| Abstract: |
This study aims to examine how the ruminative thinking style mediates the relationship between psychological well-being and levels of hope. The sample group consists of 513 individuals selected by convenience sampling from the population who volunteered to participate in this study. Pearson Product-Moment Correlation coefficient was used to reveal the relationships between variables. In addition, while examining the mediating role of ruminative thinking style in the relationship between psychological well-being and hope level, the Hayes (2018) model was used as a basis, and Regression Analysis was used. According to the research findings, it was concluded that the psychological well-being level of the participants had a positive relationship with the dimensions of hope level, alternative ways of thinking, and activist thinking, and a significant negative relationship with ruminative thinking style. When the mediating role of ruminative thinking style in the relationship between participants' psychological well-being level and hope level was examined, it was concluded that ruminative thinking style had a partial mediating role in the total score of hope level. Considering the strong relationship between hope and psychological well-being, it is considered important to conduct research on different variables that affect the participants' psychological well-being, hope, and ruminative thinking style or that may be related to these variables and to include more in-depth findings, and to carry out awareness-raising activities to improve hope and increase psychological well-being. |
