Anlamlı bir hayat sürdürmek, insanların ruh sağlığı açısından önemli görülmektedir. Yaşamın anlamı, psikolojik iyi oluş üzerinde etkili olabilmektedir. Ancak yaşamın anlamı ile psikolojik iyi oluş arasındaki ilişkiyi etkileyen faktörler hakkında çok az şey bilinmektedir. Bu bağlamda merhametin, yaşamın anlamı ve psikolojik iyi oluş arasındaki ilişkide önemli bir rol oynayabileceği düşünülmüştür. Bu nedenle, bu çalışmada üniversite öğrencilerinde yaşamın anlamı ve psikolojik iyi oluş arasındaki ilişkide merhametin düzenleyici rolü incelenmiştir. Çalışmaya 288 üniversite öğrencisi katılmıştır. Katılımcılara kişisel bilgi formu, Yaşamda Anlam Anketi, Psikolojik İyi Oluş Ölçeği ve Yetişkin Merhamet Ölçeği uygulanmıştır. Elde edilen veriler SPSS paket programında korelasyon ve regresyon analizleri gerçekleştirilerek incelenmiştir. Analiz sonuçlarına göre, yaşamın anlamı ile psikolojik iyi oluş arasında pozitif yönde anlamlı bir ilişki vardır. Merhamet ile psikolojik iyi oluş arasında da pozitif yönde anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmaktadır. Son olarak merhamet, yaşamın anlamı ve psikolojik iyi oluş arasındaki ilişkide düzenleyici bir role sahiptir. Bu doğrultuda, üniversitelerde öğrencilerin değerler, anlam arayışı ve merhamet temalı farkındalık çalışmaları yapabilecekleri etkinliklerin düzenlenmesi ve lisans öğrencilerinin psikolojik iyi oluşlarını ve merhametli yaklaşımı destekleyecek beceriler geliştirmelerine yönelik eğitimlerin planlanması önerilebilir.

Meaning of Life and Psychological Well-being in University Students: Moderating Role of Compassion

Öz

Having a meaningful life is considered important for people's mental health. The meaning of life can be effective on psychological well-being. However, little is known about the factors affecting the relationship between meaning of life and psychological well-being. In this context, it is considered that compassion may play an important role in the relationship between meaning of life and psychological well-being. Therefore, this study examined the moderating role of compassion in the relationship between meaning of life and psychological well-being in university students. 288 university students participated in the study. Personal information form, Meaning in Life Questionnaire, Psychological Well-Being Scale and Adult Compassion Scale were applied to the participants. The data obtained were analysed by performing correlation and regression analyses in SPSS package programm. According to the results of the analyses, there is a significant positive relationship between the meaning of life and psychological well-being. There is also a significant positive relationship between compassion and psychological well-being. Finally, compassion has a moderating role in the relationship between meaning of life and psychological well-being. Accordingly, it can be recommended that universities organize activities in which students can participate in value-based, meaning-oriented, and compassion-focused awareness practices, and that training programs be planned to help undergraduate students develop skills that support their psychological well-being and compassionate approaches.
