Abstract

The aim of the study is to test whether self-compassion, depressive affect and sex predict body image of university students. The study group consisted of 230 participants (77.4% women and 22.6% men) who continued their undergraduate education at a large university located in Ankara. "Body Image Scale", “Self-Compassion Scale”, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale’s “D-5: Depressive Affection” dimension and "Personal Information Form” were used as data collection tools. This study was a quantitative correlational research. Whether or not self-compassion, depressive affection and sex predicts body perception were investigated with 3 models by using stepwise linear regression analysis. All the three models were found to be meaningful, and according to findings, self-compassion, depressive affection, and sex together explained approximately 37% of the variance of body image. The strongest predictor of body image is self-compassion. The findings of this study is considered important in terms of revealing the variables that effect university students’ body image in Turkey.

Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı üniversite öğrencilerinde öz-şefkat, depresif duygulanım ve cinsiyetin beden imajı yordayıp yordamadığının test edilmesidir. Araştırmanın çalışma grubu Ankara’da bulunan büyük bir üniversitede lisans düzeyinde eğitimini sürdüren 230 katılımcıdan (%77.4’ü kadın ve %22.6’sı erkek) oluşmaktadır. Veri toplama araçları olarak “Beden İmajı Ölçeği”, “Öz-Anlayış Ölçeği”, Rosenberg Benlik Saygısı Ölçeği’nin “D-5: Depresif Duygulanım” boyutu ve “Kişisel Bilgi Formu” kullanılmıştır. Bu araştırma ilişkisel tarama modellerinden korelasyonel araştırma türündedir. Öz-şefkat, depresif duygulanım ve cinsiyetin beden imajını yordayıp yordamadığı aşamalı doğrusal regresyon analizi ile üç model kurularak incelenmiştir. Kurulan üç model de anlamlı bulunmuştur ve bulgulara göre öz-şefkat, depresif duygulanım ve cinsiyet değişkenleri birlikte beden imajı puanlarının yaklaşık %37’sini açıklamaktadır. Beden imajının en güçlü yordayıcısı ise öz-şefkattir. Bu araştırmanın sonuçlarının Türkiye’deki üniversite öğrencilerinin beden imajını açıklayan faktörleri ortaya koyması bakımından literatüre katkı sağladığı düşünülmektedir.
