Abstract :Individuals often attempt to use various coping strategies when faced with challenging life events and personal difficulties. One of these coping strategies is religious coping, which is frequently used in both positive and negative ways. This particular coping method has been the subject of research in various disciplines, particularly in the field of psychology of religion. This study aims to examine the postgraduate theses written on religious coping within the scope of the Higher Education Council National Thesis Center through the bibliometric analysis method. The bibliometric analysis was conducted on postgraduate theses on religious coping in terms of university type, province-university name, year, thesis type, institute, department, topic, sample group, thesis methodology, and related psychological variables. Bibliometric research contributes to providing insights for future studies. Therefore, based on the information obtained from the theses, a comprehensive perspective on religious coping is presented. In addition, exploring the relationship with psychological variables allows for an interdisciplinary understanding of the concept of religious coping. Hence, this study is expected to provide a multidimensional approach for those interested in studying religious coping. In addition, research results emphasize that religious coping is an important strategy by revealing its effect on psychological variables.
