MÜKEMMELİYETÇİLİK VE YAŞAMDA ANLAM

Year 2018, Volume: 16 Issue: 3, 37 - 56, 30.09.2018

Abstract

Bu çalışma ile mükemmeliyetçiliğin yaşamda anlam
yapısı üzerindeki rolünün incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmanın örneklemini 304
önlisans öğrencisi oluşturmaktadır. Bu çalışma ile mükemmeliyetçilik ve yaşamda
anlam yapıları arasındaki ilişkinin anlaşılmasına yönelik önemli sonuçlar elde
edilmiştir. Uyumlu mükemmeliyetçilik bileşenleri olan standartlar (r = 0.547, p
< 0,001) ve düzen (r = 0.394, p < 0,001) ile anlam varlığı arasında orta
düzeyde pozitif ilişki gözlenmiştir. Standartlar (r = 0.475, p < 0,001) ve
düzen (r = 0.353, p < 0,001) boyutları ile anlam arayışı arasında da orta
düzeyde pozitif ilişki bulunmuştur. Uyumsuz mükemmeliyetçilik bileşenleri olan
çelişki (r = 0.351, p < 0,001) ve tatminsizlik (r = 0.164, p < 0,01) ile
anlam arayışı arasında pozitif ilişki varken, bu değişkenler ile anlamlılık
arasında anlamlı ilişki bulunmamıştır. Araştırmanın regresyon bulguları,
değişkenler arasındaki ilişkinin hedef ya da amaçlar temelinde açıklanabileceği
öngörüsünü desteklemektedir. Uyumlu mükemmeliyetçilik boyutları anlam
arayışındaki varyansın %23’ünü, anlam varlığındaki varyansın ise %30’nu
açıklamaktadır. Modele standartlar boyutu anlamlı katkı verirken, düzen
boyutunun katkısı istatistiksel olarak anlamlı değildir. Diğer taraftan uyumsuz
mükemmeliyetçilik anlam arayışındaki varyansın %12’sini açıklamaktadır. Bu
durumda standartlar ve çelişki boyutlarının anlam arayışı ve anlam varlığını
açıklayan faktörler olduğu söylenebilir.
