Abstract

Günümüzde pozitif psikoloji anlayışı, hızla gelişerek devam etmektedir. Bu anlayışın bir uzantısı olarak algılanan kontrol ve öznel iyi oluş kavramları karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, algılanan kontrol ile öznel iyi oluş arasındaki ilişkilerin incelenmesidir. Çalışmaya Gazi Üniversitesi’nde eğitim gören 19-25 yaşları arasındaki 170 erkek ve 170 kadın olmak üzere toplam 340 öğrenci katılmıştır. Çalışmada Alan Genel Algılanan Kontrol Ölçeği, Yaşam Doyumu Ölçeği ve Pozitif-Negatif Duygu Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Çalışmada, algılanan kontrolün öznel iyi oluşu ne düzeyde yordadığını belirlemek amacıyla basit regresyon analizi yönteminden yararlanılmıştır. Yapılan analizlerin sonucuna göre, algılanan kontrolün öznel iyi oluşu anlamlı şekilde yordadığı görülmüştür.

Abstract

Nowadays, the positive psychology approach develops rapidly and comprehensively. With this
perspective, subjective well being and perceived control are considering together. This study examines the
association between perceived control and subjective well-being (SWB) among Turkish university students. A
total of 340 individuals (170 male and 170 female) completed the Domain General Perceived Control Scale,
Positive-Negative Affect Scale-PANAS and the Life Satisfaction Scale (LSS). Regression analysis shows that
perceived control is important predictors of subjective well-being. Results were found parallel with the literature.

Keywords
