Psikolojik İyi Oluşu Belirleyen Bazı Faktörler: Sağlık Kaygısı, Duygu Düzenleme Güçlüğü ve Sağlık Kontrol Odağı

Psychological well-being is associated with a fulfilling life that many people strive to achieve, and the psychology literature continues to expand on the determinants of psychological well-being. This study aimed to examine the role of health anxiety, difficulty in emotion regulation, and health locus of control on psychological well-being. The study sample comprised 510 adults aged 18-53 (Mage = 32.48, SDage = 6.9). 475 participants (93.13%) were women, and 35 were men (6.87%). The participants were reached by social media channels on the Internet (Twitter, Instagram). Correlations between the subscales were examined separately for male and female participants. The results differed in terms of gender. Hierarchical regression analysis was conducted to determine some predictors of psychological well-being, and contrary to expectations, the results showed that health locus of control and gender did not make a significant contribution to the regression model. Health anxiety and difficulty in emotion regulation made significant contributions to the regression model, and the last model estimated 30.1% of psychological well-being. Results were discussed in the light of the related literature.
