ERGENLERDE GELECEK BEKLENTİSİNİN MUTLULUK VE SAĞLIKLI YAŞAM TARZI İNANCINA ETKİSİ: BİR YAPISAL EŞİTLİK MODELİ

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, ergenlerde gelecek beklentisinin mutluluk ve sağlıklı yaşam tarzı inancına etkisini belirlemektir. Nicel-kesitsel-tanımlayıcı modelinin kullanıldığı çalışmanın örneklemini Türkiye'nin doğusundaki bir ilde öğrenim gören ergenler oluşturmuştur. Veriler Google Formlar kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Verilerin toplanmasında "Kişisel Bilgi Formu", "Ergen Gelecek Beklentileri Ölçeği", "Ergen Mutluluk Ölçeği" ve "Ergenler için Sağlıklı Yaşam Biçimi İnançları Ölçeği" kullanılmıştır. Ergenlerin gelecek beklentilerinin mutluluk ve sağlıklı yaşam tarzı inançları üzerinde etkili olduğu belirlenmiştir. Kurulan yapısal eşitlik modellemesinde gelecek beklentisi, mutluluk ve sağlıklı yaşam tarzı inancı arasında anlamlı bir ilişki olduğu görülmüştür. Bu çalışmadan elde edilen bulgular ergenlerin mutluluk ve sağlıklı yaşam tarzlarına ilişkin inançlarını şekillendirebilecek gelecek beklentilerini yükseltmek için çeşitli programların uygulanması gerektiğini göstermektedir.
