Data analysis shows that the highest level of inclination towards new-emerging mysticisms was observed among younger students, those of Lur and Turk ethnicity, and those belonging to higher social classes.
Finally, it was determined that young people who have higher religious commitment and possess a more cohesive ethnic identity showed less inclination towards new-emerging mystical sects.
New-emerging mysticisms, sect, youth, student, religiosity, ethnic identity Introduction After World War II and following the explosion of religious heresies in Japan, the study and investigation in the field of new religions began as a specialized field.
Most individuals who lean toward these intellectual currents are from the middle and upper classes of society, who, due to their concerns regarding human salvation and liberation, are attracted to new religious movements; after passing the sensitive years of youth, they lose their inclination toward these new religions and, like before, do not benefit from these mystical schools; although they also have no attachment to traditional religions and place a set of beliefs gathered from various religions as the motto of their behaviors, and in this way, they arrive at a highly personalized and individualistic religion.
Rothstein's (1996) research on the tendency towards these cognitive types in Denmark indicates that young people, due to their concerns regarding salvation and human liberation, are attracted to emerging mysticisms and, after passing through the sensitive years of youth, lose their inclination towards these new religions.
