    (2017) Yıldız, Mualla; Belen, F. Zeynep; Arslan, Kübra Türkmen; Özasma, Halil İbrahim
    People who live in Turkey have experienced terrorist attacks for morethan thirty years. In the past, the goals of the terrorist organizations were tofrighten innocent civilians, but modern attacks are much more malevolent,and they have turned into indiscriminate massacres. In recent years, terroristorganizations have attacked big cities and the general population feels thatterrorism is no longer a regional problem and anyone could be in danger.The objective of this study is to determine defense mechanisms against fearof death after terrorist attacks in 2016, Ankara. Therefore, this study used aphenomenological approach as a method of qualitative research. This studyapplied open-ended questions in a semi-structured interview form on a sampleof N 26 selected by purposive sampling that lived in Ankara during June2016. End of the study, four different defense mechanisms were determined.These defense mechanisms were religious-active, religious-passive, nonreligious-passive,and non-religious active (Figure 1). As a result, theresearchers realized that neither classical Islamic philosophers’ destiny/qadar approaches nor modern psychologists’ fatalism approach could describe theMuslim Turkish population’s defense mechanism against mortality salience.Therefore, the authentic measures and concepts should be improved in orderto acquire more knowledge about this authentic sample.
