Lise Öğrencilerinde Sosyal Yetkinlik Beklentisi ve Otomatik Düşüncelerin, Yaşanılan Sosyal Birim ve Cinsiyet Açısından İncelenmesi

Abstract

Bu araştırmada, lise öğrencilerinde sosyal yet-kinlik beklentisi ve otomatik düşüncelerin, öğrencinin yaşadığı sosyal birim (aile, akraba yanı, yurt) ve cinsiyete göre farklılaşıp farklılaşmadığı incelenmiştir. Örneklem toplam 455 öğrenciden oluşmaktadır. Verilerin toplanması amacıyla Sosyal Yetkinlik Beklentisi Ölçeği Ergen Formu, Otomatik Düşünceler Ölçeği ve Kişi-sel Bilgi Formu kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde Tek Yönlü Varyans Analizi, t-testi ve LSD tekniklerinden yararlanılmıştır. Araştırmada elde edilen bulgular, lise öğrencilerinde sosyal yetkinlik beklentisi düştükçe olumsuz otomatik düşüncelerin arttığını; yurtta kalan öğrencilerde, aile ve akraba yanında kalan öğrencilere göre sosyal yetkinlik beklentisinin daha düşük, olumsuz otomatik düşüncelerin ise daha fazla olduğunu göstermektedir. Araştırmada ayrıca cinsiyete göre sosyal yetkinlik beklentisi ve otomatik düşünceler açısından önemli bir farklılığın bulunmadığı saptanmıştır. Elde edilen bulgular; sosyal yetkinlik beklentisi düzeyi düşük, olumsuz otomatik düşünceleri yoğun olan ve yurtta kalan lise öğrencilerinin, psikososyal desteğe daha çok ihtiyaç duyduklarını göstermektedir.
