Özet
This study employs a Structural Equation Model to examine the mediating role of self-construals in the relationship between university students’ family climate and well-being In line with the correlational model, the study’s sample consisted of 541 university students, of whom 371 (68.6%) were female and 170 (31.4%) were male. The average of age the participants included in the sample was found to be 21.19. The PERMA-Profiler, Autonomous-Relational Self in Family Scale, and Family Climate Scale were used to collect data. Both a Pearson’s Product-Moments Correlation and Structural Equation Model were used to analyze the study’s data and thereby test the study’s main hypotheses. The Structural Equation Model revealed that self-construals play a mediating role in the relationship between family climate and well-being. According to the model, individuals raised in families with a positive family climate were found to develop a self-construal (relational and autonomous-relational self) and this self-construals increased individuals’ well-being levels. These results emphasize the importance of considering family climate characteristics and self-construals when researching well-being.
