摘要
In this study, the relationships between the sense of humor and different appearences of religiosity among university students is examined. The study designed as a survey method consisted of a total of 577 participants selected by simple random method. Questionnaire on socio-demographic variables, The Multidimensional Sense of Humor Scale, Intrinsic Religious Motivation Scale and Religious Dogmatism Scale were used to collect the data of the study. In addition, through a 10-point likert type questions, participants were asked to evaluate themselves about the importance of religion in their personal life, their self-humor and self-religiosity. Data were analyzed by using independent groups t-test, Pearson Moment correlation analysis and multiple linear regression analysis. According to the results, there are negative, significant and low-level correlations between the sense of humor and different appearences of religiosity (religious dogmatism, intrinsic religious motivation and importance of religion in personal life). No relation was found between the sense of humor and perception self-religiosity. These four variables explained the 4% of the total variance in sense of humor. As the t-test results related to the significance of regression coefficients were investigated, it was found that the variable of religious dogmatism was a significant predictor for the sense of humor while intrinsic religious motivation, importance of religion in personal life and perception self-religiosity were not detected. According to this, it was concluded that only religious dogmatism, among the variability of religiosity, has a low effect on predicting humor. The findings were discussed in the context of the relevant literature.
