EXAMINE THE RELATION BETWEEN PSYCHOLOGICAL WELLBEING AND VALUES IN TEACHER CANDIDATES

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between psychological well-being and values in teacher candidates. The study was based on descriptive method. The sample of this study consisted of 260 teacher candidates attending Dokuz Eylül University, Buca Faculty of Education during the 2011-2012 academic period. Among the participants, 72% were female (n=188) and 28 % were male (n=72). The data were collected by means of the Psychological Wellbeing Scale, the Portre Values Scale and a Personal Information Form developed by the researchers. In the analyses, both multiple linear regression and Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient techniques were used. These statistical analyses of the research were performed with the help of SPSS 16.0 software. The results of this study showed that there was a meaningful relationship between psychological well-being and the values of achievement, hedonism, self-direction, universalism, benevolence, conformity and security; however, no relationship was found between psychological well-being and power, stimulation and traditional values. The multiple linear regression analysis showed that power, achievement, hedonism, stimulation, selfdirection, universalism, benevolence, tradition, conformity and security values explained 20% of psychological well-being. It was also found that hedonism and universalism values predicted psychological well-being. When values are examined in a dimensional context it can be said that openness to change, self-enhancement, self-transcendence and conservation dimensions explained 16% of psychological well-being. Statistical analyses showed that the self-transcendence dimension was a meaningful predictor of psychological well-being. To sum up, it can be said that having some values increases the psychological well-being of teacher candidates
