Öz
Bu çalışmanın amacı, öz-şefkat ve kaygı arasındaki ilişkide bilişsel esnekliğin aracı olarak rolünü araştırmaktır. Araştırma, öz-şefkat ve anksiyete belirtileri arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemektedir. Ek olarak, bu süreçte bilişsel esnekliğin rolünü araştırarak, öz-şefkatin bilişsel esnekliği artırabileceğini ve bunun da kaygı düzeylerini azaltabileceğini öne sürmektedir. Araştırmanın örneklemini yaşları 18-54 arasında değişen 355 katılımcı (251 kadın ve 104 erkek) oluşturmaktadır (Y=24.17, SS=5.92). Verilerin toplanmasında Demografik Bilgi Formu, Beck Anksiyete Envanteri, Bilişsel Esneklik Envanteri ve Öz Şefkat Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Bilişsel esnekliğin aracılık rolü PROCESS makro ile incelenmiştir. Sonuçlar, bilişsel esnekliğin öz-şefkat ve anksiyete belirtileri arasında bir aracı olduğunu göstermiştir. Öz şefkatin kaygı üzerindeki etkisi bu ilişkide hala anlamlıdır. Bulgular, hem öz-şefkatin hem de bilişsel esnekliğin kaygıyı azaltmada değerli olduğunu göstermektedir. Tüm sonuçların etkileri tartışılmaktadır.
