Abstract


Kajian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji pembentukan model toleransi beragama belia pelbagai etnik di Malaysia. Beberapa konstruk dalam membentuk model toleransi beragama dikenalpasti melalui teori dan kajian-kajian lepas. Seramai 500 orang belia dari etnik Melayu, Cina dan India dari negeri Selangor, Melaka, Negeri Sembilan, Perak dan Johor dipilih sebagai responden kajian. Data dikumpul melalui edaran soal selidik dengan menggunakan soal selidik Toleransi Sosio-Agama dan pembentukan model berasaskan kepada teori tingkahlaku terancang. Kesahan dan kebolehpercayaan data ditentukan oleh ujian rintis dan nilai Cronbach Alpha bagi setiap item dan konstruk. Data dianalisis secara deskriptif dan statistik inferensi, iaitu Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) digunakan dalam membentuk model toleransi beragama yang sepadan. Data kajian turut menjalani proses Confirmation Factor Analysis (CFA) untuk memastikan data yang digunakan mempunyai kebolehpercayaan yang memenuhi syarat dan boleh digunakan untuk pengukuran dan penstrukturan model. Hasil dapatan menunjukkan bahawa model toleransi beragama mencapai tahap kesepadanan apabila beberapa konstruk dan item dibuang dan konstruk yang sepadan adalah sikap dan persepsi menyumbang kepada tingkahlaku toleransi beragama. Namun, kedua-dua faktor ini hanya menyumbang sebanyak 41% sahaja dalam tingkahlaku responden terhadap toleransi beragama. Ini bermakna, selain daripada sikap dan persepsi, beberapa faktor lain perlu dikaji dalam memberi pengaruh kepada tingkahlaku toleransi beragama. Implikasi daripada kajian ini menunjukkan bahawa golongan belia perlu sentiasa didedahkan dengan pergaulan dan interaksi dengan kaum yang berbeza agar tingkahlaku toleransi antara penganut yang berbeza dapat dikekalkan. Sikap-sikap negatif seperti prasangka buruk, sterotaip negatif, prejudis, rasisme, diskriminasi dan etnosentrisma perlu dijauhi dan dielakkan agar keharmonian dalam perbezaan dapat dikekalkan.

Abstract 

The purpose of this paper is to study the development of religious tolerance model among multi-ethnic youths in Malaysia. A few constructs are identified to develop religious tolerance model through past researchs and theory. The samples consist of 500 youths among Malay, Chinese and Indian from five different states in Malaysia: Selangor, Melaka, Negeri Sembilan, Perak and Johor. Data were collected using Socio-religious tolerance questionnaire and the development model is based on planned behaviour theory. The data of validity and reliability are determined by pilot test and Cronbach Alpha for every item and construct. Data were analyses in descriptive and statistical inference, which is Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) is used in develop religious tolerance model fit. Before data was analysed, the data will go through to Confirmation Factor Analysis (CFA) to make sure the data is reliable to use and can proceed to measurement and structural model. The results show that religious tolerance model is fit when some items and constructs are deleted. The religious tolerance model shows that perception and attitude contribute to religious tolerance behaviour. However, both of these two factors only contribute to 41% towards respondents’ religious tolerance behaviour. This findings indicate that, other than attitude and perception factors, there are others factor need to identify in contribute to religious tolerance behaviour. The implications of this study, Malaysians need to be exposed thoroughly to the association and interaction between people of other faiths or ethnics. Bad attitudes such as prejudice, stereotype, prejudice, racism, discrimination and ethnocentrism should be avoided to keep harmony living.
