Abstract

Bu araştırmanın amacı affediciliğin mizah yoluyla başa
çıkma ile mental iyi oluş arasındaki aracılık rolünü incelemektir. Araştırmaya
336 (202 kadın, 134 erkek) üniversite öğrencisi katılmıştır. Araştırmanın
verileri iki aşamalı yapısal eşitlik modellemesi ve bootstrapping işlemi ile
analiz edilmiştir. Araştırmanın sonuçları mizah yoluyla başa çıkma ile mental
iyi oluş arasındaki ilişkide affediciliğin kısmi aracı olduğunu ortaya
koymuştur (χ²/sd = 1.84, CFI = .97, IFI = .97, GFI = .97, AGFI =
.95, RMSEA = .05 ve SRMR = .035). Bootstrapping işleminde affediciliğin mizah
yoluyla başa çıkma ile mental iyi oluş arasındaki aracılığının anlamlı olduğu
saptanmıştır.

The Mediating Role of Forgiveness in the Relationship between Coping Humor and Mental Well-being

Abstract

The aim of this study is to examine mediating role of
forgiveness in the relationship between coping humor and mental well-being.
Participant were 336 university students (202 females and 134 males). The
mediation role of forgiveness was tested using the two-step structural equation
analysis procedure. The results showed that forgiveness partially mediated the
relationship between coping humor and mental well-being (χ2/df = 1.84, CFI =
.97, IFI = .97, GFI = .97, AGFI = .95, RMSEA = .05, and SRMR = .035). The indirect
role involving forgiveness as the predictor was statistically significant.
