Abstract
This study primarily includes the investigation of separation anxiety, religious coping, fear of happiness and life satisfaction. Separation anxiety consisting of sub-factors of school phobia, fear of family members, being away from the secure base and general anxiety, extended analysis as psychological adjustment with other psychological variables. The data was collected from adolescents in Turkey (N=187 ). We applied statistical procedures first assessed whether gender influenced responding and summarized partial correlations among the religious and psychological constructs used to clarify the separation anxiety.Among separation anxiety sub-factors, the being away from a secure base representing most consistent factor was positively associated with fear of happiness, was negatively correlated with religious coping and life satisfaction. In general, separation anxiety assesses possible psychological challenges of school students and displayed association with fear of happiness. Religious coping correlated negatively with fear of happiness and separation anxiety but predicted life satisfaction. Surprisingly, the investigation produced no association between separation anxiety and life satisfaction. Such findings, in this way, need to be considered carefully in the cultural context. These results indicate that psychologists, educators and counselors who wish to evaluate and improve the happiness of school students, should consider religious values and avoidance from a secure base.
