Investigating the subjective factors related to the need for psychological help of the college students
Özet
In this study, it is aimed to
analyze the relations of the factors such as the learned resourcefulness,
self-efficacy, self-regulation and subjective well-being which are thought to
affect the needs of the university students for psychological help and to
determine if the subjective well-being mediates other factors in the prediction
of the needs of the university students for psychological help. The population
of the study is formed of undergraduates who get education in 16 faculties in
the central campus of the University of Atatürk in the spring term of 2012-2013
academic years. The sample of the study is formed of 1205 undergraduates
(female=666, 55,3 %; male=539, 44,7 %; average of age =21,49; Sd=2,18) selected
from the mentioned universe by convenience sampling method. “Need for
Psychological Help Scale” has been developed as a part of the study to determine
the needs for psychological help. “Short Self-Regulation Questionnaire” has
been adapted into Turkish to determine the self-regulation skills. Apart from
these, Rosenbaum’s Learned Resourcefulness Scale, General Self-Efficacy Scale
and to determine subjective well-being; Satisfaction with Life Scale and
Positive and Negative Affect Scale have been used within the study. SPSS 22.0
and LISREL 9.1 have been used in the analysis of the data. Pearson
product-moment correlation, descriptive analysis, factor analysis and path
analysis to test the research hypothesis has been used in the study. According
to obtained data, the learned resourcefulness factor does not predict the
subjective well-being; however, it highly predicts the selfregulation and
self-efficacy factors. It has been determined that the self-regulation and
self-efficacy factors predict the subjective well-being in a positive way and
medium level, and subjective well-being mediates self-regulation and
self-efficacy factors to predict the needs for psychological help. It was also
determined that subjective well-being predicts the needs for psychological help
in a negative way and fair level. All these results have been discussed in
terms of the related theories and literature, and several suggestions have been
made.<o:p></o:p>
