Bazi Sosyo Demografik Faktörlerin Ve Kişinin Sahip Olduğunu Düşündüğü İngilizce Bilgi Ve Yetisinin Sosyal Benlik Saygisi İle Olan İlişkisi

Öz: Bu makale bazı sosyo demografik etmenlerin cinsiyet, ailenin aylık geliri, aile büyüklüğü, katılımcıların sosyal kulüp üyelik sayıları ve katılımcıların kendileri hakkında beyan ettikleri İngilizce bilgisi yetileri sosyal benlik saygısı üzerine olan etkilerini ele almıştır. Sosyal benlik saygısı, kişinin kendine verdiği değer duygusuyla ilgili alana özgü bir durumdur. Sosyal psikoloji ve kişilikle içiçe olsa da sosyoloji ve eğitim bilimleriyle de yakından ilgili bir kuramdır. Öğrencilerin kendileri ile ilgili beyan ettikleri İngilizce bilgileri yetileri özellikle kişisel değer-lendirme ile ilgili olanlar onların üstbiliş fonksiyonlarının so-nuçlarıdır. Bu çalışmaya 228'i kız ve 174'ü erkek olmak üzere toplamda 402 üniversite ve kolej öğrencisi katılmıştır ortalama yaş=18.24, yaş standard sapması=1.80 . Sonuçlar, katılımcıların sosyal benlik saygısı düzeyleri ile aile büyüklükleri, sosyal kulüp üyelikleri sayısı ve İngilizce bilgi düzeyleri ile ilgili kişisel düşünceleri arasında pozitif, makul ve istatistik olarak anlamlı bir ilişki olduğu yönündedir. Aile büyüklüğü, sosyal klüp üyeliği sayısına nazaran sosyal benlik saygısının daha iyi bir göstergesi olarak görülmüş ve regresyon modeli istatik olarak anlamlı çıkmıştır. Ailesinin büyüklüğü ve üye olunan sosyal kulüp sayıları ve katılımcıların İngilizce bilgi düzeyleri hakkındaki kişisel düşünceleri yüksek öz güven, cesaret ve yeterlik ile ilgilidir. Bu sonuçlar nezdinde tavsiyelerde bulunulmuş ve bu alanda ilerde çalışılabilecek konular belirtilmiş, çalışmaya olabilecek katkılar ve sınırlamalar yer almıştır.

The Relationship of Some Sociodemographics and Self-Reported English Knowledge/Skills with Social Self-Esteem

Abstract: This article deals with the impact of several sociodemographic factors gender, family income per month, family size, and a number of social clubs of which participants were members and self-reported level of English knowledge/skills on social-self esteem. 402 university and high school students participated this study mean age = 18.24, SD = 1.89 . There were 228 females and 174 males. The results revealed a positive, moderate relationship of family size, number of social clubs and self-reported level of English knowledge/skills with participants' levels of social self-esteem. Family size was the better predictor of social self-esteem compared to the number of social clubs. Lots of family members, a great number of social clubs and positive evaluation of one's own English knowledge/skills were related to high levels of social self-esteem. The possible implications of these results were discussed and directions for further research were stated.
