Özet

Religiosity has been one of the most debated issues in Turkey in recent years. There has been considerable confusion in understanding the concepts of religiosity. The aim of this study is to develop a measurement tool that makes it easier to determine the religious perception of individuals. It is known that religions guide their believers in matters such as organizing their social lives and dealing with life difficulties. People who believe in the same religion can have a variety of different perspectives about religion and religious concepts. In this case, to find the source of the differentiation, a measurement tool was needed. It was decided to develop a scale to meet this need. Researchers should be aware that the scale developed with this study was prepared to measure individuals' perception of religiousness, not religiousness.
