Özet:

 This study investigates the effects of ability-based and opinion-based social comparisons on interpersonal problems and concurrently explores the mediating roles of self-esteem and emotion dysregulation within these relational dynamics. A demographic information form, the Inventory of Interpersonal Problems-Circumplex Scales Short Form IIP-C, the Iowa-Netherlands Comparison Orientation Measure INCOM, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale RSES, and the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale DERS were administered to 549 volunteer undergraduates. Structural equation modeling SEM was employed to analyze the study data. The test results of the proposed model indicated that ability-based social comparison has significant direct and indirect effects on interpersonal problems. In contrast, opinion-based social comparison has no significant direct or indirect effects on interpersonal problems. To clarify, comparing their abilities with others is a significant factor in undergraduates interpersonal problems. Moreover, self-esteem and emotion dysregulation significantly mediate this association. Conversely, comparing their opinions with others is not a significant factor in their experiences of interpersonal problems, and this remained consistent in the mediation of self-esteem and emotion dysregulation. Expected and differentiated findings of the study about the associations of distinct comparison types were discussed in light of the current literature. Presented recommendations for further research included diversifying the sample and considering sub-dimensions of interpersonal problems.

 Yetenek-temelli ve görüş-temelli sosyal karşılaştırmaların kişilerarası problemler üzerindeki etkilerinin araştırıldığı bu model çalışmasında öz-saygı ve duygu düzenleme güçlüklerinin bu ilişkilerdeki aracı etkileri sınanmıştır. Örneklemini üniversite lisans öğrencilerinin oluşturduğu bu çalışmada, 549 gönüllü katılımcıya demografik bilgi formu, Kişilerarası Problemler Envanteri-Döngüsel Ölçekleri Kısa Formu IIP-C, Iowa-Hollanda Karşılaştırma Yönelimi Ölçeği INCOM, Rosenberg Öz-Saygı Ölçeği RSES ve Duygu Düzenlemede Güçlükler Ölçeği DERS uygulanmış ve elde edilen veriler yapısal eşitlik modellemesi YEM ile analiz edilmiştir. Önerilen modele dair bulgular kişilerarası problemler üzerinde yetenek-temelli sosyal karşılaştırmanın doğrudan ve dolaylı etkilerinin tümünün anlamlı olduğunu gösterirken, görüş-temelli sosyal karşılaştırmanın doğrudan ve dolaylı etkilerinin tümünün anlamsız olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Buna göre üniversite öğrencilerinin kişilerarası problemler yaşamalarında yeteneklerini başkalarıyla karşılaştırmaları istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir etmendir ve bu ilişkiye öz-saygı ve duygu düzenleme güçlükleri de aracılık etmektedir. Öte yandan, görüşlerini karşılaştırmanın kişilerarası problem deneyimleri üzerinde ne doğrudan ne de öz-saygı ve duygu düzenleme güçlükleri aracılığıyla dolaylı olarak anlamlı bir etkisi olmuştur. Farklı sosyal karşılaştırma türlerinin ilişkilenmelerine dair alanyazınla benzerlik ve farklılıklar gösteren mevcut bulgular tartışılmış ve gelecekteki olası çalışmalar için örneklemin çeşitlendirilmesi ve kişilerarası problemlerin alt boyutlarının dikkate alınması gibi önerilerde bulunulmuştur.
