Özet:

 : In the current study, it is aimed to determine the extent to which alexithymia and mindfulness experiences in adolescents predict their psychological mindedness. To this end, the relational survey model was used to determine the relationships between the variables. The study group of the current research was constructed by means of the convenience sampling method because of the pandemic conditions. The online form prepared by the researchers was shared on various social media platforms; thus, a total of 582 adolescents were reached. The mean age of the participants is 15,24. The data in the study were collected by using the demographic information form developed by the researchers, the Psychological Mindedness Scale for Adolescents, the Toronto Alexithymia Scale TAS-20 and the Comprehensive Mindfulness Experiences Scale for Adolescents. In the analysis of the collected data, while Pearson correlation coefficient and hierarchic multi-linear regression analysis were used to determine the relationships between variables, independent samples t-test and one-way variance analysis were used to determine the differences and Tukey and Hochbergs GT2 tests were used to test the source of the differences. For all the statistical analyses, SPSS statistics program was used and the significance level was set to be ,05. As a result of the analyses, it was concluded that the adolescents psychological mindedness was negatively predicted by alexithymia while it was positively predicted by mindfulness. Moreover, the adolescents psychological mindedness was found to var significantly depending on gender, grade level, academic grade point average and perceived social-economic level but not vary significantly depending on family structure. Findings of the study were discussed in light of the literature.

 Bu çalışmada, ergenlerin aleksitimi ve bilinçli farkındalık deneyimi düzeylerinin psikolojik zihinliliklerini ne derece yordandığının belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaçla, değişkenler arasındaki ilişkinin belirlenmesi için ilişkisel tarama modeli kullanılmıştır. Pandemi koşullarından dolayı çalışma grubu, uygun örnekleme yöntemi ile oluşturulmuştur. Araştırmacılar tarafından hazırlanan online form, çeşitli sosyal medya platformlarında paylaşılarak, ergenlik döneminde bulunan 582 katılımcıya ulaşılmıştır. Katılımcıların yaş ortalaması 15,24tür. Araştırmada veriler; araştırmacıların oluşturduğu demografik bilgi formu, Ergenler için Psikolojik Zihinlilik Ölçeği, Toronto Aleksitimi Ölçeği TAÖ-20 ve Ergenler için Kapsamlı Bilinçli Farkındalık Deneyimleri Envanteri ile elde edilmiştir. Verilerin analizinde, değişkenlerin arasındaki ilişkinin saptanması için pearson korelasyon katsayısı ile hiyerarşik çoklu doğrusal regresyon analizi kullanılırken; farklılıkların tespitine ilişkin analiz için ise ilişkisiz örneklemler t-testi ve tek yönlü varyans analizi kullanılmış, farklılıkların kaynağını test etmek adına Tukey ve Hochbergs GT2 testlerinden yararlanılmıştır. Tüm bu istatistiksel analizlerde SPSS 22.0 programı kullanılmış olup, anlamlılık düzeyi olarak ,05 alınmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda ergenlerin psikolojik zihinliliklerinin aleksitimi düzeyleri tarafından negatif, bilinçli farkındalık deneyimleri tarafından pozitif yönde anlamlı şekilde yordandığı bulgusuna ulaşılmıştır. Ayrıca ergenlerin psikolojik zihinliliklerinin cinsiyetleri, sınıf düzeyleri, akademik not ortalamaları ve algılanan sosyoekonomik düzeyleri açısından anlamlı olarak farklılaştığı; ancak aile yapılarına göre anlamlı bir farklılık göstermediği tespit edilmiştir. Çalışma bulguları ilgili alanyazın ışığında tartışılmıştır.
