Abstract :
The aim of this study was to determine the orientation patterns of university students to the future and to determine the way in which the psychological wellbeing of future orientations are affected. The research sample consisted of 807 students at the Faculty of Tourism at Akdeniz University selected through convenience sampling. In order to determine the wellbeing of the students in the survey, The Wellness Evaluation of Lifestyle Scale-Turkish Form (İHÖ) developed by Diener and others (2010) and translated from English into Turkish by Fidan and Usta (2013) was employed. In determining the future orientations of these students the Attitudes toward the Future Scale and Positive Future Expectations Scale developed by İmamoğlu (2001) was employed. Reliability, frequency, correlation and simple linear regression analysis were used in the analysis of the collected data from the questionnaire form. The results show that there is a meaningful relationship between the attitude toward the future and positive future expectations and a students’ psychological wellbeing and that positive future expectations influence wellbeing more than attitudes toward the future. This research is important in terms of university students’ orientation towards the future and its relationship with students’ psychological wellbeing and provides a source of information that can be used in the preparation of preventive and development programs in this respect
