Özet:

Meta-analysis research was conducted to understand the effect of gender on religious coping. The fact that it is the first meta-analysis on religious coping in the psychology of religion further increases the importance of the research. Inclusion criteria were determined for the meta-analysis research, and the selection of the studies to be included according to the determined criteria was made in line with the flow chart. 10 dissertations that met the inclusion criteria of the meta-analysis were used. CMA (version 3) program was used to make the data more meaningful. During the analysis process, effect sizes and heterogeneity tests were performed, and Hedges's g values were calculated to define the effect size. Funnel plots were made to determine the forest and publication bias regarding the effect sizes. The effect size was insignificant in favor of men (g=-0.009) for positive religious coping, and insignificant in favor of women (g=0.099) for negative religious coping. It was determined that gender did not affect the level of religious coping.
