Text of Note

This dissertation examines the relationship between Islamic faith and length of time living in the United States on Muslim Middle-Eastern women's self-esteem. Religious scholars, remarking on this relationship, have often focused their reasoning on personal experience or non-scientific observations or studies. This research reviews the history of Islamic faith and themes in the Koran that relate to gender roles. The Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale is the survey utilized to examine the relationship between Islamic faith and length of time living in the United States on Muslim Middle-Eastern women's self-esteem. The obtained sample (n=21) was drawn from Muslim Student Associations at University of Georgia, and California State University in Los Angeles, as well as, through contacting Muslim Middle-Eastern women who were referred through various individuals in Iranian and other Middle-Eastern communities in Atlanta, Georgia. The research was analyzed utilizing a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), and phenomenological method to examine themes within the qualitative responses.
