Üniversite Öğrencilerinde Psikolojik İyi Oluş ile Ayrışma-Bireyleşme

Çalışmanın amacı: Modern dünyada teknolojik gelişmelerin hızlı bir ivme kazanmasıyla birlikte, insanların bağımsız bir hayatyaşama isteklerinde önemli bir artış olduğu açık bir gerçektir. Bu yüzden insanların ayrışmış/bireyleşmiş olmaları ile psikolojikiyi oluş arasındaki ilişkinin ne olduğunun araştırılması önemli bir problem alanı olduğu düşünülmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı üniversite öğrencilerinin psikolojik iyi oluş düzeyleri ile ayrışma-bireyleşme düzeyleri arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemektir Materyal ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya yaşları 18 ile 26 arasında değişen (M=21.35, SD=10.50), 285 üniversite öğrencisi (kız=180,erkek=105, 1.sınıf 170, 2. sınıf 115) katılmıştır. Katılımcılardan elde edilen veriler, bağımsız t testi, ANOVA, Pearson ÇarpımMomentler Korelasyon ve Basit Doğrusal Regresyon aracılığıyla analiz edilmiştir. Bulgular: Elde edilen sonuçlara göre üniversite öğrencilerinin psikolojik iyi oluş puanları ile ayrışma-bireyleşme düzeyleriarasında anlamlı ve negatif bir ilişki bulunmuştur. Ayrıca psikolojik iyi oluş ölçeği, ayrışma-bireyleşmenin %0.23’ni yordadığıtespit edilmiştir. Öğrencilerin ayrışma-bireyleşme düzeyleri yükseldikçe, psikolojik iyi oluşlarında düşüş olduğu saptanmıştır.Öte yandan öğrencilerin cinsiyet değişkenine göre ayrışma-bireyleşme puanları anlamlı çıkmazken, psikolojik iyi oluş puanlarıanlamlı çıkmıştır. Sınıf düzeyi değişkenine göre ise, ayrışma-bireyleşme puanları anlamlı olduğu, psikolojik iyi oluş puanlarınınanlamlı olmadığı saptanmıştır. Önemli Vurgular: Sağlıklı bir ayrışma-bireyleşme, öğrencilerin psikolojik iyi oluşlarını olumlu yönde güçlendirmektedir.Çalışmanın sonuçları ilgili literatür çerçevesinde tartışılmış ve yeni çalışmalar için araştırmacılara öneriler sunulmuştur.

Purpose: In this modern world, a significant increase in people’s wish to lead on an independent life has been a plain truthsince technological advancements have gained acceleration. Hence, it is thought that searching the relation betweenseparation/individuation and psychological well-being of people is an important problem field. The purpose of this study is toinvestigate the relation between well-being levels and separation/individuation levels of university students. Design/Methodology/Approach: In terms of participants, 285 University students (female=180, male=105; 1st yearstudents=170, 2nd year students=115) whose ages are in the range from 18 to26 (M=21.35, SD =2.50) participated in the study.The data obtained from the participants were analyzed through independent t-test, ANOVA, Pearson Product MomentsCorrelation and Simple Linear Regression. Findings: According to the results obtained, a significant and negative relationship was found between the psychological well being scores of university students and their levels of separation-individuation. Besides, the psychological well-being scoreswas determined to predict 0.23% of separation-individuation. As the levels of separation-individuation of students increased,psychological well-being decreased. On the other hand, while the separation-individuation scores of the students were notsignificant according to the gender variable, the psychological well-being scores were significant. According to the class levelvariable, the scores of separation-individuation were found to be significant, while psychological well-being scores were not. Highlights: A healthy separation-individuation strengthens students' psychological well-being positively. The results of thestudy were discussed within the framework of the relevant literature and suggestions were presented to the researchers fornew studies.
