Bu çalışmada ontolojik iyi oluş (yaşam projesi), yaşam amacı, duygusal iyi oluş ve duyarlı sevgi arasındaki ilişki ele alınmıştır. 287 lisans, yüksek lisans ve doktora öğrencisi ile gerçekleştirilen çalışmada Yaşamdaki Amaç Ölçeği, Duygusal İyi Oluş Ölçeği, Ontolojik İyi Oluş Ölçeği ile Duyarlı Sevgi Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Kümeleme analizleri üç faktörlü bir profilin olduğunu göstermektedir. Birinci profilde yüksek umut ve eyleme geçmeye karşı, düşük pişmanlık ve hiçlik durumu (Gelecek Yönelimli Profil) söz konusudur. İkincisinde düşük umut ve eyleme geçmeye karşılık yüksek pişmanlık ve hiçlik duygusu (Kaybeden Profil) yaşanmaktadır. Son profilde orta düzeyde ontolojik iyi oluş sergilenmektedir (Dengeli Profil). Bu üç profil MANOVA analizleriyle karşılaştırılmıştır ve üç profil arasındaki farklar incelendiğinde Duygusal İyi Oluş, Yaşam Amacı ve Duyarlı Sevgi puanları arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılık bulunmuştur. Çalışmanın sonuçları umut ve eyleme geçme boyutlarında yüksek ontolojik iyi oluş sergilemenin, yaşam amacı, duygusal iyi oluş ve duyarlı sevgi ile ilişkili olduğunu göstermiştir.

Ontological Wellbeing of University Students: A Cluster-Analysis Approach

Öz

This study is focused on the relationship between purpose in life, emotional wellbeing, ontological (life project) wellbeing, and compassionate love. The Purpose in Life subscale of Psychological Well-Being Scale, Emotional Wellbeing Scale, Ontological Wellbeing Scale, and Compassionate Love for Humanity Scale were administered to 287 students who were undergraduate students and graduate students (masters and doctoral). Cluster analysis results indicated profıles of three factors. First profile showed high level of hope and come into action toward low regret and nothingness. High regret and nothingness were experienced toward low level of hope and come into action on the second profile. Moderate ontological wellbeing was exposed on the last profile. MANOVA analyses were used to compare those three profiles and statistically significant difference were found between Emotional Wellbeing, Purpose in Life, and Compassionate Love Scores. Moreover, the results of the study indicated that exposing high level of ontological wellbeing on hope and come into action is related to life goals, emotional wellbeing, and compassionate love.
