The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between marital adjustment, spiritual well-being, and locus of control in married couples. A total of 526 married individuals living in İzmir, Turkey, 283 (53.8%) women and 243 (46.2%) men between the ages of 18 and 65, participated in the research. The married individuals were evaluated individually rather than as couples. The of control scale (LCS) developed by Dağ, the marital adjustment test (MAT) developed by Locke and Wallace and adapted into Turkish by Tutarel Kışlak, the spiritual well-being scale (SWBS) developed by Ekşi and Kardaş, and a socio-demographic information form were applied to the participants. SPSS 22.0 was used for statistical analysis of the data obtained in the study. The findings were evaluated at a 5% significance level within a 95% confidence interval (p < 0.05). The findings of the study revealed that the marital adjustment of male participants was higher than that of females, and that as spiritual well-being increased, marital adjustment also increased. A positive relationship was found between transcendence, one of the sub-dimensions of spiritual well-being, and marital adjustment and internal locus of control. Similarly, a positive correlation was identified between harmony with nature and marital adjustment and internal locus of control, while a negative relationship was found between anomie and marital adjustment and internal locus of control. Moreover, negative and significant relationships were found between marital adjustment and external locus of control determinants such as belief in luck, meaninglessness of making an effort, belief in an unjust world, and anomie, one of the sub-dimensions of spiritual well-being. Additionally, a positive relationship was found between higher education and internal locus of control, and a positive relationship between marriages conducted between the ages of 17 and 20 and an external locus of control.

This article examines the conceptions of divine revelation held by two prominent figures in Islamic thought, Ibn Sīnā and Al-Ghazālī, through a comparative lens within the context of metaphysical and epistemological processes. Ibn Sīnā views divine revelation as a metaphysical process occurring at the highest level of intellect. According to him, divine revelation is an abstract reflection of divine knowledge transmitted to the prophet’s imaginative faculty through the Active Intellect. This process, explained within a philosophical framework, is grounded in the development of human intellectual capacity. In contrast, Ghazālī defines divine revelation as a mystical experience and considers it a divine encounter beyond the limits of human reason. For Ghazālī, divine revelation manifests as an expression of God’s attribute of speech and occurs solely by divine will. Moreover, this experience cannot be fully comprehended by reason. Ghazālī’s approach, imbued with Sufi depth, regards divine revelation as an integral part of spiritual growth. This article explores the fundamental similarities and differences between these two thinkers’ understandings of divine revelation and metaphysics. By analyzing how Ibn Sīnā’s reason-based approach intersects and diverges from Ghazālī’s intuition and inspiration-based Sufi approach, this study provides an in-depth examination of how the concept of divine revelation has been shaped within Islamic theology and philosophy, highlighting the contributions of both thinkers to the discourse on divine revelation.

Kuşak kavramı toplumun aynı zaman diliminde meydana getirdiği akran grubu olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Kuşak ayrımı konusunda yapılan çalışmalar, Z kuşağını 1995 ve sonrası doğanlar olarak belirlemektedir. Bilinçli farkındalık burada ve şimdi olana yargısız şekilde dikkatini vermek ve deneyimi olduğu gibi kabul etmektir. Yaşamın anlamı ise bireyin varoluşunun anlamı ve bir anlama yönelik arayışı olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Mâneviyat, bireyin yaşamı boyunca kutsalıanlamanın ve kutsal ile ilişki kurmanın yeni yollarını keşfettiği ruhsal bir arayış sürecidir. Teknoloji nesli olan Z kuşağında pek çok olumlu psikolojik değişken ile ilişki olan yaşamda anlam bilinçli farkındalık ve mânevî kaynaklar arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesi araştırmanın amacını oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmanın katılımcıları Akdeniz Üniversitesinde öğrenim gören bireylerden tesadüfi yöntemle seçilen 500 öğrencidir. Araştırmada bilinçli farkındalık düzeyini ölçmek üzere Brown ve Ryan tarafından geliştirilen, Özyeşil, Arslan, Kesici ve Deniz tarafından Türkçeye uyarlanan Bilinçli Farkındalık Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Yaşamın anlamı değişkeni için ise Steger ve arkadaşları tarafından geliştirilen, Yarar tarafından Türkçeye uyarlanan Yaşamın Anlamı Ölçeği tercih edilmiştir. Son olarak mânevî kaynaklar değişkeni için Westbrook ve arkadaşları tarafından geliştirilen, Ekşi ve arkadaşları tarafından Türkçeye uyarlanan Mânevî Kaynaklar Ölçeğinden yararlanılmıştır. Verilerin istatistiksel analizi SPSS 26 ile yapılmıştır. Araştırma bulgularına göre bilinçli farkındalık, yaşamın anlamı ve mânevî kaynaklar arasında pozitif yönde anlamlı ilişki bulunmuştur.

