Alçakgönüllülük İnsanın İyi Hissetmesini Sağlayabilir mi? Alçakgönüllülük, Psikolojik İyi Olma ve Öznel İyi Olma Arasındaki İlişki

Pozitif psikoloji hareketiyle birlikte insanın güçlü yanını temsil eden erdemler yoğun bir şekilde araştırılmaya başlanmıştır. Ancak erdemler içerisinde her ne kadar alçakgönüllülük uzun yıllardır düşünülüp taşınılsa da ampirik araştırmalara yeni yeni konu olmaktadır. Pozitif psikoloji yaklaşımı çerçevesinde gelişen ve alçakgönüllülük erdeminin odağını oluşturduğu bu araştırmada alçakgönüllülükle psikolojik iyi olma ve öznel iyi olmanın göstergesi olan yaşam doyumu arasındaki ilişki ve etkileşim araştırılmaktadır. Araştırma kapsamında ayrıca bireylerin alçakgönüllülük düzeyleriyle bazı olgusal nitelikleri arasında anlamlı bir ilişki olup olmadığı incelenmektedir. Araştırmanın katılımcılarını seçkisiz örnekleme yöntemiyle seçilmiş 2404 üniversite öğrencisi oluşturmaktadır. Araştırma sonucunda her ne kadar alçakgönüllülükle psikolojik iyi olma ve öznel iyi olma arasında pozitif anlamlı ilişkiler tespit edilse de alçakgönüllülüğün psikolojik iyi olma ile olan ilişkilerinin, sübjektif iyi olma ile olan ilişkilerinden daha olumlu ve güçlü olduğu görülmektedir. Bu bulgulara ek olarak alçakgönüllülük düzeyi ile genel sağlık durumu arasında pozitif bir ilişki olduğu belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca olgusal nitelikler kapsamında kadınların erkelere göre daha mütevazı olma eğiliminde olduğu görülmüştür. Bunlara karşın öğrenim görülen sınıf seviyesi arttıkça alçakgönüllülük düzeyinin düştüğü tespit edilmiştir.
