Abstract

Due to the growth of research in the field of humanities and social sciences, it is not possible to master all aspects of a problem; Therefore, researchers have turned to conducting mixed-methods research, which provides them with an extract of existing research on a specific topic in a systematic way; Therefore, the purpose of this research is to use the meta-analysis method to analyze and combine the results of the studies conducted on the relationship between virtual space and religiosity. For the present meta-analysis, 18 related studies have been selected in the years 1390-1400, whose purpose was to evaluate the relationship between the use of virtual space and religiosity. Also, these researches were conducted by survey method and by using questionnaire tool in different statistical communities and according to reliable criteria. In the first step of the evaluation of the selected studies, the assumptions of homogeneity and non-bias of the publication have been checked, and the findings show the heterogeneity of the effect size and the non-bias of the publication of the considered studies.
