Abstract

It has seen that NRMs introducing themselves as “alternative family unities” have become
popular particularly among young people from 1970s, and the rate of conversion to NRMs has increased in recent
years, and consequently this movements, which separate young people from their families and friends by directing
young people in line with their notion, have affected negatively on family structures. In this paper, we will
emphasize on main factors that cause to the dismemberment of family structures, and the effects of conversion to
NRMs on families which are the most basic institutions of society. And so we will try to offer clues on what can be
done to prevent or minimize participation in NRMs and effects on the families of this

Yeni Dini Hareketlerin Aile Yapıları Üzerindeki Etkileri

Abstract

Kendilerini “alternatif aile birlikleri” olarak tanıtan YDH’lerin 1970’li yıllardan itibaren özellikle gençler arasında taban bularak yaygınlaştıkları, YDH’lere dönük din değiştirme oranında ciddi bir artış yaşandığı ve neticede gençleri kendi inanç ve düşünceleri doğrultusunda yönlendirmek suretiyle aile ve arkadaş çevrelerinden koparan bu hareketlerin aile yapıları üzerinde olumsuz etkiler yarattıkları görülmektedir. Bu makalede insanları, bilhassa da gençleri bu tür hareketlere yönelterek aile yapılarının dağılmasına yol açan temel faktörler ve YDH’lere katılma olaylarının toplumun en temel kurumu olan aile üzerindeki etkileri üzerinde durulmuş ve böylelikle YDH’lere katılım ve bu durumun aile üzerindeki olumsuz etkilerini ortadan kaldırma ya da azaltma noktasında neler yapılabileceğine dair ipuçları sunulmaya çalışılmıştır.
