Bağlanma stilleri ile yaşam doyumu arasındaki ilişkide akademik güdülenmenin aracı rolü

Öz

Bu çalışmanın amacı bağlanma stillerinin yaşam doyumu ile olan ilişkisinde akademik güdülenmenin aracı rolünün belirlenmesidir. Çalışma grubu 352 katılımcıdan oluşmaktadır [232(65.9%) female, 120 (34.1%) male]. Katılımcıların yaşları 15 ile 33 arasında değişmektedir [Mage = 20.91, SD = 1.85]. Çalışmada Three Dimensional Attachment Style Scale, Life Satisfaction Scale and Academic Motivation Scale ve araştırmacılar tarafından oluşturulan personal information form ölçme aracı olarak kullanılmıştır. Korelasyon analizi sonuçlarına göre bağlanma stilleri, akademik güdülenme ve yaşam doyumu arasında anlamlı ilişkiler bulunmaktadır. Aracılık testi sonuçları güvenli ve kaçınan bağlanma stillerinin yaşam doyumu ile olan ilişkisinde akademik motivasyonun tam aracı role sahip olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Kaygılı-kararsız bağlanma stili ile yapılan analizlerde ise akademik motivasyonun kısmi aracı rolü olduğu belirlenmiştir. Araştırma sonuçları hem klinik hem de eğitim uygulamaları açısından ampirik bulgular sunmaktadır.

Mediator role of academic motivation in the relationship between attachment styles and life satisfaction

Öz

The aim of this study was to determine the mediating role of academic motivation in the relationship between attachment styles and life satisfaction. The sample comprised 352 participants [232 (65.9%) female, 120 (34.1%) male]. The ages of participants ranged from 15 to 33 years [Mage = 20.91, SD = 1.85]. According to the results of correlation analysis, there were significant correlations found between attachment styles, academic motivation and life satisfaction. Mediating test results revealed that academic motivation had a full mediating role in the correlations between secure and avoidant attachment styles with life satisfaction. Analyses of the anxious-ambivalent attachment style determined academic motivation had a partial mediating role. The research results offer empirical findings for both clinical and educational practice.
