Eşten Algılanan Sosyal Destek İle Yaşam Doyumu Arasındaki İlişkide Yalnızlık Ve Eşle Yaşanan Çatışmanın Seri Aracılık Rolü

Öz

Bu çalışmanın amacı, eşten algılanan sosyal destek ile yaşam doyumu arasındaki ilişkide yalnızlık ve eş ile yaşanan çatışmanın seri aracılık rolünü incelemektir. Araştırmanın örneklemini, 0–2 yaş aralığında bebeği bulunan 171 anne oluşturmaktadır. Veriler Çok Boyutlu Algılanan Sosyal Destek Ölçeği, UCLA Yalnızlık Ölçeği Kısa Formu, Yaşam Doyumu Ölçeği ve Tek Maddelik Çatışma Sıklığı Göstergesi kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Verilere korelasyon analizi, eşleştirilmiş örneklemler t-testi ve PROCESS makrosu kullanılarak seri çoklu aracılık analizi uygulanmıştır. Bulgular, eşten algılanan sosyal desteğin yaşam doyumu ile pozitif, yalnızlık ve çatışma sıklığı ile negatif yönde ilişkili olduğunu göstermiştir. Seri aracılık analizi sonuçları, eşten algılanan sosyal desteğin yaşam doyumu üzerindeki toplam etkisinin anlamlı olduğunu (B=.34, %95GA [.24, .44], p<.001) ve bu ilişkinin hem doğrudan (B=.21, %95GA [.11, .31], p<.001) hem de yalnızlık ve çatışma sıklığı aracılığıyla gerçekleşen toplam dolaylı etki (B = .13, %95GA [.07, .19]) yoluyla sürdüğünü göstermiştir. Bulgular, eş desteği azaldıkça yalnızlık ve çatışmanın arttığını, bu süreçlerin ise yaşam doyumunun daha düşük olmasıyla ilişkili olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır.

The Serial Mediating Role of Loneliness and Marital Conflict in the Relationship Between Perceived Spousal Social Support and Life Satisfaction

Öz

The purpose of this study was to examine the serial mediating roles of loneliness and marital conflict in the relationship between perceived spousal social support and life satisfaction among mothers with young children. The sample consisted of 171 mothers with infants aged 0–2 years. Data were collected using the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, the UCLA Loneliness Scale–Short Form (ULS-8), the Satisfaction with Life Scale, and a single-item measure of marital conflict frequency. Correlation analysis, paired-samples t-tests, and serial multiple mediation analysis using the PROCESS macro were conducted. The results indicated that perceived spousal social support was positively associated with life satisfaction and negatively associated with loneliness and marital conflict. The total effect of perceived spousal social support on life satisfaction was significant (B = .34, 95% CI [.24, .44], p < .001), and both the direct effect (B = .21, 95% CI [.11, .31], p < .001) and the total indirect effect through loneliness and marital conflict (B = .13, 95% bootstrap CI [.07, .19]) were significant. These findings suggest that lower perceived spousal support is associated with higher levels of loneliness and marital conflict, which, in turn, are associated with lower life satisfaction.
