Abstract

This study aimed to reveal the extent to which a sample of parents were found to practice Islamic child-rearing methods to modify stubborn behavior in their children. In addition, it aims to demonstrate the extent to which there are statistically significant differences in the level of parents’ practice of Islamic child-rearing methods in modifying stubborn behavior in children based on the variables of social role, level of education, employment status, and the number of children. The study adopted the descriptive analytical approach using the field survey method as it was deemed well-fitted to the nature of the study and its objectives. To achieve the objectives of the study, a questionnaire was constructed to collect data from parents. The sample consisted of 317 fathers and mothers, who were selected via the convenience method during the first semester of the academic year 2021-2022. The study revealed a set of important results. Most prominently, the extent to which parents practice Islamic parenting methods in modifying stubborn behavior in children was high, with the method of encouragement being most commonly used, and the method of exclusion (isolation) being the least used. The results also indicated that there were no statistically significant differences at the significance level (α = 0.05) based on the variables of social role, educational level, and employment status. There are significant differences between the arithmetic averages due to the variable of the number of children. The study recommended encouraging institutions concerned with the family in Jordanian society to focus their attention on conducting training courses for mothers and fathers, to help them learn and practice behavior modification strategies as found in Islamic teachings and to provide them with appropriate support materials for doing so.

Abstract

Religious commitment, particularly within Islamic contexts, is often viewed as a guiding framework for promoting values such as tolerance, respect, and social harmony; however, differing interpretations and personal expressions of religiosity can sometimes challenge these ideals, necessitating deeper exploration of how religiosity influences social interactions. The study investigates the relationship between religious commitment and respect for others regarding the levels of tolerance behavior among university students. The study employed a descriptive quantitative cross-sectional survey from June 16 to August 16, 2023, with a sample of 334 enrolled in the College of Sharia at Yarmouk University in Jordan. The survey consists of three main scales: religious commitment, respect for others, and tolerance. Students’ demographic data, including gender, nationality, age group, academic department, and the year of study, were also collected via the questionnaire. The findings highlight significant gender differences in religious commitment, with males demonstrating higher levels than females. While no significant age differences were observed in religious commitment, tolerance varied notably, particularly among the 24-26 age group. The study participants represented a diverse range of countries of origin. A country-wise analysis revealed that students from Thailand have the highest religious commitment, underscoring the influence of cultural contexts. Departmental comparisons showed no significant differences, although the findings highlight that respect for others impacts tolerance, religious commitment and demography have almost no effect as predicted. The findings emphasize the primary role of respect in fostering social harmony, suggesting that future interventions should focus on promoting respect as a fundamental value in Islamic culture to enhance tolerance.
