ÖZ
Varoluşun kaçınılmaz zorlukları bireylerde çeşitli tepkiler ortaya çıkarır. Bunlar arasında bireylerin olumsuz semptomlar geliştirmesi ya da zorluklarla dirençli bir şekilde yüzleşmesi mümkündür. Yalnız kalma konusunda endişeli olan ve duygularını kontrol edemeyen kişiler bu süreçte zorlanabilir. Zorluklara uyum sağlamak ve daha sağlam bir varoluş sürdürmek için bireylerin olumsuz deneyimler karşısında daha dayanıklı olmaları arzu edilir. Çalışma bu bağlamda duygu düzenleme güçlükleri ve yalnız kalma korkusunun dayanıklılık ve olumsuz deneyimler arasındaki aracı rolünü araştırmayı amaçlamıştır. Bu çalışma bu değişkenler arasındaki ilişkileri araştıran ilk çalışmadır. 470 kadın ve 258 erkek yetişkin katılımcı araştırmaya gönüllü olarak katılmıştır. Aracılık analizini gerçekleştirmek için Yapısal Eşitlik Modellemesi kullanılmıştır. Bulgular duygu düzenleme güçlüğü ve yalnız kalma korkusunun olumsuz yaşantılar ve psikolojik sağlamlık arasında paralel bir aracılık rolü olduğunu göstermiştir. Modelde olumsuz yaşantılar hem doğrudan hem de duygu düzenleme güçlüğü ve yalnız kalma korkusu dolayısıyla psikolojik sağlamlığı yordamaktadır. Sonuç olarak olumsuzlukların varlığında kişinin duygularını düzenleme becerisinin önemi kabul edilmektedir. Dayanıklılığın olumsuz bir göstergesi yalnız kalma korkusu ve duygu düzenleme güçlüğüdür.
Anahtar Kelimeler:
Olumsuz yaşantılar, duygu düzenleme güçlüğü, yalnız kalma korkusu, psikolojik sağlamlık
