Özet:

The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between religious orientations and the PERMA model of well-being. The "Muslim Religious Orientation Scale–Revised" and the "PERMA" scale were applied in the study, in which 875 people from different regions of Turkey participated. In addition, survey measurements regarding gender, region of residence, subjective income perception, and education level were applied. Descriptive analyses and correlational statistics (Mann–Whitney U test, Kruskal–Wallis H test, Spearman’s correlation analysis) were used to examine the relationship between variables. At the end of the study, it was determined that the religious orientation and PERMA well-being model levels of the sample were high. Participants obtained the highest religious orientation score from the intrinsic religious orientation scale and the highest well-being score from the engagement scale. While the PERMA scales did not differ according to the gender variable, the scores of intrinsic religious orientation differed significantly in favor of women. In the variables of subjective income and education, there were significant differences at various levels between the groups in the scores obtained from the religious orientation scales and PERMA well-being scales. However, there was no significant difference between the groups in the variable of region of residence. As a result of the research, positive and significant relationships were found between the intrinsic, extrinsic, and fundamentalist religious orientation styles and the PERMA well-being model subdimensions, apart from the quest religious orientation.
