Abstract

The existing literature on empathic anger presents a variety of perspectives. While some scholars view it as a constructive expression of anger, others delineate it as a specific form of emotional empathy. On the other hand, the role of religion in society remains a topic of interest among researchers due to the beneficial impact it has on the emergence of prosocial behaviors. These findings suggest that religion plays a significant part in maintaining social order and cohesion. Nevertheless, only a limited number of studies have addressed empathic anger within the context of religion. In light of the aforementioned considerations, the first part of the study aims to ascertain the degree of empathic anger, religious attitude, and level of religious involvement among Generation Z students. The second part of the study examines the influence of religious components on the manifestation of empathic anger in respondents. The results indicated that although empathic anger is only correlated with religious behavior, religious attitudes also exert some influence on the manner in which students relate to injustice.
