Abstract

Life satisfaction is one of the essential goals of individuals in life. Today, the effects of increasingly lonely working and acting behaviors on life satisfaction have not been sufficiently studied. This study investigated the mediating role of positivity in the relationship between university students' life satisfaction and the tendency to act and work alone (i.e., lone wolf personality). The participants of the research are 249 people. The age of the participants is between 18-29 (Mean = 22.28, SD = 4.00). The Life Satisfaction with Life Scale, Lone Wolf Scale, and Positivity Scale were used as data collection tools in the study. The data were analyzed with the structural equation modeling method. According to the results, the lone wolf personality affects life satisfaction. In addition, it has been determined that positivity has a fully mediating role in the relationship between life satisfaction and lone wolf personality. The findings were discussed in the context of the literature.
