Abstract

The aim of this study is to determine the effects of self-esteem, positive future expectation, and future attitudes on the happiness of vocational school students. The Self-Esteem Scale developed by Tafarodi and Swann (1995), The Attitude Toward Future and Positive Future Expectations Scales developed by ‹mamo¤lu (2001), The Oxford Happiness Scale-Short Form developed by Hills and Argyle (2002), and a personal information form were used to collect the data. The data were obtained from 715 university students studying at Manavgat Vocational School, with one of the highest number of students at Akdeniz University. Reliability analysis, factor analy- sis, correlation analysis, and regression analysis were used to analyze the data. These analyses revealed positive and significant relationships among happiness, “self-liking” and “self-competence”, which are the sub-dimen- sions of Self-Esteem Scale. Positive significant relationships were found between “positive orientation” and “planned orientation” sub-dimensions of attitude toward future scale, and happiness. However, a negative signifi- cant relationship was found between “anxious orientation” and happiness. A positive significant relationship was found between positive future expec- tation and happiness. In addition, from among all the independent vari- ables, the “self-liking” sub-dimension was found to have the highest effect on happiness. This was followed by the planned orientation, positive future expectation, anxious orientation, positive orientation, and self-competence sub-dimensions. Self-esteem, attitude toward future, and positive future expectation had a share of 54% in describing the total change in happiness. The findings were discussed in light of the literature and some suggestions were made for school administrations.

Özet

Bu çal›flman›n amac›, meslek yüksekokulu ö¤rencilerinin benlik sayg›lar›, olumlu gelecek beklentisi ve gelece¤e yönelik tutumlar›n›n mutluluklar› üzerindeki etkilerinin saptanmas›d›r. Çal›flmada, veri toplama arac› olarak, Tafarodi ve Swann (1995) taraf›ndan gelifltirilen Benlik Sayg›s› Ölçe¤i, ‹ma- mo¤lu (2001) taraf›ndan gelifltirilen Gelece¤e Yönelik Tutum ve Olumlu Gele- cek Beklentisi Ölçekleri, Hills ve Argyle (2002) taraf›ndan gelifltirilen Oxford Mutluluk Ölçe¤i-K›sa Formu ve kiflisel bilgi formu kullan›lm›flt›r. Veriler, Ak- deniz Üniversitesinin en çok ö¤renci say›s›na sahip meslek yüksekokullar›n- dan Manavgat Meslek Yüksekokulunda ö¤renim görmekte olan 715 üniver- site ö¤rencisinden elde edilmifltir. Verilerin analizinde güvenirlik analizi, faktör analizi, korelasyon analizi ve regresyon analizi kullan›lm›flt›r. Analiz- ler sonucunda, mutluluk ile Benlik Sayg›s› Ölçe¤inin alt boyutlar› olan “ken- dini sevme” ve “öz yeterlilik” aras›nda pozitif anlaml› iliflkiler oldu¤u tespit edilmifltir. Gelece¤e Yönelik Tutum Ölçe¤inin “olumlu yönelim” ve “plan- l› yönelim” alt boyutlar› ile mutluluk aras›nda pozitif anlaml› iliflkiler saptan- m›flt›r. Öte yandan, “kayg›l› yönelim” ile mutluluk aras›nda ise negatif an- laml› bir iliflki saptanm›flt›r. Mutluluk ile olumlu gelecek beklentisi aras›nda da pozitif anlaml› bir iliflki oldu¤u tespit edilmifltir. Ayr›ca, tüm ba¤›ms›z de- ¤iflkenler içerisinde mutluluk üzerinde en fazla etkiye sahip olan›n “kendini sevme” alt boyutu oldu¤u görülmüfl ve bunu s›ras›yla planl› yönelim, olum- lu gelecek beklentisi, kayg›l› yönelim, olumlu yönelim ve son s›rada da öz ye- terlilik alt boyutunun izledi¤i saptanm›flt›r. Benlik sayg›s›, gelece¤e yönelik tutum ve olumlu gelecek beklentisinin mutluluktaki de¤iflimi aç›klama ora- n› %54 olarak tespit edilmifltir. Bulgular mevcut literatür çerçevesinde tart›- fl›lm›fl ve okul yönetimleri için baz› önerilerde de bulunulmufltur.
