Abstract
The main purpose of this study is to investigate the relationships between psychological resilience, perception of self-efficacy and hopelessness. In this context, it is aimed to examine the mediating role of self-efficacy between resilience and hopelessness. For this purpose, the data were collected online from 362 volunteer participants (217 female, 145 male) by using snowball sampling method. In accordance with the scope of the study, a questionnaire consisting of 'Demographic Information Form', 'Beck Hopelessness Scale', 'Short Psychological Resilience Scale' and 'General Self-Efficacy Scale' were applied to the participants. Firstly, the assumptions of normality and homogeneity were tested for the analyzes to be carried out on the obtained data. In order to test the statistical significance of the proposed mediation model, the Bootstrapping Method was used through the software developed by Hayes. Obtained results showed that psychological resilience was significantly and negatively related to hopelessness; but positively related to self-efficacy. In fact, self-efficacy perception was found to be negatively related to hopelessness. Lastly, according to the analyzes carried out within the framework of mediation models, it was found that self-efficacy had a mediation role in the relationship between psychological resilience and hopelessness. All findings were discussed within the framework of the related literature.
