Bu araştırma, üniversite öğrencilerinde beden imgesini; işlevsel olmayan tutumlar, algılanan ebeveyn tutumları, sosyal karşılaştırma yönelimi ve cinsiyetin nasıl yordadığını ortaya koymayı amaçlayan ilişkisel tarama türünde nicel bir araştırmadır. Araştırmanın çalışma grubu, bir devlet üniversitesinde 2018-2019 güz döneminde örgün öğrenim gören 442 (%63.3) kadın ve 256 (36.7) erkek olmak üzere toplam 698 üniversite öğrencisinden oluşmaktadır. Çalışmada veri toplama araçları olarak Çok Yönlü Beden-Self İlişkileri Ölçeği, Fonksiyonel Olmayan Tutumlar Ölçeği, Kısaltılmış Algılanan Ebeveyn Tutumları Ölçeği, Iowa-Netherlands Sosyal Karşılaştırma Yönelimi Ölçeği ve Kişisel Bilgi Formu kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde betimsel istatistikler, Pearson Korelasyon Analizi ve Aşamalı (Adımsal) Regresyon Analizi kullanılmış ve önem düzeyi p<0.05 olarak kabul edilmiştir. Ayrıca çalışmada, cinsiyet değişkeni dummy değişken (kadın=1) olarak kodlanmış ve bağımsız değişken olarak analizlere dahil edilmiştir. Araştırmada, anne duygusal sıcaklık tutumu, sosyal karşılaştırma yönelimi, cinsiyet (kadın) ve işlevsel olmayan tutum değişkenlerinin, üniversite öğrencilerinde beden imgesinin anlamlı yordayıcıları olduğu bulunmuştur. Bu çerçevede, bireylerin anne duygusal sıcaklık tutumu ve sosyal karşılaştırma yönelimlerinin artması, işlevsel olmayan tutumlarının ise azalması durumunda, beden imgelerinin daha olumlu bir hale geldiği ortaya çıkmıştır. Cinsiyet değişkeni ele alındığında ise kadın öğrencilerin beden imgelerinin, erkek öğrencilere göre anlamlı biçimde daha olumsuz olduğu belirlenmiştir. Bu doğrultuda anne tutumları, işlevsel olmayan tutum, sosyal karşılaştırma ve cinsiyet değişkenlerinin, üniversite öğrencilerinin beden imgesi üzerinde önemli bir rolü olduğu belirtilebilir.

Öz

This research is a quantitative and relational screening study aimed at revealing body image, dysfunctional attitudes, perceived parental attitudes, social comparison orientation and gender in university students. The group of study consisted of a total of 698 university students, 442 (%63.3) females and 256 (%36.7) males, who attended formal education in a state university in the fall term of 2018-2019. In order to collect the data of research, Multidimensional Body-Self Relationship Scale, Non-Functional Attitudes Scale, Abbreviated Perceived Parental Attitudes Scale, Iowa-Netherlands Social Comparison Orientation Scale and Personal Information Form were used. Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation analysis and stepwise regression analysis were used in the analysis of the data and the significance level was accepted as p<0.05. In addition, gender variable was coded as dummy variable (female=1) and included as independent variable. In the study, it was found that maternal emotional warmth attitude, social comparison orientation, gender (female) and dysfunctional attitude variables were significant predictors of body image in university students, respectively. In this context, it is revealed that body images become more positive if individuals' emotional warmth and social orientation tendencies increase and dysfunctional attitudes decrease. When the gender variable is taken into consideration, it is determined that body images of female students are significantly more negative than male students. In this respect, it can be stated that maternal attitudes, dysfunctional attitudes, social comparison and gender variables have an important role on the body image of university students.
