Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between patience and psychological well-being. Selected by random sampling, participants were 1007 individuals (427 males, 580 females) who were between the ages of 15 and 65+ living in Erzincan, Erzurum, Isparta and Fatsa. During the application process of this research, the Patience Scale and the Psychological Well-being Scale were used. In order to analyze the obtained data, t- test, Pearson Product-Moment Correlation Analysis and Regression Analysis were used. As a result of the research, it was seen that there was a meaningful positive relationship among total patience score, short-term patience / daily hassles, long-term patience / life hardships and interpersonal patience with psychological well-being. The dimension of interpersonal patience was associated more strongly with all dimensions of psychological well-being. The dimension “autonomy†of psychological wellbeing was associated more strongly with total patience score. Moreover, the weakest relation of total patience was with the dimension “purpose in life†of psychological well-being. Furthermore psychological well-being was a significant predictor of patience.
