Examining the Relationship between External Influences Acceptance and Self-Alienation and General Well-Being from an Existential Social Work Perspective: Implications for Social Work Intervention

Öz

Contemporary social work research highlights the detrimental effects of accepting external influence and self-alienation on psychological functioning, yet the relationships between these factors and general well-being require further investigation in social work science. This study examines the relationships between external effect acceptance, self-alienation, and general well-being among Turkish adults. Drawing on existential social work theory, we hypothesized that both external effect acceptance and self-alienation would negatively predict general well-being. Data were collected from 310 participants using the Authenticity Scale (external effect acceptance and self-alienation subscales) and the General Well-Being Scale. Structural equation modeling revealed that both external effect acceptance and self-alienation negatively predicted general well-being, with self-alienation showing a stronger negative effect compared to external effect acceptance. The two dimensions also demonstrated a strong positive association with each other. These findings highlight the differential impact of external effect acceptance and self-alienation on well-being and underscore the particular importance of addressing self-alienation in social work practice and interventions. The results contribute to the growing body of social work knowledge regarding authenticity-based interventions and provide empirical support for existential social work approaches to promoting psychological health.
