Abstract

Dini faaliyetleri devamlı olarak yerine getirme ve yaş arasında önemli
bir ilişki vardır. Bireyler, yaşları ilerledikçe hayatlarında dini faaliyetlere
daha çok yer vermektedirler. Genç bireyler, yaşlarının vermiş olduğu duygularla
kendilerini ölüme daha uzak hissetmekte ve dini faaliyetleri devamlı olarak
yerine getirmeyi ileri yaşlardaki bir tarihe bırakmaktadırlar. Bu çalışma,
insanların dini faaliyetleri sürekli yerine getirme ile yaş arasındaki ilişkiyi
irdelemeyi hedeflemektedir. Bu çerçevede, bireylerin dini faaliyetlerini
devamlı olarak yerine getirip, getirmemeleri yaş faktörü göz önünde
bulundurularak değerlendirilmiştir. Çalışmanın sonunda, bireylerin yaşlarının
ilerlemesinin kendilerini ölüme daha yakın hissetmelerine neden olduğuna ve bu
durumunda bireyleri dini faaliyetleri sürekli yerine getirerek daha dindar bir
şekilde yaşamaya sevk ettiği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

THE IMPACTS OF THE AGE FACTOR ON RELIGIOSITY

Abstract

There
is an important relationship between continuously fulfilling religious
activities and age. Individuals involve religious activities more in their
lives as they get older. Younger individuals feel more distant from death due
to the feelings caused by their young age and chose to continuously fulfill
their religious activities later. This study aims to examine the relationship
between continuously fulfilling religious activities and age. In this context,
the study evaluates whether or not individuals continuously fulfill their
religious activities on the basis of the age factor. As a result of the study,
it has been determined that advance age causes individuals to feel closer to
death and consequently live a more religious life by continuously fulfilling
religious activities.
