The Belief of Test and Coping in Terms of Attributing Meaning: The Case of Martyr Families, War Veterans, and War Veterans Families

Summary/Abstract: When the individual's sense of meaning are broken as a result of some events, his/her main purpose is to win them back. Religion presents the belief of the test as a source of meaning to the events experienced. In this study, the place and function of the belief of the test in finding meaning in negative life events has been discussed. The families of martyrs, veterans, and families of veterans were preferred as the working group. The main objectives of the study are to determine whether they use the belief of test, and to demonstrate the positive or negative effects of the belief in coping, in the coping processes of the source and meaning of the traumas they experience. In three groups, the belief of the test is frequently emphasized in terms of giving a reason for the event. In the families of the martyrs, the thought that the loss came from God and is an honorable test has a positive effect on coping. In veterans, the belief of test, which is especially important in terms of answering the question "Why me?", is mostly reflected in coping with emotional tendencies. According to the families of veterans, being relatives of veterans and living with traumatized people is a test. Individual dynamics such as perception of religiousness, personality, social environment and education determine the effect of the test belief in coping.
