Özet:

 Cognitive distortion and life satisfaction are two factors that can be affected by many factors and can also significantly affect the quality of peoples lives. One of the important events affecting these factors is the pandemic period caused by the COVID-19 virus, which has come to the agenda of the world since the beginning of 2020. In fact, it is thought that the lifestyles of people have to change all over the world due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Also, the cognitive distortion levels of individuals of all ages increase while their life satisfaction levels decrease. Therefore, this study aimed at the examination of cognitive distortions and life satisfaction during the COVID-19 pandemic. One of the quantitative research methods which is relational screening technique was used in the study and participants between the ages of 20 and 60 living in Turkey were enrolled in the study. In the research, which was carried out with the snowball sampling method, 807 people who volunteered to participate in the research took part in it by using the Google Form. Of the participants, 492 were women and 315 were men. The data collected for the scope of the research were obtained with the General Information Form, Satisfaction with Life Scale and Cognitive Distortion Scale. As for the results of the research, a significant difference was found between the levels of life satisfaction in terms of the gender and cognitive distortion levels with respect to the age of the participants. A negative correlation was found between life satisfaction levels and cognitive distortion levels. A significant difference was found in the helplessness sub-dimension, which is one of the sub-dimensions of the cognitive distortion scale, considering the status of contracting the COVID-19 disease. Within the scope of the data obtained as a result of the research, it is recommended to carry out psychological and educational support studies for individuals to increase social awareness.

 Bilişsel çarpıtma ve yaşam doyumu pek çok unsurdan etkilenebilen ve aynı zamanda insanların yaşam kalitelerini de önemli derecede etkileyebilen iki faktördür. Bu faktörleri etkileyen önemli olaylardan biri de 2020 yılının başlarından itibaren dünya gündemine gelen COVID-19 virüsünün neden olduğu pandemi dönemidir. Öyle ki, COVID-19 pandemisi nedeniyle tüm dünyada insanların yaşam biçimlerinin değişmek zorunda kaldığı ve her yaştaki bireylerin bilişsel çarpıtma düzeylerinin yükselip, yaşam doyum düzeylerinin azaldığı düşünülmektedir. Bundan hareketle, bu araştırmada COVID-19 pandemisinde bilişsel çarpıtmalar ve yaşam doyumunu incelenmek amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmada nicel araştırma yöntemlerinden ilişkisel tarama tekniği kullanılmış ve Türkiyede yaşayan 20- 60 yaş aralığında bulunan katılımcılara ulaşılmıştır. Kartopu örnekleme yöntemi ile gerçekleştirilen araştırmada, Google Form kullanılarak araştırmaya katılmaya gönüllü olan 807 kişiye ulaşılmıştır. Katılımcıların 492si kadın, 315i erkeklerden oluşmaktadır. Araştırma kapsamında kullanılan verilere Genel Bilgi Formu, Yaşam Doyumu Ölçeği ve Bilişsel Çarpıtma Ölçeği ile ulaşılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda katılımcıların cinsiyetine göre, bilişsel çarpıtma düzeyleri ve yaşına göre, yaşam doyumu düzeyleri arasında anlamlı farklılık saptanmıştır. Yaşam doyum düzeyleri ile bilişsel çarpıtma düzeyleri arasında negatif yönde ilişki saptanmıştır. COVID-19 hastalığına yakalanma durumuna göre, bilişsel çarpıtma ölçeği alt boyutlarından çaresizlik alt boyutunda anlamlı farklılık saptanmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda ulaşılan veriler kapsamında, bireylere yönelik psikolojik ve eğitsel destek çalışmalarının yapılması, toplumsal farkındalığın arttırılması önerilmektedir.
