Abstract

Bu çalışmada, beliren yetişkinlerde affediciliğin yordanmasına yönelik bir model geliştirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Önerilen hipotez modelde, psikolojik dayanıklılık ve affedicilik arasındaki ilişkide bilişsel kontrol/esnekliğin paralel çoklu aracılığı test edilmiştir. Araştırma, Akdeniz Bölgesi’ndeki bir devlet üniversitesinde eğitim alan 354 öğrenci üzerinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Katılımcıların 141’i (%40) Eğitim Fakültesi’nin çeşitli bölümlerinde lisans eğitimi alan öğrencilerden, 213’ü (% 60) pedagojik formasyon eğitimi alan öğrencilerden oluşmaktadır. Katılımcıların 142’si (% 40.1) kadın, 184’ü (% 52) erkektir. 28 kişi (%7.9) cinsiyetini belirtmemiştir. Katılımcıların yaş ortalamaları 22.79’dur (SS: 4.20). Verilerin toplanmasında Ego-Dayanıklılık Ölçeği, Bilişsel Kontrol/Esneklik Ölçeği ve Heartland Affedicilik Ölçeği; verilerin analizinde betimsel istatistikler, Pearson korelasyon katsayısı ve aracılık analizleri kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen bulgular, psikolojik dayanıklılık, affedicilik, bilişsel kontrol/esneklik değişkenleri arasında pozitif yönde anlamlı ilişkiler olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Aracılık etkisi için yapılan analizde ise psikolojik dayanıklılık ile affedicilik arasında bilişsel kontrol/esnekliğin paralel çoklu aracılığı istatistiksel açıdan anlamlı bulunmuştur. Çalışmanın bulgular ışığında, psikolojik dayanıklılığa sahip bireylerin olumsuz duygu ve düşüncelerini kontrol edebilme, bunları yönetebilme ve alternatif başa çıkma stratejileri oluşturabilme becerisine sahip olduğu, ve bu özellikleri sayesinde daha fazla affedici oldukları söylenebilir.

Ego-Resiliency and Forgiveness in Emerging Adults: The Parallel Multiple Mediation of Cognitive Control/Flexibility

Abstract

This study was designed to develop a model for predicting forgiveness in emerging adults. The parallel multiple mediation of cognitive control/flexibility was tested in the relationship between ego-resiliency and forgiveness in the hypothesized model. The study was carried out with 354 students who were recruited from a state university in the Mediterranean Region. Of the 354 participants 141 (40%) were students who received undergraduate education in various departments of the Faculty of Education, 213 (60%) were students who received pedagogical training. 142 (40.1%) of the participants were female and 184 (52%) were male. 28 participants (7.9%) did not declare gender. The mean age of the participants was 22.79 (SD: 4.20). Ego-Resiliency Scale, Cognitive Control/Flexibility Questionnaire, and Heartland Forgiveness Scale were used to collect data. Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation coefficient, and mediation analysis were used in the study. The findings revealed that there were positive relationships among ego-resiliency, forgiveness and cognitive control/flexibility. In the analysis for the mediating effect, the parallel multiple mediation of cognitive control/flexibility in the relationship between ego-resiliency and forgiveness was found to be statistically significant. In the light of the findings of the study, it can be said that individuals with psychological resilience have the ability to control their negative emotions and thoughts, manage them, and create alternative coping strategies, and thanks to these features, they are more forgiving.
