The main study group included a total of 90 adolescents (45 male and 45 female). The data of the study were obtained using the Adolescents’ Subjective Well-Being Increasing Scale. The data were analyzed with content analysis on the sentence basis. Results: The findings indicated that adolescents had mental control by putting distance for negative persons, incidences and situations, being in control in their relationships, thinking optimistically, having positive time orientations, wishing to exhibit happiness oriented behaviors, solving problems and seeking refuge in religious beliefs. Discussion and Conclusions: The findings of the study suggest adolescents use seven different tools for mental control. Results of this study may be used for improving subjective well being program

Amaç: Bu çalışmada ergenlerin, mental kontrol aracılığıyla öznel iyi oluşlarını nasıl koruduklarının incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Yöntem: Ön çalışma grubuna, Ankara’da lise öğrenimi gören, 14–17 yaşları arasındaki 112’si kız (%48.1), 121’i erkek (%51.9), toplam 233 ergen katılmıştır. Asıl çalışma grubunda ise, 45’i erkek (%50) ve 45’i kız (%50), toplam 90 ergen yer almıştır. Çalışmada, Ergenler İçin Öznel İyi Oluşu Artırma Stratejileri Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde, cümle bazında içerik analizi tekniği kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Çalışmada, ergenlerin olumsuz olay ve durumlara karşı mesafe koyma, kontrollü ilişki kurma, iyimser düşünme, olumlu zaman yöneliminde bulunma, doğrudan mutluluğa yönelik davranışlar sergilemeyi isteme, sorunları çözme ve dini inanca sığınma aracılığıyla mental kontrol yaptıkları sonucuna varılmıştır. Sonuç ve Tartışma: Bu çalışmada, ergenlerin yedi farklı araçla mental kontrolü gerçekleştirdikleri bulunmuştur. Bu çalışmanın bulguları, öznel iyi oluşu artırma programlarında kullanılabilir.
