Başarı yönelimleri, kendini aldatma ve boyun eğici davranış arasındaki ilişkilerin incelenmesi

Abstract

Bu araştırmada başarı yönelimleri, kendini aldatma ve boyun eğici davranış arasındaki ilişkilerincelenmiştir. Araştırma Sakarya Üniversitesi’nde öğrenim gören 412 üniversite öğrencisi üzerindeyürütülmüştür. Araştırmada 2X2 Başarı Yönelimleri Ölçeği, İki Boyutlu Sosyal İstenirlikÖlçeği’nin Öz-aldatma alt Ölçeği ve Boyun Eğici Davranışlar Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Bulgularöğrenme-yaklaşma yöneliminin kendini aldatmayla pozitif, performans-kaçınma yöneliminin isenegatif ilişkili olduğunu göstermiştir. Ayrıca öğrenme-kaçınma ve performans-yaklaşma/kaçınmayönelimleri boyun eğici davranışla pozitif ilişkili bulunmuştur. Yapısal eşitlik modelinden eldeedilen uyum indeksleri modelin kabul edilebilir uyum iyiliği değerleri ürettiğini göstermiştir (χ2 =2.45, p = .293, GFI = 1.00, AGFI = .99, CFI = 1.00, NFI = .99, RFI = .95, IFI = 1.00 ve RMSEA =.021). Model kendini aldatmanın öğrenme-yaklaşma yönelimi tarafından pozitif, performanskaçınma yönelimi tarafından negatif yordandığını göstermiştir. Öte yandan öğrenme-kaçınma veperformans-yaklaşma/kaçınma yönelimleri boyun eğici davranışı pozitif yordamıştır
