The unbearable lightness" of freedom among religious, atheist and authoritarians
(İbn Haldun Üniversitesi, 2019) Ok, Üzeyir; Ok, Üzeyir; İnsan ve Toplum Bilimleri Fakültesi, Psikoloji Bölümü
This is a revised version of the presentation done in Bari (see above) In this 6th wave of study on HR. the aim of the present correlational study is to determine the connections of different types of religiosity (traditionally religious. non-religious, anti-religious) with civil-political rights and the role of authoritarianism. The data were gathered from 246 university students. For the sake of comparison, the universities included a top university, a theology faculty and an average university, all ranked according to accepted university entrance points. Data. which were be gathered were analyzed mainly using the tests of correlations and multiple regression. and t-test. Results showed that whilst religiosity negatively related to rights of Privacy, freedom of Speech, protection from torture, right of protest, freedom from death penalty, and refugee rights, it positively correlated with freedom of religion. In contrast, just the opposite was true for atheists and deconverted people. Furthermore, it was revealed that right-wing authoritarianism played a major role in explaining the connections between religiosity and civil rights.
Connections of marital satisfaction with mental health symptoms, personality and religion among Muslims
(Islamic Museum of Australia, 2018) Ok, Üzeyir; Ok, Üzeyir; İnsan ve Toplum Bilimleri Fakültesi, Psikoloji Bölümü
Marital Satisfaction (MS) directly relates to the quality of life. Understanding factors that affect MS can help building healthy relationships. MS is affected by a number of factors including cost attribution, synchrony among physiological systems, personality traits, mate value, communication pattern, social support, violence, spousal mate guarding, spousal susceptibility to infidelity and attachment styles (Bradbury, Fincham, & Beach, 2000). Despite the fact that the couples’ conditions of mental health (such as personality disorder, ADHD and daily anxiety) are closely linked to their MS (Whisman, Uebelacker, & Weinstock, 2004), their role on MS is rarely studied particularly in Muslim populations (South, 2014). Studying the cumulative effects of mental health symptoms altogether, and their interactions, at one time could be an advantage compared to examining one or two variables in a single study. The aim o the study is to determine the associations between mental health symptoms and the quality of MS among Muslims checking the roles several demographic variables such as gender, age, religiosity among others. Using a cross-sectional design, data were collected non-randomly (using snow-ball and convenience sampling method) from 231 Turkish married individuals (age range18-65). Marriage satisfaction was measured with ENRICH Marital Satisfaction Scale (Fowers and Olson, 1993). The mental health symptoms were measured using the tools of (a) the scales of DSM-5 Self-Rated Level 1 Cross-Cutting Symptom Measure—Adult and (b) The Personality Inventory for DSM-5—Brief Form (PID-5-BF)—Adult (American Psychiatric Association (2007). The tools covered a wide range of symptoms mentioned below. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics, correlations, and multiple linear regressions. To the results, MS was negatively and moderately (p ranges between < 05 to < .001) affected by the symptoms of depression, anxiety, somatoform disease, (anti-social) personality, anger, suicide ideation, sleep disturbance, dissociation, memory problem, disinhibition, psychoticism, negative affect, detachment and antagonism. It revealed no or very low correlations with mani, psychosis, and OCD. However, considered all together, as hierarchical regression analysis showed, it is particularly depression (p = .006), suicide ideation (p = .037) and, though slightly, antagonism (p = .067) that have obvious impacts on MS among other symptoms which, altogether, explained %18 of the MS. It is concluded the symptoms of most mental health disorders have low to moderate connections with MS. However, taken all together, only three out of these variables, i.e., depression, suicidal ideation and antagonism, explained the variability in the MS.
Roles of fundamentalism and authoritarianism in relations between religiosity and civil liberties among Muslims
(John Wiley and Sons Inc, 2022) Ok, Üzeyir; İnsan ve Toplum Bilimleri Fakültesi, Psikoloji Bölümü; İnsan ve Toplum Bilimleri Fakültesi, Psikoloji Bölümü
Two cross-sectional studies were conducted with undergraduate and graduate students (mean age = 22 years) in two university campuses in different regions of Turkey to investigate confrontations between conservative religious people and secular-liberal people and the roles of fundamentalism and authoritarianism for these groups. Study 1 investigated the connections between traditional religiosity and liberties and the impact of religious fundamentalism with a sample of 482 participants. Using hierarchical multiple linear regression and bootstrapping analysis, religiosity was seen as negatively connected to three components of liberties. It was shown that religious fundamentalism had an indirect effect on this connection. In Study 2, with a sample of 260 participants, the negative connection between traditional religiosity with liberties was confirmed. Further, it was found that particularly the conservatism dimension of right-wing authoritarianism played an explanatory role in this connection. In addition, as an extension of the two studies, it was observed that secular-liberal participants supported civil liberties in general, but they expressed opposition to freedom of religion in particular, indicating that the antagonism between religious and secular people may also stem from secular-liberal people. It was found that dimension of aggression of left-wing authoritarianism played an explanatory role in connection to this aspect.
The impact of religion on human rights among adolescents
(University of Wurzburg, 2018) Ok, Üzeyir; Ok, Üzeyir; İnsan ve Toplum Bilimleri Fakültesi, Psikoloji Bölümü
In this 6th wave of study on HR. the aim of the present correlational study is to determine the connections of different types of religiosity (traditionally religious. non-religious, anti-religious) with civil-political rights and the role of mental health variables as defined within positive psychology including happiness social loneliness parental coherence, optimism for future and sense of empathy The data were gathered from 246 university students. For the sake of comparison, the universities included a top university, a theology faculty and an average university, all ranked according to accepted university entrance points. Data. which were be gathered were analyzed mainly using the tests of correlations and multiple regression. and t-test. Results showed that whilst religiosity negatively related to rights of Privacy, freedom of Speech, protection from torture, right of protest, freedom from death penalty, and refugee rights, it positively correlated with freedom of religion. In contrast, just the opposite was true for atheists and deconverted people. Furthermore, it was revealed that right-wing authoritarianism played a major role in explaining the connections between religiosity and civil rights. Amongst the positive psychology variables the parental coherence in which one was brought up and optimism in particular played a role in explaining the relations.
