Özet

Bu çalışma, pozitif psikolojinin yeterince araştırılmamış üç değişkeni olan akademik esneklik, ikinci dil öğrenme azmi ve yabancı dil huzuru arasındaki olası karşılıklı ilişkiler konusundaki köklü araştırma boşluğunu doldurmaya çalışmıştır. Bu açıklayıcı çalışmada, bahsi geçen üç değişken sınıf düzeyleri ve cinsiyet açısından açısından incelenmiştir. Nicel veriler 160 İngilizce öğrencisinden oluşan uygun bir örneklemden anket yönemi ile toplanırken toplanırken, nitel veriler video konferans yoluyla 9 katılımcıdan toplanmıştır. Bulgular, ikinci dil öğrenme azmi ile yabancı dil huzuru; yabancı dil huzuru ile akademik esneklik arasında ilişki olduğunu göstermiştir, ancak ikinci dil öğrenme azmi ile akademik esneklik arasında ilişki bulunmamıştır. Ayrıca, cinsiyetten ziyade sınıf düzeylerinin bu kişilik özelliklerini yordadığı bulunmuştur. Nitel veriler, bu bulguların arkasındaki nedenleri ortaya koymuştur.

Abstract

The current study attempted to fill the well-established research niche on the possible interrelations between three under-researched positive psychology variables: academic buoyancy, L2 grit, and foreign language peace of mind. This explanatory study examined three variables of positive psychology: academic buoyancy, second language grit, and foreign language peace of mind, concerning grade levels and gender, as well as the factors influencing potential differences. While the quantitative data were gathered from a convenience sample of 160 English majors, the qualitative data were gathered from 9 participants through videoconferencing. L2 grit and foreign language peace of mind as well as foreign language peace of mind and academic buoyancy, were found to be correlated, yet L2 grit and academic buoyancy were not correlated. Besides, grade levels rather than gender were found to predict those personality traits. The qualitative data revealed the reasons behind these physiological findings.
