Abstract

In this study, prosocial behaviors including helping, altruistic behaviors, giving, forgiveness, thinking and prioritizing someone else, and the relationship between empathic tendency and religiosity were discussed. Correlation, regression and mediation analysis between prosociality, empathic tendency and religiosity were investigated in the study in accordance with this purpose. In this quantitative study, the Prosociality Scale developed by Ayten and Korkmaz, the Empathic Tendency Scale developed by Dökmen and the Individual Religiosity Scale developed by Zagumny et al. were used. Relational survey and documentation methods were used in the research. The sample of the study consists of 267 volunteers. 83 (31.1%) of the respondents are male, 184 (68.9%) are women. Age range varies between 17 and 60, the average age in the study is 25.61. According to the findings of the study, positive significant relationships were found between individual religiosity with prosociality, empathic tendency and religious practices. There were positive and significant relationships between prosociality with religious practices and empathic tendency. Individual religiousness predicted both prosociality and empathic tendency, while religious practices only predicted prosociality. Individual religiosity partially mediated the relationship between empathic tendency and prosociality.

Özet

Bu çalışmada yardım etme, diğerkâm davranışlar sergileme, fedakârlık yapma, bağışlama, başkasını düşünme ve öncelemeyi içeren prososyal davranışlar ve empatik eğilim ile dindarlık arasındaki ilişki ele alınmıştır. Araştırmada bu amaca uygun olarak prososyallik, empatik eğilim ve dindarlık arasındaki korelasyon, regresyon ve aracılık ilişkileri incelenmiştir. Nicel olarak gerçekleştirilen bu çalışmada Ayten ve Korkmaz tarafından geliştirilen Prososyallik Ölçeği, Dökmen tarafından geliştirilen Empatik Eğilim Ölçeği ve Zagumny ve diğerleri tarafından geliştirilen Bireysel Dindarlık Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Araştırmada dokümantasyon ve ilişkisel tarama metoduna başvurulmuştur. Çalışmanın örneklemi, gönüllü olarak katılım sağlayan 267 kişiden müteşekkildir. Ankete katılan bireylerin 83’ü (%31,1) erkek iken 184’ü (%68,9) kadındır. Yaş aralığı 17 ile 60 arasında değişirken, çalışmada yaş ortalaması 25,61’dir. Araştırmanın bulgularına göre bireysel dindarlık ile prososyallik, empatik eğilim ve dini ibadet arasında pozitif yönde anlamlı düzeyde ilişki tespit edilmiştir. Prososyallik ile dini ibadet ve empatik eğilim arasında da pozitif ve anlamlı ilişki olduğu görülmüştür. Bireysel dindarlık hem prososyalliği hem de empatik eğilimi yordarken, dini ibadet sadece prososyalliği yordamıştır. Empatik eğilimle prososyallik arasındaki ilişkide bireysel dindarlığın kısmî aracılık rolüne sahip olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
