Psychological well-being is associated with a fulfilling life that many people strive to achieve, and the psychology literature continues to expand on the determinants of psychological well-being. This study aimed to examine the role of health anxiety, difficulty in emotion regulation, and health locus of control on psychological well-being. The study sample comprised 510 adults aged 18-53 (Mage = 32.48, SDage = 6.9). 475 participants (93.13%) were women, and 35 were men (6.87%). The participants were reached by social media channels on the Internet (Twitter, Instagram). Correlations between the subscales were examined separately for male and female participants. The results differed in terms of gender. Hierarchical regression analysis was conducted to determine some predictors of psychological well-being, and contrary to expectations, the results showed that health locus of control and gender did not make a significant contribution to the regression model. Health anxiety and difficulty in emotion regulation made significant contributions to the regression model, and the last model estimated 30.1% of psychological well-being. Results were discussed in the light of the related literature.

Psikolojik İyi Oluşu Belirleyen Bazı Faktörler: Sağlık Kaygısı, Duygu Düzenleme Güçlüğü ve Sağlık Kontrol Odağı

Öz

Psikolojik iyi oluş, pek çok insanın erişmeye çalıştığı doyumlu bir yaşamla ilişkilendirilmekte ve psikoloji alanyazını da iyi oluşun belirleyicileri üzerinde genişlemeye devam etmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, psikolojik iyi oluş üzerinde sağlık kaygısı, duygu düzenleme güçlüğü ve sağlık kontrol odağının rolünün incelenmesidir. Çalışmanın örneklemini 18-53 yaş aralığındaki (Ortyaş = 32.48, SSyaş = 6.9) 490 yetişkin oluşturmuştur. Katılımcılara çevrimiçi olarak sosyal medya platformları (Twitter, Instagram vb.) aracılığı ile ulaşılmıştır. Katılımcıların 475’i (%93.13) kadın, 35’i erkek (%6.87)’tir. Ölçeklerin alt boyutları arasındaki korelasyonlar kadın ve erkek katılımcılar için ayrı ayrı incelenmiştir. Kadın ve erkek katılımcılar için sonuçların farklılaştığı görülmüştür. Psikolojik iyi oluşun bazı yordayıcılarını belirlemek üzere hiyerarşik regresyon analizi yürütülmüş ve sonuçlar sağlık kontrol odağının ve cinsiyetin beklenenin aksine regresyon modeline anlamlı bir katkı yapmadığına işaret etmiştir. Sağlık kaygısı ve duygu düzenleme güçlüğü ise regresyon modeline anlamlı katkılar sunmuş ve son adımda oluşturulan model psikolojik iyi oluşun %30.1’ini yordamıştır. Elde edilen bulgular ilgili alanyazın çerçevesinde tartışılmıştır.
