurumsal olarak laik ve demokratik olmasına karşın çoğunluğunu Müslümanların oluşturduğu bir ülkeye odaklanmaktadır. Türkiye açısından önemli bir sosyal dönüşüm dönemi olan 2001'den 2012'ye kadar din ve güven arasındaki uzun vadeli ilişkinin araştırıldığı bu makalede, dinin ortak değişkenlerinin güven sonuçları üzerindeki etkilerinin tutarlı olduğu gözlemlenmiştir. Bununla birlikte, her ne kadar bulgular mevcut literatürü desteklemiş olsa da bazı farklılıklar arz etmektedir. Bir başka deyişle, dini bağlılığı ve davranışları içeren değişkenlerin etkileri, güven değişkenlerine bağlı olarak farklılaşmaktadır. Ayrıca güven değişkenleri arasındaki olası korelasyonlar ortaya koyulmuş ve elde edilen bulgular Batı’da yapılmış olan çalışmalardaki teorik ve ampirik izahat ve sonuçları desteklememektedir.

ANALYZING RELIGION AND TRUST RELATIONSHIP FROM TURKISH PERSPECTIVE

Abstract

This article investigates the relationship between religion and trust using the Turkish sample from the World Values Surveys (WVS). This study focuses on a majority Muslim nation that has been institutionally secular and democratic for more than 90 years. This study explores the longitudinal relationship between religion and trust from 2001 to 2012, a period of significant social transformation. Over this period, the effects of religion’s covariates on trust outcomes are consistent. However, the findings explore mix supports to the existing literature. Namely, the effects of religious affiliation and behaviour vary on trust outcomes. This study also investigates possible correlations between trust components, and the results do not support the previous findings.
