    ANALYZING RELIGION AND TRUST RELATIONSHIP FROM TURKISH PERSPECTIVE
    (Dinbilimleri Akad Arastirma Merkezi, 2021) Yilmaz, Murat
    This article investigates the relationship between religion and trust using the Turkish sample from the World Values Surveys (WVS). This study focuses on a majority Muslim nation that has been institutionally secular and democratic for more than 90 years. This study explores the longitudinal relationship between religion and trust from 2001 to 2012, a period of significant social transformation. Over this period, the effects of religion's covariates on trust outcomes are consistent. However, the findings explore mix supports to the existing literature. Namely, the effects of religious affiliation and behaviour vary on trust outcomes. This study also investigates possible correlations between trust components, and the results do not support the previous findings.

    Religiosity and Public Attitudes toward Abortion among Turkish Adults: From an Islamic Perspective
    (Sakarya Univ, 2020) Hatun, Dogan; Yilmaz, Murat
    For several decades, a handful of studies have examined the relationship between religion and abortion; they particularly pay attention to public attitudes. However, fewer quantitative studies have considered Muslims' attitudes toward abortion. This study explores a new religious and traditional perspective that comes from Islam and also enhances the existing literature on the topic of religion and abortion. The significance of this study is based on the fact that Turkey, as well as its importance of geographical location and cultural heritage in today's world, is one of two Muslim-populated countries in which performing abortion is legal. In order to measure the pulse of the public about this topic, we used data from the fourth wave of the European Value Study (2008). Our purpose is to display how religious factors influence people's attitudes toward practicing abortion in the cases, Women who are not married and A couple who does not want more children. The findings indicate that people who have a high level of religiosity are more likely to disapprove of the practice of abortion. This finding also can be a considerable indicator of public attitudes regarding abortion to contribute to probable changes in the abortion policy of Turkey.
