Özet:

Personal and social rules must be followed, as well as certain rules in traffic. There are positive and negative behaviors on the road. There are mental/psychological problems as a result of negative behavior and loss of lives and goods. There are many studies that show that there is a relationship between religiousness and traffic behavior and religiousness and empathy. It can also be predicted that there are relationships between driving behavior and religiousness and empathy. Furthermore, in studies based on correlation relationships, we can express as a prior acceptance that those with high levels of religiousness, inner religiousness and empathy will be more careful and respectful in traffic. The fact that people are more civilized, more respected and more compliant with traffic rules is based on empathy and religious/moral values. This study aims to study the relationship between religiousness and traffic behaviors and empathy. Based on literature, the following hypotheses are created: there is a differentiation in the positive driver behavior by gender and errors and violations in traffic. According to the accident rate, the positive driver behavior and errors and violations in the traffic are different. There is a positive relationship between religiousness, empathic tendency and positive driving behavior. There is a negative relationship between religiousness and traffic errors and violations. Religion, empathic tendencies and positive driving behaviors. In the relationship between religiousness and positive driving behavior, the instrument of empathy sees a variable role. The study used the method of documentation and the method of relative scan. The survey data has been collected through the Internet (Google Documents) based on the Heroes. There are different social media and communication tools. According to the study, a total of 201 people participated. According to gender, 104 (51.7%) of the participants are male and 97 (48.3%) female. The age range of the sample varies between 20 and 58 and the average age is 33. 199 of the surveyed drivers (99%) have a driving license, while 2 people (1%) do not have a driving license. According to the accident rates, 100 of the participants (49.8 percent) had accidents, and 101 (50.2 percent) had no accidents. The data was analyzed using the SPSS package program and the AMOS program. Analysis included visual analysis, t-test, Pearson Correlation test, multi-regression based on the structural equality model, instrument variable analysis and reliability analysis tests. The personal information form, which is included in the form of approval created by the researcher, was developed by Reason and others, the scale of driving behavior adapted to Turkish by Sumer and others, the scale of positive driving behavior developed by Özkan and Lajunen, the scale of empathic tendency developed by Dökmen and the scale of religiousness developed by Ayten. There has been statistically significant differences in the dimensions of errors and violations (t(199)=4,731; p<0,05) and positive driver behavior (t(170,9)=-3,190; p<0,05) which are the lower dimensions of driver behavior. Based on the average of gender errors and violations, it is possible to say that men (m=2,02) in the traffic have committed more rules and violations than women (m=1,72) In terms of positive driving behavior, we can say that women (m=4,05) are more positive than men (m=3,78) in traffic. According to whether or not the accident or the involvement in the accident, it has been studied whether the persons are different in terms of errors and violations and the positive driving display. According to the data in Table 2, statistically significant differences in errors and violations (t(199)=-3,382; p<0,05) were observed according to accident rates, while statistically significant differences in positive driver behavior were not observed. Therefore, we can say that the accidents (m=1.99) and the non-accidents (m=1.77) have made more errors and violations than the accidents. The correlation between religiousness and empathic tendency (r(201)=,265; p<0,01) has been found at a statistically significant level. Religion and empathic tendencies have influenced each other in a positive direction. But there is no meaningful relationship between religious and other variables. The empathic trend variable and the positive driver behavior have a meaningful and positive (r(201)=378; p<0,01) relationship, while the error and violations have a meaningful and negative (r(201)=-,200; p<0,01) relationship with the lower dimension. Regression analysis results indicate the empathic tendency of religiousness (β=,265; p<0,001). Religion describes the empathic tendency, 265. Religion has no effect on driving behavior, which is another variable of work. This study found that religious behavior (β=,110; p>0,001) and the size of errors and violations (β=-,120; p>0,001) which are the lower dimensions of driving behavior did not have a regression relationship. According to the structural equality model, when it comes to the regression weights, the instrument did not need a variable analysis. When the instrument is assumed that there are three paths (paths) in the variable analysis: a=religion, b=empathic tendency and c=positive driving behavior. A variable; the influencer, b variable; the medium variable and c variable are the influencer. The first requirement in the mediation effect analysis is that the direct regression relationship between the variable a and the variable c. According to the findings of the study, there is no direct or indirect regression relationship between the religious variable and the positive driving behavior.
