| Abstract |
Aims: Etiological studies conducted in the field of mental health have generally focused on the psychological distress. However, concepts such as psychological well-being, which affect how people adapts to any difficulty they encounter and whether they will develop any psychological problems as a result of this, are at least as important as psychological problems (Springer & Hauser, 2006). Psychological well-being can be classified as the ability of individuals to manage the existential issues they encounter in their lives (Keyes et. al., 2002). In the current study, the effects of self-construals and the child-rearing styles perceiving from parents on the psychological well-being of adolescents will be examined. In this way, it is aimed to make etiological explanations from a developmental perspective. Method: Data was collected from adolescents aged 12-19. the Children's Psychological Well-Being Scale, the Child Rearing Styles Scale and the Balanced Integration and Separation Scale were used. Results and Conclusion: The findings show that related self has a full mediating effect on the relationship between perceived acceptance and attention from mothers and fathers and adolescents' psychological well-being. Also, it was determined that both the related and independent self have a partial mediating effect on the relationship between the acceptance and attention perceiving from fathers and psychological well-being. Accordingly, if adolescents perceived their parents as caring and accepting, they develop a self which has closer relationships, and it contribute their psychological well-being. And if they perceived their father as the same way, it also contribute the independent self and well-being. |
