Abstract:

 This study aims to investigate the mediating role of self-esteem in the relationship between mindfulness and trait anxiety during early adolescence. The research sample was selected using a convenient sampling method and comprised students attending 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th grades in a private secondary school in Izmir during the 2020-2021 academic year. A total of 344 adolescents 221 girls, 123 boys participated in the study. Data were collected using a Demographic Information Form, Mindfulness Scale for Children and Adolescents CAMM, State and Trait Anxiety Scale for Children, and Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale. Pearson Product-Moment Correlation and Process Tool Analysis Model 4 were employed to analyze the data. The bootstrapping process was applied to determine the confidence interval of the analysis, and the results were found to be statistically significant. Consequently, a significant relationship was observed between mindfulness, trait anxiety, and self-esteem in early adolescence. The role of self-esteem as a mediator in the relationship between mindfulness and trait anxiety was assessed, and it was found that self-esteem plays a partial mediating role in this relationship. The findings and implications are discussed in the context of existing literature, and suggestions for future research and applications are presented.

 Bu çalışma, erken ergenlik döneminde farkındalık ile sürekli kaygı arasındaki ilişkide özsaygının aracı rolünü araştırmayı amaçlamaktadır. Araştırma örneklemini, 2020-2021 akademik yılında İzmirdeki bir özel ortaokulda 5., 6., 7. ve 8. sınıflara devam eden öğrenciler arasından uygun örnekleme yöntemi kullanılarak seçilmiş ve toplam 344 ergen 221 kız, 123 erkek çalışmaya katılmıştır. Veriler, Demografik Bilgi Formu, Çocuk ve Ergenler için Farkındalık Ölçeği CAMM, Çocuklar için Durum ve Sürekli Kaygı Ölçeği ve Rosenberg Özsaygı Ölçeği kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Verilerin analizi için Pearson Çarpım-Moment Korelasyonu ve Süreç Araç Analizi Model 4 kullanılmıştır. Analizin güven aralığını belirlemek için bootstrapping süreci uygulanmış ve sonuçlar istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bulunmuştur. Sonuç olarak, erken ergenlikte farkındalık, sürekli kaygı ve özsaygı arasında anlamlı bir ilişki gözlemlenmiştir. Farkındalık ile sürekli kaygı arasındaki ilişkide özsaygının aracı rolü değerlendirilmiş ve özsaygının bu ilişkide kısmi aracı bir rol oynadığı bulunmuştur. Bulgular ve çıkarımlar mevcut literatür bağlamında tartışılmış ve gelecek araştırmalar ve uygulamalar için öneriler sunulmuştur.
