Abstract：
Substance misuse is a pressing public health concern, especially among emerging adults, with implications for psychological health and overall well-being. This cross-sectional study investigates the mediating roles of self-compassion and subjective well-being in the relationship between psychological flexibility and substance misuse among Turkish college students. The study included 445 emerging adults enrolled at a state university in Türkiye. University participants were recruited via convenience sampling using snowball methods. Data were collected using self-report scales. The sample was 69% female (n = 307) and 31% male (n = 138) and ranged in age from 18 to 26 years (M = 20.85, SD = 1.35). In the study, Pearson product-moment correlation analysis was conducted to examine the relationships between the variables and then the serial mediation model was tested. The findings have revealed that psychological flexibility significantly predicts substance misuse, subjective well-being, and self-compassion. Additionally, the study identifies self-compassion as a mediator in the relationship between psychological flexibility and subjective well-being. While self-compassion contributes significantly to well-being, it does not explain the impact of psychological flexibility on substance misuse. Furthermore, subjective well-being also appears to be a mediator in the relationship between psychological flexibility and substance misuse, emphasizing its potential significance in reducing the likelihood of resorting substance misuse. Overall, the study contributes to understanding the pivotal role of self-compassion and psychological flexibility in fostering well-being and preventing substance misuse in the college setting.
摘要：
物质滥用是一个紧迫的公共卫生问题，尤其是在新兴的成年人中，对心理健康和整体福祉有影响。这项横断面研究调查了自我同情和主观幸福感在土耳其大学生心理灵活性与药物滥用之间的关系中的中介作用。该研究包括445名在蒂尔基耶州立大学注册的新兴成年人。大学参与者是通过使用雪球方法的便利抽样招募的。使用自我报告量表收集数据。样本为69%女性(n=307)和31%男性(n=138),年龄范围为18至26岁(M=20.85,SD=1.35)。在研究中,进行了Pearson乘积矩相关分析，以检查变量之间的关系，然后测试了序列中介模型。研究结果表明，心理灵活性可以显着预测药物滥用，主观幸福感，和自我同情。此外,该研究认为自我同情是心理灵活性和主观幸福感之间关系的中介。虽然自我同情对幸福有很大的贡献，这并不能解释心理灵活性对药物滥用的影响。此外，主观幸福感似乎也是心理灵活性和物质滥用之间关系的中介，强调其在减少滥用物质的可能性方面的潜在意义。总的来说,这项研究有助于理解自我同情和心理灵活性在大学环境中促进福祉和防止药物滥用方面的关键作用。
