Abstract: (47 Views)
Objective: A pronounced predisposition towards materialism has historically engendered both individual and societal ramifications. In various religious doctrines, materialism is regarded as a formidable peril to human existence and is believed to incite turmoil within the human psyche. Conversely, numerous empirical investigations posit that religiosity, faith in a divine entity, and belief in an afterlife—contrarily to materialism—exert beneficial influences on psychological well-being and the alleviation of adverse emotional states. This research endeavor seeks to investigate the influence of religious doctrines on the mitigation of negative emotions that stem from materialistic inclinations.
Methods: The research cohort comprised 248 students enrolled in the Faculty of Theology at the University of Sistan and Baluchestan. The Materialism Questionnaire (Masoud) and the Negative Emotions Questionnaire (DASS-21) were concurrently administered to the students. The data procured from this investigation were subjected to multiple regression analysis and Pearson correlation coefficient assessment, with materialism operationalized as the independent variable and negative emotions (depression, anxiety, stress) as the dependent variables.
Results: The findings revealed that materialism exerts a significant influence on the negative emotional states of students. Furthermore, materialism also affects each specific dimension of negative emotions (depression, anxiety, stress). The Pearson correlation analysis indicated a significant positive association between the majority of materialism components and negative emotional states.
Conclusions: The results of this study imply that materialism possesses a noteworthy positive correlation with the negative emotional states experienced by students.
