The Role of Perceived Stress in the Relationship Between School-Based Loneliness and Satisfaction with Life in Children

The aim of this study is to examine the mediating role of perceived stress among school-based loneliness and life satis-faction in children. In this direction, 199 (50.5%) girls and 193 (49%) boys were 392 grade 4 students. Data were obtained by using the School Based Loneliness Scale in Children, Life Satisfaction Scale for Children and Perceived Stress Child Form and Personal Information Form. In the analysis of the data ; Pearson analysis, Independent Groups T test, Tool variable analysis and Bootstrap Analysis were used. According to the findings, there was a negative correlation between life satisfaction and perceived stress; there was a negative corre-lation between school-based loneliness and life satisfaction scores, and a significant positive correlation between perceived stress and school-based loneliness. According to the results of the study, the partial mediating role of perceived stress between school-based loneliness and life satisfaction is statistically significant. In future researches, different variables can be handled in different age groups. Psychoeducation programs can be developed by researching students' school-based loneliness and possible sources of stress.
