Abstract

İnsanlar çeşitli şekillerde tepki verdikleri olumlu ya da olumsuz pek çok yaşam durumunun hedefi olurlar. Bu araştırmada amaç bireylerin stres yaratan durumlara psikolojik sağlamlık çerçevesinde nasıl tepki verdiklerini araştırmaktır. Bu bağlamda bireysel özelliklerden duygulanım ve başaçıkma stratejilerine ek olarak aileden ve sosyal çevreden alınan desteğin psikolojik sağlamlık üzerindeki rolü incelenmiştir,yaşam doyumuyla tüm değişkenlerin ilişkisi araştırılmıştır. Araştırmada 18 yaş üstü, 403 bireyden kartopu örneklem yöntemiyle veri toplanmıştır. Katılımcıların %76’sı kadın (n=310) ve %24 ‘ü erkektir (n=93). Önerilen model, yol analizi kullanılarak test edilmiştir. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre çevreden alınan sosyal desteğe ek olarak bireysel özelliklerden pozitif duygulanım, iyimser ve güvenli başaçıkma stilleri psikolojik sağlamlığı anlamlı olarak yordamaktadır. Psikolojik sağlamlık da yaşam doyumunu anlamlı olarak yordar. Ayrıca araştırmada psikolojik sağlamlığın pozitif duygulanım, iyimser başaçıkma, güvenli başaçıkma, sosyal destek ve yaşam doyumu arasındaki ilişkide anlamlı aracı değişken olduğu bulunmuştur. Araştırma sonuçlarının psikoloji alanındaki önemi ve gelecek çalışmalar için öneriler ilgili alan yazını çerçevesinde tartışılmıştır.

Resilience As A Mediator Between Affect, Coping Styles, Support and Life Satisfaction

Abstract

As humans, we are always targets of many positive and negative life events in which we would show differences in dealing with those events. In this study, the aim was to investigate how individuals react to stressful situations through the concept of resilience. Therefore, it was aimed to test the role of individual characteristics of affect and coping styles in addition to receiving support from family and social environment on resilience. The role of resilience in life satisfaction was also investigated. A survey was used including demographic questions, ego resilience scale, positive and negative affect scale, stress coping styles inventory, and satisfaction with life scale. Target of the study was individuals who were over 18 years of age and 403 participants were reached through snowball sampling. Seventysix percent of the participants were female (n=310) and 24% of them were male (n=93). Hypothesized model was tested by using path analysis. Study results showed that positive affect, optimistic coping style and confident coping style were significant predictors of resilience as individual characteristics in addition to receiving social support. Resilience was found as a significant predictor of life satisfaction. Moreover, resilience was also found as a significant mediator of the relationships between positive affect, optimistic coping, confident coping styles, receiving social support and life satisfaction. Importance of the study in the field of psychology and suggestions for future research were also discussed with relevant literature
