Abstract

This study aimed to examine the varying functions of basic needs satisfaction in predicting well-and ill-being among college students using a choice theory based perspective. A sample of 1150 college students completed self-report measures of Satisfaction with Life Scale, Positive and Negative Affect Schedule, Beck Depression Inventory, and University Students’ Basic Needs Scale. Path analysis model was performed to analyze the predictive relationships between research variables. Findings provided supportive evidence for the major hypothesis of choice theory that as the basic needs satisfaction increases, the well-being increases, and the ill-being decreases as well. However, functions of the basic needs varied in predicting well-and ill-being. Actually, basic needs satisfaction was more effective in predicting subjective well-being in comparison to depressive symptoms. Freedom need emerged as the foremost variable in predicting subjective well-being, and in predicting depression. Additionally, although fun need had a unique contribution to subjective well-being in the path analysis model, its moderate contribution decreasingly disappeared in predicting depression with the combined effect of partial correlations specifically including freedom and love and belonging needs.

Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı, üniversite öğrencilerinde iyi oluşun ve hasta oluşun yordanmasında temel ihtiyaçlar doyumunun farklılaşan işlevlerini seçim kuramına dayalı bir yaklaşımla incelemektir. Araştırma örneklemini oluşturun 1150 öğrenci Yaşam Doyumu Ölçeği, Pozitif ve Negatif Duygu Ölçeği, Beck Depresyon Envanteri ve Üniversite Öğrencileri Temel İhtiyaçlar Ölçeği’nden oluşan öz-bildirim ölçeklerini tamamlamıştır. Araştırma değişkenleri arasındaki yordayıcı ilişkileri analiz etmek için yol analizi yürütülmüştür. Bulgular seçim kuramının ana hipotezini desteklemiştir. Buna göre; üniversite öğrencilerinde temel ihtiyaçlar doyumu arttıkça öznel iyi oluş artmış ve depresif belirtiler azalmıştır. Bununla birlikte, temel ihtiyaçların iyi oluşu ve hasta oluşu yordamadaki işlevleri farklılaşmıştır. Esasen, temel ihtiyaçlar doyumu, depresif belirtilere kıyasla, öznel iyi oluşun yordanmasında daha etkili bulunmuştur. Özgürlük ihtiyacı, hem öznel iyi oluşun hem de depresyonun yordanmasında en güçlü değişken olmuştur. Ek olarak, eğlence ihtiyacı öznel iyi oluşun yordanmasına özgün bir katkı sunmuş olsa da, özellikle özgürlük ve sevgi-ait olma ihtiyaçları ile gösterdiği kısmi korelasyonların birleşik etkisiyle birlikte, eğlence ihtiyacının depresyonu yordamadaki ılımlı katkısı ortadan kalkmıştır.
