    Living Between Belief and Consumption: Religiosity, Hedonism, and Life Satisfaction Among Turkish Youth
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2025) Gungordu Belbag, Aybegum; Erbil, Cihat
    This study examines the relationships among religiosity, materialistic hedonism, control, discomfort, and life satisfaction among 256 young individuals in Turkey. Structural equation modeling shows that religiosity does not curb materialistic hedonism and positively affects control. Life satisfaction is positively influenced by control and materialistic hedonism, and negatively by discomfort. Turkish youth form hybrid identities and practices that integrate both faith and consumer desires. A few studies examine contexts like Turkey, where secularism and religiosity coexist, and religious beliefs fulfill broader social and economic functions. The co-existence of religious beliefs and consumerism -especially among middle and lower class youth- remains underexplored.

    The Effect of Religiosity on Political Ideology Via Value Types and Personality Traits: a Comparison Between Turkey and Usa
    (Elsevier Science Bv, 2010) Dirilen-Gumus, Ozlem; Department of Psychology
    In this study, the relationships between religiosity, values, personality and political ideology were investigated across two different cultures: Turkish and American. Participants completed Portrait Values Questionnaire, Big Five Inventory, Religiosity Scale and Political Ideology Scale together with some demographics. Based on the findings, it was concluded that, religiosity influences political ideology indirectly (also directly) via their influence on value structure in both individualist and collectivist cultures, then this value structure inarguably creates a propensity toward endorsing certain political ideologies. The findings were discussed in the light of relevant literature and possible impacts on psychological functioning of individuals. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
