Abstract:

The aim of this study is to study the instrumental role of cognitive emotional regulation strategies in the relationship between proactive handling and psychological resilience. The study was conducted with a total of 531 participants, including 311 women and 220 men aged between 18 and 35. In the framework of the Ethical Board permission, the Ethical Board of the Okan University Institute of Social Sciences has received the certificate of the Ethical approval number 128 dated 11.11.2012. In the study, the Scale of Psychological Resistance for Adults, the Scale of Proactive Response, the Scale of Cognitive Emotional Regulation and the Personal Information Form created by the researcher were used as a data collection tool. Pearson Correlation and Imaginative Statistics have been used to identify the relationships between proactive handling, psychological resistance and cognitive emotional regulation strategies. The mediation analysis was carried out using the PROCESS macrose Model-4. The achieved results show that cognitive emotional regulation strategies have a partial instrumental role in the relationship between proactive handling and psychological resilience. However, proactive treatment, psychological endurance and cognitive emotional regulation have been found to be interrelated. From the cognitive emotional arrangement strategies to the plan, re-focus and positive review strategies play the role of the instrument in the positive direction in the proactive treatment and psychological resilience relationship; on the other hand, the acceptance and self-accusing strategies have been found as the variables that mediate in the negative direction in this relationship. According to the results obtained in the study, proactive handling, re-focus on the plan and the development of positive review strategies in therapeutic and psycho-educational studies aimed at the development of psycho-resistance can be said to increase the psycho-resistance of adults.
