Özet:

The aim of this study is to determine the predictive power of students’ perception of alienation (weakness, anomy, meaninglessness, isolation) over students’ learned resourcefulness perception. The participants of this research are 820 university students at Bozok University in Turkey during 2013-2014 school years. In the research Student Alienation Scale and Learned Resourcefulness Scale were used. Student Alienation Scale has four sub scales which are weakness, anomy, meaninglessness, isolation. Learned Resourcefulness Scale has one dimension. A simple linear regression analysis was carried out to identify how the perception of alienation of students affects (predicts) the learned resourcefulness perception of the students. It is concluded that there is a significant positive and low-level relationship between students’ alienation perception and learned resourcefulness perception. According to the results, it can be said that, 7% of the total variance in the students’ perception of learned resourcefulness results from their weakness perception. Also 1% of the total variance in the students’ perception of learned resourcefulness results from their anomy perception. And 2% of the total variance in the students’ perception of learned resourcefulness results from their meaninglessness perception. Finally 2% of the total variance in the students’ perception of learned resourcefulness results from their isolation perception.
