Bağlanma stilleri ile yaşam doyumu arasındaki ilişkide akademik güdülenmenin aracı rolü

Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine the mediating role of academic motivation in the relationship between attachment styles and life satisfaction. The sample comprised 352 participants [232 (65.9%) female, 120 (34.1%) male]. The ages of participants ranged from 15 to 33 years [Mage = 20.91, SD = 1.85]. According to the results of correlation analysis, there were significant correlations found between attachment styles, academic motivation and life satisfaction. Mediating test results revealed that academic motivation had a full mediating role in the correlations between secure and avoidant attachment styles with life satisfaction. Analyses of the anxious-ambivalent attachment style determined academic motivation had a partial mediating role. The research results offer empirical findings for both clinical and educational practice.
