Abstract
This study aims to examine the mediating role of hope in the relationship between university students’ sense of coherence and subjective well-being (life satisfaction, negative affect, positive affect). The study sample consisted of 556 university students, 358 females and 198 males in Turkey. Data were collected through the “Sense of Coherence Scale”, “Life Satisfaction Scale”, “Positive and Negative Affect Scale” and “Special Living Areas Hope Scale”. The bootstrapping regression method was conducted to determine the mediating role of hope in the relationship between university students’ sense of coherence and subjective well-being. As a result of the correlation analysis, a positive relationship was detected between sense of coherence and hope, subjective well-being, life satisfaction, and positive affect, and a negative and significant relationship was found with negative affect. The results of the bootstrapping that was performed to analyze the mediating role of hope showed that hope had a partial role in the relationship between sense of coherence and subjective well-being and its sub-scales (life satisfaction, positive affect, and negative affect). The findings were discussed in light of previous studies, and recommendations were made for future studies.
