Abstract

Araştırmanın amacı; öğretmen adaylarının öznel iyi olma ve psikolojik ihtiyaçlarının doyurulma düzeylerini cinsiyet değişkeni açısından karşılaştırmak ve öznel iyi olma ile temel psikolojik ihtiyaçların doyumu arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemektir. Araştırmada 240 son sınıf öğrencisine ulaşılmıştır. Araştırmada öğrencilerin öznel iyi olma düzeyleri cinsiyete göre anlamlı bir farklılık göstermemiştir. Özerklik ve yeterlik ihtiyaçlarının doyumu cinsiyet açısından anlamlı bir farklılık göstermezken, ilişkili olma ihtiyacının doyumu kızların lehine anlamlı bir farklılık göstermiştir. Araştırmada temel psikolojik ihtiyaçların doyumunun, iyi olmanın önemli bir yordayıcısı olduğu bulunmuştur.
