Ruh sağlığı, ruh sağlığı uzmanları tarafından kapsamlı olarak araştırılan bir konudur. Bireylerin üretken bir yaşam sürebilmeleri için ruhsal iyilik hallerine öncelik vermeleri elzemdir. Bireyler hayatlarının herhangi bir aşamasında öngörülemeyen durumlarla, kapana kısılmış hissetmek gibi bir dizi duyguyla ve duygusal özdenetim gerektiren durumlarla karşılaşabilirler. Bir bireyin ruh sağlığı, zorlu koşullarla karşılaşmasına rağmen yüksek bir iyi olma halini sürdürme kapasitesine bağlıdır. Bu çalışma, belirsizliğe tahammülsüzlük ile mental iyi oluş arasındaki ilişkide duygu düzenleme güçlüğünün ve sıkışmışlık hissinin aracı rolünü incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Mevcut çalışmanın verileri 316 kadın ve 111 erkek olmak üzere 427 gönüllü katılımcıdan toplanmıştır. Aracılık analizi Yapısal Eşitlik Modellemesi (YEM) kullanılarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bulgulara göre, duygu düzenleme güçlüğü ve sıkışmışlık, belirsizliğe tahammülsüzlük ile mental iyi oluş arasında aracılık rolü üstlenmiştir. Modele göre, belirsizliğe tahammülsüzlük duygu düzenleme güçlüğü ve sıkışmışlık hissini olumlu olarak; duygu düzenleme güçlüğü ve sıkışmışlık hissi ise olumsuz olarak mental iyi oluşu yordamaktadır. Belirsizlik karşısında hoşgörülü olmanın, insanların duygularını kolayca düzenleyebilmelerini ve sıkışmış hissetmekten kaçınmalarını sağlayarak potansiyel olarak daha yüksek düzeyde mental iyi oluşa yol açtığı ileri sürülebilir.

The Serial Mediating Role of Difficulties in Emotion Regulation and Entrapment between Intolerance of Uncertainty and Mental Well-Being

Mental health is a subject that has been extensively researched by mental health experts. It is essential for individuals to give priority to their mental well-being in order to live productive lives. Individuals may face unforeseeable circumstances, a range of emotions, such as feeling trapped, and situations that demand emotional self-regulation at any stage of their lives. An individual's mental health is contingent upon their capacity to uphold a heightened state of well-being despite encountering challenging circumstances. The current study aims to look into the mediating role of difficulties in emotion regulation and entrapment in the relationship between intolerance of uncertainty and mental well-being. The current study's data were collected from 427 volunteer participants, including 316 women and 111 men. The mediation analysis was conducted using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). According to the findings, difficulties in emotion regulation and entrapment served as serial mediators between intolerance of uncertainty and mental well-being. The model posits that intolerance of uncertainty positively correlates with emotion dysregulation and a sense of being stuck, while both emotion dysregulation and feeling stuck negatively correlate with mental well-being. Tolerance of uncertainty may enhance mental well-being by facilitating emotional regulation and preventing feelings of stagnation.