The effects of COVID-19 on wellbeing and resilience among Muslims in Turkey
(Routledge, 2024) Ok, Üzeyir; Gören, Ayşe Burcu; Bayer, Nükhet; Ok, Üzeyir; İnsan ve Toplum Bilimleri Fakültesi, Psikoloji Bölümü
This cross-sectional exploratory study surveys the general perceived adverse effects of COVID-19 on people’s wellbeing (including obsessive-compulsive disorder symptoms (OCDS)) and the level of resilience shown against it, with specific reference to the role of religiosity and optimism. Data were collected in an online survey from 247 non-randomly selected participants in Turkey, aged 12–64. The questionnaire included a demographic form, a battery of COVID-19 scales, the Brief Obsessive-Compulsive Scale, a short-form Optimism Scale, and the Ok-Religious Attitude Scale. The results indicate that COVID-19 significantly and negatively influenced several aspects of people’s lives, including finance, mood, life perspective, physical health, spirituality, and state of mental health. Furthermore, resilience, family solidarity, religiosity, and optimism played a positive role in overcoming the negative effects. Nonetheless, women, less religious people, pessimists, and anxiety-prone individuals, including people with OCDS symptoms, reported that they felt less resilient against the perceived adverse effects of COVID-19.
State-religion separation among Muslims in Turkey: Theory and empirical findings
(Springer, 2023) Ok, Üzeyir; Ok, Üzeyir; İnsan ve Toplum Bilimleri Fakültesi, Psikoloji Bölümü
Ideological coherence and harmony among members of a multi-cultural and pluralist society are fundamental for individuals to feel at peace. However, West-based secular ideologies and lifestyles have often contradicted with traditional religion, which led to tensions and conflicts. In modern times, it is expected that states take not only a neutral position concerning religions, ideologies, worldviews and lifestyles but also support and protect such freedoms. The aim of this study is to examine the definition of state-religion separation and evaluate its inconsistencies in current applications in light of this definition within Turkey. It is observed that the perception that Islam is traditional but not open practically, theologically and empirically contradicts the state-religion separation and other civil liberties. There are psychological bases for some Muslims to be biased regarding state-religion separation. This paper shows that the misuse of laïcité, a version of state-religion separation, polarises society and may result in fundamentalist or populist reactions to religion or the secular system. The study ends with recommendations regarding how to approach the state-religion separation.
Mystical orientation and psychological health: a study among university students in Turkey
(Routledge, 2017) Ok, Üzeyir; Francis, Leslie J.; Robbins, Mandy; Ok, Üzeyir; İnsan ve Toplum Bilimleri Fakültesi, Psikoloji Bölümü
This study examines the association between mystical experience, as captured by the Francis–Louden Mystical Orientation Scale, and psychological health, as captured by the Eysenckian threedimensional model of personality, among 329 students attending a state university in Turkey. The data reported no significant association between mystical orientation and psychoticism scores, and a small but significant positive association between mystical orientation and neuroticism scores, after controlling for sex differences. This finding suggests that there may be a small inverse association between mystical experience and psychological health among students in Turkey.
Individual self-deceptions and responsibility of Muslims
(İbn Haldun Üniversitesi, 2017) Ok, Üzeyir; Ok, Üzeyir; İnsan ve Toplum Bilimleri Fakültesi, Psikoloji Bölümü
If we keep the deceptions that occur as a result of mental disorders or chemical therapies exceptional, we can be deceived in three ways: one can harm oneself intentionally as in the case of suicide, or masochism, and drug abuse, and unintentionally as in the cases that I elaborate below. One, unintentionally, can be deceived (a) by himself/herself, (b) through the mediation of the community that one belongs, and last but not least, (c) by perpetrators’ intentional destructive wills. Unintentional self-deception may occur through the Freudian unconscious mechanisms, inner conflicts or their defensive mechanisms.
Need for cognitive certainty
(İbn Haldun Üniversitesi, 2017) Ok, Üzeyir; Ok, Üzeyir; İnsan ve Toplum Bilimleri Fakültesi, Psikoloji Bölümü
There are a number of “needs” for human cognition in social psychology. These include need for cognition, need for closure and need for certainty. Need for cognition refers to one’s interests for long rhetorical discussions with people around. For instance, a young theologian would be willing to discuss in an argumentative way on the matter of pre-destiny (qadar) for hours. Need for closure represents one’s inclination to put a clear cognitive boundary between what are familiar, known, committed and believed and what are not. Such inclination does not allow any leak from “outside” into “inside”.
How to deal with religious trauma and struggles?
(İbn Haldun Üniversitesi, 2018) Ok, Üzeyir; Ok, Üzeyir; İnsan ve Toplum Bilimleri Fakültesi, Psikoloji Bölümü
The theme of my PhD thesis was on cognitive conflict (coined as “religious stress”) experienced by Muslim theology students in their thinking about religion. What I meant by religious conflict covered a bunch of interrelated words including doubt, questioning, confusion, uncertainty, anxiety, even loss of faith. In the end, I assumed that nearly 10% of theology students and over 15% of public people have been experiencing at one point in their life such a set of feelings at a highly intensive level which were creating intellectual discomfort and loss of energy in their lives.
