• SOCIAL SUPPORT AND WELLNESS AS PREDICTORS OF PSYCHOLOGICAL SYMPTOMS Türkan DOĞAN*
• The above works introduce a theoretical framework which suggests that psychological
• healthiness/unhealthiness is related to multiple factors,
• however, there are no studies which investigate the
• relation between social support and wellness. This
• study inquires whether the level of support from family
• and friends and wellness (spirituality, self-direction,
• leisure, friendship, and love) predict the psychological
• symptoms (somatization, depression, anxiety, hostility)
• of university students.
• The sample of the study consisted of 254 university students (208 female, 46 male) from Baskent University. The “Brief Symptoms Inventory–Turkish Form (KSE)”, The “Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS)”, The “Wellness Evaluation of Lifestyle (WEL)–Turkish Form (İHÖ)” were used to collect data. The data were analyzed by Regression analysis.
• According to the results of the regression analysis family support was found to be the best predictor for somatization followed by self-direction and love. Depression symptoms were best predicted by self- direction, then by family support and friendship variables. The best variables for prediction of the anxiety symptoms were found to be self-direction, followed by family support. For hostility symptoms, the family support and the self-direction variables were observed the most significant predictors.
• Regression analysis has shown that “family support” is an important variable in predicting the psychological symptoms. This result is consistent with the results from studies of İmamoğlu and Yasak- Gültekin (1993), Güngör (1996), Canetti and Bachar (1997), Wentzel (1998) and Bayram (1999). There are also other studies in the literature (Chou, 1999; Juang and Silbereisen, 1999) which show significant relation between depression and support from family and friends further corroborating the results of this study.
