    An Atheist Perspective on Self-Esteem and Meaning Making while under Death Awareness
    (Brill, 2019) Coleman, Thomas J., III; Sevinc, Kenan; Hood, Ralph W., Jr.; Jong, Jonathan
    In accordance with Terror Management Theory research, secular beliefs can serve an important role for mitigating existential concerns by providing atheists with a method to attain personal meaning and bolster self-esteem. Although much research has suggested that religious beliefs are powerful defense mechanisms, these effects are limited or reveal more nuanced effects when attempting to explain atheists' (non)belief structures. The possibility of nonbelief that provides meaning in the here and now is reinforced by the importance placed on scientific discovery, education, and social activism by many atheists. Thus, these values and ideologies can, and do, allow for empirically testable claims within a Terror Management framework. Although religious individuals can and largely do use religion as a defense strategy against existential concerns, purely secular ideologies are more effective for atheists providing evidence for a hierarchical approach and individual differences within worldview defenses. Evidence for and implications of these arguments are discussed.

    Attitudes of the Nonreligious toward Abortion, Contraceptives, and Homosexuality: Comparing the Far East and Western Europe
    (Brill, 2020) Sevinc, Kenan
    Numerous studies have shown that the number of nonreligious people in the World is increasing and that people without religious affiliation demonstrate more liberal attitudes on controversial issues than affiliated people. Research suggests these differences may arise from the higher education level of the nonreligious and/or cultural context. To further explore the effects of culture on the attitudes of nonreligious, I analyze data from The Global Attitudes Project-Spring (2013). The data were downloaded from the Association of Religion Data Archives, www.TheARDA.com and were collected by Pew Research Center. When the data were analyzed, 6746 of the participants (18.2%) were found to be nonreligious. Three of the countries with the highest rate of nonreligious are from Western Europe (Czechia=69.5%, Britain=44.4%, Germany=35.3%) and three of them are from Far East (China=83.4%, Japan=45.4%, South Korea=42.6%). I compared attitudes of nonreligious from these countries (N=4581) towards abortion, contraception use, and homosexuality. The results indicate that nonreligious people living in the Far East find abortion, contraceptive use, and homosexuality more morally unacceptable than Western Europeans. This suggests that attitudes among the nonreligious are not homogenous, and that cultural factors are important variables to consider in future research.

    Non-Belief: An Islamic Perspective
    (Ubiquity Press Ltd, 2018) Sevinc, Kenan; Coleman, Thomas J., III; Hood, Ralph W., Jr.
    Psychology of religion research is typically conducted with Protestant populations living in the West. Only recently has non-belief in God become a central topic in the field. And while it remains an open question whether or not the research assumptions and theoretical frameworks designed for Western populations of Protestants can be applied to non-believers, exploring non-belief in the Islamic context may pose additional problems. For example, do Western concepts and terms such as church attendance or atheist have equivalent meaning in the Muslim world? Are there any structural differences within Islam and Christianity that may contribute to the uneven number of self-reported non-believers within these cultures? In this article, we argue that a cultural psychological approach can provide a useful perspective for researching non-belief in the Muslim cultural context.

    (Elsevier Science Bv, 2012) Sevinc, Kenan; Tasci, Sibel; Demir, Elif
    Student personality services are the most important part of the guidance and counseling services. These services are the best indicator which school is just not a place that provides students' academic development. To provide consulting services is very important for the student's self-realization, become aware of the latent forces and establish healthy relationships with other people as a social entity. Turkey is influenced by USA to create a system of guidance and psychological counselling. The staff who carries out this work in public school, is called as Guidance Teacher. There are some problems, which are qualitative and quantitative deficiencies, about regarding the execution of works by Guidance Teachers. In this study, the findings, found by using litterateur scanning method, are reviewed. Especially qualitative deficiencies are addressed on the basis of guidance teachers.

Correlational survey method and questionnaire technique are used. The sample covers 114 people ranging from 16 to 64. In this research, Religious Coping Scale, and Gratitude Scale, and Life Satisfaction Scale are used to collect data. The findings of the study indicate that females reported higher levels of positive religious coping (like benevolent religious reappraisal and religious pleading) than males, and patients reported higher levels of positive religious coping than patient relatives and hospital staff (like doctors and nurses). Morever, life satisfaction is positively correlated with positive religious coping and gratitude.
