Özet

The present study investigates the relationhips among political trust, religious fundamentalism, and quest religiosity orientations. We also examined the role of authoritarianism and system justification in these relationships. In the study, 177 (57.3%) female and 132 (42.7%) male, a total of 309 participants were surveyed. The results showed that political trust is positively associated with the religious fundamentalism, system justification, and authoritarianism while it is negatively related to the quest religiosity. The result also showed that the authoritarianism and system justification play mediating roles in the relationship between political trust and religiosity.
