Abstract

Bu çalışmada liseye devam eden ergenlerde mutluluğun psikososyal göstergeleri arasındaki ilişkileri belirlemek amaçlanmıştır. Öz- yeterlik, akran ilişkileri ve sosyal onay ihtiyacı psikososyal göstergeler olarak ele alınmıştır. Araştırmanın çalışma grubu 637 lise öğrencisinden oluşmaktadır. Araştırma grubunda yer alan öğrencilerin yaşları 13 ile 19 arasında değişmektedir (X ̅=15,56; Ss=1,19). Analiz sonuçları ergen mutluluğu ile öz-yeterlik, akran ilişkileri ve sosyal onay ihtiyacı arasında, öz-yeterlik ile akran ihtiyacı ve sosyal onay ihtiyacı arasında anlamlı ilişkilerin olduğunu göstermektedir. Yapısal Eşitlik Modellemesi (YEM) sonuçlarına göre ergen mutluluğu ve öz- yeterlik arasındaki ilişkide akran ilişkileri ve sosyal onay ihtiyacının kısmi aracı role sahip olduğu belirlenmiştir. Öz-yeterlik, akran ilişkileri ve sosyal onay ihtiyacı, ergen mutluluğunun toplam varyansının %54’ ünü açıklamaktadır. Araştırmada psikososyal göstergeler olarak ele alınan öz-yeterlik akran ilişkileri ve sosyal onay ihtiyacının ergen mutluluğunun anlamlı yordayıcıları olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Elde edilen bulgular alanyazın doğrultusunda tartışılmış ve öneriler sunulmuştur

Examination of the Associations of Happiness, Self-Efficacy, Peer Relationships and Need for Social Approval Among Adolescents

Abstract

In present study, it was aimed to determine the associations among the psychosocial indicators of happiness in adolescents attending high school. Self-efficacy, peer relations, and the need for social approval were considered as psychosocial indicators. The study group of the research consisted of 637 high school students. The ages of the students in the research group ranged from 13 to 19 (M=15.56; SD= 1.19). The results of the analysis showed that there were significant associations among adolescent happiness and self-efficacy, the need for peer relationships and social approval, and between self-efficacy and the need for peer and social approval. According to the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) results, it was determined that peer relations and the need for social approval had a partial mediating role in the association between adolescent happiness and self-efficacy. Self-efficacy, peer relationships, and the need for social approval accounted for 54% of the total variance of adolescent happiness. In the current study, it was concluded that self-efficacy, peer relations, and the need for social approval, which were considered as psychosocial indicators, were significant predictors of adolescent happiness. The findings were discussed in line with the literature and suggestions were presented.
