Abstract

This study aimed at identifying the attitudes of postgraduate students in Jordanian universities towards the social factors affecting the emergence of anomie in Jordanian society. The method used was a descriptive analytical approach. The study sample consisted of 273 postgraduate students in five public Jordanian universities enrolled in the second semester of the academic year (2018/ 2019) for the degrees of higher diploma, master’s degree, and doctorate. The study sample was selected using the simple random way. The study used a questionnaire which consisted of (24) items that represent the social dimension affecting the emergence of anomie in Jordanian society. The study results showed that there is a high-impact level for the social factors on the emergence of anomie in Jordanian society from the perspective of postgraduate students in Jordanian universities. The results also revealed that there are statistically significant differences between the mean responses for the study sample individuals towards the social factors affecting the emergence of anomie in Jordanian society due to the variables of monthly income, age, marital status, faculty, religion, job status, while there are no statistically significant differences between the mean responses for the study sample individuals towards the social factors affecting the emergence of anomie in Jordanian society due to the variables of gender and educational qualification. Based on the results, the study concludes with recommendations for further research.
