Üniversite Öğrencilerinde Sanatsal Benlik Kavramının Bedensel Rahatsızlıklar Üzerindeki Etkisi

Bu araştırmada üniversite öğrencilerinde sanatsal benlik-kavramının bedensel rahatsızlıklar üzerindeki etkisi ve bu etkinin cinsiyete bağlı olarak değişip değişmediği incelenmiştir. Araştırma, Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi Hazırlık okuluna devam eden 415 (233 erkek,162 kız, 20 cinsiyet belirtmeyen) gönüllü öğrenci üzerinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırmada öğrencilerin sanatsal benlik-kavramları, Sanat Benlik-Kavramı Ölçeği (SBKÖ), bedensel rahatsızlıkları ise Bedensel Rahatsızlık Tarama Ölçeği (BRTÖ) ile ölçülmüştür. Verilerin analizinde öğrenciler SBKÖ’den aldıkları medyan puanına göre yüksek ve düşük sanatsal benlik-algısı gruplarına ayrılmış ve 2 (sanat benlik-algısı) X 2 (cinsiyet) varyans analizi uygulanmış; ayrıca öğrencilerin BRTÖ ve SBKÖ’den aldıkları puanlar arasındaki Pearson Momentler Çarpımı katsayıları da hesaplanmıştır. Sonuçlar sanatsal benlik-kavramının bedensel sağlık sorunları üzerinde anlamlı bir etkisinin bulunmadığını göstermiştir. Araştırmada ayrıca sanatsal benlik-algısı bakımından kız ve erkek öğrenciler arasında anlamlı bir fark bulunmazken, kız öğrencilerin erkek öğrencilerden anlamlı düzeyde daha fazla bedensel rahatsızlık rapor ettikleri bulunmuştur.

The Effect of Art Self-Concept on Physical Symptoms Among University Students

The present study was investigated the effect of art self-concept on physical symptoms among university students in terms of gender. Data were gathered from 415 (233 male, 162 female, 20 indicated no gender) volunteer students from Middle East Technical University Preparatory School. Art Self-Concept Scale (ASCS) and Physical Symptom Checklist (PSC) were administered to the sample. A median split technique was utilized to categorize those students who had higher art self-concept and lower art self-concept. Then, a 2 (art self-concept) X 2 (gender) univariate ANOVA was employed to the physical symptom scores of the participants. In addition Pearson Product Correlation coefficient between ASCS and PSC scores was calculated. Results indicated no significant effect of art self-concept on physical symptoms. Results also indicated no significant differences between the art self-concept scores of males and females, however, females reported significantly higher physical symptoms then males.
