Abstract

Bu araştırmada, üniversite öğrencilerinin genel öz-yeterlik algısı, durumluk kaygı,
stres kontrol değerlendirmesinin ekzojen değişkenler ve yaşam doyumu aracı
(mediator) değişken olarak ele alınıp akış deneyimiyle ilişkisini betimleyen bir
model test edilmiştir. Bu amaçla 2005-2006 eğitim-öğretim yılı bahar döneminde
Gazi Üniversitesinde çeşitli lisans programlarına devam eden, 198 erkek ve 473 kız
öğrenci olmak üzere 671 öğrenciye stres kontrol, genel öz-yeterlik, durumluk kaygı,
durumluk akış ve yaşam doyumu ölçekleri uygulanmıştır. Elde edilen veriler yapısal
eşitlik modelinde yer alan yol (path) analizi ile analiz edilmiştir. Analiz sonucunda,
stres kontrol değerlendirmesi, durumluk kaygı, genel öz-yeterlik ve yaşam
doyumuna dayalı akış modeline ilişkin uyum katsayıları, X2
indep(2, N=671) .00 (p<
.001) ve RMSEA değeri .00 (RMSEA ≤ 0.06) olarak hesaplanmıştır. Bir başka deyişle
sonuçlar, değişkenler arasında doğrudan, dolaylı ve toplam etki ilişkilerinin
bulunduğunu öneren hipotez modelde herhangi bir değişiklik gerektirmeksizin
doymuş modelle uyumlu olduğunu göstermiştir. Araştırma bulgularına bağlı olarak
tartışma ve yoruma dayanan bazı öneriler bu çalışmanın ilgili bölümlerinden
sunulmuştur. Bu makalede söz konusu araştırma ve sonuçlarının rapor edilmesi
kadar, akış kuramının kısaca tanıtılması da hedeflenmiştir.

A STATE FLOW MODEL: THE RELATIONSHIPS AMONG STRES CONTROL, GENERAL SELF-EFFICACY, STATE ANXIETY, LIFE SATISFACTION AND STATE FLOW

Abstract

The overall goal of the study was to establish a flow model in which general self efficacy, state anxiety, and stress control as exogenous variables, life satisfaction as mediator variable and flow experience as endogenous variable. In order to accomplish this goal, stress control appraisal, general self-efficacy, state anxiety, life satisfaction, and state flow scales were administered to 671 students (198 male and 473 female) who were attending various programs at Gazi University Faculty of Education in 2005-2006 Educational Year. The data were analyzed via Path Analysis in Structural Equating Modeling. The analysis revealed that goodness of fit test coefficients of the hypothesized model had a perfect match with the saturated model X2indep(2, N=671) .00 (p< .001) with an RMSEA value of .00 (RMSEA ≤0.06). The conclusion depending on findings were presented under the related topics. In this article, a brief presentation of Flow Theory was also intended in order to make readers more familiar with.
