The specific objective of this study was to examine the relationships between adolescent-parent relationship, emotion dysregulation, and happiness. Participants were 338 high school students (155 female [45.9%], 183 males [54.1%]) aged between 14 and 18 years. The data collected for the study was analyzed with Structural Equation Modeling. The results revealed that adolescent-parent relationship significantly predicted happiness and emotion dysregulation. Emotion dysregulation is also another predictor of happiness. The study examined indirect correlations between factors. As a result of the analysis, it was found that adolescent-parent relationship predicts happiness through emotion dysregulation. The variables within the structural model account for around half of the variance in happiness.

Öz

Bu çalışmada ergen ebeveyn ilişkisi, duygu düzenleme güçlüğü ve mutluluk arasındaki ilişkilerin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Araştırma grubu yaşları 14 ile 18 arasında değişen 338 lise öğrencisinden (155 kız [%45,9], 183 erkek [%54,1]) oluşmaktadır. Araştırma kapsamında toplanan veriler Yapısal Eşitlik Modellemesi ile analiz edilmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda ergen ebeveyn ilişkisinin mutluluğu ve duygu düzenleme güçlüğünü anlamlı düzeyde yordadığı bulunmuştur. Duygu düzenleme güçlüğü de mutluluğun bir diğer yordayıcısıdır. Araştırmada değişkenler arasındaki dolaylı ilişkiler incelenmiştir. İnceleme sonucunda ergen ebeveyn ilişkisinin duygu düzenleme güçlüğü aracılığıyla mutluluğu yordadığı bulunmuştur. Yapısal model içerisindeki değişkenler mutluluğa ilişkin varyansın yaklaşık yarısını açıklamaktadır.
