SUMMARY

The purpose of this study is to investigate attitudes towards peace with respect to subjective wellbeing and gender. The participants of the study were 240 students who were taking their high school education in Kocaeli. Two different inventories were applied to the students; Adolescent Subjective Wellbeing Inventory and Peace Attitudes Scale. Multiple regression analysis was used to investigate if and to which degree subjective wellbeing predicts peace attitudes. To examine the relation between peace attitudes and gender, independent sample t-test was conducted. The results indicated that the peace attitudes of adolescents does not change according to gender (t238= -.153; p>.05). According to the Pearson correlation coefficients, there is positive relations ranged from .30 to .65 between peace attitudes and four subscales of subjective well-being (p<.001). The multiple regression analysis that was held to investigate the predictor role of subjective wellbeing on peace attitudes revealed that family relations satisfaction and positive feelings explains peace attitudes significantly (R2= .48 ; F reg= 53,468; p< .001). ÖzetBu çalismanin amaci, lise ögrencilerinin barisa yönelik tutumlarinin öznel iyi olus (aile iliskilerinde doyum, önemli diger kisilerle iliskide doyum, yasam doyumu, olumlu duygular) ve cinsiyet açisindan incelenmesidir. Arastirma verileri, 2014-2015 Egitim ve Ögretim Yili'nda Kocaeli ilinde üç lisede egitim gören 14-16 yaslari arasinda 240 ögrenciden toplanmistir. Arastirma verileri kisisel bilgi formu, ergen öznel iyi olus ölçegi ve barisa yönelik tutumlar ölçegi ile toplanmistir. Arastirmada veri analizinde cinsiyete göre barisa yönelik tutumlarin degisip degismedigini test etmek için t-testi yönteminden yararlanilmistir. Bulgulara göre, kiz (X=16.297) ve erkek (X=16.356) ögrencilerin barisa yönelik tutumlari arasinda anlamli bir fark bulunmamaktadir (t238=-.153; p>.05). Degiskenler arasindaki iliski pearson korelasyon katsayisi ile incelendiginde, barisa yönelik tutumlar ile öznel iyi olusun dört alt boyutu arasindaki korelasyonlarin .30 ile .65 arasinda degistigi gözlenmistir (p<.001). Öznel iyi olusun barisa yönelik tutumlarini açiklayip açiklamadigini incelemek için yapilan çoklu regresyon analizi sonuçlarina göre ise öznel iyi olusun aile iliskilerinde doyum ve olumlu duygular alt boyutlarinin barisa yönelik tutumlar üzerinde açiklanan varyansa katkisinin anlamli oldugu sonucuna ulasilmistir.
