Abstract:

In this study, it was aimed to examine the predictive role of helicopter parental attitudes perceived by university students from their mothers on their life satisfaction and psychological well-being. The study group of the consists of 240 university students, 166 of whom are women and 74 men. Helicopter Parent Attitude Scale, Life Satisfaction Scale and Psychological Well-being Scale were used as data collection tools in the study. Descriptive statistics of the collected data were calculated. In addition, Pearson Product Moment Correlation analysis was used to evaluate the relationship between psychological well-being, life satisfaction and perceived helicopter mother attitude variables. On the other hand, simple linear regression analysis was used to examine the predictive role of perceived helicopter mother attitude on university students' life satisfaction and psychological well-being. According to the results of the regression analysis, it was seen that the helicopter parental attitudes that university students perceived from their mothers had a negative predictive effect on their life satisfaction and psychological well-being. In other words, this result indicates that as the helicopter parental attitudes perceived by university students from their mothers increase, their life satisfaction and psychological well-being levels will decrease. The findings obtained in the study were discussed with other research results in the literature, and various suggestions were presented for further research.
