Recently, insufficiency of secular coping methods has drawn the attention of researchers towards religious coping methods. While the parts about theory and model cover an important place in the literature, experimental studies are rapidly going on. Although religious coping was initially interpreted as positive, experimental studies reveal that it also has negative forms. The purpose of this study, in which qualitative research methods were used, is to define the components of religious coping. Semi structured interview was used among 42 participants, 9 war veterans from Association of Turkish Disabled War Veterans, Martyrs, their Widows and Orphans Ankara Branch, and 9 relatives of martyrs from the Association of Martyrs' Families Ankara Branch, totaling 60 volunteer participants between the ages 25 and 65 with snowball sampling method. It was discovered that 29 of the participants used negative religious coping and the participants who only used negative religious coping were studied in this research. Upon recording the interviews with the aid of a recorder, the researched typed the script of the interviews. The qualitative analysis of the collected data was done in MAXODA 11 computer program.

The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between self-handicapping and spiritual well-being. A total of 201 students, of which 121 males and 80 females studying in the Faculty of Theology of Akdeniz University participated in this study. Participants were found to have the lowest age of 20, the highest age of 40, and the average age of 22,35. In the survey; Spiritual Well-Being Scale developed by Ekşi and Kardaş (2017) and Self-Sabotage Scale, developed by Jones and Rohodewalt (1982) and adapted to Turkish language by Akın (2012) were used. The data obtained in the study was analyzed using SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) program for Windows 21.0. Whilst evaluation of data, descriptive statistics T-Test and Anova were conducted. The relationship between the dependent and independent variables of the survey was tested by Pearson correlation and the effect was tested by regression analysis. The findings were evaluated at the level of 5% significance in the 95% confidence interval (p <0.05). According to findings; there was no significant difference among the sexes.There was a significant positive correlation between Anomie and self-handicapping.Again, in the regression analysis made with the aim of determining the independent predictors of selfhandicapping, it has been found that Anomie predicts to prevent self-handicapping. Anatolian culture, which is spiritual oriented has many values that prevent self-handicapping. Rational, emotional and spiritual studies can offer both preventative and restorative contributions to prevent self-handicapping. It may be useful to structure the education of theology to include functional understanding of religion as well as understanding of essential religion.
