Dini Tutum ve Damgalama Arasındaki İlişkide Müzik Beğenisinin Aracı Rolü

Abstract

Dini tutum (DT), bireysel davranışların şekillenmesinde rol alırken bazen damgalama gibi olumsuz durumlarla da ilişkilendirilebilir. Damgalamanın (DM) müzik zevki de dahil olmak üzere insan etkileşiminin çeşitli yönlerine nüfuz eden çok yönlü bir sosyal olgu olduğu bilinmektedir. Bu nedenle, bu araştırma şu soruyu ele almaktadır: "Bireylerin müzik zevki, DT ve sosyal DM arasındaki ilişkide nasıl bir rol oynamaktadır?" Bu ilişkisel tarama modelindeki araştırmada, DT ve DM arasındaki ilişkide müzik zevkinin aracılık (mediator) rolünü incelemek için yapısal eşitlik modeli ve Baron ve Kenny’nin aracılık analizi modeli kullanılmıştır. Kar topu örnekleme yöntemiyle ulaşılan ve yaşları 20 ile 55 arasında değişen 327 katılımcının yaş ortalaması x̅= 33,72’dir. Araştırmadaki verileri toplamak için Ok’un (2011) Dini Tutum Ölçeği, Yaman ve Güngör (2013) tarafından geliştirilen Damgalama Ölçeği ve Müzik Beğeni Formu kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen bulgularda DT ve DM arasında anlamlı bir korelasyon bulunmamıştır. Ancak yapısal eşitlik modelinde müzik beğenisinin dini tutumlar ve damgalama arasındaki ilişkide tam bir aracılık ettiği görülmüştür. Rock ve Klasik Batı Müziği beğenisi aracılığıyla DT ile DM arasındaki pozitif korelasyon daha güçlü ve anlamlı hale gelirken, hip-hop aracılık ettiğinde DT ve DM arasında negatif korrelasyon istatiksel olarak anlamlılık düzeyine ulaşmamıştır. Bulgular, farklı müzik türlerinin DT ve DM arasında psikolojik çerçevede aracı bir rol üstlendiğini ve damgalamanın ifade biçimini etkilediğini göstermektedir.

Mediating Role of Music Appreciation on the Relationship Between Religious Attitude and Stigma

Abstract

Religious attitude (RA) can play a crucial role in shaping individual behavior; these personal constructs can sometimes be associated with negative situations, such as stigma. Stigma (ST) is a multifaceted social phenomenon that permeates various facets of human interaction, including music appreciation (MA). Therefore, this research addresses the question: "How does individuals' MA mediate the relationship between RA and ST?" The relational survey design is used in this research. Structural equation model (SEM) and Baron & Kenny’s mediator model is used to examine the mediating role of MA in the relationship between RA and ST. Snowball sampling is used to collect 327 participants who are between 20 and 55 years old x̅ =33.72) Ok’s (2011) The Religious Attitude Scale (RAS), Yaman and Güngör’s (2013) The Stigma Scale (SS) and Music Appreciation Form are instruments for data collection. Results showed that musical appreciation played a full mediating role in the relationship between RA and ST, although RA and ST are not correlated at a significant level. A positive correlation between RA and ST became stronger and significant through Rock and Classical Western Music, while hip-hop turned it into a negative correlation between RA and ST but it is not statistically at significant level. The findings indicate that appreciation of different music genres serve as psychological mediators between spirituality and social prejudice and influence the way stigmatization is expressed.
