Abstract

Life satisfaction refers to whether or not an individual is satisfied with their overall life experience. In recent years, with the growing interest in positive psychology, researchers have focused on identifying the factors that influence life satisfaction. From this perspective, this study examined the mediating role of self-esteem in the relationship between university students’ internet altruism and their life satisfaction. The study sample consisted of 385 college students (204 women, 181 men). The “Internet Altruism Scale,” the “Life Satisfaction Scale,” and the “Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale” were used as data collection instruments in the study. The research model was designed according to Hayes PROCESS Macro Model 4. Pearson correlation analysis was used to determine the relationships between variables, and the SPSS Process Macro was used for mediation analysis. The results of the study revealed a moderate positive relationship between self-esteem and life satisfaction. A low-level positive relationship was found between internet altruism and self-esteem and life satisfaction. Furthermore, self-esteem was found to play a mediating role in the relationship between internet altruism and life satisfaction. The research results were interpreted from the perspective of the positive activation model. Based on the research findings, recommendations were presented for researchers and practitioners who will conduct future studies in this field.

Özet

Yaşam doyumu, bireyin genel olarak yaşam deneyiminden memnun olup olmama durumunu ifade eder. Son yıllarda pozitif psikolojiye ilişkin bakış açısının artmasıyla birlikte araştırmacılar yaşam doyumunu etkileyen faktörleri belirlemeye odaklanmıştır. Bu faktörlerden biri de internet özgeciliğidir. İnternet ortamında sergilenen özgeci davranışların yaşam doyumunu nasıl desteklediğinin ve bu süreçte etkili olabilecek bireysel özelliklerin belirlenmesi önem arz etmektedir. Bu açıdan, bu çalışmada üniversite öğrencilerinin internet özgeciliği ile yaşam doyumları arasındaki ilişkide benlik saygısının aracılık rolü incelenmiştir. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu 385 üniversite öğrencisi (204 kadın, 181 erkek) oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmada veri toplama aracı olarak “Kişisel Bilgi Formu”, “İnternet Özgeciliği Ölçeği”, “Yaşam Doyumu Ölçeği” ve “Rosenberg Benlik Saygısı” ölçekleri kullanılmıştır. Araştırma nicel araştırma türlerinden ilişkisel tarama modeli ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırma modeli Hayes, PROCESS Makro model 4’e göre tasarlanmıştır. Değişkenler arasındaki ilişkilerin belirlenmesi için Pearson korelasyon analizi; aracılık analizi için SPSS Process Macro kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda benlik saygısı ile yaşam doyumu arasında pozitif yönde orta düzeyde ilişki bulunmuştur. İnternet özgeciliği ile benlik saygısı ve yaşam doyumu arasında ise pozitif yönde düşük düzeyde ilişki bulunmuştur. Ayrıca benlik saygısının, internet özgeciliği ile yaşam doyumu arasındaki ilişkide aracılık rolü bulunmuştur. Araştırma sonuçları olumlu aktivasyon modeli açısından yorumlanmıştır. Araştırma bulgularından hareketle gelecekte bu alanda çalışma yapacak araştırmacı ve uygulayıcılara yönelik öneriler sunulmuştur.
