Üniversite öğrencilerinde suçluluk ve affetme arasındaki ilişkiler

Amaç: Suçluluk, kişilerin kendi davranışlarına olumsuz atıflarından kaynaklanan bir öz-bilinç duygu- su olarak tanımlanır. Suçluluk duygusuna sahip kişilerin daha az affedici oldukları gözlenmektedir. Affetmenin farklı türleri vardır. Suçluluğun kendini affetme durumu üzerinde, başkalarını ve du- rumları affetme durumundan daha güçlü bir etkiye sahip olması beklenmektedir. Bu çalışmada bir grup üniversite öğrencisinde suçluluk duygusu ve affetme türleri arasındaki ilişkilerin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Yöntemler: Araştırma ilişkisel tarama modelindedir. Araştırma verileri 2018 yılında Türkiye’de öğre- nim gören 604 üniversite öğrencisinden toplanmıştır. Analiz varsayımlarının sağlandığı doğrulan- dıktan sonra, suçluluk ile affetme türleri arasındaki ilişkiler, Pearson korelasyonları ve yol (doğrusal regresyon) analizleri aracılığıyla incelenmiştir. Bulgular: Tüm araştırma değişkenleri arasında .01 düzeyinde istatistiksel açıdan anlamlı ilişkiler bu- lunmuştur. Yol analizleri sonucunda suçluluk duygusunun affetmeyi ve affetmenin tüm alt boyut- larını istatistiksel açıdan anlamlı düzeyde (p

Relationships between guilt and forgiveness in university students

Aim: Guilt is defined as a self-conscious emotion generated from negative attributions of own behaviors. It is observed that people with guilt are less forgiving.
