The relationship between life satisfaction, empathy, resilience, and self-esteem has been investigated to a limited extent in developing countries, despite the existing literature on their effects on youth mental health. This study aimed to analyze the mediating role of resilience and self-esteem in the relationship between empathy and life satisfaction among adolescents in Türkiye.
The study group comprised 292 Turkish youth aged 15-19 (59.25% female and 40.75% male). We adopted Pearson correlation analysis and PROCESS Macro Model 4 in regression analysis to explore the relationships among empathy, life satisfaction, resilience and self-esteem.
The results showed that there were significant relationships between the study variables. Also, results show that resilience and self-esteem mediate the relationship between empathy and life satisfaction.
These results provide specific theoretical support and guidance for investigating and enhancing life satisfaction among adolescents in Türkiye and highlight the importance of interventions to enhance empathy, increase psychological resilience, and support self-esteem.
尽管已有关于生活满意度、同理心、心理韧性和自尊对青少年心理健康影响的文献，但在发展中国家，对它们之间关系的研究仍较为有限。本研究旨在分析心理韧性和自尊在土耳其青少年同理心与生活满意度关系中的中介作用。
研究组由292名15 - 19岁的土耳其青少年组成（女性占59.25%，男性占40.75%）。我们采用Pearson相关分析和回归分析中的PROCESS宏模型4来探究同理心、生活满意度、心理韧性和自尊之间的关系。
结果表明研究变量之间存在显著关系。此外，结果显示心理韧性和自尊在同理心与生活满意度之间起中介作用。
这些结果为调查和提高土耳其青少年的生活满意度提供了具体的理论支持和指导，并强调了增强同理心、提高心理韧性和支持自尊的干预措施的重要性。
