dc.description.abstractItikaf (seclusion in a mosque) is prayer maintained with deep hunger during Ramadan, the month of fasting.Hunger has a positive psychological impact on people. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectof itikaf on spirituality and mental health by examining its effects on anger control and subjective well-being.This experimenal study investigates the effects and changes on trait anger, intrinsic religiousness, and subjectivewell-being during the period of itikaf on healthy adults practicing itikaf worship. While a statistically significantdifference exists between the State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory and Subjective Well-Being Inventory scorescollected before and after the itikaf (p < 0.05), no statistically significant difference has been found for the scoresfrom the Intrinsic Religiousness Scale before and after the itikaf (p > 0.05). At the end of itikaf, anger-controlscores were observed to increase as anger scores decreased. A significant difference has been observed in theSubjective Well-Being Inventory and State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory posttests in terms of the duration ofthe fast. Itikaf has been found to have positive psychological effects due to being an intensive worship program.en_US