The aim of this study is to investigate the correlation between the fear of COVID-19, social media addiction, and sources of spirituality among university students. A total of 626 university students, 355 (56.7%) being female and 271 (43.3%) male, participated in the study. The Bergen Social Media Addiction Scale (BSMAS), which was developed by Andreassen and his colleagues and adapted into Turkish by Demirci, the Fear of COVID-19 Scale (FCV-19S) which was developed by Ahorsu and his colleagues and adapted into Turkish by Bakioğlu and his colleagues, and the Trait Sources of Spirituality Scale (TSSS), which was developed by Westbrook and his colleagues and adapted into Turkish by Ekşi and his colleagues, along with a socio-demographic information form, were used in the study. The data were collected using a web-based survey system. SPSS 20.0 statistics program was used for the statistical analysis of the data obtained from the scales. Of parametric tests, independent sample t-test and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used. The relationship between dependent and independent variables was tested using Pearson correlation. The findings of the research revealed that the fear of COVID-19 among university students differs based on gender and the increase in the daily use of social media platforms during the COVID-19. The sources of spirituality of university students were also found to differ based on age, gender, and social media use. Additionally, a moderately positive and significant correlation was found between university students' social media addiction and their fear of COVID-19, as well as a weakly positive and significant relationship with their humanitarian spirituality.

The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between the psychological needs of athletes who attend gyms, the spirituality index of well-being, and motivation in sports, and to determine the mediating role of the spirituality index of well-being between psychological needs in sports and motivation in sports. Although sports spirituality is rapidly developing in the international literature, sports and spirituality have not been studied together in the national literature before. Therefore, this study holds the distinction of being one of the pioneering research efforts on the subject of spirituality in athletes in Türkiye. In this context, the data of 422 athletes, 176 women and 246 men, who have been attending gym facilities in Antalya for at least one year, were included in the research. Participants were administered a personal information form, Psychological Need States. It was found that the spirituality index of well-being is positively related to all satisfaction subscales and negatively related to all frustration subscales of psychological needs and that the life scheme is related to many subscales of sport motivation. Furthermore, it was also found that the spirituality index of well-being is a mediating variable between psychological needs in sports and motivation in sports. The data draw attention to the importance of sports spirituality. It is recommended to integrate spirituality into healthcare for athletes.

The most common domestic violence is spousal violence against women in Turkey. Although spousal violence may seem to be concerning two people in an intimate relationship, it is actually considered as one of the problems that goes beyond the family and affects the peace of the society. Spiritual well-being discusses the relationship between the meaning of life, the pleasure or satisfaction one receives from this life, and the values that can be called spiritual. In this respect, it is a type of well-being and includes both spirituality and well-being. Studies show that religious commitment prevents spousal violences; spirituality and religious commitment reduce violence against married women and increase marital satisfaction. This study aims to examine the relationship between married individuals' attitudes towards violence and their spiritual well-being scores. The research was carried out with married participants living in Muratpaşa, Antalya. Married participants did not participate in the study as couples, but as individuals. 269 (56.8%) participants were female and 205 (43.2%) were male, and thus, the data of 474 participants were studied in the research. Intimate Violence Responsibility Scale (IVRS) and Spiritual Well-Being Scale forms and socio-demographic information form were applied to the participants. SPSS 22.0 was used for the statistical analysis of the data obtained from the scales while descriptive statistics T-Test and Anova-Tukey were performed during the evaluation phase. It was determined that the data set showed a normal distribution and parametric tests were used The relationship between dependent and independent variables was tested with Pearson correlation. When the sub-dimensions of attitude towards violence and spiritual well-being are examined in terms of gender variable, the sub-dimension of violence was significantly higher in women while control and abuse sub-dimensions were significantly higher in men. It is observed that gender does not differ between the sub-scores of spiritual well-being. This situation can be evaluated as the factors that create spiritual feelings do not create differences between genders in society as a supra-gender phenomenon. When the sub-dimensions of attitudes towards violence of the participants and their spouses are compared in terms of the age variable, it is seen that the control attitude towards violence of the older age (66 years and over) participants is lower than the younger participants. According to the findings related to education, it was found that those who graduated from high school had significantly less control and abuse mean scores than other education levels. In addition, no significant relationship was found between the education level of high school students and the violence sub-dimension. According to the study, those with a low level of education exhibit more verbal violence than those with a higher education level. It is expected that violence will decrease with the increase in the level of education, but the reason for the contradictory data in the literature may be related to the quality of education. Carrying out new studies on this issue may be useful. According to the research findings, while there was a significant negative relationship between the sub-dimensions of transcendence and violence and the sub-dimensions of control and abuse, a positive relationship was found between harmony with nature, violence, control and abuse. It has been found that spiritual well-being (transcendence) increased, and the scores of attitude towards violence decreased. In this sense, it is suggested that spiritual education programs will be influential in changing the attitudes towards violence. It is suggested that it would be beneficial to include spiritual education in education programs.
