Özet:

 This study aims to examine the relationships among university students psychological flexibility, spi ritual orientation, and perceived stress levels. The study, which used quantitative research methods, included 452 university students 337 women and 115 men selected using a simple random sampling technique. The findings indicated that participants levels of spiritual orientation were high, while their levels of psychological flexibility and perceived stress were at a moderate level. A negative relationship was found between psychological flexibility and perceived stress, along with a positive relationship between spiritual orientation and psychological flexibility. These results suggest that as participants spiritual orientation levels increase, their psychological flexibility levels also increase; conversely, as their psychological flexibility levels increases, perceived stress levels decrease. However, no relationship was found between participants spiritual orientation and perceived stress levels. Additionally, a signifi cant difference was found between gender and perceived stress levels. The mean perceived stress scores of female participants were found to be significantly higher than those of male participants. Significant differences were also observed between age groups and psychological flexibility levels. Participants aged 25 and older had higher psychological flexibility scores than those in the 18-21 age group. Furthermore, significant differences were found in psychological flexibility levels according to family income levels. Participants with high family income reported higher psychological flexibility scores than those with moderate family income.

 Bu çalışma, üniversite öğrencilerinin psikolojik esneklik, manevi yönelim ve algıladıkları stres düzeyleri arasındaki ilişkileri incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Nicel araştırma yönteminin uygulandığı çalışmada basit tesadüfi örnekleme tekniğiyle seçilen 452 üniversite öğrencisi 337 kadın ve 115 erkek yer almıştır. Bulgular, katılımcıların manevi yönelim düzeylerinin yüksek, psikolojik esneklik ve algılanan stres düzeylerinin ise orta seviyede olduğunu göstermektedir. Psikolojik esneklik ile algılanan stres arasında negatif; manevi yönelim ile psikolojik esneklik arasında pozitif bir ilişki olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Bu sonuçlar katılımcıların manevi yönelim düzeyleri arttıkça psikolojik esneklik düzeylerinin de arttığını, buna karşın psikolojik esneklik düzeyleri yükseldikçe algılanan stres düzeylerinin azaldığını göstermektedir. Bununla birlikte katılımcıların manevi yönelim ile algılanan stres düzeyleri arasında bir ilişki gözlemlenmemiştir. Araştırmada ayrıca cinsiyet ile algılanan stres düzeyleri arasında anlamlı farklılık tespit edilmiştir. Kadın katılımcıların algılanan stres puan ortalamalarının erkek katılımcılardan daha yüksek olduğu belirlenmiştir. Yaş grupları ile psiko,lojik esneklik düzeyleri arasında anlamlı farklılık tespit edilmiştir. 25 yaş ve üzeri katılımcıların psikolojik esneklik puanlarının 18-21 yaş grubundakilere kıyasla daha yüksek olduğu görülmüştür. Ailenin gelir düzeyine göre psikolojik esneklik düzeylerinde anlamlı farklılık tespit edilmiştir. Aile geliri yüksek olan katılımcıların psikolojik esneklik puanlarının, aile geliri orta seviyede olanlara kıyasla daha yüksek olduğu belirlenmiştir.
