incelemektir. Araştırmada 240 son sınıf öğrencisine ulaşılmıştır. Araştırmada
öğrencilerin öznel iyi olma düzeyleri cinsiyete göre anlamlı bir farklılık

anlamlı bir farklılık göstermezken, ilişkili olma ihtiyacının doyumu kızların lehine
anlamlı bir farklılık göstermiştir. Araştırmada temel psikolojik ihtiyaçların
doyumunun, iyi olmanın önemli bir yordayıcısı olduğu bulunmuştur.
