Psikolojik dayanıklılık ve kaygı arasındaki ilişkide üstbilişler ve başa çıkma yollarının durumsal aracılık rolü

Bu araştırmanın amaçlarından biri kaygı, psikolojik dayanıklılık, başa çıkma yolları ve patolojik üstbilişler arasındaki ilişkileri incelemektir. Araştırmanın ikinci amacı ise psikolojik dayanıklılık ve kaygı arasındaki ilişkide patolojik üstbilişlerin ve başa çıkma yollarının durumsal aracılık rollerini değerlendirmektir. Çalışma kapsamında 18-65 yaşları arasında 292’si kadın (%65.6), 153’ü erkek (%34.4) toplam 445 kişiden veri toplanmıştır. Katılımcılara, Demografik Bilgi Formu, Durumluk-Sürekli Kaygı Envanteri, Yetişkinler için Psikolojik Dayanıklılık Ölçeği, Başa Çıkma Yolları Envanteri ve ÜstBiliş Ölçeği-30 uygulanmıştır. Kaygı, psikolojik dayanıklılık, başa çıkma yolları ve patolojik üstbilişler arasındaki ilişkileri değerlendirmek için korelasyon analizi, değişkenlerin kaygıyı yordama güçlerini görmek için hiyerarşik regresyon analizi ve patolojik üstbilişler ile başa çıkma yollarının durumsal aracılık rollerini değerlendirmek için durumsal aracılık analizi yapılmıştır. Korelasyon analizine göre patolojik üstbilişler ve başa çıkma yolları arasında istatistiksel açıdan anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmamıştır. Diğer ilişkilere ait korelasyon katsayılarının .10 ile .61 arasında değiştiği görülmektedir. Regresyon analizine göre psikolojik dayanıklılık, patolojik üstbilişler ve başa çıkma yolları değişkenleri kaygıya ait varyansın %58’ini açıklamaktadır. Son olarak patolojik üstbilişlerin, psikolojik dayanıklılık ve kaygı arasındaki ilişkiye aracılık ettiği ve bu aracılık ilişkisinde duygusal başa çıkmanın düzenleyici rolünün olduğu görülmektedir. Mevcut çalışmanın sonuçlarına bir bütün olarak bakıldığında psikolojik dayanıklılığın, üstbilişsel süreçlerin ve başa çıkma yollarının kaygının önemli açıklayıcıları oldukları ve özellikle terapötik müdahalelerde söz konusu değişkenlerin çalışılmasının önemli olabileceği söylenebilir.

The moderated mediation role of metacognitions and ways of coping in the relationship between psychological resilience and anxiety

One of the purposes of this study was to examine the relationships between anxiety, psychological resilience, ways of coping, and pathological metacognition. The second purpose was to evaluate the moderated mediating role of pathological metacognition and ways of coping in the relationship between psychological resilience and anxiety. Within the scope of the study, data was collected from 445 individuals of whom 292 (65.6%) were females and 153 (34.4%) were males. The participants completed Demographic Information Form, the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, the Resilience Scale for Adults, the Ways of Coping Inventory and the Metacognitions Questionnaire-30. Correlation analyses were conducted to evaluate the relationships between anxiety, psychological resilience, ways of coping, and pathological metacognitions; hierarchical regression analyses were conducted to see the predictive power of the variables on anxiety and moderated mediation analyses were conducted to evaluate the moderated mediator roles of pathological metacognitions and ways of coping. According to the correlation analyses, there was no statistically significant relationship between pathological metacognitions and ways of coping. Correlation coefficients related to other relationships ranged between .10 and .61. According to the regression results psychological resilience, pathological metacognitions, and ways of coping explained 58% of the variance of anxiety. Finally, the findings indicated that pathological metacognitions had a mediating role in the relationship between psychological resilience and anxiety, and that emotional coping moderated this mediation. Taking all the findings of the current study together, it can be argued that psychological resilience, pathological metacognitions, and ways of coping are important factors in explaining anxiety and that working on these variables especially in a therapeutical context can be beneficial.
