Abstract

This study was conducted in one of the poverty areas of Ankara with 281 male and female adolescents (ages between 12-16). The aim of the study was to construct an awareness program in relation to prejudice, interpersonal reactivity and locus of control which may contribute to the development of life skills (assertiveness and communication). and self esteem. California F-Scale (Form 40-45), interpersonal reactivity index, locus of control, self esteem, assertiveness and communication scales were administered to observe whether age, gender, prejudice, personal sensitivity and locus of control predicted global self esteem, perception of assertiveness and communication skills of adolescents. The results revealed that, self esteem and perception of life skills (assertiveness and communication) were positively predicted from perspective taking, whereas negatively predicted from disbelief to human agency and personal effort. On the other hand, while self-esteem and perception of communication skill were positively predicted from strict conformity to rules, ; self-esteem and perception of assertiveness were predicted negatively from lack of personal control. Other i results reflected that perception of both life skills were predicted negatively from feelings of personal distress \ whereas gender predicted only perception of communication, favoring females. Age had no significant effect j on either self esteem or perception of life skills.

Özet

Bu araştırmada Sincan-Saraycık köyündeki bir ilk öğretim okuluna devam eden 12-16 yaş grubundan (erken ergenlik: 12-13 yaş ve orta ergenlik: 14-16 yaş) toplam 281 kız ve erkek öğrencinin benlik değeri ile yaşam becerilerine ilişkin algısının yaş ve toplumsal cinsiyet gibi demografik değişkenler, ayrıca önyargı, kişiler arası duyarlık, kontrol odağı gibi tutumlarla olan ilişkileri sorgulanmıştır. California F- Scale (Form 40-45), kişilerarası tepkiler endeksi, kontrol odağı ölçeği ile birlikte benlik değeri, atılganlık ve iletişim becerilerine yönelik algıyı ölçmek üzere geliştirilen ölçeklerin iki güne yayılarak uygulandığı araştırmanın bulguları; benlik değeri, atılganlık ve iletişim becerilerine ilişkin algıların tümünün başkasının bakış açısına duyarlık boyutu tarafından olumlu yönde, insan doğasının zayıflığına ve çabanın anlamsızlığına yönelik inançlardan olumsuz yönde yordandığını göstermiştir. Benlik değeri ve iletişim becerileri algısının kuralcılıktan, yine benlik değeri ve atılganlık algısının ise kişisel kontrol eksikliğinden ve her iki yaşam becerisine ilişkin algının da kişisel sıkıntı boyutlarından yordanabildiği görülmüştür. Öte yandan, ergenin yaşının, benlik değeri ve yaşam becerileri değişkenlerini yordamadığı, cinsiyetin ise sadece iletişim algısını olumlu yönde yordadığı tespit edilmiştir.
